If I may. At Matthew 5:23-24 Jesus is in fact speaking of the physical altar at the temple where Jews took their gifts -their sacrifices- to be offered. But the teaching carries over into Christianity regarding the Eucharist. If you approach the Eucharist and remember that you have something...

Cain did evil. He did not "do well": Gen 4:6 So the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? Gen 4:7 “If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.” No...

The European Union flag is actually the flag of the Virgin Mary. You can look that up if you like. As to computer chips being implanted in people being the mark of the Beast it could only be so if someone was required to fall down and worship an image of the Beast in order to get one. Now. If...

To love your enemies means to go good to those who wrong you in your personal life. It's also found in the old testament: Exo 23:5 “If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying under its burden, and you would refrain from helping it, you shall surely help him with it. If you read the...

I think what you're looking for is the difference between adultery and simple sexual immorality. Adultery has always been literally carved in stone. Adultery being sexual relations between a man and another man's wife. It was punishable by death in the old testament and carried over into...

Well, since they were the ones charged with spreading it throughout the world it's difficult to imagine that they didn't know what it was.

I believe in a literal second coming of Jesus Christ, but I don't know what it will look like. If I had to guess, it would look a lot like the difference between the old covenant and the new covenant.

Paul was entrusted to deliver the gospel to the uncircumcised, i.e., gentiles, while Peter delivered the gospel to the circumcized, the Jews. Note that it is the same gospel. All of the Apostles had both Jews and gentiles in the Churches they established.

In that context it means non-believers. It's not in any way an insult as in calling someone a dog. Jesus also used to same expression with the Caananite woman at Matt 15:26-28. The meaning is that children at the table shouldn't throw their bread to their pet animals. But anyways, the Didache...

It uses agricultural language of the time. Sheep are considered good and goats are considered bad. The good go one way while the bad go another. It says he will gather "all nations". That means everyone, Jews and gentiles alike. All of those who have done what he commanded will be allowed into...

Mat 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory...

I'm not sure what the choices are.
