To me myself, the first Jew is Adam himself.

On another note, I want to say what Scripture teaches about Noah because I myself never fully considered Noah until Ken Ham stated somewhere what Genesis says about Noah:

Genesis 5:28-32 (KJV) And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son: And he called his name Noah, saying, This [same] shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed. And Lamech lived after he...

There will be two prophets, otherwise called the “two witnesses” of the book of Revelation, that will appear 3.5 years prior to the second coming of Yeshuah Messiah around the spring of 2023 AD and will die in Jerusalem. There exists a distinction between the “42 months” and “1,260 days” in Revelation, even though they both equate to the same time expressed differently, because one time is figurative and the other is literal, therefore, whatever is declared figuratively in months means each...

Hey everyone! I was reading through 2 Samuel 6 tonight and had some interesting thoughts I'd like to share and get your feedback on. In our church like many the debate of contemporary versus traditional style of music continues on. It is almost drawn down generational lines, almost, and most people are either all traditional or all contemporary too. So, here are the parts of the scripture that got me thinking on this path:
1- King David was seen by everyone dancing before God. He was so...

The debate between cessation and the continual of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is lacking a proper recognition that those who usually defend the continual gifts of the Holy Spirit are defending the other phenomenon known as the "second blessing" which has occurred later on in life of a believer as happening apart from salvation.

This "second blessing" is usually marked by the experience of feeling what they believe is the Holy Spirit coming over the believer apart from salvation, bringing...

The Apostle paul clearly gives to us Calvinistic theology regarding salvation in that chapter!
Ephesians 1:4-6

Hi,

I have been struggling to come to a decision on whether I should baptize my child he is 4 months old. I wouldn't be for the child baptism typically because I was baptized when I was 7 and I like lots of things about that. My wife was baptized as a baby and she wants to baptize our son. I have seeked doctrinal answers but I can't find a clear scripture that condems it. Do you know of any? Is it a big deal to baptize the baby? If the child wants to be baptized again when they are older so...

I thought the topic of enough importance to start a new thread.

In Matthew 25:46, the correct rendering of the verse is this: "And these shall go away into age-abiding correction, but the righteous into age-abiding life." Young's Literal translation has it thus: "And these shall go away to punishment age-during, but the righteous to life age-during." See this reference: Matthew 25:46 And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

Of all the...

Which groups/denominations/individuals would you consider to be teaching a false gospel? What are the elements that make up a false gospel?

Does the NT church include OT saints? My grandfather thought so. His position was historic premil. I followed my grandfather in this until I applied to my mission board in 1977, and had to write that I disagreed with their doctrinal statement where it said, "The church as peculiar to the age of grace." At the candidate committee, my friend said I came out after 2 hours, white as a sheet and sweating profusely. His interview only took ten minutes! So, they encouraged me to study out...
