QA: Did Jesus Teach "Absolute Values"?

QUESTION: Jesus didn't teach "absolute values", did He? - 6/13/2021  

ANSWER: In mathematics, the "absolute value" of a number or integer is its distance from zero. There must be an absolute beginning point for numbers to have value. So also with humans.

1. JESUS CHRIST WAS THE SACRIFICE FOR AN "EVERLASTING COVENANT" AND MAKES CHRISTIANS "COMPLETE IN EVERY GOOD WORK TO DO HIS WILL." (Hebrews 13:20-21) ... Read More of this in Bible Content On Jesus Christ; it is also available in Questions Answered.

Judemental Cancel Culture: Mini Article Now Available

“Also do not take to heart everything people say, Lest you hear your servant cursing you. For many times, also, your own heart has known That even you have cursed others” (Ecclesiastes 7:21-22). How hypocritical is anyone who condemns others for that of which they, themselves, have done? Have the “cancel culture judges” never used the words they now hold in contempt? “As it is written: ‘There is none righteous, no, not one’” (Romans 3:10). Jesus said: "Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?” (Matthew 7:1-3). No “cancel culture judge” has spoken so perfectly to be qualified to judge/condemn anyone else! - 6-29-2021 This and other short thoughts are available in Words of Wisdom Articles.

Woe v. Wade - Mini Article Now Available

The Judaeans King “Manasseh shed very much innocent blood, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another, besides his sin by which he made Judah sin, in doing evil in the sight of the LORD” (2 Kings 21:16). He “had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, which the LORD would not pardon” (2 Kings 24:4). In Genesis 25:19-28, Isaac and Rebekah’s twins, Esau and Jacob, were “not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil” (Romans 9:10-11). Unborn babies are innocent. God did not pardon shedding very much innocent blood. Judas Iscariot confessed “saying, ‘I have sinned by betraying innocent blood’"  (Matthew 27:4). Innocence is described as anyone, like babies, who have done no harm to anyone, and Jesus Christ, who only did good (Acts 10:38). Babies’ innocent blood damns, Jesus Christ’s innocent blood saves. - May 25, 2021

QA: What Skin Color Did Jesus Have?

QUESTION: What skin color did Jesus have? - 5/9/2021   

ANSWER: He had the "universal" human color! 

1. God's Human family is ONE. (Genesis 1:26-27) The only physical distinction drawn was between "male and female". (Genesis 3:20) Since all mankind has come from the same woman, it stands to reason that all skin colors (or aviations thereof) are blended together. ... Read More of this and other QA in Questions Answered.

Intimidation: Mini Article Now Available

 “Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God” (John 12:42-43). Though the miracles proved Jesus was the Christ, they were intimidated into silence. Open confession of faith is required, for Jesus said, “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 10:32-33). For Jesus to confess to God that He knows us should be far more important than anything humans (friends, family, business, government) can do to us! “Let the redeemed of the LORD say so” (Psalm 107:2). - May 4, 2021

QA: What Does the Bible Say About "Easter Holy Week"?

QUESTION: What does the Bible say about "Easter Holy Week"?

ANSWER: Christians celebrated NO 'holy week' in the New Testament. Christians do NOT re-enact the last week of Jesus' life before the cross.

1. Jesus prophesied the events of His last week (Matthew 20:17-19). The Apostles and Christians "daily in the temple... did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus the Christ" (Acts 5:42), and when scattered, "went everywhere preaching the Word" (Acts 8:4). Teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ ... is never limited to one week in His life, or teaching about it once in a year.

2. Christians remember... Read More of this and other QA in Questions Answered.
