Haunting...for a variety of reasons. Thank you for posting.

I just finished reading the story of Nadab and Abihu. Those who claim to be in the service of YHWH need to be very careful, they will be held to a higher standard.

The Didache was as a teaching for early gentile Christians who were not versed in the First Testament, nor did they have a sense of Jewish history. They probably did need to be told.

Your words touched me.

Would it not be great if satan would just come in his own name and announce that everyone had to receive a 666 tattoo?

I've read the Bible carefully and cannot find anywhere that a red heifer sacrifice or the use of the ashes are required for establishment of the temple. Am I missing something? I do find the red heifer sacrifice a surprising foreshadow of the real sacrifice Yeshua eventually made outside the camp.

I read that too but am unable to find a source for that statement. Maybe someone versed in the Talmud or Mishnah can clarify those remarks.

I understand that five red heifers that have been examined and found perfect by a group of Rabbis were recently flown from the US to Israel. They are yearlings and being held at an undisclosed location. I am curious to hear from other members about the significance of this event.

Yes, C.S. Lewis is worth the read. He has probably influence me more than any other author and I have read a ton. Many consider him the most influential writer of his century. Mere Christianity is perhaps his most influential work, The Chronicles of Narnia his most popular. My personal...

I now realize I totally missed the point of your post and for that I apologize. If the contradiction is between Scripture and church doctrine I have little difficulty. If the contradiction is between two apparently different Scriptures, my first answer may make a little sense. If it is...

Well, you can start with the books of Revelation and Daniel, but I don't think that is what you are asking. The one that jumps instantly to mind is Genesis 6: 3-4. I don't believe anyone understands those passages beyond speculation. The same is true of Exodus 23:19 (although there are lots...

I find reading the passage in multiple Bible versions can sometimes help. You might also try reviewing it in a Hebrew interlinear version and study the key words in the passage. Internet searches sometimes help if the confusion is a word meaning. There are also times that you just have to...

Yes my friend I understand. I can count on one hand the number of times I have had a full nights sleep in the past 8 years. It can get very tough. I also know what it is like (and how painful it can be) to look back. But I also know the beauty that comes from selflessness and caring for...

What is a "Club"? Isn't this just another word for a bar? Is it not a place to dress up to be seen, to drink and interact with others? Can't friends meet in the home, or maybe at a café or over lunch, or at the park? It seems to me someone is fogging the real issue here.

Head down, neck bent, shoulders small and stooped, Hands held to the face as if in prayer. Gazing into a void of empty dreams and promises, Yet sagging under the crush of self-creation. Heated, cooled, pampered; numb to the earth, Never feeling the sun, touching the wind or straining, To feel...

Great work! God wants you to leave your homeland And go to a strange and distant place, That you might share the gospel, That these might know His grace. That may be just down the street, but still strange and distant.

I absolutely love the little honey bear, it speaks to me on so many different levels. Welcome to CC yourself, you have a lot to contribute. I also like your bible reference to the commandments!

Welcome to CC Loielhn. There are lots of great people here, jump in. I am sure He has plans for your participation on this site too.

Welcome to CC, there are lots of great people here. Several generations ago my family immigrated from County Down. Somehow though, these words still resonance in my soul: Oh, Mary, this London's a wonderful sight With people here working by day and by night They don't sow potatoes nor barley...

You do amazing work. When I try to write something it usually takes me about three weeks!
