We all know that all the first Christians were Jews.

I’m not entirely sure what you mean, yet it’s widely acknowledged that following Cornelius, the barriers separating Jewish and Gentile Christians ceased to exist. Historically, it’s evident that the count of Jews converting to Christianity was on the decline; at the same time, the message of...

You can't be Christian without the Bible.

Perhaps these words of Jesus can help you better understand this particular case: John 5:39 “You are searching the Scriptures because you think that you will have everlasting life by means of them; and these are the very ones that bear witness about me. 40 And yet you do not want to come to me...

I think one cannot really know what is good if one do not practice it. A person can only offer what he has, talk about what he knows, and do what he think is better to himself. A psychology professor I know used to say that if the patient continued to engage in self-harming acts, it was...

NO. If an individual lacks interest in any form of "spirituality," that won't happen. And vice versa: A person with the right mindset will naturally gravitate towards a spiritual path.

In my opinion, during that period, an individual needed to rely on the guidance of an external figure: the prophet who communicated on behalf of Jehovah. Interesting topic, BTW.

Mmmh, I don't think so. Nothing you write is inspired, nothing you say is. Same about myself. You think you don't need the Scriptures. Interesting. All Christians consider the Bible the word of God. Are you a Mormon, a Bahai, a Muslim? Not judging, just curious.

This is basic knowledge all Christians have: Rom. 15:4 For all the things that were written aforetime were written for our instruction, that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope. You may need some basic instruction.

You may not be able to see God, yet you can certainly explore His written word, should you choose to do so. It seems that many individuals here share this perspective. Have you paused to reflect that you might be erring in your assessment?

Any proof of that? Jesus said: John 17:3 This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. knowledge --:> everlasting life I always thought people act according to what they think. Do you think differently?

A person who does not know, for example, the personality of God, would not understand why although some people were healed of their illness like the Syrian Naaman, the apostle Paul was not healed of what he asked God to take away... or why David, who had committed adultery, was forgiven, when...

My shortest possible answer is this: to be "spiritually correct" you must first be "scripturally correct" ... unless you mean something different with those two phrases than what I perceive.

Exaggerations. It seems that YOU do not like to follow the instructions of the holy spirit that we received through the anointed ones of the first century.

I have never heard a Christian say that we should obey Paul. It is like saying that the Jews obeyed Moses when they followed the Law.

I agree. That is a mechanistic approach, relying solely on the decontextualization of texts. Such a form of biblical interpretation is materialistic, dialectical and purely intellectual, akin to terms like "carnal". Relying exclusively on this approach will prevent us from achieving a true...

Yes. Acts 1:6 So when they had assembled, they asked him: “Lord, are you restoring the kingdom to Israel at this time?” 7 He said to them: “It does not belong to you to know the times or seasons that the Father has placed in his own jurisdiction. 8 But you will receive power when the holy...

I agree with that. The internet is inundated with numerous efforts aimed at undermining the credibility of the Scriptures. At the core of these endeavors lies a singular force orchestrating these actions. The Devil seeks to obliterate the sole substantial source that provides Christians with...

Who believes that? Aren't you the one who thinks others believe that?

Again: If John intended his letters for carnal Israel, why is there not a single direct quote from the Hebrew Scriptures included? I believe this strongly suggests that your perspective is mistaken: John addressed all the Christians of his time across all Christian congregations... which...
