Kosher Food Laws Framework

Advertisements

Flying creatures only have to be herbivores, and land creatures that were herbivores that chewed cud (regurgitated grass) and had split hooves were considered clean. Land and air creatures that were omnivores, carnivores, and scavengers were all classified as unclean. This may have been connected to why humans are forbidden from consuming blood as a moral sin in the Bible (Genesis 9:4, Leviticus 7:25-26, Leviticus 17:10-14, Leviticus 19:26, Deuteronomy 12:16, Deuteronomy 12:22-25, Deuteronomy 15:23, Acts 15:20 & 29). What if animals that eat meat (who consume blood) are classified as sinful in a sense because they don’t drain the blood? Land creatures are even further distinguished by their anatomy (split hooves), which may provide clues into their digestive processes. For example, rabbits are cud chewers, but they also eat their dung, which may be viewed as unclean.

The Greatest Marriage Proposal

Advertisements

Why does God give us a choice in the first place? Doesn’t he want absolute obedience? If he wished for absolute obedience, then he would have made us robots, pre-programmed to say ‘I love you’. The Bible often compares God’s covenant relationship to human ones, such as a parent to a child (Creator to creation) and a husband to a wife (God to His people). Most people can understand the view of God as a Father, but seeing God as a husband seems strange to some. What is the difference between the two kinds of relationships?

Satan’s True Agenda

Advertisements

In recent years, subliminal messaging in various media has promoted the idea that Satan works for God as an executioner of God’s judgment rather than against God’s will. It’s even accepted by some that Satan is a misunderstood victim of God’s wrath rather than an enemy that will receive punishment on Judgment Day. If that’s true, then why was Jesus sent to defeat him?

The Four Horsemen in Bible Prophecy

Advertisements

What are the four horsemen of the apocalypse? Some people claim that the “four horsemen of the apocalypse” represent Communism (red), Catholicism (white), Islam (pale/green), and Capitalism (black). However, the Bible already defined what each horse means. If the Bible gives a parable or metaphor and then explains it, there should be no speculation because an explanation is already provided. The four horsemen represent exactly what the Bible says they represent, and nothing more.

Resurrection in Matthew 27:51–53

Some people believe that the resurrection in Matthew 27:51-53 was a resurrection of Old Testament saints who were then raptured into heaven when Jesus ascended. However, other scriptures contradict this, and I believe there is a better explanation of what happened.

Christians and the Sabbath

Advertisements

Should Christians observe the Sabbath? Some Christians adhere to first-day Sabbatarianism, viewing Sunday as the Christian Sabbath, while others maintain the traditional view that Saturday is the Sabbath, known as seventh-day Sabbatarians. Meanwhile, others view both days as equally valuable because Saturday is the true Sabbath and Sunday is Resurrection Day. This is why we have a two-day weekend. In fact, in Latin, Saturday is called “Sabat,” which is based on the Hebrew word for rest (Sabbath), and Sunday is called “Dominus,” which means “Lord,” so it represents the Lord’s Day. This even carries over to modern Latin-based languages, such as Spanish. In Spanish, Saturday is called Sabadó, and Sunday is called Él Domingo. This implies that for the early church, both days were valuable.

Nephilim, Giants, and Demons

Advertisements

What are demons? The Bible describes them as unclean spirits, but what exactly is an unclean spirit? Are there Giants in the Bible? Where did they come from? Are they the angel-human hybrids? Who are the fallen angels? Why are they called Sons of God? Are they angels, the sons of God (a divine council), or giants? Are they connected to demons somehow?

Love vs Fear – Overcoming Sin

Jesus said the greatest commandment was “to love God with all of your heart, soul, and strength” (Matt 22:34-40) In addition, Jesus said, “if you love me you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15). It’s not possible to keep any of the commandments until you do the greatest one first.

Being Born Again

Advertisements

In John 3:1-15, Jesus tells Nicodemus that one must be born again to enter the Kingdom. Nicodemus’s response was asking how he would go back into his mother’s womb and be born again. He is not dense; he knows this is a metaphor, but he responds to its application. Nicodemus, a Pharisee and a well-trained religious leader, knew that Jesus didn’t mean being born again literally. He would have been familiar with Ezekiel 36:26-27, which prophesies the coming of the Holy Spirit to transform people’s hearts. That is the spiritual rebirth process itself, and the only people who receive the Holy Spirit are those who receive it from Jesus by believing in Him (John 14:15-17, Romans 8:5-11). This is why, in John 3:16-21, Jesus says that only those who believe in Him receive eternal life, while others receive condemnation. Eternal Life is only given to those whom the Holy Spirit transforms.

He First Loved Us

Advertisements

When asked by the Pharisees which is the greatest commandment, in Matt 22:34-40, Jesus replied, “Loving God with all of your heart, soul, and strength”. This is the “Shema” from Deuteronomy 6:4-5, which states, “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.” Additionally, it is said, “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18).

1 John 4:19  says we should love God because he first loved us. When did he first love us? John 3:16 says God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, the Messiah, and those who believe in him will inherit the blessing of eternal life. This eternal life is the fulfillment of the promise to restore humanity from our propensity to break God’s laws. This was made available because of God’s love for us.
