    Why I Think Christmas is Not Biblical (Please read OP before posting).

    You may observe what you will. But what practices you say arose in Christian communities were not there from the start. Christianity started without those. You would not be Jewish. But those who are Jewish are not excluded from being Christian, they may indeed become Christian and in spite of...

    How old is the earth?

    God created the first man, and he was called Adam, according to what is shown in the Bible. Why should any not believe that?

    WWJD Did Jesus Pray to Mary?

    The church built on the rock that Jesus Christ spoke of is the body of the believers who are in Jesus Christ with the truth of the gospel. All the body of the believers who are in him does not correspond to an organization such as what your church is. The church in the book of Acts does not...

    How old is the earth?

    I can accept the earth, within the universe, is much older than several thousand years, along with it. It would be while the earth was what the Bible says was formless, or as I understand it to mean, unformed. So as there was the creation week with six days of everything on this world being...

    God brings answers

    That night all in this group making a new small community here did not go to their beds of woven blankets hungry, but they still wanted more food than had been available to them that day. Yahweh came with a revelation to Hillariah again. She heard, "There are many creatures in the world you are...

    Blameless in the Law

    I don't have to add to what scripture passages say for what I believe with my faith. The only effective covering for sins is the atonement we have from Jesus Christ, and that is it. I don't believe in sacrifices where they are not stated.

    Jesus claimed He came to fulfill the Law, Did He?

    Taking the position that only the elect are saved, something we really have no way of verifying by our experience, is something Calvinists do. The saved are secure, those falling away from Christianity that they claimed for themselves did not actually have repentant faith. Election in the Bible...

    Paul vs James who is right?

    I would not have thought of that description, but there are certainly the encouragements for faith and not fearing, and the warning against faithlessness and falling to more sin in rebellion to God. That is what sin is. When we think sin is hard to avoid, remember, it is rebellion to God. It is...

    ARE ALL THE 10 COMMANDMENTS IN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT?

    But I have told you. There is salvation just through Christ, and this with repentant faith to be restored to God. There are rules here to not even accuse others of not believing that, other than them saying that of themselves, then they do not belong here. And, no one is losing their salvation...

    Jesus claimed He came to fulfill the Law, Did He?

    I see... You then have a Calvinist position. That is another topic though. Christ was indeed the only effective sacrifice for anyone.

    ARE ALL THE 10 COMMANDMENTS IN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT?

    I don't know! I'll be as clear as is possible and maybe you will get it. I don't know if there is really a lake of fire. Mention of such is in a book full of symbols. But I was clear, over and over, that salvation is in Christ. You don't have any righteousness of your own, no one does, to just...

    YAHUAH

    Consider John 17:6. Jesus spoke in prayer to the Father in Heaven. "I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me." It is best understood the people descended from Israel had forgotten it with not speaking the name of...

    It is permissive for Christians to eat meat today

    No, it is not clear he did. You are reading something compromising it. You are not persuasive. Text was altered, I am not persuaded by the claim that Jesus ate fish, from the one passage where honeycomb was edited out, Jesus only said to eat it, proving he was alive, and as I cannot believe it...

    Dealing with the day after

    The long rain had really drenched this area of the settlement. There were firmer spots in many places, especially around the wall surrounding all the plants they hoped would still grow, where the underearthworm had been, but had burrowed again later in that day. But there were many places left...

    ARE ALL THE 10 COMMANDMENTS IN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT?

    Making a personal dig? You just were speaking to include me as a big deceiver. That is a personal remark. Don't do that. Stay on topic? You were the one going on about getting thrown in the lake of fire. I was giving you a full answer, and straight enough. I do not consider that some can't...
