Dont see how OT & NT agree & Q about Jesus

Image
Q: I've read the Old Testament and the New Testament and from what I grasp, they don't seem to agree. According to the Old Testament Israel is God's son, Israel is to be a nation of priests, they are God's chosen people, and there is no Savior but God. Yet according to the New Testament Jesus is the son, believers are priests, believers are the chosen ones, and Jesus is the Savior. Help! A: Your pastor or Sunday school teacher is the first place you should go to to ask a Bible question. To help you today tho ☺️, here is a summary guide.  Israel spoke Hebrew, Romans spoke Greek. Jesus Redeemer Title in Hebrew is Messiah , in Greek it is Christ . So you as a non Israelite/non Jew, likely wouldn't realize that when you read the Bible in English... those are both the same word. The difference also is the OT shrouds him in mystery, the NT reveals him openly.  At the right time in mans timeline Jesus came.  Galatians 4:4-5 tells us, "But when the set time had fully...

Help for a Muslim being lured to join a cult

Image
Am a white & muslim. I want to become Jehovah Witness. Can someone help me, I want to give my life to Christ. A: You wont find God or salvation in a cult group. What you need is what biblical  Christianity offers.  What all humans need is to be made right with God, and to know why Jesus is the answer. This is the Gospel of truth that God calls us to obey/embrace, (short video). Why Christianity ? Why JW and Mormons are NOT Christian?  They deny the Essentials of Scripture and teach doctrines of demons.  What are the Essentials of Christianity according to the Bible?  After you go through the above, I hope you turn to Christ and are born again.✝️ ⭐Here are resources for new and growing believers to help guide you in the beginning and help you grow well in the faith.  God bless. Take care of the above first 👆 and tgen if by chance, you want to look further at these false religions, here are helps we share, to reach those in those false r...

Bf turned to God & intimacy stopped

Q:  My boyfriend has redirected himself to God (after 10 years). This means he's stopped being intimate with me, saying we should "wait until marriage". I don't understand - as someone who wasn't raised religious. I'm also trying to understand the ways of the Bible, but I'm feeling so lost at times. I just want to be intimate with him and show our love for each other. It's very hard not having that after we did for a year and a half. He keeps directing me to the story of Job, where🙃 I also keep opening up to every time I open a Bible. I understand that Job went through great turmoil (just like in my life) and that he still stood for God but I just can't find salvation in me. Any advice or anything would be appreciated. I'm trying so hard. A: Hopefully this will help. In a nutshell... *Believers cannot be in a relationship with non believers. *We live in a fallen world so yes all kinds of bad and sad things happen to all of us (because o...

Being at Church & actively part of that (local church) community matters

Image
This resource addresses a major problem of professing believers today about importance of corporate gathering. There is much more here that can educate and bless you, and help save you a lot of pain in faq section too.  Redeemed Believers need to be in Church Being an active member in Church, matters .  Actively being in the Church matters for many many reasons Church attendance & being a member is not optional. Being a member of a local congregation matters.  It is the people of God whom we will be with eternally. Brethren adopted by God into a new eternal family. This is our family.  We are set apart by God, for him and His glory. It is communal. It is not something you participate in by tv or by vr. It is not a solo activity. It is a gathered people for a purpose. The assembly of God.  We are to edify, build one another up in the faith, and serve God and others in the local congregation.  It is a living breathing community (co...

Book of Enoch?

Enoch Q:  Why are most Christians against the book of enoch? I know some believe that it contradicts the bible, but can't seem to find a good answer. A: 1. If it contradicts the bible then it isn't God's word. You kind of answered your own question. 2. Apocryphal books are not Scripture; not the Word of God.  3. Just because someone calls it similar to something we see in black and white in the Bible - doesnt make (what appears real) to be it "that" thing.  4. What Does Scripture say? “Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones” ‭‭Jude‬ ‭1‬:‭14 5. What else do we need to realize using critical thinking skills and logic?  Jude’s quotation does not mean the Book of Enoch is inspired by God or that it should be in the Bible. In fact - it doesnt even mean that book in Apocrapha was even Enoch's book/writings.  The Book of Enoch that you’re mentioning was written centuries after Enoch...
