Blessed2, I also do not celebrate none of the Christian holidays. As for XMas I found the same disturbing info. in my own researching of the topic. There's too many similar traits found in it and pagan practices from the past (a couple even in scripture that was warned against). Also the...

I don't know, you tell me. In any paragraph where I mentioned your name twice whatever statements were aimed at you were toward you (in that statement not necessarily the whole paragraph). When I told everyone about examining thier position in an unbiased manner I meant everyone under the sun...

A well said post Jesse, I give a hearty "Amen" to that! I have no problems with admitting guilt on my part. As I was responding to Der Alter's accusations I did come to realize that maybe someone can take personally the things I've said as if they were to belittle the individual. I'll try...

For all who read this quote my response is in red. I'm sorry Der Alter but these quotes of mine don't even get close to your true personal attacks of an individual while responded specifically to them. If you think these were attacks or offensive I can't do nothing about that. You're beliefs I...

I believe that the resurrection is the physical fulfillment of that passage and has nothing to do with Peter. I believe the rock was Messiah himself, I say to you [Peter] That you are Peter, and upon this rock [Messiah, truth, etc.] I will build my church [body of believers] and the gates...

Wow Hebrew, I never thought abouth that aspect of the relationship between death and the grave. It makes much more sense now, sometimes even some common sense things are missed and must be revealed through another. Be praise be to YHWH how he reveals things to us! I do indeed learn something...

I will confess that I am guilty of posting in haste concerning the famous passage in Luke. I made a statement of fact as if I had done a true investigative/prayerful research on the matter. I truly only have heard of such spoken by different people in regards to the manuscripts. I will retract...

Caught a glimpse of what you had to say Der Alter. I am not ignoring your scriptures because somehow they defeat my position (I know you feel they do) I ignore you're post unfortunately because of you, if it was someone else posted the great material you post (with the exception of your...

He was referring to my comments regarding the phrase "the gates of Hades will not prevail against the church". This is concerning the erroneous conclusion that this was talking about the attacks of "Hell" will not prevail vs. the church. My comments in summary stated that this was dealing with...

First, I wanted to say thanks Hebrew for the kind comments. I appreciate what you have posted as well, it was good insight that I will be looking more into! For deu58 I'm sorry I should have qualified my statements. I was speaking of Torah in general and not the specific commandments. I...

These passages are a good example of what "Gehenna"/Lake of Fire/Final Judgment/Second Death will be like. Sodom/Gomorrah was destroyed by G-d's intense wrath, destroyed by fire. The greatest thing about this example is that as said in Jude 1:7 they suffered eternal fire, not that the fire was...

To point #1 There was indeed a person that we can all agree with was fully human (with a heavier than water body) that walked on water, his name was Kepha (Peter). We understand that he was able to do this only as G-d inabled him to. Messiah walking on water does not prove his being G-d. #2...

Hebrew I never really looked into such a thing. I will look more into what you have brought up concerning the beast issue. Perhaps that's why the kingdoms/governments of men are identified as beast, am I on to something there? Concerning the first statement, very true simply put, the mark is...

Here's another issue, the saints spoke about the condition of the dead in scripture. They were either speaking about it from a understanding that 1. the soul separates from the body upon death and goes to heaven/hell. or 2. the person that dies was dead, period. Ps. 6:5 For in death there is...

Has anyone ever ventured into the many scriptures that describe the state of the dead? I was blessed when I looked into every scripture dealing with the words die, dead, death, and sleep. These passages were very enlightening. I have a question: If those who are asleep (dead) go immediately...

Yes Magnus, when we die we all go to the grave "Sheol/Hades". When the end comes Yahshua will resurrect the dead saints to live forevermore thus the passage "the gates of Hades will not prevail against the church". The prison bars of the grave will have to release us from it's grip at the...

I don't believe that in order for my opinion to be true, the mark must be figurative (I mention this only because my beliefs are similar to Protestant's with the exception that I add to it the entire "Torah" not just Sabbath keeping.) I hold that the Mark will be an exact counter to the Seal...

I don't know exactly how the issue is going to be enforced. There are ways I'm sure the government could get into enforcing religion just as it did in the past. Marking out those who follow a Torah lifestyle could become rather easy if the government wanted it so. The secondary part to this...

Nicely put TB! I agree with you, terms such as this, false religion, and unorthodox means little in proving anything. The popular group of the day can throw this around all day just as the Catholics did in the past. Think about it every denominations calls the other wrong and the choir shouts...

Luke 23:43 And he said to him, Truly I say to you, today will you be with me in Paradise. Luke 23:43 And he said to him, Truly I say to you today, will you be with me in Paradise. Though very similar, these two come to different conclusions. The manuscripts of the pass did not use verses...
