    Israel during the Great Tribulation

    Just curious, where exactly does the bible suggest that the anti-Christ will be assassinated? You come-up with some pretty wild theories, but I can find no biblical confirmation to support what you think. I think your making it a lot more complicated than it actually is.

    Is all of the law of Moses finished?

    Most all the statutes concerning the Levitical priesthood, Temple rituals, and blood ordinances were fulfilled in Christ and are no longer applicable or necessary. The 10 commandments are still in effect and apply under the New Covenant. When Jesus said "Keep my commandments", I believe this...

    Sunni and Shi'ite

    I'd agree, Jesus didn't bring religion into the world, he brought salvation. Religion was already here and doing a pretty good job of misconstruing scriptures to suit themselves. Christianity to me is a way of life, a reality for believers that's geared toward following the example Christ set...

    The Godhead

    Yes, one God... Imo, the trinity or tri-unity just describes the 3 attributes of a single Godhead, the 3 work and have always existed as one entity. Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Elohiym used here is the plural form of God. Therefore, as scripture was...

    Why Do Christians Not Honor The Sabbath?

    I personally don't believe the verses in Matthew 24 are in reference to the fall of Jerusalem in 70AD, but are describing the end time tribulation. In verse 3, you get the subject matter; "the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the...

    Why Do Christians Not Honor The Sabbath?

    The forth commandment was not nullified or invalidated by Christ, it remains as do all the commandments. But now, our only true Sabbath rest is found by faith in the Lord. The Old Testament Sabbath was based on a works covenant "a sign between God and the children of Israel" (Exodus 31:17)...

    Why Do Christians Not Honor The Sabbath?

    So your saying Jesus was not Lord of the Sabbath? Sounds like you just want another day off of work to worship Saturdays :) I disagree.. Do you find rest on Saturdays or in Christ? God didn't get exhausted after 6 days of creation. The Sabbath was never about a specific day or a time set aside...

    Why Do Christians Not Honor The Sabbath?

    What or who is the Sabbath? Jesus said that he was Lord of the Sabbath (Matthew 12:8). So imo, when we remember him, we keep the Sabbath..... everyday. Nothing complicated about it :)

    Is there opportunity to repent after death?

    I believe everyone will have an opportunity to accept Christ as their Savior. Jesus already took this message of repentance to the lost souls imprisoned in sin (1 Peter 3:19). This wasn't a second chance for them, but a first opportunity to accept salvation. I also believe that the Day of the...

    Can you talk to dead people?

    Those verses in Peter refer to Christ taking the gospel message of salvation to all who previously perished in sin from the beginning. They were offered the same opportunity as us, to repent and accept Christ. Paradise is not heaven, its where the saved wait for judgement (reward)...

    Can you talk to dead people?

    When you die, you await judgement day in Paradise or Hades. No one has gone to heaven or hell yet. And imo, you cannot talk to the dead because................well because they're dead and can't hear you anymore! Actually, I guess you can talk to them, but don't expect an answer :)

    Depressed, Angry, Hopeless, bored, Bored, Bored, No Friends. Nothing.

    I've found that the best advice for me to offer is that you give up. It's not how it sounds; the idea is for you to stop wishing for what you don't have, so that you might focus instead on what's currently within reach. Build something, find a goal, or become a part of something you can be proud...

    Dont celebrate Christmas...wake up!!

    Your second question in the poll is not phrased very well; "should you keep the tradition or stay away from the xmas." An affirmative answer could mean 'yes, keep the tradition' or it could mean 'yes, stay away from Christmas', and vice-versa.

    EASTER?

    I personally believe Christ was crucified on Wednesday and place in the tomb before sunset. Its a little confusing, but there were 2 Sabbaths, the regular weekly (Saturday) Sabbath and the High Sabbath. Christ rose early Sunday, but it was before 6:00 AM, making it still the Hebrew Sabbath Day...

    Wives submit to your husbands

    God asked Adam, "Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat" (Genesis 3:12) It seems on occasion, men also blame women :)

    Which temple does he stand in claiming to be God?

    Good point... Paul wrote both passages, which would seem to indicate that the temple will not be a building, but is representative of a position the anti-christ will hold, meaning he'll sit as the head of the church.

    There is flood coming

    I think the end-day flood is misinformation. The flood is symbolic for the deception coming out of the serpents mouth, and not a literal flood of water. JMO

    Who really killed Jesus?

    Christ was sacrificed for the redemption of sin, and since we are all sinners, he died for us. But we did not kill Jesus, his death defeated sin, so that those who believe in him might have life. His followers did not crucify him, it was those who rejected him that cried for his crucifixion.

    Drinking Blood

    The wine is symbolic of the blood of Christ, and the bread his body. No one literally drinks blood, it is simply representative of the new covenant, and is done in remembrance that Christians are washed from sin by his sacrifice. (Mark14:22-24)

    Adam: created perfect?

    Agreed, God created everything good, but only humans had the choice to deviate from good and commit sin.
