Hebrew Gospels
Posted : 17 Feb, 2021 02:52 PM

If i recall correctly, Irenaeus and Origen both said Matthew's Gospel was originally written in Hebrew. The Vatican supposedly has an ancient Hebrew New Testament in their library, but it isn't available to the public eye. The Hebrew Shem Tob is translated from Greek, so it isn't original. Reading the Bible in it's original language, context, and culture can change our beliefs about Christianity.

Gender Roles
Posted : 24 Jan, 2021 11:08 AM

What are your thoughts on Biblical gender roles? Dress code? Hairstyles? Should jobs and tasks be gender based? Are men the leaders of their families, or is marriage an equal partnership? Should education be different for boys and girls? These days the genders are blurred more than ever it seems. How do we live and raise children according to God's plan for the roles of men and women?

Works won't Save
Posted : 24 Jan, 2021 10:58 AM

Moonlight, I'm not sure if your message is for someone, or if it's just something you wanted to say. I understand the Bible from a Jewish perspective so let me add my thoughts on what it means to be "under the Law".



We are not saved by works, but good works are evidence of our faith. James said "Faith without works is dead". We are supposed to be free from sin, not free to sin. John said "Sin is the trangression of the Law". Paul said, "Do we make void the Law because of faith? God forbid. Verily, we establish the Law." Yeshua said "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I came not to abolish, but to fulfill."



We are not "under the Law", because salvation is not earned by works. Certain jews thought salvation was earned only by perfect observance of the Law. Paul said no. That doesn't give Christians "freedom" to lie, steal, murder, fornicate, and every other sin because we are saved by grace. You don't have to be Jewish to be saved, but don't judge those who keep the Commandments. I'm not trying to put anyone "under the Law".

Scenario: your wife was just grilled by your atheist eldery parents, for being Christian. Your reaction?

Leave and cut off the relationship with atheist parents. I had a similar situation myself. Your childen's salvation is heavily influenced by their grandparents.

You Need to Control Your Wife!
Posted : 15 Dec, 2020 06:29 PM

Ivy, have you actually read the Bible? You may not like to hear it but God said to Eve "Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you." This is repeated all throughout the Bible in various ways. Men are to be the head (leader) of the household. Sarah even called Abraham "lord" and was commended for it in the New Testament. "Let the wife be in subjection to her husband", "Wives, submit to your husbands, as to the Lord", "The husband is head(leader) of his wife, even as Christ is head (leader) of the church", etc, etc, etc.



Most Christian women do not have a problem with this commandment from God (actually most women regardless of religion, it's in their nature). But Ivy, it's very obvious that you have an authority problem. You are rebellious. You are teaching women to rebel against their husbands and against God. I speak for a lot of us on the site when I say we are all very tired of you attempting to teach us. You and a few others are flooding the forums with garbage. Just stop it already.



The idea of male and female "partnership" is a heathen mindset. It is contrary to the Word of God.

Ivy, you need a husband, and yes, he needs to control you.

Beware of Scams
Posted : 14 Dec, 2020 04:08 PM

If a person...



* Won't talk on the phone or video phone

* Won't share photos

* Mentions anything about inheritance money

* Uses an app called "Text Now"

* Gets angry or sad if you ask them if they are a scammer

* Is too good to be true



Then they are a fake profile and a con artist. Don't be fooled. Thankfully I have not lost any money to these thieves but they seem to be all over free dating sites. Report them if you suspect they are fake.



Remember to always look up photos with an image search engine such as tineye. I'm surprised how many photos are of prostitutes from porn sites.



Be careful everyone and God bless.
