But what if the Jews had accepted Jesus?
If the Jews had made Jesus their king in Jerusalem and he had not been crucified, the atonement for sin would not have been accomplished, nor would have the resurrection. Christianity simply would not have been born into the world, and salvation not come to the Gentiles.
If the Jews had made Jesus their king in Jerusalem and he had not been crucified, the atonement for sin would not have been accomplished, nor would have the resurrection. Christianity simply would not have been born into the world, and salvation not come to the Gentiles.
The greatest irony, and tragedy, is that for much of the last two millennia it was the Church, the instrument intended to bring salvation and comfort to the lost, that most afflicted suffering upon the Jews in centuries of inquisitions, crusades, pogroms, expulsions, Replacement Theology, and the Holocaust inspired by the German reformer Martin Luther. And that was based, at least in part, with the idea stated above, that the Jews deserve punishment for their rejection of Christ. It was the Church’s long cruelty in the name of Jesus that has left a thick scar on the hearts of the Jewish people to this day.
Are the Jews prepared to share the stage with Christians by accepting Jesus?
First they will have to give up Circumcision which aligns them more with Muslims than Christians who don’t circumcise.
Second they have to love their neighbour but also be likeable themselves.
Third. Don’t seek the destruction of the world.

@SocraticGregarian96
I meant the ten commandments that I listed in my post. If you are so dumb that you did not even realize this basic fact, it’s no wonder your logic here is also horrible! Furthermore, the Ten Commandments only prove my argument further, and your thick skull provided listed the evidence here for me!Here are but a few examples of the 613 mitzvot that pertain to Jews’ treatment of non-Jews:To love the stranger (Deut. 10:19) (CCA61). See Love and Brotherhood.Not to wrong the stranger in speech (Ex. 22:20) (CCN49).Not to wrong the stranger in buying or selling (Ex. 22:20) (CCN50)Not to delay payment of a hired man's wages (Lev. 19:13) (CCN38)That a man should fulfill whatever he has uttered (Deut. 23:24) (CCA39).Not to break a vow (Num. 30:3) (CCN184).Not to delay in fulfilling vows or bringing vowed or free-will offerings (Deut. 23:22) (CCN185).Not to leave something that might cause hurt (Deut. 22:8) (CCN190). See Love and Brotherhood.Not to slay an innocent person (Ex. 20:13) (CCN32). See Life.Not to rob by violence (Lev. 19:13) (CCN35).Not to defraud (Lev. 19:13) (CCN37).Not to covet what belongs to another (Ex. 20:14) (CCN40).Not to indulge in evil thoughts and sights (Num. 15:39) (CCN156).There are many more examples but you get the point.
Those are examples what how Jews should treat others, but nowhere does it tell Jews to be likeable themselves. This is why the Jews have suffered antisemitism for over 3000 years. They were never liked where ever they went.
A simple addition to the commandment to love your neighbour “but be likeable yourself “ would have corrected this important omission.

Consider this question. Is there anything that is not legally a person that you cannot legally own?Most people would cite things the government can own but a private citizen cannot.If the government has possession of it, it would be considered government property.So we are left with this question:Is there anything the government cannot legally own that is not a person?
Government cannot legally own private property, private holdings etc.

All this could change, though, thanks to new research from the Carnegie Institution for Science, which is using AI to analyse rock samples for signs of present or past life.

The word God is for me nothing but the expression and product of human weaknesses,' Einstein wrote.
Einstein described the world of matter with an equation.
E = mc2. It's the world's most famous equation, but what does it really mean? "Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared." On the most basic level, the equation says that energy and mass (matter) are interchangeable; they are different forms of the same thing.

What happens after we receive the Holy Spirit?
He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.” What Jesus is telling us here is that when we have the Holy Spirit in our lives, He will guide us in the direction we need to go. The Holy Spirit will not leave us in confusion but will reveal the truth to us.

When we receive the Holy Spirit.
In conclusion, how do we receive the Holy Spirit? We receive the Holy Spirit by simply receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior (John 3:5-16). When do we receive the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit takes up permanent residence in us the moment we believe.

Is there anyone here that can defend it?Is there any one here that can debate it?
The Jews were limited by their inability to see God in multiple forms could not see the Trinity as God’s approach to conceptualize himself as fire, water and spirit or the trinity of God as Father, son and Holy Spirit.
Not that the Jews didn’t try.
Moses even asked God to show his glory to the Jews.
Exodus 33:18 Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.”
God instead chose to show his backside.
Exodus 33:20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my glory, for no one may see it and live.”
Exodus 33:23 Then I will remove my hand and you will see my backside; but my face must not be seen.”
So the only concept the Jews have of God is his backside and not the trinity.
So how did the Christians see the Trinity?
Jesus said, John 14:9 Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father;
John 14:15-31 NIV - Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit -
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit - “If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and.
There you have the trinity. God’s backside, Jesus and his promise of the Holy Spirit.

If it is a belief system , it is.
What is critical thinking in Christianity?
Critical thinking enables us to establish that doctrines central to the Christian faith are based solidly on scripture, reason, and available evidences. We find that these doctrines stand up to a careful examination.
Textual criticism examines biblical manuscripts and their content to identify what the original text probably said. Source criticism searches the text for evidence of their original sources. Form criticism identifies short units of text seeking the setting of their origination.
How is textual criticism used in the Bible?
Textual criticism of the New Testament is the identification of textual variants, or different versions of the New Testament, whose goals include identification of transcription errors, analysis of versions, and attempts to reconstruct the original text.

At what point does the Holy Spirit come into a person?According to the New Testament, a person receives the Holy Spirit immediately upon believing in Jesus Christ as their Savior: Ephesians 1:13-14: "Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit"How do you get the Holy Spirit to enter you?The only thing necessary to receive the Holy Spirit is that you must have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Once you've confessed Jesus as your Savior, God gives you the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13). You don’t have to be a certain denomination, or be a pastor or evangelist to receive the Holy Spirit. Whether you have been a believer for 50 years or five minutes, you can receive the Holy Spirit right where you are, right now.We don't get the Holy Spirit to enter us. He's God. He's not on a string. John 3:5-9 tells us that the Spirit goes where the Spirit desires. Not where we desire. He's like the wind. It blows where ever it pleases.God is not a man. God is sovereign. Ephesians 1:4 actually says God chose those whom he would save before the beginning of the world. Those whom he predestined.So again, you need to stop putting the horse before the cart. Faith is a gift of God. It is not the cause of salvation. We cant just drum up faith to believe in God. And part of the evidence for this truth is seen on this particular forum question. Look at the answers of those who are not Christians. The truth wouldn't convince them. That's what they all said.
The apostle Paul clearly taught that we receive the Holy Spirit the moment we receive Jesus Christ as our Savior. First Corinthians 12:13 declares, “For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.”

They couldn’t find any intelligent beings on earth.
"We observe that no intelligent beings from outer space are now present on Earth," Hart wrote in the paper's abstract. "It is suggested that this fact can best be explained by the hypothesis that there are no other advanced civilizations in our galaxy."
Intelligent aliens might simply have decided to never visit us, or did so long ago without leaving any trace.
Alternatively, it might be that life is simply so rare that the chances of two intelligent species being positioned relatively near each other in the vastness of space is exceedingly slim.
A more somber suggestion is that we are alone in the universe. Life, like that found on Earth, is simply so vanishingly unlikely to arise, that ours was the only world where this happened.
Most scientists think this is unlikely. But there is the possibility that some sort of event, known as a Great Filter, might prevent civilizations like our own from progressing far enough to make contact elsewhere.

I was skimming over a WF/Bones debate about abortion, and I was thinking about the question of personhood within a moral and legal framework.My thoughts went to an old infamous Scotus case where a man was declared property and thus could not have personhood. (Dredd Scott)If we do not confer personhood to a 9 month old fetus, does this mean it must then be considered property as well?
Not conferring personhood to a fetus is to deny the fetus any individual rights a person is given.

From what I know about some people explain what "white" supremacy to be is that it is a global system and government dominating all non "white" people in multiple areas of people activity .These people are enslaved since you mentioned slavery. They are slaves , they are victims to the system of "white" supremacy.In all areas of people activity to summarize in the areas of economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics , religion, sex and war.No other government, not American, not African, not Asian, just one government, the system of "white" supremacy that dominates all those classified as non "white" are controlled in those areas, where to go, what to do and are allowed to be, to do.Everything is controlled by the "white" supremacists. They control and dominate the planet. They setup everything up , who sleeps with who, who lives where, who eats what, etc .Slavery never ended, mistreatment never ended.Now this sounds like an entire ideology I suppose but there are books that people have written in regards to this and have made speeches as well as podcasts, talk shows.
The ideology of white supremacy lives on even though every non white country has sovereign rights.

Declaring oneself a king is not a part of "official acts" or "core duties". The above quote is the court's way of saying: No, Trump cannot be prosecuted for using the legal powers given to him by the Constitution.In the article you copy-and-paste, some left-wing journalist is simply whining that Trump can't go to jail for doing something he is allowed to do- that being, challenging election results if he believes they are incorrect, for national security purposes.The journalist who wrote that article failed to be objective; the journalist allowed his bias to taint that article. Lesson 1: Do not be so quick to trust what an American journalist says. Many of them are delusional.
It was not the journalist’s opinion. It was the chief justice, John Roberts, writing for the court’s six conservatives, held in Trump v United States that Donald Trump has “absolute immunity” from criminal prosecution for all acts that can be interpreted as part of the official course of his “core” duties, and “presumptive” immunity for all other official acts.

Romans 10:10 doesn't say that a person receives the Holy Spirit the instant they truly accept Jesus. You are putting the cart before the horse.We are regenerated first, that's what Jesus says. That means we are born again, or as the Greek says, born from above. That is, the Spirit of God is poured into our hearts - BEFORE we believe. Belief is the fruit of our salvation, not the cause of it. You fall outside of the historic church on this issue.You deny the doctrine of original sin.Oops.

In your response you forgot the most important aspect of Salvation and of what makes a person a Christian. And that is the Holy Spirit. Without the Spirit of God, you cannot be a Christian.
According to the plan(Will) of God, a person instantly receives the Holy Spirit when he/she genuinely accepts the Lord Jesus Christ as his/her personal Lord and Saviour according to Romans 10:10. That is, the person must first be convicted/believe in his/her heart and subsequently confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord.

No one is claiming black people can't overcome their disadvantages, we're saying that their disadvantages, however big, are real. And by logical extension, if one group is disadvantaged, it necessarily follows that at least some other group is advantaged, thus answering the central question of this thread.
Therefore it is wrong to say White privilege does not exist. While the blacks are overcoming their disadvantages the white group remain privileged.

God is universal in all religions.", and it is easy to say that God is not a central figure in Buddhism.I guess bot isn't programmed to pay attention, ok, now you say another irrelevant non-sequitur.
