I think that I should break off from posting at this forum site. I am not finding communication that I would really want to. I figured out that I owe the explanation rather than just disappearing from here. I want to acknowledge those who communicated with kindness each time they posted a...

My original post in this thread was on the topic. When someone responds to my communication to single out one thing to criticize that it was wrong, I am right to respond to that showing I wasn't wrong, which I actually wasn't. I don't need to start a different thread, for that, and I am not...

I think there is lack of biblical support for that position. I find the biblical basis that Yahweh is love and cares for all, as the Creator. The premise of ethnic groups continuing in eternity is flawed, though. We who are redeemed will come to have a new identity. There is no basis to say the...

See what many don't see and miss passages for it being shown, that my conscience is not wrong, and God's compassion is greater, God cares for the creatures of God's creation...

This account is mentioned in Luke 22:8, Matthew 26:17, and Mark 14:12 and it is describing for a Gentile audience the Jewish custom that involves slaughtering a lamb. The passage does not, however, mention a lamb being slaughtered by the disciples or eaten by Jesus or any of the disciples...

If there is doctrine shown in Psalms I think there is requirement of another passage for enough witness to the doctrine. I would not think of concluding twenty years is the age of accountability from that so much as concluding God is gracious and knows who to leave as a remnant. I see how...

We should trust that God really has better things for us than sex.

I never had liked gap theories I heard. But gaps in genealogies in the Bible is a thing, that is demonstrable. So as history has gone so on so long I can believe that God's creation started hundreds or thousands of years before six thousand years ago.

You don't have to talk with me that way saying I don't have my facts straight. I am not a new believer and have read and studied from the Bible for many years. Those with that background do not all just agree about everything with each other. I would not have communicated what I show with just...

That is a relevant point that something 6000 years old is pretty old, it is still understandable to call the earth that is thousands of years old but not hundreds of thousands or millions or thousands of millions of years old young relative to the earth of those greater ages, which is claimed...

The church is yet not the same as it has been earlier. There were changes. The earliest church of all believers consisted of many who were familiar with Yeshua in person as his followers. It was a body of Hebraic believers, they were all Jewish and had their Jewish observances. Yeshua brought...

I run into people online that won't use the name "Jesus" because according to what they claim it is a pagan meaning, and they insist on using their Hebrew name for him, which often is not even "Yeshua", which it really would have been, but their alternate way of saying it, which those saying it...

I get told that the apocrypha is scripture even if I don't believe it is, when I ask why, I am just told "There’s a lot of convincing reasons." Here I find fallacious appeal to authority, and not anything else. Is that all there is for a lot of convincing reasons?

Okay... But why?

The way to understand such things in the book of Revelation is to recognize it is full of symbolism representing true things. We might see it right away from early on in it with first reading it. Who are the seven spirits of God? If we say it is the Holy Spirit, there is only that Spirit of God...
