@Danny,
It wasn’t I didn’t understand what was written; the point was really for Gene, if he’s still paying attention, where the unknown author of Hebrews says the punishment for violating the law of Moses is severe; meaning there must still be a punishment for violating God’s laws. That’s all.
I presume you still haven’t read the link I posted…[Read more]

@Danny,
You obviously didn’t read this link.
Read it, verify what I said, and get back to me…should you dare.
What is precious in your quoting of Heb 10:28 is what it says concerning the “law”; “A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion…” Your welcome Gene!

@Gene,
You ignored where in the Tanakh the “laws” “justified” anyone.
You ignored what made Abraham righteous as he kept God’s commandments, statutes, and laws all before they were given to the Israelite’s at Mt. Sinai. Something tells me these commands, statutes, and laws are really written on everyone’s hearts.
You ignored how the few command…[Read more]

You: Those sacrifices you are talking about were for false gods.
Me: Of course they were and God said they were detestable.
You: Shame on you for making no distinction at all.
Me: What distinction am I suppose to make? God said human sacrifice is detestable and Jesus is said to be the sacrificial lamb, the…[Read more]

But pointy fingers don’t explain anything do they!
Judging by your lack of answers to the questions asked, you really don’t know what you believe or why, which is sad. How are you bringing anyone to the Jesus if you can’t answer questions asked and explain the why? You seem like the typical uneducated christian who parrots all they h…[Read more]

You’re excused!
The holy spirit was a brief section, then I moved onto the great liar of the NT because you quoted him, and the part you were suppose to focus on was after that – Isa 53:1-5. If you would have read what I wrote in its entirety you would have picked up on this portion where I painstakingly dissected verses 1-5 and asked a…[Read more]

@Berean,
You: It doesn’t matter if the Holy Spirit is a person or not…
Me: It does if you are looking for truth. Apparently the truth isn’t a concern for you.Thank you for your perfect none response, proving you have know idea why you believe what you believe. Remain in your slumber of religion and continue to ignore the obvious.

If you have been reading my comments to others, you would know my stance on Paul. I have given references/passages showing how Paul is deceptive; yet, not a word to the contrary.
You keep bringing up the “law doesn’t justify”, where in the Tanakh does it state anyone is justified by the Law given to Moses; God s…[Read more]

Is the “holy spirit” a separate person of God like trinitarians believe or is “holy” just a description of God’s spirit? After all in the Tanakh “holy Spirit” is said three times and every time it’s said, “holy” is an adjective describing God’s “Spirit.” You say you don’t believe in the trinity, yet you use th…[Read more]

You: WHEN WILL YOU GET IT INTO YOUR MIND, THAT THE OT. IS OBSOLETE?
Me: Never!! God says his law is forever.
If the OT is obsolete, why do you continually reference it; it makes no sense. If it’s obsolete, why are you quoting Jer 31 in this diatribe of nonsense you are spewing? You quote starting in verse 31 and still have no idea w…[Read more]

How do you come up with this stuff?!? Either the words written mean exactly what they say or they don’t; if they don’t what they say, then everything in the bible must be thought of as an interpretive literary work that can mean anything the reader wishes. I say the first option because my God wasn’t maliciously hiding anything or try…[Read more]

You quote a verse and now I have three questions for you:
What does it mean??
Who is speaking and to whom are they speaking about in this dialog?
What is the entire context of this section (Isa 53:1-9)?

You: THAT YOU ARE A STUPID PERSON WITH EVERY RESPECT!
Me: Be thankful there are rules on this website and I respect my fellow man, whether we agree or not, to not drop to worse than childish levels because we disagree. In nothing you wrote did you substantiate your position; all you did was, as Paul, twist God’s words to mean what you w…[Read more]

The book of Hebrews is so corrupt it must be removed; anyone who uses it continues to push its corruption.
Every letter Paul wrote is a lie, he admits to robbing the early church, twists God’s words to make them his own, hates the Jewish people, whined about all of Asia rejecting him (doesn’t Jesus say to Ephesus they did well in…[Read more]

@Danny,
You reject God saying human sacrifices are detestable to HIM and also accuse God of doing exactly what HE commanded mankind to never do.
You reject God saying everyone is responsible for their own transgressions and accept Jesus taking on your sins.
You reject God’s saying no one can atone for another man’s sin, but believe Jesus ato…[Read more]

GOD WAS ALONE BEFORE CREATION — you know this how? What about the angels?
MAN WAS ALONE IN HIS CREATION — was he, wasn’t God there too?
GOD MADE A HELPER FOR THE MAN LIKE HIMSELF — because HE said it wasn’t good for man to be by himself, without a compatible mate.
ANOTHER HUMAN BEING THE WOMAN — would be a mouse…

What is the point you are trying to get at?
If God was alone before creation, then Jesus couldn’t possibly preexist. hmmmm!

@Danny,
You: God decided to save us THROUGH HIS SON. Do you have a problem with that?
Me: This “saving” you speak of was through the death of “His son” but creates an issue with God’s word since HE doesn’t accept human sacrifice, HE says every man will be held accountable for their sins, and no one can atone for the sins of another.

@Gene
You’re missing the point, in the Tanakh God speaks through HIS prophets and is always prefaced by a variation of “declares the Lord.” Where is this in the NT? For Jesus to claim what he speaks comes from God is not provable; I can say the spirit lead me to tell you to walk and not drive to work today. From my statement do we have any pro…[Read more]

I have no idea what translation you’re using, but throw it away; it’s corrupt. Gen 2:18 in every translation I reference it says “I” will make him a helper – no “us.” This means God alone is going to do this. Besides, do you really believe the One who created light, time, celestial bodies, placed this planet at the right distance fr…[Read more]
