Hi Istari,Welcome to HN! Just wanted to tell you that the day isn't worshiped. The event that God orchestrated is celebrated, not worshiped. Purim was a manmade tradition which God never spoke against, did you think of that?Churches celebrate the communion often, some of them, anyway.Sorry I'm so brief but I am being told that we have to go to…[Read more]

Thanks Karmarie!

Quote (david @ Jan. 01 2011,00:48)Quote Is it wrong to celebrate Hanukah too at the end of December because the sun god (who doesn't even exists) was celebrated during that time by the pagans? But wouldn't purposefully picking the date of the sun god be wrong?If Hitler and Obama lived at the same time and were enemies, and Hitler died, and nazi's…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Jan. 01 2011,00:42)Quote We don't know the exact date, you are correct, but to not celebrate it because there are others that are/were celebrated on that date seems to be a 'religious' and 'legalistic' reason to me. The earliest Christians did know the date.  And yet, they didn't celebrate it.  It was not celebrated for a few h…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Jan. 01 2011,00:37)Quote A cave can be a barn for livestock or abode for people.  I don't know how you can be so certain to say that it wasn't a cave.  God the Father certainly could have had His Son born in a cave type shelter and even given them another cave type shelter for a longer term.  My point is, the Bible doesn't say th…[Read more]

Pierre,The Father and the Son are both on the throne in their temple.

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Dec. 31 2010,17:18)Quote (Lightenup @ Dec. 31 2010,14:29)Look at #4 “His temple.”  The word “His” refers to “the Lord” in the same verse, verse 3 and “the Lord” is Christ who is the one coming.Hi Kathi,First, the only ones in scripture who are said to have temples are God and false gods.  Jesus is neither of these things K…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Dec. 26 2010,18:21)Well Edj,At least you came to the topic but you are addressing others when you need to work this out with me.  I find that strange.Also, as I have explained to you before, I don't have a problem with anyone quoting part of a post especially when the rest of the quote is referenced, I have a problem with…[Read more]

Kerwin,Edj said early on that he would not open my PM's to him so therefore discussing it privately was impossible. Thanks for your thoughts, as you can see, our words have fallen on deaf ears and I have tried to bring understanding. I have done my part, no one can change another man's heart.

Pierre,I will put who I think the pronouns refer to in parenthesis:Mal 3:1-33 “Behold, I (the Father) am going to send My (the Father's) messenger, and he (John the Baptist) will clear the way before Me (the Father). And the Lord (Jesus/Messiah), whom you seek, will suddenly come to His (Jesus/Messiah) temple; and the messenger of the covenant…[Read more]

Pierre,There are two different messengers in that passage. The messenger that will prepare the way of the Lord is John the Baptist, the messenger of the new covenant is Christ. God's temple is also Christ's temple. The glory of God fills the temple and the Son is the radiance of that glory.

Hi Pierre,If you read on the 'Christmas' topic, we were discussing such things as the sabbath and the conception of Jesus. I bumped a post that I made here that was related to that.

Hi Irene,Good verses about the 'body' but doesn't say about the 'spirit' of the person.

Quote (terraricca @ Dec. 30 2010,23:41)Kathithis is your say;You might read my post again (first one on this page) and see that Christians haven't changed the sabbath day from the seventh day of the week, God changed the sabbath day to the day you believe in Christ and enter into His rest, NOT to the Sun's day.  It is no longer a weekly day.…[Read more]
