sure. Jesus is described as a lord. Do you know why, in verse 13, “lord” is in capital letters, Liljon? Many Bibles, where they have removed God's name, (Jehovah), they replaced it with “GOD” or “LORD” in capital letters. In this particular verse, the writer is quoting from the Hebrew scriptures, where there is no doubt that God's name is. It…[Read more]

So, Easter is coming.Of course, we are commanded to memorialize the Lord's death, but this has little to do with Easter.What is the origin this “Christian” celebration and the customs associated with it?The Encyclopædia Britannica comments: “There is no indication of the observance of the Easter festival in the New Testament, or in the writings of…[Read more]

Babylon, Assyria, Egypt, Greece, Rome, Syria, Buddhism and Hinduism all have had their trinities, way before the idea of a trinity was ever established in Christendom.False religion had its beginning at Babel (later known as Babylon) (Gen. 10:8-10; 11:4-9) In time, Babylonish religious beliefs and practices spread to many lands. So Babylon the…[Read more]

Quote Yes i understand what you are saying, but i disagree. All other Gods are false. Jeremiah 10:10 (Whole Chapter)But the Lord is the true God and the God of truth (the God Who is Truth). He is the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth quakes, and the nations are not able to bear His indignation. 2 Chronicles 15:3 (Whole…[Read more]

In the Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th edition, vol. 14, p. 273, we read, “In the Egyptian churches the cross was a pagan symbol of life borrowed by the Christians and interpreted in the pagan manner.” I use this only as an example of the fact that Christendom has a great tendancy to adopt pagan practices and beliefs. I would love to discuss the…[Read more]

Quote David,Jesus was crucified on a cross http://www.truthnet.org/Christianity/Apologetics/newtestament10?AlsoImmortal Soul was not borrowed from paganism but was taken from the bible. The Trinity has its foundations within scripture.You have given no proof of christinizing beliefs but only of practices.Still, Liljon, if so called Christians are…[Read more]

Liljon, the cute little easter bunny and the easter eggs are from pagansim and are ancient symbols of fertility.CHRISTENDOM BORROWED THEM FROM PAGANISM.The christmas tree, exchanging of gifts, the lights surrounding the house, holly, mistletoe, the celebration itself, the date–are all borrowed from pagansim and pagan festivals.CHRISTENDOM…[Read more]

HI LILJON,Quote Whether cross or stake jesus died for us but evidence destroys the myth that jesus was on a stake. Also the trinity is not three gods so what does pagans worshipping 3 gods (and tons more) have to do with anything.The trinity is not 3 gods so what does pagans worshipping 3 gods have to do with anything? Really?Well, it's just that…[Read more]

Quote “God is so past our understanding that trying to fully understand the Trinity is impossible.”Yes, but what I would say to that is: the word “Father” and the word “son” are not past our understanding. And Jehovah wants us to know him, doesn't he? Doesn't John 17:3 say that He wants us to take in knowledge of him and his son? Why would he…[Read more]

Quote Secondarily, if we are “born with sin” by inheritance, so was Yahshua. He is a son of Adam (Luke 3:38). To say that he is not really a descendant of Adam, (1 John 4:3), is to deny the many scriptures which say that he would be the seed of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, Jesse, David, etc.. This is the biggest problem with the “inherited…[Read more]

THE TRINITY HAS CONFUSED GOD IN THE MINDS OF MANY. Even a pope once called it an “inscrutable mystery.” Certainly, God’s interests are not served by making Him, His Son, and His holy spirit confusing and mysterious. And it does not serve the interests of people to be confused. WHO BENEFITS BY THIS CONFUSION?The more people become confused a…[Read more]

The New Encyclopædia Britannica says: “Neither the word Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord’ (Deut. 6:4). . . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and throug…[Read more]

CHRISTIANITY WAS CORRUPTED BY PAGANISM.–We see this with holidays (Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc, etc, etc.)–We see this with symbols such as the cross which was a sacred symbol in numerous places far before Jesus, whereas the Bible says Jesus died on a stauros or xylon (stake, timber)–And we see this with the certain beliefs such as the…[Read more]

Here is a clearer definition of what I believe sin is:A missing of the mark, according to the Hebrew and Greek Bible texts. God himself sets the “mark” that his intelligent creatures are to reach. Missing that mark is sin, which is also unrighteousness, or lawlessness. (Rom. 3:23; 1 John 5:17; 3:4) Sin is anything not in harmony with God’s perso…[Read more]

Quote We are born with sin which is why a newborn baby may die having not necessarily “sinned.” The wages of sin is death. Death should have no effect on anyone if he/she is truly without sin.I think the above is a good point by Cubes.The common Hebrew term translated “sin” is chat·ta´th´; in Greek the usual word is ha·mar·ti´a. In both lang…[Read more]

Quote After reading your posts it became obvious that you believe that the Jews are the antichrist and Jerusalem the harlot. Please read this scripture then Romans chapter 11.Rom 11:26 and so “ALL” Israel shall be saved: even as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:The Word is truth…[Read more]

Kenrch, you miss my point.”Tell Paul he won't make it because he is a Jew.”Paul will make it. But it's not because he's a natural Jew. Being a natural or fleshly Jew certainly doesn't mean Paul's salvation.Didn't Paul say: “THERE IS NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN JEW AND GREEK, for there is the same Lord over all, who is rich to all those calling upon…[Read more]

Sorry Sammo, I've been somewhat busy lately and I have the flu. As well, in the back of my mind, I feel I can't say anything until I have looked at every scripture related (which will take a while.) But, for now, let me just comment on this:Quote I agree with almost everything you say about Christians being a spiritual Israel, as opposed to…[Read more]

Sammo, are you still there? I really wanna discuss this subject and not leave any related scriptures unturned. There is a lot we have yet to touch.david.
