    Does Sibylline Book VIII, Lines 650-670, oppose the Old Testament animal sacrifices? (SOLVED)

    Does Book VIII, Lines 650-663, oppose the Old Testament sacrifices of animals, which were part of the Day of Atonement in Judaism? Or does the passage only oppose sacrificing animals as part of certain banned pagan rituals? (Yes to the second Question. See Resolution #2 Below) J.J. Collins...

    Before the anti-Christ is taken out of the way, he must be put together, first

    Hi there, So part of the counter-intuitive nature of Revelation is embellished here, as we look at the anti-Christ. Revelation says he has a number. What is important about this, is that it suggests that the anti-Christ does not answer to God, by name, but as we must imagine, by number. In a...

    Some Thoughts: Is The Pursuit Of Joy Required For Salvation And Obedience To Jesus?

    I do not believe that emotions—not even the emotion of joy—is to be the object of our pursuit of God. The Bible is clear that the heart—the seat of our emotional being—is desperately wicked and “sick.” Our emotions are shaped by our experiences in life—our past experiences. How one person...

    Eating the Lamb of God - In what ways does it clarify the purpose for Christ's shed blood?

    The sin offering in the Old Testament sanctuary service symbolized the Lamb of God. The study in this video reveals that in the amazing reality to which the sin offering pointed, believers are to eat the Lamb of God. Much is said about the importance of Christ's blood releasing us from the...

    Old Covenant To New Covenant

    When dissecting any verse of scripture. Ask yourself, of whom, to whom, with what words, what time, where, to what intent, with what circumstances, considering what is written before and what follows any single verse context. ^^^Myles Coverdale, Bible theologian/translator wrote the above^^^...

    "When you see the abomination of desolation" Matthew 24:15...

    Hi there, So I had this idea that the abomination of desolation represented the dead bodies of the Israelites in Israel, at the time of the beheading of those who do not receive the mark of the Man of Sin. The abomination is that they are the elect and should not be dead; the desolation is that...

    Surrender The Need To Be In Control And Place Others Above Oneself!

    How easy is it for us to fall into the trap of behaving in a way that drives us to feel the need to be in control? Yet, it is our human nature to live this way. This nature causes us to want to make everything fit within the framework of our own understanding, and when it does not it can effect...

    How did Christ's death change the Jewish traditions?

    When did the Jews stop offering animal sacrifices? Did they repair the curtain in the holy of holies? I know Jews still celebrate Yom Kippur for atonement of their sins, but my Jewish friends seem to be not quite sure why.

    Rescue Them

    1 John 3:16-18 ESV By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love...

    Leviticus Drives

    Just to mention of the Book of Leviticus these days, can evoke a groan. We just don’t put ourselves in the shoes of the folks in that book very much. But there is a way to do so, and it gets easier every year in this day and age. It has to do with depression, in other words, the personal...

    Hold To The Truth

    1 John 3:1-3 ESV See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when...

    Why Say "Yes"?

    Luke 1:26-38 ESV In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with...

    Can I be a good Christian?

    Hey everyone :) I am new to this forum and also quite new to Christianity. I see myself as agnostic, but I came really close to Christianity over the last month's. Now I am struggling with my faith, due to current events in my life and people telling me that I wouldn't be a 'good Christian'...
