Studying the bible

[doggy777777]

Are there any non bias study books on the bible?
(or books about Christianity in general?)

All the books I've seen are either "God is good" or "God is bad"..
I haven't found anything that leaves the final decision up to the reader.

[Heterodoxus]

over 2300 different christian religions

OK, I'll play. Name them.

And if you're wrong about that belief, then it sorta begs the question: what else are you wrong about?

[Bob Israel]

Are you contracting with me.lol
What name game ,you were not in the conversation. So what name game are you referring able.

When Yahshua confronts the Adversary, he defeats him by saying, "You shall live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of YAhweh, and Him alone will you serve."
Saul/Paul is only a test for the judgement!
Deuteronomy 13:3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for Yahweh your Elohim proveth you, to know whether ye love Yahweh your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul.

THE DIVINE TEST OF A TRUE APOSTLE OF YESHUA (JESUS) THE MESSIAH

Peter established a test for apostles:
"PETER said...therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us ALL THE TIME that Yahshua went in and out among us--BEGINNING WITH THE BAPTISM OF JOHN until THE DAY HE WAS TAKEN UP FROM US --one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection."


(NOTE: Because 'Paul', Barnabas, Timothy, Silvanus and others failed to meet the TEST, set by Peter they were "REJECTED BY ALL IN ASIA"; as acknowledged by 'Paul' and Timothy).

" This you know that ALL THOSE IN ASIA HAVE TURNED AWAY FROM ME "
(2 Tim. 1:15).

First before quoting Apostle Paul at me,Prove that Paul is an Apostle according to this offer.

Paul can not witness for themself - as scripture says ,two or three witness are require for the scripture to proven.Matthew 18:16

1. none of Paul's writngs can not be used.
2. Dr luke the student of Paul can not be used.
3.Hebrews can not be used it is believe to be written by Paul or one of his student.
4. 2 Peter can not be used because it was changed to look as if Peter was supporting Paul. Infact its believe Paul wrote this book of the Bible.


Now, prove Paul either with Torah or the 12 real Apostles.

My prove that Paul is an anti-messiah:

Paul to the Ephesus, - I AM AN APOSTLE Acts 19:1;Rom 1:1;1 cor1:1

Ephesus to Paul - no your not

2 Timothy 1:15–18 (ESV)
15 You are aware that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16 May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains, 17 but when he arrived in Rome he searched for me
...

Yahshua to the Ephesus, - WELL DONE!

Revelation 2:1Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

2I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

3And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

Now most of them have other branches which seperated because of different beliefs,Yes all them. Now, even with in their own order they fight about different beliefs,I remember when I was caught in the middle of some topic several different groups were arguing about what was the truth within their own belief system. How bad was the difference in their beliefs ,well when I was growing up I heard the mothers often saying your child was @@@@@ back and forward because they belong to a different church.
Roman Catholic Church
Beliefs
Jesus is god
Mother Church
Changed the fourth commandment (they admit doing this ,it's called the Pope's day).
Infact ,they tell the others that they own them; because the only authority for the change of the fourth commandment is Rome. So, I agree and all the others are disrepecting their Pope.

[cnorman18]

Is there some reason we should accept your analysis and reject all others?

Why is your Church the only pure and true one? Don't they all make that claim? Do we reject all the canons of Scripture that have preceded your judgments, and throw out Paul and three-quarters of the New Testament?

When a Jew does this - stands up and declares that all other Jews throughout the ages have been wrong about virtually everything, and declares that HIS understanding should take precedence over all the wisdom and traditions of the past - we just roll our eyes and ignore him. That doesn't mean we're locked into those traditions; Judaism continues to change and develop and evolve, just as it has for 4,000 years or thereabouts. But one doesn't dismiss it lightly, and revision comes from the consensus of the community, not from individuals who claim to be holier and more spiritually enlightened and superior and wiser than the rest of us. THAT'S the cause of the eye-rolling.

I can only speak for myself, but my eyes tend to roll at every one of your posts. Of course, as a Jew, they're irrelevant to me anyway; the New Testament is not a matter of interest to Jews, and I don't particularly care if you think Paul is an apostle or not.

[Heterodoxus]

Bob Israel: my goodness, how you do go on!

Now, from your list, please identify just one group that is or was NOT a branch of the Christian Church?

[center][/center]

[Bob Israel]

First off your asumption I belong to a church is wrong.
The asumption YHWH's kingdom is a religion is wrong.
As for Paul you should want to know who was responsible for 2000 years of war, and who changed YHWH word.
The Torah is to come out of Jerusalem and not out of any religion.
Infact the shape of Jerusalem is the shape of the 21 hebrew letter!!!
That in itself is a great sign about Jerusalem,Amein.
And, you yourself should know the only word which counts is YHWH.

And, when an Ephraimite goes out to fight[that to stand up for YHWH] ,Judah was told to remain in his house and not attack Ephraim.

The reason neither a hebrew gentile and Judah can not understand what Yahshua said was he was cut off,in his message, in his Father's word.

Plus Yahshua was not his name as he said he came in his Father's name.
The claim the Father was in Yahshua as ;Yahshua was in the Father,is because
YHWH is Spirit and what is that Spirit - Wisdom, Understanding and Knowledge!
Which was taken from the learn and given to the unlearn!

Now Israelites are not all Jews, there are 12 tribes to the Kingdom of YHWH.

Just as the Christian confuse that Yahshua preached gospel of the Kingdom.

Jews seem to forget their are 12 tribes,which will re-unite as the Kingdom of YHWH,which is YISRAEL.
Amein

[Bob Israel]

Well, here we go asumption religion keeps changing because they do not hear the word of Yahweh. How did Yahshua say it ,you read the scripture because in them you think, you have eternal life and they testify of Him. So when he said this , there was no new Testament. He aslo said the law and the Prophets.

Than Yahshua said the only word he spoke was from the Father,and that is who He proclaim to us ,so we would listen too- YAHWEH!!!

You will like his clip on youtube in is a very important discovery in Jerusalem:



So, what is the little book which both Jew and Gentile are to listen ;before any one else!!! TORAH

Amein
Bob

[Bob Israel]

So is the temple ground in the hands of Judah?

[McCulloch]

O wad some power the giftie gie us,
To see oursel’s as ithers see us!
It wad frae mony a blunder free us,
An' foolish notion.

Freely translated:

• O wouldn't it be great if we could,
  See ourselves as others see us!
  It would free us from many blunders,
  And foolish notions.

Bob, please try to step back and appreciate the impression that your post would have on any intelligent reader. Just in case your browser does not have a spell check built in (many do nowadays) there is a SpellCheck button provided for you on the form. So the repeated misspelling of assumption (asumption) and in fact (infact) not only make you look as if English is not your native language, but it makes you look like you have not mastered even the basics of the web technologies. Small thing, but impressions count and it is easily remedied.

Infact the shape of Jerusalem is the shape of the 21 hebrew letter!!!
That in itself is a great sign about Jerusalem,Amein.

The twenty-first Hebrew letter is
Here is a map of the classical city of Jerusalem:

I can find no reference to these being the same and I cannot see it either. Your post seems like nonsense.

Plus Yahshua was not his name as he said he came in his Father's name.
The claim the Father was in Yahshua as ;Yahshua was in the Father,is because
YHWH is Spirit and what is that Spirit - Wisdom, Understanding and Knowledge!
Which was taken from the learn and given to the unlearn!

I have read and re-read this paragraph. It also makes no sense. Now, if your intent is to portray yourself as as a poorly educated person who has not the capability to put together a coherent posting, then you have done well. However, I do not believe that is your intent. Please, take the time to re-read your posts, imagining yourself as a typical reader of these forums, use the preview button, if it helps, before you click on the submit button.
