Interesting. I think this combined with Matthew 5:37 still gets me to the idea that you shouldn't lie. However, I can see what you are saying: "nor to swear by the name of Jehovah to lie and defraud, and so profane the name of God (see Exodus 20:7, Exodus 20:16);"...

One of the ten commandments "thou shalt not bear false witness . . ." refers to legal situations. (i.e. don't lie in court) However, there is another verse that states more generally not to lie: Leviticus 19:11

It doesn't actually say covenant there. (it's an interpretation/interpolation by the translator in the English) I think the context comes from the later verses and the verses before he quotes Jer 31 (there were no chapter divisions originally) so I think it is talking about the temple and the...

The oldest manuscripts have 616 and that works in Hebrew Gematria. 666 works with the meanings of the Greek symbols that make it up. 616 means "mark head hand affixed" 666 means "Christ detached from piercing" Through the context you get 616 = "man-made Torah" and 666 = "man-made christ" (the...

" Today, some of the best-known prosperity teachers are Creflo Dollar, T. D. Jakes, Guillermo Maldonado, Joel Osteen, and Paula White." https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/what-you-should-know-about-the-prosperity-gospel/ Seems like a pretty mainstream opinion in Christianity that life...

Yet, the claim that ImMucin will yield a universal vaccine remains dubious. Although 90% of cancers express MUC1, Dr. Schlom thinks it is "a bit of a stretch" that this vaccine could treat 90% of cancers. Even flu vaccines never approach absolute effectiveness. Cancerous cells, like Tolstoy's...

oh man oh man do I find this interpretation . . . creative :) https://torahideals.com/essays-and-imaginings/david-and-bathsheba/

Mueller backed up the narrative and said there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq that the FBI was concerned were going to be used domestically in the U.S. I think if he was investigating Hillary the Democrats would be playing this tape over and over again: With that being said I support...

Just to play devil's advocate, if you look at the genealogy in Matthew 1: "6 and Jesse begot David the king. David the king begot Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah. . . . 16 And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ." Bathsheba ended up...

The word form looks ambiguous. It seems to be used when Noah takes the dove into the ark and when Judah takes a wife as well as for violent actions: http://biblehub.com/hebrew/vaiyikkacheha_3947.htm (but maybe those actions were done without consent too, I don't know) Genesis 8:9 HEB...

"Jesus, while looking over the temple mount in Jerusalem shortly before his death, prophesied that its beautiful stones would be thrown down within a generation. He warned that the residents should flee Jerusalem to the mountains when they saw the Roman armies surrounding the city. Jesus’...

You are just full of questions :) To answer the OP, maybe: https://www.christianforums.com/threads/theory-on-the-number-of-the-beast.8066049/#post-72716534 My personal favorite theory: "By August of AD 66 there were plenty of “armies encompassing Jerusalem” inside and outside (Luke 21:20)...

Depends on what you define as the end times. :) For events predicted in the Bible, see this post: https://www.christianforums.com/threads/theory-on-the-number-of-the-beast.8066049/page-2#post-72716654 Although I learned some things later that I need to qualify this with...

The real question in my mind is whether the law talked about in Jer 31 is the same law. The new covenant isn't totally in effect yet because it says in those days "no one shall teach his neighbor." However, there are plenty of verses in the new testament talking about it starting to go into...

It says "fill the earth" that is impossible if everyone only has one child. I guess I see the command as being given to Adam. It would be kind of silly if it was ok for Adam to only have one child or not to reproduce as long as he remained single or else Paul had to come along thousands of years...

If that command is for every individual then wouldn't that contradict what Paul said about it being ok to be single and wouldn't that also mean that you would have to have more than 2 children since anything less is not increasing the population? (having only one child would decrease the population)

Then where do you get the idea that every couple is supposed to try to have at least one child?

"To be clear, I think it is wrong for a married couple to absolutely refuse to have children. But I don't think it's wrong for a married couple to seek to limit the amount of children they have by using contraception." I know a couple who is getting married, one has celiac disease the other had...

Trump can't grant moral authority to Putin or anyone else. Trump can't even grant the perception of moral authority because everyone with some sense knows Trump is a serial liar and contradicts himself all the time.
