No offence meant. Merely pointing the fact that socail law is based on punishment plus GOD's law. The ten commandments

Okay, I asked a question a day ago about the use of the word obeisance in the Greek Scriptures.

Many of the witnesses who responded said the the greek word Proskyneo which is sometimes translated worship, can be used to signify respect such as the "kissing of ones hand".

I FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF THIS.

Assuming that the word Proskyneo is translated wither "worship" or "obeisance". This is what I have found:

The word "worship" appears 36 times in the NT of the New World Translation. Of the 35 times "proskyneo" was translated worship, There is NO INSTANCE where the word was not used to denote actual "worship", rather it be to God or to a false god.

I also found that the word Proskyneo was translated "obeisance" 19 times in the NT. Of those 19 times 16 of these were directed towards Jesus. The remainding 3 were as follows:
1 to Jehovah
1 Cornelius to Peter (Where Peter told him "Do not do that")
1 Those from Synogogue of Satan to Congregation Of Philidelphia

.


how many of you really tasted the effect of the forgiveness of sins, (ie what was Redemption Accomplished at Calvary by the Lord Jesus at Calvary) brought by the blessed Holy Spirit effectually into your life? ?


don't all rush and jump into this. Think carefully - There was 603550 male Israelites came out with Moses, and only two from the first generation (Ie Joshua and Caleb) made it into the Promised Land. Except perhaps for Moses, Aaron and Miriam, the others DIED in unbelief (Ps 95, 105, 106, Heb 3).


Now what makes you think you indeed experience the effectual working of the Holy Spirit in your life, that you are counted as if 5 out of the 603550 rather than the vast majority who is in the Church in the wilderness (Acts 7:38)??

If you believe in Intelligent Design, do you believe that the 'creator' behind it is:
1) The Jewish/Christian/Muslim god?
2) Another deity or deities?
3) An entity we yet know nothing about?

Please answer only if you believe in ID. This is a serious poll, thank you.

I get so many answers about what happens when you die

Some CHRISTIANS say you sleep... forever
Some say you sleep until Jesus's second coming
Some say you go right to judgment but those who did not know Jesus will sleep till his second coming
Some say you go right to judgment
Some say their is a heaven but hell is just an eternal sleep

Proof/Explanation - Christians
Thanks

Well, I'm an Atheist who loves to hear religious debate. I keep an open mind, but I am sensible. I believe in science and also try to be a logical thinker. I used to be a christian until I started studying theology in my spare time. I think it is funny how most religious people when approached about the existence of god say to prove he doesnt exist. But like in court, in order to prove that something happened the duty of evidence lies with the prosecution. (you are saying god is real with no evidence supporting that claim.) Well, that's not really a good start on trying to convert someone, so I was wondering if anyone else wanted to try a different approach.
Now if anyone gets on here and starts ranting, remember christians, it's your duty to bring the lost sheep back to the lord, not drive them away. lol.
So does anyone wanna try to convert me? Go ahead, I'll listen if you make a good point.

Mary the mother of Jesus, while in the upper room in Acts Ch1 - what do you think she is doing? leading the prayer meetings etc.... or what?

My understanding: In obedience to the word of God, she had head covering ( 1 Cor 11 ) on, and kept silent in the presence of men (1 Cor 14:34-35, 1Tim 2:12). What a beauty of grace, even if the sisters had done so today. Here we have another glimpse of the life of Mary in the book of Acts.


Do you think she led in the prayer meetings, as what some of the roman catholics said? ?

What greater sacrifice could Jesus have done.He was beaten 39 times until His back turned to shreds.They smashed a crown of thorns on His head.He carried the cross.They put spikes in His wrists and feet.They spit on Him.
They mocked Him.They humiliated Him.He was on the cross for 6 hours. HE CARRIED EVERY SINGLE SIN THAT MAN EVER COMMITTED ON HIS BACK.AND HE COULD OF BEEN WITH GOD SITTING UP IN GREAT LUXURY.BUT HE CHOOSE TO LOVE US AND OBEY HIS FATHER.They put a sign over His Head (THE KING OF THE JEWS).HE DIED AND THEY TOOK A SPEAR AND RUN IT THROUGH HIS RIGHT SIDE . Source(s) BLOOD AND WATER CAME OUT.WHEN IT HIT THE GROUND THE SKY TURNED DARK.THEN THERE WAS A GREAT EARTQUAKE,AND A ROMAN SOLDIER YELLED OUT (((((((((SURELY HE WAS THE SON OF GOD))))))))))))).

And all we have to do Is believe.Ask Jesus to forgive our sins
And ask Him to come into our heart.And have a loving relationship with Jesus.He did all the work.Because of mans sins.

How come I come on here and see the same old bickering back and forth all the day long? Why can't we just give a little both ways. Christians: I know your supposed to evangelize, but you should be evangelizing to people who have never HEARD of the bible. Your average American has seen your lofty churches and you guys wearings your crosses, and probably even dabbled in reading the bible. Unless your ready to go on a mission to Uganda or Chile your more than likely going to change no ones mind. Atheists: Why must you answer questions that obviously are no where near addressed to you? Yeah yeah, that whole freedom of speech thing. Or, just because you can. Don't you get pissed off when Christians answer questions aren't meant for them in a rude way? So what? Does this tit for tat go on until the 2nd coming happens or the world gets hit by a meteor? (I'm not taking any sides I think both parties are wronging each other - So don't attack me)

I see this word A LOT. I would like to have a discussion on exactly what people mean when they use this word. Is it a place? A state of mind? A hallucination? Just looking for some clarification.

This question could apply to the term 'hell' as well.

how long would you love vanities and continue to live a life consistent with the world to lie to the poor children about Santa and Christmas? ?

Are you not prepared to repent, forsake Christmas and tell your children, nephews and niece the truth about Christmas and its pagan origin? If you truly love the LORD, would you not be liar this Christmas? ? John 14:15 If ye love Me, keep My commandments.

Why are the people on this site so obsessed with Atheist? They are constantly asking questions like "Why do Atheist eat Capt'n Crunch" and "Why are Atheist so smart". It seems like they are more concerned with Atheistism than their own religion.
