A text without a context is a pretext for a proof text. In simple English, one is not understanding what the Bible says. No where does scripture say we will in this life be like Jesus.

There are two reasons. 1st historical the Jews have always kept themselves separate from what ever people they lived among. There religious, language and ritual hygiene rules isolated them and isolation made them suspect in their neighbours eyes and an easy scapegoat for any problems. 2nd. The...

Where have I said that. As Christian we have to work at living a Christ honouring life style, Paul wrote that when Jesus returns we will be changed in an instant, untill then we work with the holy spirit to prune those bad habits, at using the fruit of the spirit.

There's no magic involved in Christianity only trust in a great God as Jude says : 24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and...

Do a study on God's forgiveness in the bible. You will find it is always preceeded by repentance. Most of the new Testament assumes that there has been repentance and then we Must forgive. If someone is unable to repent because they have died, one can as you did forgive or simple do as Jesus...

Take a hard look at what is worrying you, is it particular things or just a general anxiety? How realistic are your fears? What can you do about those concerns? Is there anyone you can ta.k to about your anxities? If these don't help it's seek medical help from therapy and medication to...

We fear the unknow, we don't know what it is like to die, we fear the process of dying, will it be painful etc etc. Then we know that death is final, no respawning in this life. Those who have died we cannot speak to, or listen to. It is final. Yes as Christians we have the hope of a...

Two far simpler explanations. 1/ Jews through their dietary and marriage laws have always been a separate people, not integrated into society and as such have bee a object of suspicion, the obvious whipping boy for blame. 2/ it is spiritual. The devil hates them because they are special to God...

john3:16-18 said before he died yet totally relevent to those alife at that time as well as for those of us born after calvary. Not everyone will be saved.

Forgiveness in the bible ia Always preceded by repentance. 'If my people who are called by my name will turn from their wicked ways, humble themselves and pray. Then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land. or luke 17:3 if someone offends you, rebuke them, if they...

Interestingly Jesus prayed ' Father forgive them.' He did not say I forgive them. John3:16 is in the contex of belief, an unrepentant sinner does not believe and so is not forgiven and not saved. Please read acts 10:10 At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known...

You have misunderstood our relationship with satan and with Jesus. As non christians we were the devils slaves, as born again Christians we are Jesus's adopted brothers. Satan can do what he wants with nonchristians and while he can oppress and persecute Christians that is only as far as God...

Being tight fisted/mean is not on its own a disqualified. It is an indication of where there love really is.

John 10:18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.” Jesus died, but unlike us he gave his life and took it up again. We can die, but we cannot come to life again...
