Many of the Middle East nations whom the Exodus group vanquished were conducting human sacrifices, enslaving their neighbors, and committing other atrocities. The Lord also allowed the Conquistadors to conquer and enslave the indigenous peoples of Central and South America, who were also...

When someone brings two, three, or more scriptures that corroborate each other and provide a clear picture to the meaning of something, you then have the Word divided rightly, as had the Bereans, who regularly studied the scriptures. In contrast, the Jews Paul earlier encountered in...

Treat them as if you were treating yourself.

Let's look at the people of the Exodus at the time. They were the Egyptians slave class, mostly uneducated and riotous. Until "Thou shalt not kill", they had no compunction not to kill. Two men fighting would often lead to the others serious injury, if not death. For anyone then to intervene...

To grab the man by his private parts may indicate the woman being fully aware of her incapacitating the man, thereby giving her husband the advantage over his adversary. Unfair to say the least.

When Eternal life is promised to those who believe on Christ, Eternal life means from the beginning of time. There is reference to Melchizedek with no beginning and no end to which order the Lord Jesus and others belong to. There is reference in Job to all the sons of God shouting for joy upon...

Jesus preached love, peace, truth, all of which was despicable to the Pharisees ears. When someone then comes here asking whether we are to love one another, and gets blasted by numerous individuals, some of whom even claim him having another spirit than that from God, I then recognize a lot of...

The Pharisees also called the Holy Spirit within Jesus an unholy spirit.

The Pharisees also found the tone the Lord presented ugly to their ears. Malachi 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall...

It's amazing how some here respond with so much hatred towards someone who has not responded in kind to them. Yes, it is true, the saved will love you as Jesus loved them, while the condemned will not love you as Jesus loved them.

True. They who respond with love, respond through God's Spirit. They who respond with hate, respond through the spirit of Satan.

According to the Word, everyone will have to give account to every idle word they make. There will be a lot of crying and gnashing of teeth by they who thought they were justified. Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in...

In order for the Lords governance to increase continually on the earth, there would have to be a continual new supply of individuals, on the earth. There are also scriptures which state the saints will rule over the people with a rod of iron. Likewise, the saints who are given a certain amount...

There does seem to be a fine line between the two. Temptation is that leading to worldly pleasure/s, which we choose for ourselves. Testing is that where your choice of not going for this worlds pleasures results in a positive attribute.

Hebrews 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance...

The people of the Exodus were of the bronze age. They were mostly the uneducated slave class who ate whatever was presented in front of them. If not told how to prepare foods, there most certainly would have been many who would have consumed under cooked pork. Trichinosis, would then have resulted.

I wondered about that myself, and the Lord making the destroyer, and evil. What I have surmised from my comprehension of scriptures is that we all have the free will choice of which way we want to go. We can choose our carnal inclinations or our spiritual inclinations. When the Lord hardened...

For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them, means Christ is here among the true brethren inquiring about Him. Isn't twisting/wresting scriptures to mean something other than what is clearly stated wrong? 2 Peter 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these...

Welcome Evanson Ernest from Tanzania. Hope you find some friends here.

Yes, I do believe in the epistles and the book of Revelation. When the scripture says that Christ is there where two or three are gathered in His name, I believe it literally to be so. How I rectify this with the scripture that shows the sign of the Lord returning on the clouds of heaven with...
