    Was Mary sinless?

    You can't know that there were very few first-century Jews who were Nazirites, especially when Jewish people are heavily into traditions. It's possible that Joseph was a Nazirite, and if he was, whether or not you believe that Nazirite vows included celibacy, at the very least it meant he...

    Was Mary sinless?

    After the angel, Gabriel, announced to Mary God's will for Her to bear a Son, and before he explained it'd occur by and with the Holy Spirit (God), Mary asked him how that would happen when She is a virgin. At the time Mary gave that response, She was already betrothed to Joseph, and if She had...

    Was Mary sinless?

    Yes, you did, you said, "The verses clearly state that they were Jesus' siblings." However, no, they don't, and to prove it, I told you to quote those verses in its original language, as well as in English, and see for yourself, but you refused because you know the word "sibling" isn't used.

    Was Mary sinless?

    I said "abandoned for a time." Jesus was abandoned for a time, which is why He said He was abandoned by the Father.

    What is the difference between a Jew and a Christian?

    It seems wrong to deny Christians the ability to discuss any aspect of their religion that contributed to their wanting to be a Christian in the first place. My understanding of the mod's reasons for banning discussion of the Holy Trinity is to prevent uncivil discourse. However, when the early...

    What is the difference between a Jew and a Christian?

    Thank you. I will stop discussing it. I don't agree with the policy either.

    What is the difference between a Jew and a Christian?

    Again, you are correct that there's one God, I agree. I'm talking about the one God's triniform nature and single unity (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit), which, again, doesn't mean three gods. There being one God with a triniform nature and single unity is in the Hebrew Scriptures...

    What is the difference between a Jew and a Christian?

    You won't find the name "Jesus" in the Hebrew Bible, but you'll find the name of God which is Who He is, which is why I disagree that He hasn't been heard of before. You are correct, I agree. What you really disagree with, without realizing, is that there's one God with a triniform nature and...

    The messiah didn't come yet.

    Just reference one messianic prophecy for me. Any one you'd like. No need for commentary.

    What is the difference between a Jew and a Christian?

    I don't agree. So, you believe the stories and people in the four Gospels are fiction?

    The messiah didn't come yet.

    How did Jesus not fulfill the messianic prophecies? Pick any one(s) you'd like to reference.

    What is the difference between a Jew and a Christian?

    Here's evidence that there is one God with a triniform nature and a single unity: "Then Jesus arrived from Galilee at the Jordan, coming to John to be baptized ... After He was baptized, Jesus (the Son) came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the...

    Was Mary sinless?

    No, it isn't per God. I didn't say they were caused by Faith. I said they occur where there is Faith. Before Jesus administered a miracle to someone he either required them to have sincere Faith, or administered a miracle when it would lead them to Faith. Then ask for His help. He generally...

    Was Mary sinless?

    According to who? Not God. And miracles occur where there is faith. God saying His Word is eternal means what He says, including "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you," applies now and forever. How was Jesus (God Incarnate) not a human?

    Was Mary sinless?

    God saying His Word is eternal means what He says, including "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you," applies even now. Jesus says to love our neighbor, including enemies. You know this. You've read it. You may want to disobey by not doing that, but I don't. God didn't what?

    Was Mary sinless?

    Yes, you did, because you said, "The verses clearly state that they were Jesus' siblings." However, no, they don't, and to prove it, I told you to quote those verses in its original language, as well as in English, and see for yourself, but you refused because you know the word "sibling" isn't used.

    I'm not surprised you refuse to publicly quote Scripture in the original language and in its English translation, because you know the word "siblings" isn't used in either language.

    Was Mary sinless?

    God says, "...My words will not pass away" (Matt. 24:35), and therefore He says even now and forever, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" (Matt. 5:44). I do. If I want to obey God, I'm to love and pray for everyone. I asked you a question: God says that the virtues of...
