The book of Hebrews was written to the Jews of the day (as well as now, 1900+ years later) that did/do not believe Jesus is the promised Messiah. It's commonly thought that Paul, a 'super Jew' that was a Pharisee (very well educated in the Torah and OT, usually rich, etc) wrote this book to the...

One of the interesting things in the Bible is that there oftentimes is no indication of the passage of time, be it hours, days, weeks, even longer. Look at the book of Acts, for example. It is a good documentary of what happened starting with Christs' ascension. When reading it, one may...

There is no contradiction when each verse is looked at in context: Acts 9:3-7 (KJV) 3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: 4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me...

After reading through this thread, it's clear that the 'Mary was a perpetual virgin' crowd will unconditionally hold to Catholic fabrications of adding to Gods' Word regarding Mary while concurrently violating Gods' Word by contradicting it in many places, including making images and shrines to...

We DO know from Genesis accounts that the Pharaoh made Joseph the #2 man and Israel (Jacob & 11 other sons) moved to Egypt. Certainly, they were highly regarded for some years. After they died, and particularly Joseph, how much longer after that was the offspring of Joseph and family remained...

Although the book of Hebrews was written to unbelieving Jews, Paul writes that Jesus is 'the better' <several things>. Like Peter's confession that Jesus IS the Messiah in Matthew 16:18, Jews then needed only to repent of their failure to believe that Jesus WAS the Messiah and believe He was...

Although there are several prophetic references in the Old Testament, knowing that Peter and the other disciples were unlearned, he probably wrote from what Jesus told the 12: Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire...

Other than the 3rd heaven being somewhere 'above and beyond' all the stars they could see before telescopes, 'heaven' was not where Israelites expected and hoped to go after they died. Instead, the OT saints (Adam, Noah, Abraham, etc) went to Paradise, which is in the earth, separated by a...

Jesus made it quite clear in both Matthew and Luke that it will happen in the earthly Kingdom He establishes following the 7 years tribulation. Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in...

I am as tired of your endlessly spouting Catholic falsehoods in this forum as I am of you in another forum, aka, Theefaith. To all the non-Catholics out there, HERE is where the 'perpetual virginity of Mary' nonsense comes from...directly from the Catechism of the Catholic Church: #499 The...

I'm 'someone new' here... I'll jump in with this: Matthew 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. So, unless Jesus was lying, it is physically impossible for him to be 3 days...

It's common knowledge that when Christ died on the cross, he first descended into paradise (where the thief on the cross alongside Jesus went, Lazarus was, but not the rich man who was in torment) and retrieved all the Old Testament saints from Adam & Eve, Noah, Moses, David, the prophets, etc...

It's a reference to the widow of one of the church pastors that died about 40 years ago. She and her eldest daughter were members of the church when I was saved 23 years ago. About 8-9 years ago, her dementia required her to be moved to a nursing home. About 6 months before she went home to...

So, according to you(?), except for the 4 Gospels, everything else in the Bible is not truth?

That's right! Throughout the Old Testament, all of Israel knew that there will be the abomination of desolation as written by Daniel, followed by the promised Messiah coming to restore the Kingdom as it was in the days of David. Even the disciples asked Jesus when He would restore the...

It would seem that none of the respondents here know WHERE the 7 years tribulation is scripturally defined. It centers around the book of Daniel. Daniel 9:24-27 24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins...

One must first consider the overall context of the verse, in this case, Hebrews 11, the 'faith chapter'. The entire chapter was written to show the power of faith in God (remember, it was written to Hebrews (Jews) of the day that had not yet believed Jesus was the promised Messiah). Other...
