    Stuff in the bible that seems to make no sense

    Jesus had both a divine and a human nature. Most of the time He was subject to physical limitations just as other human beings. Were it no so His sacrifice on the cross would have no value.

    Why does God use humans?

    Yes, the story is really amazing and the girl's dad is completely trustworthy. When I have the slightest doubt I keep the story to myself. I hear many wonderful testimonies in my church, but I almost never pass them on.

    Why does God use humans?

    This reminds me of one of God's creation -- an ex co-worker of mine -- and how he was used by the Father. This guy told me the whole story with details, but I'm gonna make it short: He had been serving his own flesh for decades when he was found by God, but his wife rejected the Good News of...

    Why does God use humans?

    And yet Pharaoh's heart remained hardened ..... and when Jesus appears again it will be too late. Praise God we have already been found by Him!

    Why does God use humans?

    No, just a few people saw it! What I mean is God using clouds in the sky to send messages to people in big cities. For example, in Rio de Janeiro in the heat of Carnival: BE GONE FROM THIS ABOMINABLE FESTIVAL AND FOLLOW MY SON JESUS.

    Why does God use humans?

    Because that would be like using clouds to write JESUS IS LORD, FOLLOW HIM in the clear sky. It would be too obvious that Jesus is the son of God -- the father wants us to depend on faith.

    Knowing about Esperanto is already a great thing. The great majority of people don't even know that it is the name of a language. My wife -- just like many CC members -- frowns on this "before-the-cross vs. after-the-cross" thing and yet we live in harmony and worship the same God. Let us all...

    You're right! I don't have a good command of English. I suggest you learn Esperanto and then we'll be on an equal footing. The language is very easy -- I became fluent in it in less than a year. Esperanto: A fair international language From: Translation Bureau Posted: November 19, 2018...

    Following Paul To Follow Christ

    I don't claim to have wisdom, but I can assure you that I always do my best to answer questions objectively without qualifying them as "ridiculous" when I get cornered. JaumeJ said: All who have not taken up Christ's invitation to learn from Him directly have always come to me with this...

    This is not a statement, it is a question, and you must read some of the previous posts to see why I am asking it.

    Following Paul To Follow Christ

    Now the Lord Jesus has already been glorified and therefore His teaching about offering sacrifices no longer applies, right?

    Following Paul To Follow Christ

    My question is not an insult and is not ridiculous. You say there is no sacrifice we may offer our Father other than thanksgiving, but Jesus told the man cured from leprosy: show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifice prescribed by Moses” . Why are you contradicting Jesus? I'm sorry...

    The Lord Jesus didn't say the Jews would be made perfect, He just said "Be perfect!"; this is imperative mode.

    Do you offer sacrifices according to the law of Moses?

    Following Paul To Follow Christ

    Right, He is the eternal teacher. When He was on earth He gave us eternal principles, expounded the law of Moses and taught what would be necessary for salvation through this same law. For example: "Be perfect ". Since it is impossible for a human being to become perfect, the Lord had to die on...

    Following Paul To Follow Christ

    All Scripture is written for us to read, but not all commandments are for everyone to obey. The distinction between teachings of Jesus before the cross, and teachings of Christ after the cross can be used both for good or for evil. For example: "Be perfect as your heavenly father is perfect"...

    Following Paul To Follow Christ

    In the 7 letters to the 7 churches the risen Christ is using another spokesman: John. You're right! Paul is not the exclusive spokesman of Christ, but he is the chief one. Apart from the writings of Paul we must read the epistles of John, Peter, James, Jude and the one to the Hebrews. What I...
