    What is your opinion? - The intended readership of Hebrews.

    That idea appears to fail in Acts 17:11 there we see both tradition and Magisterium of the non-Christian Jewish synagogues in Acts 17 - had already condemned the teaching of the Christians and declared both Christ and Paul to be heretical. "They studied the scriptures daily to SEE IF those...

    What is your opinion? - The intended readership of Hebrews.

    In the book of Acts both Jews and gentiles are in the synagogue for worship "every Sabbath" Acts 18:4 and in Acts 13 it is gentiles - not Jews - asking that more Gospel preaching be scheduled for them in the Synagogue "the next Sabbath"

    What is your opinion? - The intended readership of Hebrews.

    Heb 10 - writing to Hebrew Christians says of the animal sacrifice and offerings "He takes away the first to establish the second". Where the "second" is the High Priesthood of Christ and the blood of Christ as the atoning sacrifice - rather than animal blood. that is applicable to all...

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

    We all agree that the Bible speaks truth when it says "do not take God's name in vain" Ex 20:12 We all agree that complying with God's Word is not betrayal against God and trying to be saved by works. It is not confusing in the case of "do not take God's name in vain" It is also not confusing...

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

    Heb 4 quotes the Psalms saying that it was set as "TODAY" in David's day - referring to the day of salvation --- not referring to the 7th day Sabbath.

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

    The Creation Sabbath of Gen 2 is being used as a symbol of New Canaan - heaven, heavenly Canaan -- just as in Gal 4 Jersualem above "is our mother". Gal 4 24 This is allegorically speaking, for these women are two covenants: one proceeding from Mount Sinai bearing children who are to be slaves...

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

    Under the Ex 20 covenant it was a sin - to take God's name in vain. And it is STILL a sin to do that - even for you, even for any christian that you meet. So then read Eph 6:1-2 for the details Indeed under the Gen 2 Old Covenant of "obey and live" it would be sin. Under the Rom 3 Law that...

    What denominations believe in the Rapture?

    True about the SDA denomination. We teach (as a denomination) that there is a post-trib rapture to heaven. Then 1000 years in heaven- then a literal second Coming to Earth after the literal 1000 year millennium.

    What denominations believe in the Rapture?

    True of Dispensationalism - but not sure if it is also true of the rapture doctrine

    Pope Francis

    Here is a key point of agreement. No Christian - not even a Catholic Pope can contradict the Word of God and then claim that the Word of God loses and the Pope wins in that conflict.

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

    And yet it is "still sin" for even a Christian to "take God's name in vain" Predictive law (Passover) ends when the event it predicts happen. Prescriptive law remains - so for example Ex 20:7

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

    Heb 10:4-12 speaking of the laws for animal sacrifice and ceremonial offierings... "He takes away the first to establish the second" that ceremonial law of sacrifice and offerings was "taken away" at the cross - according to Heb 10. By contrast "there REMAINS therefore a SABBATH rest for the...

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    Dead to the condemnation of the Law - that is rightly given to those who "take god's name in vain" does not mean "it is now ok to take God's name in vain"

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    I am glad the Law of God is written in my heart under the Jer 31 New Covenant quoted in Heb 8. instead of being deleted. "the Saints - KEEP the Commandments of God AND Their faith in Jesus" Rev 14:12 -- where "the fIrst commandment with a promise - is Honor your father and mother" Eph 6:1-2...

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    1 Pet 1: 10 As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries, 11 seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow. Heb...

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    God says in Heb 10 that animal blood never forgave anyone of anything - it was always Christ. Rom 4 God says He "counts those things that are not as though they are" because He is not limited by time. He calls Abraham a "father of many nations" when as yet he had no children. gentiles are in...

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    Moses and Aaron were priests and they healed people imagining a text in the OT where priests are told not to heal someone on Sabbath - is not the same as having such a text. That "once" tells us that the Sabbath was "made for mankind" rather than "made for the old testament" or "made for Jews"...

    BobRyan said: Matt 17 - both Moses and Elijah stand with Christ in glory - before the cross. Matt 17: Six days later Jesus *took with Him Peter and James and John his brother, and *led them up on a high mountain by themselves. 2 And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the...

    By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

    How so? Recall that under the Jer 31:31-34 the Law of God is written on the heart. Paul has Timothy circumcised immediately after the Jerusalem council in Acts 15. That was not to guarantee that Timothy forfeited salvation - as it turns out. In Acts 21 Paul takes steps to PROVE "walks...
