    They are no longer biblical "Jews" but gentiles since Christ abolished circumcision. All of the promises (they forfeited) are yes in Christ (if he turns them into believers).

    Paul says they are under wrath until the end of the world. If you help them, are you helping Satan? And suffer along with them in God's wrath?

    The book of Galatians was written at a time when Paul was being gaslighted by unsaved judaizers who since the new faith was a sect of Judaism, wanted to take the group under its control. By forcing followers of Yeshua to become circumcised that would have brought the believers under the control of the Sanhedrin because they would have insisted Torah observance.

    In Acts 15 Paul takes Titus to Jerusalem as a test case to see if perhaps he was teaching an error. Upon leaving the elders in Jerusalem Paul is told that his gospel was identical to theirs and that circumcision was not mandatory in order to follow Christ. Therefore he leaves Titus a gentile, uncircumcised. Timothy was half Jewish and chose to identify with his Jewish side thus Paul circumcised Timothy but not Titus?

    The reason for this is simple; The Abrahamic Covenant was still in effect for the Jews even if they became church members. The token of the Abrahamic Covenant is circumcision. Although the Mosaic Covenant required circumcision, the token of the law was the sabbath not circumcision. Timothy a Jewish believer was circumcised in obedience to the command of the Abrahamic Covenant.

    The other part of this is that one witness might have seen the body with guts asunder, while the other noticed the rope and the branch with the rope remnant on it.

    His name is similar to another king of Salem (or Jerusalem) when the Israelites came up from Egypt to take Canaan. "Adonizedek", which means "the Lord is Righteous", or something like that.

    Remember that God gave the Canaanites 400 years to repent, and they instead went the other way. If Adonizedek was either descended from Melchizedek, or his line became kings after, his response to the incoming Israelites was not near the same as Melchizedek's response to Abraham.

    Where are the difficult Bible questions? What was the purpose of this thread? Merely to pose doubt about God's perfectly inspired and preserved words? Does the author of the OP actually think there are real contradictions in the Bible (KJB)?

    I assume by "you" 'you' meant me, and thus, I conclude that 'you' think I am not "saved"? If so, what evidence led 'you' to this 'conclusion'?

    Depends on what you mean by the word "sex".

    Do you mean the English word and definition of gender, of male to female?

    Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.​

    Do you mean the Latin word for the number 6:

    Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

    Gen 1:31 viditque Deus cuncta quae fecit et erant valde bona et factum est vespere et mane dies sextus​

    Do you mean the word for martial, and extra-marital (outside of marriage) relations between persons?

    Gen_4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.​

    If you died today and God asked you why you should go to heaven what would you say?

    I didn't die today, and I don't play silly "what if" games, and secondly, people when they die don't go straight to Heaven, they return to dust and await their respective resurrection. God promised in His word, and I "Amen" His word.

    I think you are grossly (that is to say dismally and woefully) ignorant of scripture (KJB).

    The saved depart from their bodies to go either to heaven with Jesus, while the lost go to Hades awaiting final judgement!

    I understand that the Samoan psych is to reverence their elders especially parents and religious leaders. Sadly you have been indoctrinated by the Seventh Day Advent Church who at one time taught that not going to church on Saturday would lose one’s salvation. That is why it is viewed as a cult because no where in scripture does it teach this, it was an invention of the SDA.

    This simple question would’ve answered your question of if I were speaking about your salvation, I was. Unless you can prove to me that you are saved I have to reject you as a co-believer.

    The sad reality is that many parents die unsaved. As much as we loved them we must put God above them.

    The word for sex in Hebrew is ahavah which is the Hebrew word for love. There are words for fornicatin and adultery but there is no Hebrew word for sex because it is viewed as the love action between the husband and wife (or wives) being understood as “knowing” each other.
