    Jesus taught only in parables - Luke 15 - 1/10

    Jesus' earthly ministry ended at his crucifixion and resurrection, roughly three and a half years after it began. Wiser men than you and I still debate the exact length of time. Why do you attack me? Are you sure that your understanding of the scriptures is correct? Open mindedness is a...

    Jesus taught only in parables - Luke 15 - 1/10

    Jesus learned as he grew up. Jesus ministered on earth for three and a half years.

    Jesus’ Blood Is On The Mercy Seat hence giving you Perfect Standing Before GOD

    Your understanding of the priesthood and Mercy Seat seems to be right on. But, if you're asking what the spirits were in the Raiders/Lost Ark, you should probably ask Steven Spielberg or post to an IMDB forum. :-) While it is just speculation on my part, I suspect he was clearly trying to...

    Do you love like Christ, or for selfish motives?

    Whatever actions we take, grieving, tithing, praying or whatever, we take because they are in our own best interests. Nobody makes us do these things. We do them because they are good and proper and they make us feel better. It is only secondary that another may benefit from our thoughts or...

    Jesus taught only in parables - Luke 15 - 1/10

    The principle of teaching in parables is not unique to the New Testament. Nor was it Jesus' method alone. The Old Testament is full of parables and deep symbolism, starting with the two great metaphors, God called the light "day" and the darkness he called "night". Another clear example is...

    pre-Adamite mortals - explains scientific evidence

    Like Jerushabelle, I don't see a gap between Gen 1:1 and 1:2 either. The gap theory is convenient for consistency, those that believe in a "literal" six days of creation. They still have to struggle with the scientific data that indicates the earth is millions of years old (as indicated by the...

    How To Build A Relationship With God?

    Look at the cosmos and marvel at its size and grandeur. Look at yourself and see how small you are by comparison. Wonder aloud how you got here and what your purpose is. That's the "Hello" call to God. The relationship with him will unfold in time.

    “christianity Without Christ”

    Christianity without Christ is like a bottle of wine without a corkscrew.

    How much do we relate to the people in the Bible?

    This is a provocative question. I, for one, think about it a lot too. I used to believe that Jesus live and died 2000 years ago. But then I realized he is alive today. That brought me to a whole new thinking about what the individuals in the bible represent. I think they represent both the best...

    Law and the Prophets

    Jesus was simply summarizing the Old Testament. Today, Jewish people practice 613 distinct commandments in the law. Jesus provided the essence and purpose of these "laws" in just two eloquently simple phrases, Love God and love thy neighbor as thyself. Also, the term "the law and the...

    Eschatology

    That was quite an introduction, straight from the heart apparently. I am also a newbie at CF and have thought about the same things you have for quite some time. I have pondered the questions of who I am, why am I here, and where am I going for about as long as I can remember. I'm sure many of...
