You're right! This is an important piece of knowledge. 2 Peter 1 New International Version (NIV) 1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours: 2 Grace and peace be...

Knowledge alone will only puff us up, we need to strike a balance between knowledge and spirituality. DustyRhodes is right: we don't need to know everything about God to have peace and faith. My denomination puts faith and love above knowledge. I fellowship with people who can barely read and...

Job 40:11 (NIV) Unleash the fury of your wrath, look at all who are proud and bring them low,

In addition to what has been said by others, it is important to bear in mind that Jesus was preaching to the Jews, who were expecting a King who would be called The Prince of Peace. Some theologians say Jesus was going to be an earthly king, but since He was rejected by His own people this...

Beautiful passage, but Joshua told the people of Israel to do everything written the Book of the Law. Back then it was possible to do everything, but today it is not and we are not allowed to pick and choose which laws we will follow.

Job 38:32 King James Version (KJV) Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?

Hi, brother SG! Paul said: I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. Much to my regret, I am not able to...

God is not a god of confusion, but the majority of theologians are. Jesus taught obedience to the Law of Moses. When the young rich ruler asked Him "what shall I do to inherit eternal life?", Jesus answered: "Keep the commandments". To the man cured of leprosy He said: "Show yourself to the...

After a quick reading I came to the following conclusion: Hebrew probably is indeed the oldest language on Earth. It was handed down from Adam to Abraham and he brought it from Mesopotamia to Canaan. Since the Canaanites didn't have a unified language (there were many tribes with many languages)...

Thanks, I'll do that! Now, look what I found: Is Hebrew the oldest language on Earth? Jeff Benner, 20+ years teaching Biblical Hebrew and Bible interpretation. Was Hebrew the first language spoken in the world? I am going to answer this question from a Biblical Perspective and from this...

Hi SG! At least with regard to the bolded sentence above, I agree with you. IMO this grace-plus-nothing theology is deceitful. Obviously we are not saved by works, but the absence of benevolent actions reveals a dead faith. I can't turn down a beggar on the grounds that salvation is not by works.

It seems to be interesting, but it's too expensive for me to buy. Now that I'm retired, I see everything as expensive. The Name of God; From Sinai to the American Southwest by Dr. James R. Harris (Book) $19.95 Professor James R. Harris, a foremost expert on ancient Near Eastern languages...

Job 38:13 (ESV) that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it?

Nice to know that! I don't like the Bible Code either, IMO it's ridiculous.

He claimed and seemed to be Spirit led, but eventually it became obvious that he was not. I came across him a year or so after he started working for false prophet Edir Macedo and he tried to excuse himself saying: "I'm working for Universal Church of God's Kingdom, but I don't agree with...

What you say makes sense, but I still don't have a sure opinion about the exact meaning of this portion of Scripture. But one thing is absolutely clear to me: Since the Council of Jerusalem (Acts 15)the Law of Moses is no longer in force. The Lord Jesus said: Not one jot or tittle will pass...

My friend gave away almost everything he had because he wanted "to follow Jesus". But he attempted to follow the wrong Jesus. We are to follow the resurrected Christ who spoke to us through Paul, not the earthly Jesus who preached the ultimate version of the Law of Moses to the Jews. In the...

Job 36:3 (NIV) I get my knowledge from afar; I will ascribe justice to my Maker.

I don't deserve anything, so if God has special mercy on me I'll be thankful for anything I am given in Heaven.

My friend was a by-the-book-Christian. He studied the Bible just like lawyers study a civil code, and this is putting the cart ahead of the ox. Christians must be primarily guided by the Holy Spirit and secondly by Scripture.
