    Why does Exodus 30 say that money atones for sins?

    Okay, so WHO gave that translation from Hebrew into English please? I don't think you understand what I'm asking. I'm asking for the ORIGINAL text first. Not English and then translating into Hebrew.

    Why does Exodus 30 say that money atones for sins?

    Like I asked in your other thread, please give us the word in the original language for "atonement" so we can go from there.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I have a pair of pants that are quick dry and they rustle. I think I got them either at Cabela's or one of those similar places. It has zippers to make it into capri pants or even shorts. Pretty cool.

    Is penance biblical?

    My husband is Catholic as was most of the town where I grew up...and penance most definitely was not on par to what Lutherans believed. It included EVERY TIME what I quoted above. It was never Lutheran in that we confess our sins and the priest stands in the stead of Christ and absolves and...

    What day of the week was it when God stopped caring about the Maccabees?

    You're assuming falsely that God was the one who initially put it in the bible.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    What kind of fabric is it? I have a long-sleeved UV shirt I'm wearing today and it's thin and useful when I have to do yard work for extended periods of times. I don't think it would wick away a lot of sweat though.

    Cause and Effect - Covid and Illegal Entry

    I was given a warning on another forum for "hate and intolerance" because I brought up the cause and effect suggestion about how the thousands of illegals coming in through Texas are bringing covid into our country. They are being bused into other states...the states that had high numbers most...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Doing some laundry this morning and then I'm applying Milky Spore Powder to the front lawn and watering it in. It's supposed to last 10 years to kill grubs (the kind we have) but isn't fully effective until after the first couple of years. It's worth it though to not have to constantly be...

    What do you think about these Martin Luther quotes?

    I have some Jewish friends who would say a lot of Jews say they're Jewish but they don't practice the religion...it's kind of like the Easter and Christmas Christians who show up because they feel an obligation. They embrace their heritage but the religion isn't for them.

    Is penance biblical?

    Our terminology of "penance" meaning confession/absolution is not equal to the Catholic one of "penance". Here is one thing that the Priest will do that Lutherans reject: The priest will assign you a (5) penance. The penance takes into account your personal situation and supports your...

    USA MY Take on Trump v Biden

    Exactly. That's the definition of how the word is used in the Creed.

    Is penance biblical?

    Lutherans define Sacrament differently than Catholics so I disagree that it's biblical. Also it says "intention of amendment" and that's amendment before God...which already has been taken care of by Jesus before God. And accepted by God.

    We're getting more rain and there is a small stream forming in the backyard.

    Is penance biblical?

    But you still think that Jesus didn't take the punishment for all your wrong doings. You keep demanding we punish ourselves. Punishing ourselves before God is not necessary and that's what Penance is. Consequences such as going to jail for stealing is what happens because of the governments set...

    Is penance biblical?

    Now there are earthly consequences if I punch my neighbor, but the sin is forgiven by the cross. I can't punish myself for the "sin" but I can be put in jail.

    Is penance biblical?

    All sin is against God. That's part of the problem here in that you think sinning against our neighbor is not also against God. All sin is forgiven at the cross. Against your neighbor, my neighbor, etc.
