Quote (kerwin @ Feb. 09 2010,17:39)gollamudi,I find it amazing when people do not understand what God meant when he stated “I desire Mercy, Not Sacrifice”.   Why do you think that statement answers you question about human sacrifice and Jesus' action of choosing to die on the cross?Hi brother Kerwin,My post says that blood is not alone required…[Read more]

Brother Nick,I never told that. Infact we never argued all these things when we became christians. God is the one who drawn us to Him through His spirit. But we came here to clarify our doubts on various issues that are not so clear in Bible. It is only a process for confirming what we really believed.Thanks and peace to youAdam

Thanks for such understanding brother kerwin. I was also like many such christians who believed those dogmas but I now started unlearning every thing and learning afresh what the Hebrew Bible says about Messiah.Peace to youadam

Hi brother Ed J,Please read my posts with care you will understand the interpretation of Jewish scriptures properly.

More…Is A Blood Sacrifice Required For Atonement?       Quite often, missionaries will cite Hebrews 9:22 (NT) which states: “Without the shedding of blood there is no remission” (forgiveness of sin). But is this true? Is this a Jewish concept? After all the New Testament claims to be the fulfillment of Judaism as found in the Jewish Bible. Le…[Read more]

THE LOST RELIGION OF JESUS?Link: http://www.lanternbooks.com/lantern%20pdf/akers.chapter2.pdfPlease share your viewsAdam

The problem with our Christianity is it doesn't reply the queries of Jewish views which are strongly supported by their scriptures. I showed some of the examples how our N.T material (I mean the historical narrations) contradict itself for which there is no consensus arrived so far right from Virgin Birth to ascention of Jesus. How can you say…[Read more]

Hi brother Gene,I always wonder how you are not fed up answering people's repeated queries and their negations on your strong reasons on 'Myth of Free Will'. I hope our brothers Ed J and Terraricca will realise these honest attempts of yours.peace and love to youAdam

We do not believe that the Messiah will be the son of G-d. We do not believe that he…[Read more]

Hi brother Terraricca,Please read this portion of my post above”This does not mean that a sinner does not make genuine choices. Sinners make free choices, but those choices will be according to their nature.
