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

God is a God of truth. No lie or contradiction.

The soul that sins will die.

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

God is also merciful.

He sent his son into the world to pay the price for our sin…[Read more]

Jehovah alone is the true living God, Jesus is the true living Gods son.

Agreed. There is one God, the Father, and one Lord, the Lord Jesus Christ.

The two-horned ram that you saw represents the kings of Media and Persia. The shaggy goat is the king of Greece, and the large horn between its eyes is the first king. The four horns that replaced the one that was broken off represent four kingdoms that will emerge from his nation but will not have the same power.

What does Jonah have to do with these passages? I’m speaking of the writer of Matthew taking Hosea out of context and somehow applying it to the Jesus when the context is explicitly a reference to Israel.

Lol, you just proved my point. No point in explaining it. You are not ready.

I finally realize the difference between christianity and what is written in the Tanakh concerning sin; christianity believes sin is a condition or an attribute/characteristic of humanity, consider themselves dirty rags, and thus need a “redeemer” to be forgiven; the Tanakh teaches sin is an action and you have a choice, obey G-d or not.

Sin is…[Read more]

 Additionally, Christians cross the line whenever they support laws or regulations that force particular religious beliefs—especially Sunday rest—on all citizens.

Unless it is established to protect the freedom to believe. Trump could be a modern day Cyrus.

I wasn’t speaking of paying a “fine”; I’m speaking of taking on the guilt of another; assuming the punishment of the guilty. Simply paying a “fine” is a monetary extortion of breaking a law and is used for compliance;

Sin has a cost and so does breaking man’s law. The cost for breaking some laws is a fine. The cost for sin is death. Jesus Chris…[Read more]

I feel like your questions are a waste of time.

Ask me one intelligent question and I’ll give you an answer

I could be wrong, but when I search on this it seems that this was an early Jewish Practice around the time of the Second Temple period (around 500 BCE – 70 CE). Jewish communities began avoiding the pronunciation of the divine name out of reverence. Instead, they would substitute “Adonai,” meaning “Lord,” during recitations or prayers. This p…[Read more]

The name of God, YHWH (or Yahweh), wasn’t removed from the Bible but was often replaced with “Lord” out of reverence. In Jewish tradition, God’s name was considered too sacred to say aloud, so they used “Adonai” (meaning “Lord”) instead. When the Bible was translated into Greek and Latin, this practice continued, and “Kyrios” or “Dominus” (both m…[Read more]

It is true that it is God whom we should seek. Jesus Christ is the mediator of this, so it is through him that we come to the Father. I think many denominations teach that Jesus is the destination when it is the Father.

What about Matt 5:43 where the Jesus says “you shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy”; where did God said to “hate your enemy.”

It does not say, “It is written”, but rather, “it hath been said”.

Matt 2:15 to Hosea 11:1; do they agree? Explain how if you believe they do.

Carnality cannot see the deeper truths of scripture and wisdom. It is superficial. Jonah was in the belly of the big fish for 3 days and so the Son of Man was in the belly of the earth. Both rose from that hell.

Jesus is also an embodiment of Israel. Both are called Son.…[Read more]

I’m still waiting for when G-d, speaking thru the prophets, said the blood of the messiah was to save mankind from eternal death and sin.

That’s fine. You will also be waiting for the exact day and date for the end of this world.

I’m still waiting for when G-d, speaking thru the prophets, said the blood of the messiah was to save mankind from eternal death and sin.

Think about it, if God let out that part of his plan as you think he should have if it were true, then Jesus Christ would not have been sacrificed on a cross. Simple as that.

but we speak God’s wisdom in a mys…[Read more]

So you “put forth truth” where did you learn this truth? Your next statement is an eye catcher, so only those who agree with your version of “truth” are the one’s who have ears to hear and those who disagree with your “truth” are deaf?!!?

I’m referring to scripture being true.
