    Where does the Bible mention the Bar Mitzvah?

    “The Jewish coming-of-age ceremony of bar mitzvah was first recorded in thirteenth-century France, where it took the form of a simple statement by the father that he was no longer responsible for his thirteen-year-old son. Today, bar mitzvah for boys and bat mitzvah for girls are more popular...

    Relative To Luke 16:19-31

    I heard an excellent exposition on the subject that made a strong case that much confusion arises from the decision of the KJV to translate multiple different words into the same English word “Hell”. By following the original words, much confusion can be avoided. In the OT there are two places...

    Was Phinehas running past tents in the past tense?

    Not as far as I can tell (search for “Phinehas”): [Exo 6:25 NKJV] 25 Eleazar, Aaron's son, took for himself one of the daughters of Putiel as wife; and she bore him Phinehas. These [are] the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites according to their families. [Num 25:7, 11 NKJV] 7 Now when...

    Church... A word of pagan origin -

    Just FYI for anyone interested … the link in the OP doesn’t work for me (I get a server connection error message). If it is not “just me”, then the blog may no longer be available and it may be impossible to “discuss it” (If we can’t read it).

    What do you think about the location of Mt Sinai?

    I agree with “Got Questions”: “So, where is the real Mount Sinai? No one can say for sure. Scholars differ widely on proposed sites. What happened at Sinai changed the world; exactly where it happened is of small consequence.”

    Church... A word of pagan origin -

    From this logic, flows the conclusion that we should probably discard the OT and NT Letters from general usage. All we need are the “red letters”. The Apostles wrote a great deal about order and submission and building up one another within the “ecclesia”. We are the “ASSEMBLY”, the local...

    Is freewill biblical or something we invented as society ?

    Let me see if I understand … unless a crack addict has the ability to choose to stop being addicted to crack at any time without outside intervention (by his own free will), he cannot be a crack addict. In the same way that unless a sin addict (fallen man) has the ability to choose to stop being...

    Daniel 4

    @Andrew Why is it that no matter WHAT verse is being discussed in any topic, you want to refocus the discussion on another verse in another book? Is Daniel 4 not worth discussing? Do you have some OTHER agenda? (No thank you. I pass on jumping over to Matthew 25, however feel free to exegete...

    Daniel 4

    Daniel Explains the Second Dream 19 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonished for a time, and his thoughts troubled him. So the king spoke, and said, “Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation trouble you.” Belteshazzar answered and said, “My lord, may the dream...

    Should Psalms be used to support doctrine?

    Not certain that it is a singular verse, but is a singular example of twisting meaning by plucking part of a verse from context and mutilating it with bad “exegesis”. [1 Peter 2:24 KJV] 24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto...

    Should Psalms be used to support doctrine?

    And for that EXACT reason I tread very lightly when discussing my “opinion” on eschatology as if it were “fact”. (although technically, it is mentioned 6 times in the first 7 verses of Revelation 20, so that is more than a single verse). ;)

    Why does the book of Revelation say that you can anoint your eyes with medicine to cure blindness?

    Really. Nathan does, see … And you do say … And the Tobit quote that everyone is talking about you listed as … So does Tobit say that “almsgiving will purge away every sin” or not? (Just as I claimed it did, and you assure me you never said.)

    Why does the book of Revelation say that you can anoint your eyes with medicine to cure blindness?

    An underwhelming exegesis of 1 Peter 4 and it’s use of “agape”. Whatever. Huddle with Tobit and read about giving cash to the poor to buy forgiveness from God if that’s your thing. I will pass.

    A Fair Trial On Judgment Day?

    A nonsensical question. You are asking why those not saved cannot be sanctified. However, “You will say to me, therefore, "Why then does he still find fault? For who can resist his will? But who are you, a mere man, to talk back to God? Will what is formed say to the one who formed it, "Why...

    A Fair Trial On Judgment Day?

    Yes. Nobody is judged based on what God has done or not done. You are judged for what you have done. Imagine a murderer claiming the defense that “The Police didn’t stop me from shooting those people, so I am not guilty”.

    Should Psalms be used to support doctrine?

    I get nervous any time someone suggests an important TRUTH that is based exclusively on a singe verse (or worse, part of a verse) and cannot be confirmed by both the surrounding context and other parts of scripture. I prefer at least 3 “witnesses” for anything important and if God said it 3...

    Why does the book of Revelation say that you can anoint your eyes with medicine to cure blindness?

    Clap, clap, clap. Beautiful irrelevant speech. Now as a Moderator, why don’t you explain the correct meaning of 1 Peter 4 to your errant brother (NathanH83) that is redefining “agape” as giving money so our sins will be forgiven … (unless you also believe that is what 1 Peter 4 is saying)...

    Why does the book of Revelation say that you can anoint your eyes with medicine to cure blindness?

    The comment has nothing to do with Tobit … in post #181 he is teaching lies about what Peter wrote: “agape” is not “alms-giving”. That is a deliberate misuse of scripture to teach the buying of forgiveness. That is the action of a HERETIC. He joins the ranks of Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons...
