    Are you Going to Heaven?

    It's weird how people can see the allegory in one place but can't see it in another. While Yeshua stated that Heaven is within us, He didn't mean that Heaven is an esoteric peaceful condition of the mind but rather that the faith which we hold in our hearts, where God wrote His Law, is what...

    Are you Going to Heaven?

    There are most definitely absolutes in the art of baking. Salt out of the bread as well as the faith makes for blandness.

    Are you Going to Heaven?

    If one believes God exists then one must believe that Heaven exists.

    Are you Going to Heaven?

    Since when is Sod (PRDS) not part of Judaism? At the time of Elijah? Try at the time of Yeshua! Why do you think He was so angry with the P'rushim?

    Through the explanations of the sages (term used very loosely)...Talmud.

    Are you Going to Heaven?

    I'm amazed at some of the things you post. I guess you don't read the Midrash, Pesikta de-Rav Kahannah 1:4, Numbers Rabbah 19.8 or Leviticus Rabbah 24:3. Demon exorcism was most definitely of the faith of Yeshua. In Judaism, exorcism, performed in public or in the synagogue requires the...

    Are you Going to Heaven?

    Oh? Since when did you accept Yeshua HaMashiach? You enjoy misinterpreting that verse. The previous verse expains it. “Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they...

    Are you Going to Heaven?

    I am of the belief that water baptism, unlike Church of Christ doctrine, is not essential to enter heaven but rather an essential element of public faith, declaration and recognition of Yeshua and His work on the cross as a result of a heart change. In other words, it is an act of obedience...

    Are you Going to Heaven?

    There is a proviso to that: John 15:1-6 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to...

    Are you Going to Heaven?

    So, no loud music dancing games food fun drinking? Hmm, what say you about women covering their heads when they pray or prophesy? What say you about the decision of the Jerusalem Council? I'm just trying to get the gist of your "purpose." Do you think that "ungodly lusts" might also include...
