It's a forum. Whether a chat or a forum, if one isn't contributing then what's the point of communicating? And this is specifically the bible discussion forum, where we discuss the bible based on the specific thread topic. It's crazy how two recent members seek to explain to me etiquette and...

Twice, replying to my comments He's made open statements that "people need to read the entire bible" insinuating that I haven't. Judged me twice. The first time I turned the cheek, the second time I called him out on it. The statement does nothing to edify. My message to him is if there is a...

What exactly are you contributing here? Please enlighten me?

I quake at your obviously verifiable testimony!! They determine whether they'll receive Him or not (and whichever consequences result from that choice). He doesn't force Himself on anyone. Statements like this do nothing but reveal one's own arrogance because it isn't edifying (which...

:unsure:...Well, when the very last book of all of scripture, detailing the end result, isn't good enough explanation I don't know what else to tell ya! The Mystery of God is "Christ in you". It's the first critical step like you alluded to and I agreed with. But it isn't the only purpose...

Yeah. It is written that the end was told from the beginning. Recall that the living God walked in the garden and communed with Adam (and Eve) and then note the passage posted by JAPOV just above. The Almighty REALLY, REALLY wants to dwell with us in this place that He's created. That was the...

The world will end. The earth will not. It will be renewed.

Lol, you're hilarious, Nehemiah, I tell ya. This place wouldn't be what it is without you.

Exactly. It's the difference between biblical astronomy and pagan astrology. Astronomy tells His story, while astrology is a perversion of people attempting to foretell their own story/fortunes. Everything was made for and about His Son.

Let me get this straight... Claiming that the God of the universe - who we say made everything - aligned, in advance, the entire heavens to signal the birth of His Son, sounds kookie...but saying a magical floating apparition hovered over the exact house of His Son's birth - one that no one...

Again, no scripture says a star showed them the exact house. But to explain the relatively low position; it's an effect of perspective. Notice the conjunction of Regulus & Jupiter (HaMelech HaTzedeck: "The King of Righteousness") at 13:00 hrs in Iran on 9/12/-2. Notice how far away the...

Ok. A few things... 1) It's folklore that the astronomers were led to the exact house. The star led the astronomers to the TOWN of Bethlehem, westward from their land of Babylon in the east. The shepherds already living in the town - who were told by Gabriel about Messiah the night of the...

Hmm. You say this...and yet you're the one seeking a different explanation because you can't accept the text for what it says. It doesn't take a genius to accept what is written. The text says it was a star...but you can't accept it because you can't understand how stars can appear to move one...

Retrograde motion makes astronomical objects (like planets) appear fixed or appear to move backward from our terrestrial perspective. The Almighty set the planets in their courses. Its mathematical precision was established at the creation, long before the birth of Messiah, for just the right...

Well, a few things... 1) Not all the law has been fulfilled, said by Messiah Himself. The fact that we have remaining prophecies to fulfill from Ezekiel to Revelation - as well as the remaining Holy Sabbath feasts of the Fall - prove there's still much remaining. Colossians 2:17 says "which...

Can you provide proof of this in scripture, specifically, that the instructions were for missionary work and not for the church at large? Because letters were delivered to communities (synagogues) who followed the elders of The Way; teaching Moses every sabbath day. What distinguishes the church...

Apologies for the late reply this week... Acts 21:17-24 17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly. 18 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present. 19 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God...

Are you saying all three of these points are what you hear, or were you listing the different things possibly interpreted from the passage (I'm asking because I'm not sure)? What I'm saying is Paul wasn't referring to your number 1 or 2 in Colossians 2. What I mean is, those weren't the issue...

"Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it." I think we should breakdown what Paul says...
