Could you be more specific? Your question is kinda like what does your school teach about science.

As it stands I feel like saying sin is bad so don’t do it.
 
Firstly I love the smiley after you shouted at me. 😛
I am incredibly unimpressed with his methods of getting my attention if he is. I don’t want him to force me. I don’t want a guy to kidnap me and carry me in a burlap sack to prom, but I do want him to ask me in person face to face, not whispered across the classroom.

How can I know? I’m curious.
Maybe, all of us right here on CAF are here for a reason. Perhaps He purposely called us to dialogue that we may better know Him, and show love and charity to each other?

Nice to meet you, sister!🙂

FYI: I was NOT shouting; emphasis only My bad:)

God CAN [emphasis not shouting] do anything, but what you ask is totally unreasonable:rolleyes: You want God to do it your way; GOD wants YOU to do it HIS way.

Isaiah chapter.29: verse 16 ” You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be regarded as the clay; that the thing made should say of its maker, “He did not make me”; or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding”?

So do you believe in God? Why or why not?

God Bless you,
Patrick
 
Hi:)

Its been quite awhile since we have shared our beliefs,

I am well aware of your customs and traditions regarding sin. But because your still seeking the Messiah you all miss the New Covenant and it’s new, and perfected Laws.

God the Messiah/ Jesus Christ Bless and guide you:thumbsup:

Patrick
You’re probably aware that the Hebrew Bible says time and again that the Law is for eternity; there are no rewrites. Even the use of the term “new Law” to be instituted during the Messianic age is meant, given its context, in the sense of “renewed” or “reinforced” rather than “new” or “different.” According to Judaism, there is no getting around this since G-d does not make mistakes, give incomplete, imperfect instructions, or change His mind.

The younger generations almost can’t read anything in all caps without hearing it as a angry shout.

The split seems to be for people born after 1975 and who grew up with the ability to be online.

Some older folk, too…
it’s a turn off and can take away from the question/debate/discussion at hand…
but back to the discussion…

I am telling you it’s just what people of my generation think when they see all caps. Putting emphasis on whole sentences is not helpful either. I will relate it to when you see someone with a highlighted book and there is hardly any text that is not highlighted.

Also can you respond to my ? I was wondering if you could make your question more specific.

Would there be an understanding, though, of the differing covenants? As I understand it, the commands given to Noah would stand as a specific covenant, and then there is the Mosaic covenant. Are these two not different in who they cover and what it takes to uphold the human side of the covenant?

Indeed, my brother.

In this environment (Internet forum), CAPS indicate that you are shouting in regards to internet etiquette. For emphasis, bold works better.

Peace be with you my friend.

It was just too much emphasis in one place I guess. If God loves me he can pick up my godphone. It’s not unreasonable considering he’s supposed to be omnipotent and love me so much.
I honor my Gods because they called me to do so. I honor them because I’m not desperately shooting myself up with spiritual morphine anymore. I honor them because they are my friends. Yahweh specifically I’m not sure but that doesn’t bother me over much. I believe trying to live a good, honorable, and happy life should get me where I need to go and if not the system is broken.
 
=meltzerboy;11647284]In Judaism, sin is a personal matter in the sense that we atone for our sins by means of prayer and reparations toward the injured party. G-d does not expect perfection from us but rewards us for making the effort to improve, even in small increments, as reflected by the changes in our lives. In a way, sinning can bring us closer to G-d than we had been before having sinned.
Its been so long since we have discussed anything so I forget. Do you accept the bible? In total or conditionally?

God Bless you,
patrick

So dear friend:)

You insist on doing it YOUR way [emphasis] 😃

Ask yourself this ONE question:

Who’s in charge of MY life; me or God? Ad the responsibility can’t be split or shared?

Isaiah 43: 7 & 21
“And every one that calleth upon my name,** I have created him for my glory,** I have formed him, and made him & This people have I formed for myself, [that] they shall shew forth my praise”

**Isaiah 63:15 **“Look down from heaven and see, from thy holy and glorious habitation. Where are thy zeal and thy might? The yearning of thy heart and thy compassion are withheld from me. For thou art our Father, though Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us; thou, O LORD, art our Father, our Redeemer from of old is thy name. O LORD, why dost thou make us err from thy ways and harden our heart, so that we fear thee not? Return for the sake of thy servants, the tribes of thy heritage… We have become like those over whom thou hast never ruled, like those who are not called by thy name. “

Continued Blessings my freind:thumbsup:

Well the Catholics say the same thing but only about their rules.

Please don’t use your religious text in interfaith debate. It’s great if its another Christian, but anyone else its rather silly. It’s arguing about Star Wars by citing Gone With The Wind.

My dear friend in Christ;

are you saying that the bible ought not be used in an “interreligious debate”:eek:

religion refers to God and the bible is God’s divine Word. Amen:D

God Bless you.

May I inquire as to your goal for being here on CAF?

GREAT comeback:D

But if God can’t make mistakes [which we agree on]

The the bible in its entirety ought to be valid right?

God Bless,

:banghead:

I think it can be used but I’m not about to base my religious decisions on YOUR religious text.
I want to see and give opposing opinions I think its a very healthy exercise. Plus I get bored very easily and debate keeps me engaged.
 
If God loves me he can pick up my godphone. It’s not unreasonable considering he’s supposed to be omnipotent and love me so much.
Then you would be compelled to love him.

God does not want that.

God wants you to put your faith in him and gives you just enough light so you can see him, but not too much light that you could do nothing except love him.

What you demand sounds to me just like a lover demanding, “If you love me so much, I want you to call up your boss and tell him you are quitting so you can spend all of your time with me. Do it! Or else you don’t really love me.”
