I had No Clue about total depravity until I was in the latter half of a soteriology class, and my sin was strongly displayed to me, in my mind. I mean, by that, I had a sudden knowledge of my filthy sins that I never knew before. I thought I was a pretty good person, until that night. And I...

I think it's great that you can do this. I'm jealous. I wish I was so disciplined! I will be doing what I have been doing. Studying. I am undisciplined when it comes to reading, although I have made many false starts, trying. I end up studying, because my curiosity knows no bounds, then I go...

Hah! I only had a year to live, according to one of my docs, 2010. Ten years later, I still may have only a year to live. Things have deteriorated badly in 2019, so who knows. But let me warn you -- those of you who think you may be able to plan and work with a one year death sentence. It...

I am Messianic, and although Messianism is not a denomination I know, personally, of no Messianics who celebrate Christmas other than my husband -- who sort of does, sort of doesn't. I do not celebrate it.

What??

It taught me hatred, insolence, few are worthy of honor, I am a pawn for vicious people; while Jesus is a nice guy, His Father is hateful like those who ruled over me.

Mother was cruel and a preacher's wife. I pay for that daily now. It does not end when they can't beat us anymore: I am 70yo. Because of her, I learned: 1. Don't hit children, no matter what you call it -- slap, spank, tap. Just don't do it. 2. Don't belittle your children. 3. Children are not...

Yeah, spanking is some parents' way of taking care of disobedient children. It's fast, easy, takes no thought or consideration, does not require reasoning, it's violent, cruel, and is NOT a mandate in the Bible, if one chooses to actually try to understand what the Bible SAYS. I reared my two...

That is part of the "Two House" teachings.

Wow. Seriously? That is so kind, Visionary!! Thank you!!

Thank you!! :blush:

I am Messianic and have been since December, 1999, but not a Messianic Jew. Now, what? Help!

:wave: I think you got that backwards, Hon. You are the one who indicated that the chapter is about Sunday communal worship. Show me. Otherwise, this conversation is over. Okay? :)

This Scripture, however, is not about the weekly Sabbath. I do not believe Shabbat is mentioned in the whole chapter.

English. Some Hebrew, too, but not often, as I am still learning it. Some years back, I spoke Koine Greek, but I have forgotten much of that language.

I am sorry, but you have misread or misunderstood the verse, but then, it is traditional to misunderstand it. People are just used to misreading it that way. This verse, in no way, says that one keeping the Law is depending upon the Law for justification. If one does depend upon the Law for...

As one who observes Sabbaths -- those delineated by the weeks those delineated by the months no, I do not believe people go to hell for worshiping on Sunday. I attend services with my community on the Sabbaths, and I worship at home on Sundays. I worship daily. In other words, I do not believe...

Thank you. :) I really appreciate their attitudes now, LaBèlla. My husband has been attending with me now for about 2 years, my son thinks somewhat messianically and makes statements that surprise me in that way, and my daughter is a believer who attends nowhere. That is hard for me, but when I...

When our children were ages 5 and two, my first husband stated that he didn't think we should spank them and asked me to think about it. I had never heard of such a thing as rearing children without spanking, but I liked the idea, so we thought about it. However, before we could come together...

-- I am a Messianic Gentile. I do not have enough Jewish background/blood to call myself a Jew. -- No, I would not follow another path. -- That the Torah was never abrogated. -- Having to attend without my husbands approval, while he attended somewhere else, as I did for several years, and my...
