    Do the Saved have the free will to commit sin in heaven? Will we always be able to?

    I would actually put a different spin on it, that our will is perfectly free when there is the most basic presence of sources of temptation. and that when sources of temptation are intensified, it makes us less free, because the more difficult to overcome sin, the more likely we will choose to...

    Do the Saved have the free will to commit sin in heaven? Will we always be able to?

    "Do the saved saints and angels in the hereafter have the free will to choose to do evil and thus get themselves thrown out of heaven like Satan and his angels previously did ?" Yes they have the free will, because if they dont it would be tyrannical and not true love. True love is chosen and...

    What did ancient Israelite/Hebrew art look like?

    I definitely think a good idea to reconstruct Hebrew art would be to look at the other Semitic cultures. Such as you mentioned Arabic and Syrian. But another suggestion as well, is the ethiopian/geez culture. They claim to have the ark of the covenant for instance and they display replicas of...

    How many here accept the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha as Scripture?

    Hmm? All i am saying is that those within Christianity ALSO call themselves messianics lol. ive been to congregations that do this before. i found out when the "rabbi" started saying eating bacon is not a sin. im saying those who call themselves messianics but are protestants, imply they are...

    How many here accept the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha as Scripture?

    Yes, i dont think the term is really appropriately used, but yet it is used as how i explained. It can be very confusing but i was specifying what the term has come to mean in practice/usage not necessarily how it should be used.

    A messianic jew is a broad term which is used for any Christian which lives like a Jew. This can refer to Christians who live culturally like Jews just as tradition or as "being all things to all people" but don't think the way of life is mandatory or required. then there are other christians...

    How many here accept the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha as Scripture?

    " Reread Deu 13:1-5. A false prophet can prophesy something that does come to pass. He is false if his message is intended to turn one away from YHWH or His Torah (Deu 13:5). You could put Jesus in that thought if you're not careful. "Love your enemy?"" If Messiah turned us away from God or...

    How many here accept the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha as Scripture?

    I laugh because its silly to say what you are saying. my attacks on gnosticism are because i view it as a false religion. if you think that is an insult, im sorry but the problem is you are defining my words as insult when all i did was simply disagree vehemently with the truthfulness of your...

    "“If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams,...saying, ‘Let us go after other gods’—which you have not known—‘and let us serve them,’ 3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the Lord your God is testing you to know whether you love...

    How many here accept the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha as Scripture?

    In my view yes. Jonah was evil but his book got in the Bible. I believe Jonah repented of his wickedness but he was full of hate when he prophesied to the Ninevites; can a saved prophet be full of hate? What does 1 John say? read the whole 1 John you'll see ;). chapter 3 i recommend for the...

    Yes he failed number 2, but he is still a true prophet. He was just an evil/unsaved true prophet. Satan is not a true prophet because some of his prophecies are false. But if all his prophecies were true, yes he would be a true prophet despite being incredibly wicked. Yeah Balaam's book is...

    1.A prophet is true if all his prophecies are true. 2.A prophet is evil if any of his teachings (non prophetic or prophetic) are false. 3.A true prophet is to be stoned if he commits blasphemy or any other capital crimes. Jonah was a true prophet, yet he was a murderer (he who hates in his...
