A friend of mine did that (gave away almost everything he had) and then had to live off his friends. He quit a decent job (as an airline pilot) and ended up working as an executive pilot for Edir Macedo, the number one false prophet in South America.

CORRECTION: On the third line, from bottom to top, replace FIGURE OF SPEECH with HYPERBOLE. Thanks for your input, UWC! You're right, Jesus is preaching salvation by faith, for verse 40 reads: "For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal...

Read verses 25 and 26: 25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?” 26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Jesus was talking about salvation. Paul was not talking about...

Thanks for your input, UWC! You're right, Jesus is preaching salvation by faith, for verse 40 reads: "For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.” My focus, however, is on the differences...

Job 34:15 (NIV) All humanity would perish together and mankind would return to the dust.

From the Flood to the Babylonian Captivity The first mention of a Hebrew is in Genesis 14:13 where Abraham is identified as a "Hebrew" (Eevriy in Hebrew). In Exodus 2:6 Moses is identified as one of the "Hebrews" (Eevriym in Hebrew) and throughout the Hebrew Bible the children of Israel are...

Job 33:23 (NIV) Yet if there is an angel at their side, a messenger, one out of a thousand, sent to tell them how to be upright,

I agree!

Correct! The Old Covenant was in force during Jesus' earthly ministry and basically He expounded the Law of Moses to the Jews. Right! There are no contradictions. As I said, there are only differences. The point of my thread is to discuss who should we follow: The earthly Jesus or the risen...

I think an online church can be a true Christian assembly, but chances are slim. If you get to know any truly Christian online church, please let us know.

Job 32:19 (KJV) Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
