A despicable smear. I shall not join you in the gutter. Goodbye

Sr Hezbollah operates in Lebanon on the northern border of Israel not in the West Bank They rejected Jesus and have not changed from that rejection. They forfeited their land. Nothing in the Bible gives Israel the right to kill women and children and bomb hospitals and refugee camps. What...

No I don't And I didn't mention Hezbollah And who rejected God and lost their land as a result? In your opinion.

I think the basic problem is that both Palestinians and Israelis (at least the ultra orthodox) both claim the whole of Palestine "from the river to the sea". So as well as devastating Gaza, the Settlers on the West Bank (aided by the IDF) are driving out villagers from the West Bank and taking...

My impression is that Israel wanted to change the terms of the ceasefire agreement and Hamas refused.

That's a big topic, especially with SDAs but to go into it here would derail this thread.

As I understand it ethics are the secular version of morals; what is right or wrong in a particular situation. I think these are called eternal moral laws that are applicable to all peoples in all places throughout all time. These laws are written on our hearts and made known to us by our...

You don't. You just make stuff up I didn't dismiss it. I pointed out that Mathews gospel, which some claim was based on Mark's gospel, omitted it. And I addressed it. I pointed out that: First of all the Greek word translated as family or friends in MK 3:21 means, according to Strong 3844...

Maybe? Just pure speculation. More speculataion He isn't obviously doing anything of the sort. That's just your invention Just admit it. You interpret the Bible through your personal lens of anti-Catholicism in order to justify your false teaching.

I disagree that there was anything negative about Jesus' words First of all the Greek word translated as family or friends in MK 3:21 means, according to Strong 3844 "beside, near, from, in the presence of, with, by". The footnote in the NIV says "associates". Secondly Matthews version of the...

Devotion to Mary began in the early centuries after Jesus' death. Satan is clearly identifies as the dragon Jesus is clearly identified as the child "who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron.” a reference to psalm 2:9 Mary is clearly identified as the woman who brought forth that male...

It's Stephen I've covered this already: As I have already shown, those in heaven are aware of what is happening on earth Lk 15:7 & 10, Rev 6:10 and Heb 12:1 The "bowls of prayer" don't "come up to God", they are being presented to God. The 24 elders represent the 12 tribes Of Israel of the...

It's the other way round - a woman (Mary) symbolising the Old Testament people and The Church. We can see that she is primarily Mary because: a) woman is identified as giving birth to a son, “a male child, destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod”– reference to Psalm 2:9 & Rev 11:15...

Those on heaven are aware of what is happening on earth. "I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance".(Lk 15:7) They know someone on earth has repented and they are rejoicing. The point is they know...
