Jesus says; Mark 12: 29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor...

There are certain things that are fact and others assumptions / theories etc... The bible does have some inconsistences but the intention may be metaphorical. Such as a Q I have just seen on another site Proverbs 6-8 6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! 7 It has no...

You should never stop learning and questioning as that will make you a stronger person. Science cannot contradict God - just need to clarify if something is a 'Theory' which means opinion or an assumption and 'fact' which there is no doubt. Having said that the bible was not written in a...

I totally agree with what you say – but the point is, your opinion on what’s right and wrong is based on information given / written / guidance – not instinctively, we have learnt and made a choice of how to live and act. A non-religious / pagan etc… person may instinctively believe...

And whats God's word & who's right and wrong?

What - so which one is right - the ones that say you can be gay and Christian or the ones that say you cannot be gay and Christians?

Nope - Jesus condemned the pharisees so exceeding them is not impossible - they were far from perfect - again how can you be righteous if we don’t know what is right and wrong – clearly we have different interpretations

Psalm 22:17 (Hebrew text) כִּ֥י סְבָב֗וּנִי כְּלָ֫בִ֥ים עֲדַ֣ת מְ֭רֵעִים הִקִּיפ֑וּנִי כָּ֝אֲרִ֗י יָדַ֥י וְרַגְלָֽי׃ Masoretic Text כָּ֝אֲרִ֗י kā-’ă-rî, P22:17 17 For dogs have encompassed me; a company of evil-doers have inclosed me; like a lion, they are at my hands and my feet.

How can one be righteous / exceed if there is no right or wrong (no law) or its irrelevant? “For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.” Matthew 5:20

Not sure about that and I rather not just guess, these things are too important - but please let me know if you find one!

Noted: But how can any one sin if there is no rules / guidance on what is right and wrong?

Yes arguable - but the same word is translated as 'lion' in other passages – Isaiah 38: 13 I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me. Psalms 22:21 reads Save me from the mouth of the lion! You have rescued me...

I’ve tried to look - but not sure I found the right post - yes Jesus from lineage Abraham, David etc... How would you counter an argument raised that there is no Hebrew word ‘pierce’ as ‘Kaari’ means ‘like a lion’ hence translate as - Ps 22:16 "For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the...

Not really trying to clear matter - i leave you to your opinion

sin is disobedience to Gods command - you cannot be unrighteous unless you know what is & is not righteous (right or wrong) - that comes from Gods commands which are law.

the Revelations passages I quoted as 'figuratively' - nope - how can you have sin if you have no law?

'fulfilment of prophecy' - I presume you would be talking about OT - would be helpful insight to quote the important OT passages you allude to? This I presume would be talking about the same thing - 1 Cor 15:4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,

no I dont do you?

Again you don’t read well - I didn’t say Abraham was an Israelite, I said he was not a jew - Jew came from the tribe of Judah dont need to reply at all

As usual no reply to the actual discussion / simple Q - Based on REV is fornication or eating things sacrificed unto idols allowed or not ?
