The construction of the Tent of Meeting most likely began in the month of Elul. That is 8 months (with leap month) until the month of Nisan. As the Tent of Meeting represents the body of Jesus, this means that Jesus was conceived in Elul of the year 6 BCE and was born on Nisan 1, 5 BCE. 8 months is...

Why Nisan 1? 1. Because it is exactly the same day that God's presence filled the Tent of Meeting (Ex 40:2, Ex 40:34). This event was a shadow that foretold the incarnation of God (John 1:14, the greek word "skenoo" literally means "to tent" ). On the same day that God came to e...

What purpose do you think there is in ECT - Eternal Conscious Torment in hell fire when the sins committed here in a single lifetime of a few years is punished unendingly ?

Is this not a selfish thing to do logically...

How do you understand the New Testament warnings against creating hierarchies of power? Matt 20:25-29 Matt 23:8-10 1Pet 5:3 Thanks for the question! Ernie let me know that about this thread and invited me to participate. I will endeavor to answer to the best of my ability, but I am not a teacher. I...

The Bible is the witness of the apostles to Jesus Christ. A single witness, though, is not sufficient (at least two are required) which is why I selected "it is not the only source of God's teaching." I'll add to the conversation and say that I disagree with the idea that the Bible is the ...

Debating and arguing I laughed at this. I have to agree! Debating and arguing does not seem to me to be a Christian virtue/practice taught in the Bible. Of course, there are arguments detailed therein and let's not forget the importance of the Council of Jerusalem. However, I understood what Solois...
