    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    I know it is somewhat of a shock to read or hear something that seems to be "off," but since you like to think outside of the box, it should not be too unsettling. God's spirit impregnated Mary, the mother of Yeshua. The child was born of woman and Yahweh. He was a human being with Yahweh's...

    What reason do people say you have to have faith in the bible?

    I may once again have not been clear. In order to understand what the bible tells us, we need to understand the change in word meanings. We need to view expressions with a Hebrew mindset. We need to understand the history of the term "covenant." We need to understand things that we common...

    What reason do people say you have to have faith in the bible?

    This is a very good topic. Of course, one's perception of the Bible has a lot to do with where they are in the maturing process of being a Christian. They acceptance scale of their faith will vary dramatically. My faith is in God (Yahweh) and His Son (Yeshua). God sent me to someone who...

    How to Effectively Study and Interpret of the Bible

    Interesting read: Miles Coverdale By the way, he didn't believe in the Trinity either.

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    Yes, Ziggy, one day it will no longer be a debatable issue. It is a significant leap to change from "born with the fullness of God's spirit" to "God reborn as a man." Therein lies the issue.

    How to Effectively Study and Interpret of the Bible

    While he was known for the Coverdale Bible, searching his history reveals his notoriety as well.

    How to Effectively Study and Interpret of the Bible

    My life as a student of scripture was not fruitful until I learned to do a few things you pointed out: "you must review and consider all of the filters that you are carrying around concerning your attitude, presuppositions, and your biases that stands between you and the word of God," "What...

    I hate myself, and hate being an atheist.

    The bible is not a history book. It is a revelation book teaching about God and His people. It is also a book about God's plan for the future of the Earth. While history is revealed in part (and archeology proves it accurate), this purpose is not a history text. Just was about DNA proves...

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    Yes, Yahweh saves us, and His Son was the sacrifice.

    I hate myself, and hate being an atheist.

    If there is "overwhelming evidence," I've never seen it. I think there are several missing links in that theory.

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    If we look honestly, God "spoke" this world into the one we read about in Genesis. Logos was not a person; it was God creating through his words. I think we miss the times where Yeshua said that everything He spoke was given to Him by His Father. That is HOW Yeshua became the Word. Nothing...

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    No, Jesus became the word of God. Before that, He existed only as God's plan for the New Covenant. Search "preexistence" in the Hebrew mindset. The faithful always considered Yahweh's prophecies and "already happened" even though it was yet to come. That is why Yeshua existed before Abraham.

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    I have no idea how to manage to discount the statement in 1st Corinthians then. Both statements cannot be true, and we cannot ignore either one. The truth is out there, and we should seek it. We are responsible for what we believe.

    Punctuation missing. When verses are in supposed conflict, address the translator's writing.

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    Proper Hermaneutics requires examination of sources. We live in a time where it is easier than it has ever been. Maybe we are in a period where those who are truly seeking the truth from God will do so.

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    It is the "as we are one" that alters my understanding. Too often that is used to mean something that I think was never intended. While on Earth, Jesus was not all-knowing. I would suppose that He now is. I also know that when the prophecy of His return happens, Jesus surrenders all His...

    How do you pronounce YHWH

    Old Covenant Jews have no confusion as to who Lord refers. I find it is New Covenant people who get confused.

    How do you pronounce YHWH

    Father's Name was written in the scriptures - but doesn't appear in New Testament translations. I have no reason to believe that His Son did not use His Name. The issue that we can't find it in our bibles is simply one more issue for which we make assumptions.

    Trump: I will give security, safety and jobs

    As the father and grandfather, I also defend my family. I see that as a responsibility to take seriously - more so because it takes about 15 minutes for law enforcement to arrive at my house.

    I hate myself, and hate being an atheist.

    You are where I have been. I would say that, instead of being atheist, I didn't think about God at all. Trying to find your way through this world in forums is a huge challenge. So much is dependent on our views of words and meanings without body language and facial expressions that we can...
