Should we ever stop asking?

[stranger]

Does the bible [quoted above] not state in Jesus' own words that a few will know all truth directly from God in this life [who will be the kings and priests in the kingdom when all sinners of this earth are resurrected to the righteous new earth kingdom of God] ?

Howdy Stranger,

Welcome to WWMC.

You are indeed correct in your post. But here's the thing . . .

Did you know that you're also in a liberal forum where some of our members are not 100% convinced that something's true just because it's in the bible?

I am pointing this out because some folks come here and make their points based on biblical innerrency, but that does not necessarily convince everyone in the way that poster would hope.

If you're curious about how some of us form our beliefs, then feel free to ask us. I personally like to use the bible as a way to show that God loves His children and hopes that we all live with love in our hearts.

But there are a few details in the bible that I believe were added by prejudiced humans for political reasons.

I hope you continue to visit us and share your views. You are quite welcome here.

But please do not get frustrated when biblical arguments are not necessarily taken as undisputable fact.

God bless~

Did you not notice that this thread is ONLY FOR QUESTIONS ?

Did you not get the point of this thread that one cannot be dogmatic if only asking a question?

Did you not notice that Jesus said that only a few [144,000 in Rev 7:3-8] wil find the narrow strait way of love in this life [Matt 7:14] and that the many will be saved afterward in the kingdom come upon the new earth [Rev 7:9-10] ?

Why then would you abuse the scripture by pretending that it says that many can find the love in their hearts and do it in this life , when Jesus says otherwise?

How do you think that you know anything about Jesus without believing the scriptures?

Is the resurrection of this thread an Easter miracle?

How could I have missed that?

I wonder if it had something to do with the ten day gap?

Should I reread every thread from the beginning again?

Should a "thanks" for pointing this out be in order?

 

[ZuZu]

Could we all just get along and be happy that we are together again?

 

[Antje]

How is it that I have never seen this awesome thread before?

 

[stranger]

Is anyone not together and happy here????

If not then why would they not be at peace with One powerful God in charge?

Why would anyone come here or not believe in Jesus from God's scripture if they were unhappy with that ???

Was the resurrection of this thread not prophesied for Passover , not at pagan Easter?

Are awesome threads not visible to all who have eyes to see?

Do we not all have enforced breaks from even such perfect threads as this one, doesn't a person need coffee and sleep sometimes?

Did anyone else notice that the truths quoted were from the scripture, not personal truths at all, but truths for any who believe the scriptures ...and hence alone have heard of the real Jesus ?

Why would a thread have fallen apart just cos' a couple of people slipped away for a night or two on the tiles?

Is it not better to know what a thread is about before one starts in ?

 

[D.W.Washburn]

Does the celebration of Jesus' resurrection become pagan simply because it is given a pagan name?

Or, does the semantic place holder "Easter" become stripped of its pagan connotations by its common association with Jesus' resurrection?

 

[stranger]

How many nights between 'good' 'friday' and 'easter' 'sunday' ?

Do you see there are two?

What did Jesus say he would leave as his sign? [Matthew 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.]

is there a difference between two and three nights when one is giving a sign to people from God about corrupt religion?

are Jesus' signs of any meaning ?

Might one compare this with Jesus keeping passover with his disciples a day earlier than the tradition of the Jewish hierarchy, showing them they were wrong by scripture just as modern Christianity does not reprove itself to what Jesus said , let alone the whole Word of God?

Is this scripture from Paul of any meaning to modern divided traditions labelled Christian whatever - Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Who divided Christianity separating it from the beliefs of those who gave up sin to follow Christ - 2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. ?

Which is stronger for most people, the words of Jesus, the saints and the prophets as one integral word of God [necessarily one else it is not of God], or grossly divided and differing countless traditions of religion? [which are far from one, but prophesied by Jesus himself eventually to become one united belief in one religion under the antichrist figure - Rev 13:3-4 ....and all the world wondered after the beast and they worshipped the dragon ] ?

Is the real evidence from scripture in Jesus own words of any meaning any longer in religion labelled by his name ?

One obviously cannot stop the falling away from Jesus' teachings in scripture because Jesus himself said it must come first, but how is it that almost all ignore Jesus' witness in scripture in plain words, preferring dogma and ritual that is familiar, habitual, pagan traditions dressed up, so clearly contradicting what is written, as having anything to do with the truth of God in scripture on which the tradition yet pretends to be based?

Is it not possible to see that all contradictions cannot be true, however familiar and common the tradition of believing them today ?

Does one not see the irony in using an exclusive nonHebrew approach to time ("only two nights between Frigg's Day and the Sun's Day") to dismiss an inclusive Hebrew determination of time ("three days and three nights") -- and then calling the latter pagan?

 

[stranger]

Is the point of using counting nights rather than days not to get around explaining the difference between Hebrew days and the days most keep today , because the count of nights here happens to be the same in both cases ... ?

In other words is not a Hebrew night just the same as a Roman one even though the definition of days is very different ?

No bebe, it isn't necessarily, not in all contexts, and certainly not in the case in question.

Why don't we dialogue further in an independent thread?

 

[stranger]

Does not the scripture itself show that Jesus set passover as his memorial which very few keep any longer , preferring traditions based upon paganism that make Jesus to have lied about the sign of Jonah? :-

Matthew 26:18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.

Luke 22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

 

[AzA]

Was that a "No, thank you"?

Did I not try to post on a thread you use to talk about 'easter' at :-

but sadly at the time the database went down again and some posts were lost ?

Try again then and perhaps it will work now?

Anyone for a cup of coffee and chocolate biscuits?

What no-one here likes choccy biscuits ?
Can I believe that ?

Is life not good at heart even though it gets worse outside daily?

Did you not ever wonder why the contrast?
