Re: Circumcision Questions

Lassie, the Disciples and Paul were right, if you're going to carry the signs as a means to earn your salvation then you have to carry all the signs. People try argue that we (non-Jews not living in Israel) must literally keep the Torah, like being circumcised, keeping the Feasts, etc., but they for...

Re: Can you lose it...

Regarding 1 Samuel 28:19 "Yahweh will deliver both Israel and you into the hands of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. Yahweh will also give the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines." I don't think Samuel was saying Saul will be with him in Abraham...

Re: Parable of the Ten Virgins

I don't want to moan here but aren't these last few posts in the wrong thread?

Edit:

Oops, the other thread got created because of this.

Re: Can you lose it...

Who is Yah wanting more to spend eternity with: a severely handicapped person in the care of a believer or an intellectual know-it-all believer? The answer is probably both, but I'm sure Yah has a big heart for those in real need of Him even if they're unable to know it.

Re: Finger-likkin Halal in Tescos

Maybe David Cameron will change that with his latest "multiculturalism has failed" speech. LOL. Unfortunately, there's no chance of that happening because he said "We need to be clear: Islamist extremism and Islam are not the same thing." See if you guys can buy local meat or pac...

Re: Can you lose it...

The Timothy passage Matthew posted sounds to me like it's referring to those who were never born from above - those who reject God in the first place and therefore never had the spirit of God. I think if we read verses 1 to 10 we can assume it means that of formally being a believer but then turnin...

yes, but more complicated if it is incorporated in a pie or something.

Re: Can you lose it...

Psalm 51: 10 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. 2 Timothy 2: 11 Here is a trustworthy saying: If we d...

Re: Parable of the Ten Virgins

Do you guys think our death is technically the consummation of the marriage? Once dead one's destiny is set. Even though death doesn't quite sound as pretty as having sex, when we die we do pass from mortality to immortality, from a mortal body to a spiritually immortal body.

Re: stuck on circumcision...

Walt, your post made me think. It was a low blow of me to accuse Craig Winn of purposefully mistranslating the text. I have stooped to a new low because it is entirely reasonable to think that Craig's intention was good. When he commenced his work on Prophet of Doom and Yada Yahweh his intentions we...

Re: stuck on circumcision...

In regards to Leviticus 12: someone might argue that since there is no temple then circumcision according to the Torah cannot be performed, so trying to not keep Torah in the areas one cannot is technically keeping Torah. I see the logic in this but if our parents did not have us circumcised in hono...

Re: Parable of the Ten Virgins

If we read it in chronological order the foolish virgins get "left behind," to coin a phrase. They are then required to gain more from the gold entrusted to them. Match that up to the Church (Ekklesia) of Philadelphia and Laodicea of Revelation 7:7-22. We know the Philadelphians (with no a...

Re: stuck on circumcision...

Does anyone know why Ezekiel 44:6-8 is always quoted by the "Gentiles should be circumcised anyway" crowd? And say to the rebellious house, to the house of Yisra'el, "Thus says 'Edonay Yahuweh, 'O house of Israel, enough of all your abominations, in admitting foreigners, uncircu...

Re: stuck on circumcision...

A snippet from KP's chapter 4, "Studies in Contrast," of The Torah Code: Like Noah’s covenant, this one was sealed with a sign, but this time the sign was to be enacted by the beneficiary of the covenant. “And God said to Abraham, ‘As for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your offsp...
