The 12 Tribes of Israel were scattered/merged centuries before Jesus; afterwards Israel was divided into the tribes of either Israel or Judah. 2 examples: 1) How was Paul from the tribe of Benjamin if it didn't exist anymore? 2) In Luke 2:36 - "here was also a prophet, Anna, the daughter of...

This right here might be the central thesis of my post. In honest sincerity, I can say I believed my salvation was secure simply because of the metamelomai (ie: sinner's prayer and regret for my sin). Objectively analyzing this, it's easy to see the error in my ways. I know various definitions...

Background: I was raised Protestant/evangelical. I read my bible, went to Sunday school, etc. I always believed repentance/salvation was feeling sorry for your sins and believing in Jesus. Even though I lived a worldly life in school/college, I believed I was saved because I said the sinner's...

Absolutely. In the end the Jews will accept Christ; for the past almost 2,000 years it appears they don't accept Jesus as messiah. There seems to be lots of technicalities here: are most Jews the descendants of the Pharisees (many Israelites converted Christianity in the 1st century). Also what...

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." -John 14:6 It seems Judaism hasn't accepted Christ as their messiah.

The US witch population has seen an astronomical rise Witchcraft/sorcery is growing massively with the youth. Things like astrology, horoscopes, planet meditations, alchemy, and contacting the undead or spirit guides.

When did saying the name of God or Jesus (lack of piety context) become so common? Whether it's the God D* phrase or just saying the name of the messiah unfavorably...when did this become so common? Maybe some older folks can chime in, but was this a common practice even 100 years ago? Does...

Done everything. blood work, endoscopy, ct scan. Everything is completely normal with my body. After years of being 'healthy' but stomach nerves freaking out...I'm leaning towards spiritual and fear.

Have had everything tested. Went to a few specialists and my health is completely normal. I slowly cut out foods, then one day i just decided to eat everything against and it didn't make my stomach worse. It seems more like a stomach nerves/anxiety thing. I can't have any physical touch to my...

Since finishing college in 2013 my stomach has been in a never ending pain cycle. No physical pressure can touch it. It has snowballed to have caused dizziness and now limits my driving + walking + ability to play drums. All the medical tests have been completed: healthy. At this rate I'm...

The Tanakh paints 2 roles of messiah 1) suffering and 2) conquering. Isaiah 53 shows the messiah was pierced for our transgressions and rejected by mankind. Obviously the other role of the messiah will be to establish peace on earth and restore Israel (second coming of Yeshua). It seems...

For what it's worth, Enoch is the 3rd most prevalent book in the Dead Sea Scrolls (Jubilees is #6th): Dead Sea Scrolls - Wikipedia

Agreed. 50 years ago the share of federal tax burden was much higher from companies. Now it's via payroll taxes and citizens. Lots of offshore company money and corporate welfare doesn't help the cause either.

As a California native...we have great weather and things to do. There's also high taxes, expensive rents, high immigration, homeless/drugs, congested traffic. Been considering leaving (the current fire/smoke crisis isn't helping the cause to stay lol).

Isn't Roman Catholic a mix of Christianity and mithraism (ie: Constatine)? Which is why there's mary veneration, intercession of saints, indulgences, etc. The theology of the 1st century apostles may be different than the blended Roman religion hundreds of years later?
