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.

You say the “key theme” of the NT is “the innocent bearing the guilt of the wicked” and to make this claim calls G-d a liar. Everywhere in the Tanakh it is said the guilty are held accountable for their guilt, not the other way around. Would you walk into a courtroom and tell the judge to let the murder go and you will serve his punishm…

Hi desiretruth.

I see you have a problem that I see many others have today. No matter what is put forth, people are stubborn like mules and refuse to change. But I am not responsible for decisions that only you can make. I simply put forth truth and if someone hears it they have ears and if they cannot hear it, they are deaf. If they cannot see…[Read more]

You say the Jesus prophesied of his own death for the sins of others; I’ll ask again, when did God change his mind and say the innocent can take on the guilt of the wicked?

The idea of the innocent bearing the guilt of the wicked is a key theme in the New Testament. It’s not about God changing His mind but rather a gradual revelation of His j…[Read more]

No, Jews are not only from the tribe of Judah. While the term “Jew” is derived from “Judah,” one of the 12 tribes of Israel, it came to represent the people of Israel as a whole, particularly after the Babylonian Exile.

Historically, the 12 tribes of Israel were descended from the 12 sons of Jacob (also known as Israel). The tribe of Judah became…[Read more]
