    I'm leaving this forum

    I feel like I have been wasting too much time on here. Threads go through the same arguments again and again and never reach a resolve. This doesn't apply to everyone by any means, but what some Christians have said is incredibly off-putting. It's not necessarily Christian theology, it's the...

    Sharing my faith with a Sikh (seeking advice from Christians)

    I think you should know I believe a religious leader named Jesus existed and he is vaguely the inspiration for the gospels. It's likely he was crucified too. I believe the Gospels were written at least decades after Jesus' death so there was a lot of time for rumors to brew. It seems likely...

    Discovering God

    I'm surprised you would think reading only one chapter without it's context is a valid way to read the bible. You read only 53 and you get a terribly incomplete picture. Isaiah 53 only makes sense in context. Reading only 53 is like jumping into the middle of a book in the middle of a...

    Sharing my faith with a Sikh (seeking advice from Christians)

    I have Sikh friends who I do not try to deconvert. I have Hindu friends I do not try to deconvert. I have Christian friends I do not deconvert. If I constantly told them my views were correct and they should be atheists I'd lose friends. It would be best to just let her be. Religious...

    what messianic prophecies where not fulfilled by jesus?

    I feel in terms of prophecies, verses with a spiritual meaning in Judaism are given a literal meaning in Christianity, where verses Judaism holds have a literal meaning are given a spiritual meaning in Christianity.

    How is Jesus descended from David?

    Yeah, I know that. I'm okay with ending this if you are.

    How is Jesus descended from David?

    I have heard it taught this this, as well as Baptism, was well-established in Jewish practice by Jesus' day. I don't know about that, but I don't find those in Scripture. Do you mean literal, baptism? The first thing I thought of when I read that was Mikvah in Judaism for ritual purity...

    How is Jesus descended from David?

    People who lack the Holy Spirit? Does the Holy Spirit give you a feeling? A feeling of love or understanding? I do not think "miracles", feelings, or emotions are evidence of God or a Holy Spirit. When we need to rely on miracles and the happy-happies something gives us, we may very well be...

    How is Jesus descended from David?

    We need to take this talk of Isaiah to the Christianity and World Religions forum. I'm pretty sure debate is allowed there.

    How is Jesus descended from David?

    The only thing to support this is written in a book. I think things like miracles or feelings of love, being moved by the Holy Spirit are results of seeing, hearing, and thinking what you want. How can we verify a miracle is a miracle and someone isn't lying or making it up? Is it alright to...

    How is Jesus descended from David?

    Oh, I mean like the song. You know the Smiley face is making the Y. I don't agree with that really. But in theory, Jesus would just have no lineage because he has no father. Mary's genealogy seems to be a tad up in the air anyway. Bloodlines aren't a legal thing. Thank you for being...

    How is Jesus descended from David?

    If you have to be Christian to understand the bible, how exactly do you explain converts? How do you explain Christians who stop believing? Why are there different denominations? Is the Holy Spirit moving everyone in different directions? Why do Christians have different interpretations...

    How is Jesus descended from David?

    This is if we already hold a Christian viewpoint and have decided Jesus is above the triviality of the laws. I believe it's also a Christian believe that you are grafted into the blessing of Abraham. Is Jesus above being a descendant of David even if this is a prophecy? How is Jesus the...
