When Jesus and the twelve disciples sat down for the Last Supper, all of them including, Jesus were Jews. All of them, as far as I can tell were brought up in traditional Jewish homes, which observed the laws of the Torah. Since this group of Jewish men would have had knowledge of Kosher Laws regarding contact with blood. Why do you think that not one of them objected to being offered a cup of blood and human flesh (even symbolically). I think that the whole idea of ingesting the offered blood and body would have been anathema to them. All of the arguments about Jesus coming to change the law would not overcome a lifetime of religious training. Any ideas?

Someone told me that there is a verse in the Bible about all sin being the same. Is this so and if so then how does that work? If I lie am I the same as someone who commits murder in the eyes of God?

Do we mere mortals have the potential to be like God - or is it blasphemy to consider that?

Do you think life and death just happen, do you believe a higher power is involved, or do you believe our life is "designed" ahead of time , or our course is plotted out before us.

So...... Once you have went to the altar and been "saved" does that mean that you are always saved? No matter what you do in life you will still go to heaven? If so, then even rapsit, child molesters, murderers, thieves, and everyone in between will go to heaven as long as they have been saved?
THIS IS TRULY A ???? I WANT TO KNOW WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK. I AM NOT JUDGING ANYONE.

I've heard many people remark that they find the Bible confusing and hard to understand.

Is there anything specific (actual reference, please) - within the Bible that you do not understand "at all"??

2006-06-14 15:21:08 · 4 answers · asked by redglory 5

I'm seriously asking this question. What references in the Bible (i want you to literally name them) which lead you to believe in this?

I'm not Catholic, and I honestly want to know why Catholics believe in purgatory.

I know a lot of people who are religious and go to church and yet they don't live by the teachings of whatever church they belong to. They treat people terrbily, spread rumors, and are prejudiced against those who don't have they same beliefs as they do. And yet there are some people who don't go to church and declare themselves atheists but are kind and respectful to other people.

Have you looked up the word Gentiles? Gentiles

whence Eng., "heathen," denotes, firstly, "a multitude or company;" then, "a multitude of people of the same nature or genus, a nation, people;" it is used in the singular, of the Jews, e.g., Luk_7:5; Luk_23:2; Joh_11:48, Joh_11:50-52; in the plural, of nations (Heb., goiim) other than Israel, e.g., Mat_4:15; Rom_3:29; Rom_11:11; Rom_15:10; Gal_2:8; occasionally it is used of gentile converts in distinction from Jews, e.g., Rom_11:13; Rom_16:4; Gal_2:12, Gal_2:14; Eph_3:1.


originally denoted the early descendants of Thessalian Hellas; then, Greeks as opposed to barbarians, Rom_1:14. It became applied to such Gentiles as spoke the Greek language, e.g., Gal_2:3; Gal_3:28. Since that was the common medium of intercourse in the Roman Empire, Greek and Gentile became more or less interchangeable terms. For this term the RV always adheres to the word "Greeks," e.g., Joh_7:35; Rom_2:9-10; Rom_

What would cause humans to go there. Should humans avoid it. Should humans want to go to heaven instead.
