Convenient Faith

We are living in rather troublous times, aren’t we? There are wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes and tsunamis, pestilences and destruction, uncertain economic times, killings of innocent babies, decline in moral standards, and so much more atrocities and cruelty pervading the human family.

It is as e…[Read more]

People accused Jesus of breaking the Sabbath.

But did Jesus actually break God’s commandment?

The answer is found in the difference between God’s Sabbath and human traditions.

The Sabbath commandment says:

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.”
(Exodus 20:8–11)

Jesus kept the Sa…[Read more]

HIS WORDS AND HIS EXAMPLE

A ​​large crowd listened to him with delight. (Mark 12:34)

Christ never viewed anyone as insignificant or beyond redemption; instead, He strove to bring salvation to all. He always had a lesson that was useful and relevant to the situation at hand. He sought to instill hope in the most hopeless individuals, ass…[Read more]

Of course Hebrew names have a meaning behind them, but what does that have to do with the fact the Jesus was NOT named Immanuel as was supposedly prophesied about him in Isa 7:14?

Your response comes from my comment to Lightenup where he says the Tanakh DOESN’T say The Messiah is to come twice and your response is “logic”?!??! Please enlighten me! The only “logic” needed is what the Tanakh says.

I thought this child was to be named “Immanuel” (Isa 7:14) and now his name is “the Jesus.”

In biblical times, a name meant much more than the word used to identify someone. A name could represent a person’s purpose, identity, character, reputation, authority etc.

When the Bible speaks about “the name of Jesus” fir example, it usually means m…[Read more]

HI LU

Interesting what say Origen about the Son as the visible YHWH of the Old Testament,

E.G.White largely agrees with Origen and explains why it is not the Father who intervenes in His dealings with humanity.

The rock hyrax is a terrestrial mammal that resembles a guinea pig and is found in Israel. As its name reveals, it lives among rocks in which it can quickly escape from predators. The animals are especially known for using sentries that send out alarm calls from high points if a predator comes close.

GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISES

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son. (Galatians 4:4)

Christ came into this world to reveal the Father, to give humanity a true knowledge of God, and to manifest His love. Without the knowledge of God, humanity would be utterly lost. Life and strength must be imparted by the One who created…[Read more]

So you wholly rely on the interpretations of man…interesting!

When are you going to read and study what G-d said or do the interpretations of man supersede G-d’s words?

Is this another drive by commentary or will you engage in a conversation?

What do you think about these things from Origen:

More from Origen:

1. Psalm 102 → Hebrews 1:10–12 applied to the Son

If Donald Trump is the president, then Kamala Harris is NOT the president.

If you are someone, then no one else is that someone.

Basic stuff.

Absolutely, so why do you believe the Jesus will come twice?

Logic is one reason.

God brings the law and the law condemns.

God brings grace and forgives those who are repentant.

God works through one flock, the Jews, and they have the law.

God works through another flock, the Church, and they have grace.

God is sovereign. He can unravel his…[Read more]

How have I spoken “rudely” to you; please provide examples. To say you have given “many hours of thoughtful responses”… REALLY!! you’ve peddled what you have been taught (the irony is, it’s mostly the same thing I was taught); I want truth! You’ve run from virtually every question I’ve asked.

I have given many hours of thoughtful responses to DesireTruth and have answered the questions the best I know how. In return I have been spoken to rudely, and I am choosing to not continue responding to him anymore.

You speak of “veils” blinding people from seeing the truth; yet, you haven’t provided any proof the Jesus is THE Messiah (parachuting onto a verse, copy/paste theology, and misinterpreting the Tanakh doesn’t count as proof). Do you know who THE Messiah will be or what he will do according to the Tanakh? If the Jesus’ life per the N…[Read more]

That’s an interesting story about Garcia. Satan is such a big deceiver. I’m expecting heaven to be completely without deception.

Do you realize that you put salvation into the hand of Satan to distribute by believing that Satan keeps many from finding “the road?” If Satan keeps many from finding the road than the leading of humanity to salvation belongs to him. Such power you give him. Is that what you want to teach?? Do you have a Bible verse for this?

Why Some Titles Are Never Applied to Satan — Before or After the Resurrection

1. Titles Satan IS called before the resurrection:
– “ruler of this world” (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11)
– “the one who had the power of death” (Heb 2:14)
– “deceiver of the whole world” (Rev 12:9)
– “accuser” with access to heaven (Job 1–2; Zech 3:1–2)

Patristic Support for Reading “the God of This Age” as Christ (2 Cor 4:4)

Several major patristic voices understood “the god of this age” to refer to Christ, not Satan. Their reasoning is rooted in the flow of 2 Cor 3–4, the Isaiah 6 pattern of divine blinding, and the conviction that Christ blinds by glory.

Cyril of Alexandria — Christ…[Read more]

Paul’s argument in 2 Cor 3–4 only stays coherent if “the God of this age” refers to Christ, not Satan.

2 Cor 3:12–15 — God veils hardened hearts.
2 Cor 3:16 — Christ removes the veil when one turns.
2 Cor 3:18 — Believers behold Christ’s glory.

The general reader sees that you judged a book by your bias, not because you read it.  The book is a scholarly book.

There is a YouTube channel you can also learn some things from here (I’m not saying that I agree with it completely but it is a channel that would benefit you, imo):

Let’s have a quick lesson in truth!

This discussion has circled around one repeated claim: that Jesus cannot be the Messiah because “the Messiah must have a biological father from Solomon’s line.” The problem is that this requirement is not found anywhere in the Tanakh. It is an assumption being treated as a divine rule.
