    The deconstructing of the law in the New Testament

    Well, brothers, if Yeshua was "born under the law," He was a sinner. Please consider that before you declare that the comma mentioned actually belongs there. Breaking the Sabbath, not obedient to His parents and staying in Jerusalem when they headed back to Nazareth, teaching others to see the...

    The deconstructing of the law in the New Testament

    It means that someone, at a time in the past, inserted a comma after "woman." Is 42:6–96 “I am Yahweh; I have called you in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you; I will give you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations, to open the eyes that are blind, to...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    Thanks for this response. I still dive deep into scripture to learn what Yahweh confirms for me. Some things, He has not confirmed, so they remain questionable for me. But the two commandments that His Son gave are the kernel from which I work to grow. Typically, those who accept what their...

    The deconstructing of the law in the New Testament

    It is not the obvious answer unless one believes that Yeshua was born under "the law."

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    At one time, I was taught in Seminary. Since then, I have learned to instead be taught by Yahweh how to understand the scriptures. I was a process for me, and I did not expect it. I thought I understood. Well, I did. I understood what man taught, but I had not searched the scriptures. Once I...

    The deconstructing of the law in the New Testament

    No, as we are following the words of God's son who established the New Covenant. We are not to seek eternal life by following the Ten Commandments of the old one.

    I hate myself, and hate being an atheist.

    Life can be very difficult for someone who wants to "judge God" by His works. I have to remind myself quite often that my mind cannot comprehend Yahweh's intents and plans. I'm like a 1985 PC with only 16k of ram trying to judge a new gaming computer today. Faith comes when I allow myself to...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    People choose to believe the things they have heard from people they trusted. The error was made when the choice of who to trust was made. The second error was in not searching for truth beyond what we were taught.

    How do you pronounce YHWH

    Accuracy in using clearly identifying the person who is being discussed ensures that people will not be confused. Generic names like "Lord" leaves an open door to misunderstand - and it helps to keep people not understanding.

    Driving electric car causes more pollution than a gasoline car

    A lie is as good as the truth if people believe it. The more often we hear the lie, the more people will accept it.

    Could Jesus have sinned?

    We can all consider any banned topic anywhere as evidence that the topic fears being discovered as defenseless. Strange but true, we rely on Yahweh for truth - not the local church. We have scripture, but few people dwell on what is written to then use comparisons to let scripture reveal itself...

    The NT manuscripts are full of mistakes

    One day, people should discover than man has manipulated the scriptures to justify their own doctrines. The truth can still be found, but not from man. We have to prayerfully seek the Truth from God. Most of the people I know do not seek it from God. Strangely, for no understood reason, they...

    Could Jesus have sinned?

    If we assume that the temptations given to Christ Yeshua would have resulted in sin, then we ignore the statement that He was born with the fullness of the Spirit of God. The temptations are not to demonstrate his suffering and temptation to sin, but to illustrate the difference between having...

    Why I Would Not Like Jesus

    I thought I presented this similar answer in post #2, but it didn't take. I hope your longer post gets through.

    The debate... Trump and Harris

    There were no moderators according to the reports I have seen. There were, however, referees who were paid to protect Kamala.

    I hate myself, and hate being an atheist.

    Just to repeat myself because I see the futility in this thread: a conversation that would find a resolution would require a face-to-face discussion with someone who knows the answers to your questions. A thread is not a format for a true life-changing conversation. Too many facets of...

    Why I Would Not Like Jesus

    After years of improper Bible examination, I discovered that my assumed position as a Christian did not automatically make my understanding correct. After studying, I asked God to validate or correct my understanding. I learned to wait on Him. When He gave me correction/validation, I didn't...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    So, does this passage affect your view on the ignorance of Jesus when He spoke? John 12:49 For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak.

    Perceptual Reality and Spiritual Understanding

    In answer to your questions - 1) My spiritual understanding often alters my personal perceptions. It causes me to evaluate what I think I see. 2) I enjoy hearing other's views of events that I have seen - especially if they are willing to discuss them. 3) I get to witness personal miracles...

    Why I Would Not Like Jesus

    Interesting to me that you are discussing "bread." The scriptures do not indicate that Jesus was talking about bread but about leaven. It was the disciples who equated "leaven" with "loaves" which gets translated to bread in some bibles. While Jesus specifically was talking about the...
