Hey all,Two mainstream Christian beliefs are warned against in one passage in the OT, and that is one of the reasons Jews continue to reject Yeshua as the Messiah. The problem is, these beliefs did not come from the Savior himself, but from those who followed. These two beliefs are (1) the Trinity and (2) abolishment of the Law. Neither of these…[Read more]

94,How can tongues be a sign to an unbeliever? You have you answer in Acts

Act 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance. Act 2:5 Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven. Act 2:6 And when this sound occurred, the…

Quote (t8 @ Oct. 10 2007,22:30)Quote (kejonn @ Oct. 07 2007,10:14)Yes, we are. But we then repent and give our life to Christ. How do we know what is sin after that point? You say sin is transgression of the law, but yet you deny that Christians have anything to do with the law. How do you reconcile these conflicting views?Not backing up WJ, but…[Read more]

Stumbled across this while looking at something else, but this gets back to the original posts of the is thread on 1 John 4:12.1Jn 4:12  No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us.The following may have been brough up in this thread, but I've seen many use it to say Moses spoke with…[Read more]

Hi all,I can't link directly to this weeks broadcast MP3s for Ronald Dart, but I'd highly encourage you to listen to them, particularly todays (Oct. 10, 2007). You can go to http://borntowin.net and then click on the link “Radio Archives” (I think) to listen to this weeks lessons.This week he has been talking about the sayings of Yeshua. It is…[Read more]

Actually, this verseMat 28:19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,Has nothing to do with the actual name of the three. It is a matter of authority. Have you ever heard something like “I've come in the name of XXXXXX”? For instance, in movies about medieval…[Read more]

WJ,You said Quote How can one who has not recieved the gift claim to know so much about the gift?Do you think Paul or Peter received every gift they taught about?And if on cannot understand the words coming out of his mouth, how does it edify him? edify means “To instruct especially so as to encourage intellectual, moral, or spiritual…[Read more]

samuel,Don't feel bad. I once went to a Baptist church where many people felt that people who attended any other church, Baptist or otherwise, were going to hell. I remember coming back from visitation once and telling of a good visit with a young couple. I was assured of their salvation (the best you can be in a short visit) but when I reported…[Read more]

94,

1Co 12:7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 1Co 12:8 For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; 1Co 12:9 to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 1Co 12:10 and to…

Quote (Mr. Steve @ Oct. 09 2007,14:55)To all;Throughout the book of Acts the Holy Spirit was poured out with the evidence of speaking in other tongues, not only Acts 2.  Please see Acts 8:15-19, 10:44, 11:15, and 19:2-6.  Normally the Holy Ghost was given by the laying on of hands, but not always.  Paul told Timothy not to neglect the gift that wa…[Read more]

Sam,There are some Messianic churches where dancing takes place. I think it is quite prevalent with Jews as well. Just don't do it in a Baptist Church .

Quote (Not3in1 @ Oct. 09 2007,02:33)I grew up in a church where everyone spoke in tongues (all the time). It was distracing and disorderly, not to mention LOUD! As a kid I thought it was kinda cool, and kinda scary. When I went to teen camp I received my “prayer language” is what they called it. Although to be honest, it never felt right to…[Read more]

Quote (thehappyman @ Oct. 08 2007,23:43)Hi All, Tongues ? Are they necessary ? Hmm. It worthy to be given instruction. Do People abuse it , hmm only the Holy Spirit leads us in all truth.

Ken,At first (on here) I wanted to reject the Sabbath too because I had a problem with the way you were “teaching” us. But thank God, I looked past that and saw your passion. And I realized what the 10 Commandments were all about: a very, very simple set of examples of what pleases our Father. If I can't set one day aside for Him, what does that…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Oct. 08 2007,11:36)Kejonn You say…Quote And your argument is even more fallacious. Show me where Yeshua spoke with anyone who was not a disciple after the resurrection!

Not3,Indeed. What does the Bible say?Luk 1:31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.Does it say “a spirit will be placed in your womb”?
