Numbers 35:33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. If justice is not done, if the people of the land do not ensure that the shedding of innocent...

I agree that there are many subtle phrases throughout the OT and NT that are used to bring to mind a concept laid out in an earlier Scripture. This was especially useful before the books of scripture were combined and numbered for reference. Sometimes these phrases get lost in the greek...

If anyone has an ear, let him hear: If anyone is to be taken captive, to captivity he goes; if anyone is to be slain with the sword, with the sword must he be slain. Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints. Revelation 13:9-10 We are called to endure faithfully...

The Laws that run creation are universal to all times and shown to be so in both the OT and NT. Examples include hospitality, reaping and sowing, and life is in the blood, just to name a few. These rules are reiterated by Jesus in all four Gospels, and then numerous times throughout the rest of...

I did not so much as use a single verse that contained the name Israel. There was mention of the Kingdom of Judah, but only in regards to God's unwillingness to forgive the shedding of innocent blood. I intentionally did this to avoid association with replacement theology. The verses I quoted go...

I once thought the same thing, but Jesus' sacrifice followed the rules of the law, and the law specifically stated that the land could only be cleansed by the blood of he who shed innocent blood.(Numbers 35:33)

There seems to be a general consensus that war is bad, but is it really? Some wars seem to come out of nowhere, their starts making little sense after the fact, but was there a deeper, more spiritual cause? I think war is the only way in which blood polluted land can be redeemed. God cursed...

I suspect it was food sacrificed to idols.

Out of 31,103 verses in the Bible, I used only a few that addressed the issue you raised(the killing of the unborn, the issue of suffering, and the reward for suffering for Christ). The verses you listed in response have nothing to do with those subjects. If you wished to argue for abortion...

In response to your entire post: Proverbs 17:15 In response to some of the questions you have raised: Romans 8:17, Romans 8:36, Romans 12:9, Philippians 3:10 My final response to the whole issue: Psalm 94:21 God's clearly stated response: 2 Kings 24:4, Exodus 20:13, Exodus 21:22-25...

In 2020, my non-christian fishing buddy suggested the Feds kill everyone in CHAZ(seems like ancient history now) and refused to rationally discuss the implications. Additionally, he believed that my disagreement was equivalent to sympathizing with the enemy. It's not fun being on a boat in that...

It is even more confusing on the inside.

Jesus refused to answer false charges made against Him.

Once, hearing David repeat, "Like as a father pitieth his children" (Psalms 103:13), Joab objected that a mother had more pity for her children than a father. David suggested that he should more carefully observe the dispositions of parents toward their children, and to do this, Joab undertook a...

As it applies to the individual, I am in agreement with the following statement: I have problems with(but don't necessarily disagree with) the following: I agree only in regards to a Christian government(which I define as a government run by either Christian rulers[in most cases, the modern...
