I think the title is correct, Jesus is indeed born as a jews and he indeed died as a jews when he was crucified? the only thing change is he did rose again on the third day thus he defied death and was a God but the high priest did not acknowledge it.

Why do u'all keep calling yeshua. jesus. That his translated name from Hebrew to Greek then to english. Isn't it more respectful if we just call him yeshua?. His real given name not some later translated version.

Yet He responds to the name Jesus Christ in our prayers.

If He responds, why is this an issue at all?

Yeshua is a direct translation of Hebrew word? when converted to English it's Jesus Christ

Can someone here explain what crusade war is all labout? Tried reading the history on wikipedia but don't really understand

His real name is YHWH. More precisely Y'hovah

Anyway, the main idea is that God's name is holy and should not be treated in vain. Hence vowel is removed to prevent people to use it lightly. Just say The Lord will suffice.

If you live in those era, treating God's name in vain means gg. You can say God's zeal or anything. But if you're dead, and if the scripture on predestination doctrine is true, then you'll see judgment.

Okay take it lightly. God loves you. Amen

It's a series of war in the 1000s AD in the middle east region. Fought between Christians and Muslims about whether if the region is Christian or Muslim historically. Since both religions have significant history in that area.

Then why are Christians seems to be in negative light in this crusade war?

The initial reason why Christians want to "take Jerusalem back" is a noble one: to preserve the sanctity of the city (and the surrounding region). Unfortunately, there were some key figures (read: Raynald of Chatillon and Guy of Lusignan) who were instigators and irritate some important Muslim figures of the same time period. It wasn't just those princes who "start shit". There were a number of other key/important figures who started shit with the Muslims too. That's why Christians weren't seen in a positive light during those times as the political figures are just going to war for wealth.

That's just Christians VS Muslims. Even between Christian factions (Catholics and Orthodoxy) that have a conflict of religious beliefs and ideas. A quick search on the internet brings back results filled with conflict. If you are to do a quick read-up on the Reconquista for example, you can see how the Roman Rite of Catholicism was forced onto the native Christians in the South Europe/Italian region. It depends on what sort of belief you held in Christianity. Some people strongly believe that the Roman Catholic way is the right way, and if you are a Protestant or Orthodox Christian your Christian belief will be deemed problematic and conflicting to the hardcore Roman Catholics at that time. There were some believers who think that if you are not Roman Catholic Christian you will be doomed to Hell for all eternity, you wouldn't even be put on purgatory for cleansing.

It's like that.

You have access to God by the blood of Jesus Christ

Hebrews 10:19-22 (NIV)

19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.

The natural thought of the world make some of us think we can access to God because of our holy deeds. Or that because we have done things right. That is the old covenant.

Under the new covenant, The Bible says we can come to God because of the blood of Christ. We need to remember, it is Christ Jesus who opened the way to God through his body (death and resurrection), though his work on the cross.

Jesus Christ is also our great high priest representing us before God. He is our advocate, our redemption, our Savior, our Salvation.

Whatever situation that you are in, bad or good, this devotion is to encourage you to come to God though the blood of the Lamb!

God Bless.

Is there any proof that God/Jesus exist or anyone that had seen God before? Mind sharing your experience here? Thanks.

It's interesting that your account name is Root of Jesse, that's in the Bible in Isaiah 11

It's reference to Jesus Christ, our God.

Isaiah 11

The Branch From Jesse
1 A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;
from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.

2 The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—
the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of might,
the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord—

3 and he will delight in the fear of the Lord.
He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes,
or decide by what he hears with his ears;

4 but with righteousness he will judge the needy,
with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth.
He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth;
with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.

5 Righteousness will be his belt
and faithfulness the sash around his waist.

Jesus Christ is one physical evidence, his appointed apostles was willing to die for they have seen or touch. I think it would be a bit looney for anyone to die for someone who just merely "claims" to be God without proving himself as God to which He did. For the record all of them were martyred for refusing to deny what they believe except Apostle John, he died a normal death.


For me personally I've too, just too many many accounts with God to discredit as mere coincidence. And I've accepted the fact that nobody can see God with the physical eye because God is spirit.

Even the Bible (written by the Apostle, inspired by God's Spirit) tells us God cannot be seen. This was uttered by Christ Himself concerning "seeing" God.

John 1:18 (NIV) - No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.

Jesus Christ himself is God. He is the best evidence there is for a physical view point.

Colossians 1:15 (NIV) - The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

Yet there is another "god", the god of this world who is Anti-God blinding people from seeing God

2 Corinthians 4:4 (NIV) - The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

This is a never ending cycle. That is why we Christians evangelize.

Reflection

Ezekiel 38:4 (NIV) - I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army--your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords.

Just want to share my thought of what is happening now.

I believe our Lord God Almighty allowed this pandemic to happen because a lot of us take the warning of Christ second coming too lightly.

We live as if it's not going to happen in our lifetime. This is the problem.

This Pandemic has caused many of to think, will this ever end? Because many of us are very uncomfortable living this new norm.

In my opinion it is not a norm. This is not normal.

This happened so that we become careful in our life. Because under this pandamic, many people lost their earnings. This has caused us to think what are we to do to ensure our future.

Is it going to be bleak future or is the world coming to an end?

You look at the signs.... Wars, World Economic problem, Nothing is moving much.

WHAT IF, it's the beginning of what the book of revelation says?

Look out for the signs of end time, especially Israel. The moment you see the sign of the birth of war of gog and magog against Israel, The invader of Israel as prophesize in Ezekiel 38 and 39, There have been speculation that Ezekiel 38:4 could be referring to Russia involved in the war against Israel. Once you see this, That is how you know the end of time has started.

You should not start too late. Come back to God before anything happens.

Repent and turn back to the True and Living God of the Bible. Believe Jesus Christ is the only way to God the Father.

Believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

Accept Christ work on the cross for your Salvation. Allow the Holy Spirit of God to work in your life.

Don't be stubborn, let go of your worldly ways before it's too late.

God Bless.

Seek out the born again and they might just share with you the marvellous miracles that our Almighty God has done for them.

Here's a scientific answer from me. There's a chance that you may not encounter any supernatural experience for x amount of time. But even then, the actual experience from being in the community, exploring the book, acquiring a new sense of peace, that everyone can achieve.

https://www.history.com/news/was-jesus-real...orical-evidence

These sources of the historical Jesus are from non biblical sources.

Anyone seen God? Yeah...the disciples did. So they wrote it down as the good news to mankind.

Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? - John 14:9

Many have asked to see God. Look at Jesus of the bible. That is God.

The biggest proof of God was the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Jesus was not just about words, but a demonstration of Truth.
This resurrection demonstrated the power of Jesus over life and death. There are 2 sureties in life. Taxes and death.
Mankind has never able to conquer death. Jesus in His resurrection showed us all that He is Lord over life and death, the ALMIGHTY.

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.

Like all of us, Ravi was susceptible to human weakness.

That however does not in anyway diminish the value of his contribution to the body of Christ in the area of apologetics.
Most, if not all of us, cannot hold a candle next to his work.

May we hold his memory dear.

Oh yes.

Does having an argument with God and getting an audible answer count?

Does seeing a vision, then hearing instructions what to do, and upon doing that, end up saving a situation count?

Does testifying about the power of the name of Jesus and seeing someone delivered from a spiritual attack count?

Does prophesying over people and seeing those prophesies come to past count?

I have had all those happen to me before so i am throughly convinced Jesus exists.
