Quote (kerwin @ June 11 2010,16:30)Adam,I did not understand his argument as it relates to the passover lamb forshadowing Jesus act of self sacrifice which sealed the new covenant.I also asked about his link of Abraham sacrificing a goat instead of his Son to the Passover which occured many years later as the link he mentioned is unclear to me.You…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ June 11 2010,01:28)Adam………Your mixing up a (SPIRITUAL COVENANT) with a (PHYSICAL COVENANT) Jesus was the mediator of a NEW COVENANT. WE know GOD is Spiritual and what he did was work with those (carnal) minded Israelites (not just Jews as the Jews were only 1/13 of what composed Israel) in CARNAL WAY. How ever there…[Read more]

Please read this also..A Study of the Hebrew Tanakh (Old Testament)Here is a partial list of reasons for why the death of Jesus on the cross couldn’t possibly have served as a valid sacrifice – any one of these would render a sacrifice as unacceptable for the purpose of expiation of sins.GIVEN that, at the time of Jesus’ death, the Second Templ…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ June 10 2010,21:33)Adam,Do you understand what your source is saying?If so them please explain his point to me.What does he mean by “Foreshadow”?Why does he compare the sacrifice of a goat by Abraham to the sacrifice of the lamb at Passover?That connection apears to be mystical.Do you see any other connection?Hi brother Kerwin,Do…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ June 10 2010,21:44)Except for Adam?Perhaps your statement is speculation?Hio brother T8,Nice to get your response for my post after a long time. You may be right since I search for truth by leaving all my pre-conceived ideas. Peace to youAdam

Did the Passover Lamb Foreshadow Jesus?      Question: I want to first commend you on your web site which is laid out quite well and has helped me understand more about traditional Jewish thinking on Christ.  Although I am a born again Christian, I do not support groups such as the Messianics who sit on the fence regarding Judaism and Chr…[Read more]

Quote (karmarie @ June 07 2010,19:39)Adam, Trying to determine who the Son is how he was created and so on, who are those who God takes and approves of? Those who worship him in Spirit and in truth. Does truth mean simply to seek and find the truth? I dont think so, truth of the heart, truth of who we are, withour deception, in Spirit, with our…[Read more]

Quote (942767 @ June 08 2010,14:20)Quote (gollamudi @ June 04 2010,21:15)Hi brother Marty,I appreciate your post above. But the Hebrew Passover was nothing to do with sin atonement except the day of atonement. Early Christians had interpreted every thing as per their will and wish to prove Jesus' death in terms of Jewish traditions. I don't agree…[Read more]

Quote (karmarie @ June 05 2010,22:21)Hi Adam.Yeah iv been going through the whole thinking, searching thing the last few days again, and today Iv decided nah iv had enough already of that. It gets too confusing. Better to stick with just the words we have I think. (The bible!)But I will try to help if I can and will pay more attention to a few…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ June 05 2010,18:56)Adam,It is with great sadness that I admit that there will be those that twist the scripture because of either their ignorance or corruption but we cannot let their actions destroy our faith.It is my concern that you have done just that.  That is a deadly path to follow.Thanks for such warning. But I am still…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ June 05 2010,15:16)Adam,I still do not believe you understand me.  Jesus declared that we cannot come to him except if God leads us.  I hold that statement to be true.  Why do you think anyone this realm or of the spiritual realm can obstruct God.  It cannot be done unless God desires and if he does then he has a good purpose for…[Read more]

Thank you very much Karmarie, whether you are brother or sister I don't know but I am once again thankful to you for your advice on knowing truth. Till today I am a Christian and pray to God through Jesus' name only. You know last 6 years I am in search of truth about God of Bible and his relationship to historical Jesus. But I find what the…[Read more]

Thanks again for your response Karmarie. I am not sticking to any particular sect of Christianity right now. I am on the search for truth.Thanks and love to youAdam

Quote (kerwin @ June 04 2010,21:50)Adam,Why should I accuse another of evil without evidence to back up the accusation?   The only evidence I have is that potentially false scriptures have entered the bible and scripture may has been deleted.   Some were most likely done by corrupt individuals who I certainly would not refer to as pious and o…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ June 04 2010,21:28)Adam,You are correct that many that call themselves Christian have chosen to fellow false teachings and some of those erronously teach that Jesus is God.   Jesus and his servants warned that this would happen in scripture.  It is sad that it has but be careful not to blame all those who call themselves C…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ June 04 2010,15:14)Adam,Are you attempting to claim that someone inserted writing into the gospels that was not actually part of them.  I am not going to disagree with that claim ads is true in some cases.  I happen to know that some of what is written in our modern versions is questionable and that issue has been addressed in v…[Read more]
