@Jazzy You started a thread in the "Bible study" area where I cannot respond. Most Christians believe all humanity is a product of serial incest. I found this, which offers an alternative view. The larger scope is about Judah and Jewishness - however the subject of where Cain got his wife...

Compared to the OT (and even NT) - insofar as clear action from Heaven - the God of the Bible seems to be very inactive in our modern History. Or - He's changed his Modus operandi. I had this conversation tonight - directing my words to God (that is, the God described in the OT/NT). Of...

As some here may or may not know, I am an Annihilation-ist. What this means is that I believe that those who God does not save will be utterly destroyed. I base this on several passages in the bible, and I reject the concept of a sort of "living death" where a person/soul/body "burns forever"...

Don't judge the content by the title or the account name (yes, the title and account name will probably offend some people and bring about a knee-jerk reaction) - I'm asking you to look beyond that to the content itself. It's only about 11 minutes of your time. I found it (the content)...

When/if you watch this, keep in mind it was a talk given in 2017. I am pretty reserved when it comes to calling anyone a "prophet", but there are people in our time who have the ability to embrace information that would make many of us balk, and to put together an understanding of the present...

In the past few days, I've read (or listened to) the opinions of "scholars" (some of whom I have respect for) that link the time of the destruction of the Temple to the end times. Basically they say that since Christ didn't return after this time, He made a large error and was therefore a false...

Our Pauline crowd should be very familiar with 1 Corinthians chapter 8. Reading this through, Paul clearly teaches that eating meat sacrificed unto an idol is fine because: An idol is nothing and there is only 1 God. 1 Cor 8:4-6 However, Paul teaches "weak" men have "conscience" towards...

The Parable of the Landowner can be found in Matthew 21:33-46. Please review it before answering the following question: If the husbandman and his fellow men are wicked for murdering first the servants (the prophets of the old testament) then the Son (Christ) in order to attempt to "seize...

So I watched a video recently from a person I follow regularly, as usually their content is excellent. This particular video, however, was a pretty big stretch for me to watch, while the information was interesting, as a person with a Christian background, now Deist, even I found it eye-raising...

The following video is just over 10 minutes and I think gives a pretty good layman's explanation of some dangers that lie ahead for people in the West. It ends on a positive note, but if this really is what Revelation predicted, then the believer (of the book of Revelation), and specifically...

There's been some mention of the Apocrypha on this forum of late, however it's been in sections I can't respond to. I found Skiba's study very interesting as it not only gives a broader context to what's mentioned in Genesis, but also ties in possible connections to ancient Greek Mythology (as...

Thread posted in Denomination Discussions, which I cannot reply to. My favorite Sunday School memory was as a little kid, seeing a smile from a similar age girl directed my way. The memory stands out because for whatever reason, the smile was genuine, innocent, without guile and seeking...

To most of Christiandom, original sin is a condition one has no fault in, but rather, it is the fault of a choice made by the first woman and man. By this sin, we supposedly inherit "sinful bodies", predisposed to sin, as part of some "fallen nature". Further, in Pauline Christian...

For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them. Ecclesiastes 9:12 I am curious how the Christian would identify with this...

Did you know, that in the old Syriac version of Luke, Jesus warns against the eating of flesh? Luke 21(Syriac): " Amen, I say to you that this generation will not pass away until 33 all these things be. Heaven and earth will pass away, and my words 34 will not...

Ah Lunacy. The province of Lunatics. The madness of a lunar spell... So our language and culture tell us. If you watch a horror movie, where murders and strange happenings abound, it is very likely that at some point in the film a full moon will be shown. Guilt by association. So pervasive is...

Often when I talk to Christians about vegetarianism/veganism they quote one of numerous biblical passages. Today I want to ask Christians about one of these passages. Please stay on topic as this is the only passage meant to be discussed here. Genesis 9:3...

I'm curious. Now that "Easter" is past... What would be your thoughts on someone who celebrated Passover per the Jewish Law? What I mean here is the feast of Unleavened without an animal sacrifice. What this would involve: Removal of all yeast and products made with yeast for...

So for those with a better biblical knowledge than me, I have a simple question: Is there a single prophet in what we know as the "old testament" who received money from, or a living from (in the form of goods in place of money) simply for being a prophet? My initial assumption...

Who is the Hireling? Scripture concerned: John, the whole of the 10th chapter, and more broadly, the book of John in general. Please provide scriptural support for your answer that fits all elements of the story. If you want to blame your pastor, or a church, or a...
