Come on Gene, support what you believe is truth!

Explain how Paul teaches what the Jesus taught, I gave you an example of the commands given by G-d; the Jesus says they are summed up in two commands and Paul says one. This is no “bait and switch”; it’s written fact. If there is a single teaching of Jesus that Paul twists, can he be a true apostle…[Read more]

@Gene,

Jesus said the “greatest commandment was to “LOVE” THE LORD, OUR GOD WITH ” ALL” OF OUR MIND, “ALL” OF OUR STRENGTH, “ALL” OF OUR SOUL

And Paul says, “For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Gal 5:14). Interestingly Paul left G-d out of the picture. This is flat out against what the Jesus…[Read more]

@Berean,

@DT

YOU

If you follow Paul, showing honor to the elderly is a sin. Should I disrespect the older in our society and treat them like dirt? Do you still NOT get it?!?!

Me

Where did you read that Paul said that?

I have never read that from Paul.…

Please read the following words from Paul lips:

Rom 3:20 “Therefore by the deeds of the…[Read more]

You’re not explaining how the first sentence of deut 30:19 is an oath; please explain.

Again, please find me ONE example where Paul claims the words he speaks are directly from G-d!

You didn’t speak on how the church is “unified.”

You didn’t say how you or anyone “serves the G-d of Israel”; to serve G-d, one must do as HE commanded and…[Read more]

Keith, where did you come up with Moses “promising life”? He simply said life and prosperity comes from following the commands of G-d…period! There was no “promise” or “oath” made in his statement; what he spoke was fact, follow G-d and live a long and prosperous life. What does the “life” Moses speaks of mean to you? Explain how you understand…[Read more]

Of course Deut 30:19 means what it says, but do you know what it says? To say it speaks of G-d making an oath is false; Moses is speaking to the Israelite nation. Then to say it references an eternal death/second death is taking out of context what Moses spoke.

Matt 6:33= Keep on seeking- FIRST- the kingdom and his( YHVH(Jehovah) righteousness and…

Berean, I keep asking if you have actually read any of the 613 commands G-d gave to the nation of Israel. When will you look them up and read them? They aren’t what you have been told they are. You can keep saying “moral law”, but that phrase is nowhere in either the Tanakh or your NT. There is no such thing as a “moral law”, only G-d’s commands…[Read more]

Berean, have you read any of the 613 commands given by G-d thru Moses to the nation of Israel? Can you explain why Moses tells the nation in Deut 30:11-20 G-d’s commands given are NOT hard to follow and why following them brings life and properity and not following them bring death and destruction? Can you explain Deut 5:29 when G-d says, “Oh tha…[Read more]

Does anyone comprehend what they read or do we live in a world of ear tickling sound bites? How can one quote Duet 30:19 and say it means the following?!?!?!?

God made an oath–LIFE or DEATH. By our actions we make the choice, both will be everlasting. The second death is everlasting.

This is comical! CONTEXT IS KING!! G-d isn’t speaking here, so…[Read more]

@Proclaimer,

Yes once dead one cannot be rejudged for past sin in the resurrection.

So what is the second death for?

@Keith,

Enoch and Elijah were sinners.

Apparently not to bad a “sinner” since G-d whisked them away and they NEVER saw death. You’re going to have a hard time squaring that one up for me; the Jesus died, and they didn’t and as you say, they were “sinners.”

Those all died back in Jesus’ day– My post is truth on that.

Don’t think I disagreed wit…[Read more]

@Keith,

Another great attribute of what Gods kingdom rule will accomplish for mankind= No resident will ever say–i am sick -Isaiah 33:24)

Please read the passage in the context it was written…eyes roll…and stop cherry picking phrases you like. Who will never say I am sick; what residents are spoken of here; who does this passage apply to? Who…[Read more]

@Proclaimer,

The soul that sins will die.

Absolutely, G-d said so; but, what must one do to live? (Ezek 18)

Therefore, death is the price of sin and it is a required payment.

When did G-d say death is the “required payment” for sin?

God is also merciful.

Absolutely!! He tells us HE is AND freely forgives those who come to HIM with a repentant hea…[Read more]

@Keith,

Jesus death covers repented sin.

Explain how the innocent can take on the sins of guilty when G-d said the guilty are responsible for their guilt. Will you enter a courtroom and take on the punishment of a murderer? So how can the Jesus take on the guilt of the entire world?

Jesus said-some of you here will never taste death– all there…

@Keith,

He only died 3 days and was raised.

So the Jesus died; how much greater then were Enoch and Elijah as neither saw death? You still haven’t answered the question of where in the Tanakh G-d said the Messiah was to die for the sins of mankind. The Tanakh speaks about the true Messiah, who he will be and what he will do; and I haven’t read a s…[Read more]

@Keith,

God loves all mankind, it’s why he sacrificed his son on all’s behalf.

There is so much wrong in this statement; how is sacrificing someone/putting them to death, an act of “love”?!?!

Since G-d only spoke HIS commands in the Tanakh, please find the passage saying G-d was sending HIS “son” to be sacrificed, find the passage saying…[Read more]

@Gene,

Let’s blow another hole in your “self will righteousness” theory.

Reading Isa 55:6-7 Seek the Lord when He is found, call Him when He is near. 7 The wicked shall give up his way, and the man of iniquity his thoughts, and he shall return to the Lord, Who shall have mercy upon him, and to our God, for He will freely pardon.

Seems to be sa…[Read more]

@Keith,

So G-d hates his creation?!?!? Ezek 18:32 “For it is not My desire that anyone shall die—declares the Sovereign GOD. Repent, therefore, and live!”

Seems G-d has given all a choice; but you have taken that option off the table by making G-d into your image and condemning virtually all of mankind to death.

@Keith,

You may want to read the entire 37th Psalm to place the two passages you quote into context. It doesn’t speak of a singular “wicked one” (which I have to presume you believe is referencing “Satan”) and you then continue on with what seems to be a reference to the “millennial age.”

This entire chapter speaks of security/protection for…[Read more]

@Gene,

Had to step away due to life events, but what you wrote concerning Jacob and Esau bugged me and had to dig into it further. You wrote:

GOD THE FATHER EVEN TRYS PEOPLE BEFORE THEY ARE EVEN BORN, just as he did in the case of Jacob and Esau. Saying, to Rebekah, “two nations are in your womb, and two manner of people, shall be separated from…
