Where is this found in Scripture? Hi Lula, Whoops, my bad. There is no mention of Jesus having a barmitzvah in Jerusalem, in fact that probably happened the day after his thirteenth birthday. Aeryck.
A-D., This seems to be a useful resource for Old Testament Bible History. Enjoy! Plus Sketches of Jewish social life link Plus The Temple - its ministry and services link Aeryck.
Here is some additional tabakee for your pipe.... What does the Bible say against celebrating birthdays? NOTHING! Is it pagan to celebrate a birthday? NO! Has anyone proven birthday celebrations began with pagans? NO! Will you go to hell for celebrating your birthday? NO! Is it a sin to celebrate your New Birth in Christ on its annual day? NO! Is it a lie to teach the Bible is against celebrating birthdays? YES!<B
Celebrating the birth of a child is one thing I was referring to birthdays (beginning with 1st birthday). A-D, In all this time did you think of doing a little searching of your own ? Try Google 'Birthday party in the Bible'. I found an answer to your intial question:
Some kewl passages about Jesus. And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. (Luke 2:40) Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and
Can anyone show in scripture where anyone is celebrating their birthday? 'And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshiped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myr
Zoo 2:14 Very Gnostic indeed. :LOL:
Is that your way of calling me stupid? If your theory is a deliberate attempt at a wisecrack, it has grown a little old TW. If not then I really think a basic course English Lit. might enable one to differentiate between different writings styles. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Quote-Ta
To be 'born anew", then is to be baptized Do you know that because you got wet on the outside, or because you got.........hahahahaha.... O woman at the well ?
Pure comedy GOLD. Now all you need to do is take a course in adult education. Aeryck.
Christ's Church, the Catholic Chruch IS the Mystical Body of Christ Sorry Lula, The law of non-contradition totally demolishes that type 'crutch reasoning.' Goodnight. Aeryck.
there is no possible way that every individual's private interpretation of SS can be CORRECT. Only the Roman Catholic interpretation of SS is absolutely correct. Hence according to the law of non-contradiction EVERYONE ELSE IS NOT. Now if you were part of the Body of Christ, you would already
Yes, I most certainly did. Lighten up Lula, I was just enjoying your spelling mistake. Jesus does'nt need crutches because He has perfectly good legs of His own. <TD class="mb-Body-Quot
And you and I Today......?
a Church You said, 'sent the Catholic Church' The Holy Bible calls the Church and not itself, the "pillar and ground of the Truth Oh, you are s
and do you have this 'Spirit of truth?' Many Sunday School teachers make a fine job and interpreting Scripture but without the Spirit of truth, they soon distort the truth and even suppress it. You see unless there is a change inside the person, it matters not how good a scholar you are. Yes, the inte
so are you of the opinion this isn't the case? Many Sunday School teachers make a fine job and interpreting Scripture but without the Spirit of truth, they soon distort the truth and even suppress it. You see unless there is a change inside the person, it matters not how good a scholar you are. Yes,
Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit. (Jeremiah 2:11) Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. (Galatians 4:8)
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. Yes, there does seem to be this matter that some will not come unto Him that they might have life (Zoe = Christ's life in them = eternal life - 1 John, not John 1). Yet some do come to the Saviour, those whom the Father draws to Him and none shall p
God tells us not to have 'strange' gods before Him. Are there actually other gods ? not the man made variety....now according to the Bible, God is one...(then one reads the first commandment). Can we earthlings keep it ? No. Do some try ? Yes. Do they keep it perfectly ? No. Then comes Jesus and says, a new commandment, by which all men sh
Wow, see this is the problem I have with Christianity and, particularly, the subjective interpretations of the bible. Yeah, the Bible is like a spirit level used in building. The problem is that some folks are so crooked that eventually they start trying to alter the spirit level and mainly cause the Scripture is able to pierce our thoughts
Christ sent the Catholic Chruch Jesus does not need a Chruch(crutch) :LOL:
That's the one. 'For our God is a consuming fire.' (Hebrews 12:29) 'For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.' (Deuteronomy 4:24) Though Adam Clarke's Commentary seems to be a little bit extreme, it certainly makes a valid point: 'The apos
It is not enough to admit off-hand that God exists, and then ignore His definite claims. Like..."What does God say about other gods?" ;)
...didn't know God was so uptight Which uptight are you referring to...? uptight (overachiever) as in 'tense, nervous, or uneasy' or, uptight (conservative) as in 'rigidly conventional' If it is the latter which I suppose, please remember that you are talking about the one who wrote ten commandments into
