God loves all, including Judas who betrayed Him. God has a intimate relationship with His Son and those who are in Him. The God of OT ans NT is the same. God demonstrated His mercy plenty of time in OT such as not wiping us out when we sinned but promised Messiah straightaway. Kept Moses and...

What evidence do you have that this is a metaphor? Scripture needs to be taken literarly, unless stated otherwise or the literature points to it. We take the book of genesis as literal history. Why should the book of revelation be different? You say the great city is the West. Revelation 11 8...

The two witnesses are Moses and Elijah. Both Moses and Elijah were there at the Mount of transfiguration to testify that Jesus is God. The Jews today will not hear you testify of Jesus from New Testament as they only know the Law (Moses) and Prophets (Elijah). Both Moses and Elijah were...

The thief is an excellent example of salvation, and it does not matter when one was saved, as we can be justified by faith alone, by God's grace, and that applies to all of the saints. Luke 23 40 But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of...

Both old and new testament saints were saved by God's grace. Whoever teaches that both groups were saved different ways needs to step down as a preacher.

I believe in pre-trib rapture for the following reasons: 1) Jesus says no knows the day of His coming but God alone. If it was in the middle, or after the Great Tribulation, then we know the day. 2) Luke 21 36 But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these...

And why is that? Because I believe in God? Or because I say that people lie, which they do.

Men lie, God does not. If God says something, then we know it to be true. We already know many times from history, science was wrong / was manipulated with.

Ok I did some more reading, and found some good arguments for small Israel as you mention. However, as I found out, some scholars insist the Hebrew grammar of the passage requires elep to mean a literal “thousand.” Both large and small census interpretations have good arguments. I need to do...

I didn't call anyone specifically a liar, but a man in general is a liar.

So if there is no archaeological evidence for the ressurection of Jesus Christ, you not gona believe it? Is God's word not enough for you? It's called faith for a reason.

I'll rather trust God over a man. God does not lie, whereas man does. You think this is a problem for God? God provided both water and food.

There is not need for theories, just stick to the Bible. The fact is, 600,000 male adults left Egypt. Include women and children and the number will be in millions.

Shortly after the Hebrews left Egypt, God commanded a census. According to Numbers 1:46, there was 603,550 adult males, thus making the population around 2 to 3 million. Let's remember, Israel spent 430 years in Egypt, and God blessed them, and they multiplied so rapidly, that Egyptian leaders...

I believe what Paul writes in Romans 11 that God has not rejected Israel, and that there is a future salvation for them. I believe what Zechariah writes in chapter 12 & 13 about one third of Israel will be saved by God's grace. I also believe in the 144,000 witnesses that will come from Israel.
