There are some bible verses erased in other bible versions like esv and niv but still present in the kjv bible. Why are verses being removed? And how is this affecting the accuracy of the other bible versions? sample verses are: matthew 17:21, matthew 18:11, john 5:4 and acts 8:37.

Manifest / Co-creation

This notion is considered “New Age” but does it help our faith or is it against the commands and teachings of Jesus/Word of God?

Created in the Image of God

The Bible refers to God as a “he.” The Father and the Son are “he.” But since both male and female were created in the image of God, could it be that God may also be a she?

I met a Carmelite Brother and knew I was a Christian pero I'm still new so I don't know a lot of issues between Catholic and Christian. He suddenly asked me ano daw ang say ng Christian sa John 6. Honestly, I didn't deep dive to John and just read as it is so I don't know the issue, concern, or is there any contrasting opinions and interpretation on John 6... The question is, ano po ba ang pinaka message and laman ng John 6?

"all Scripture is breathed out by God.."

this is quoted from 2 tim 3:16-17, does the author meant the books from old testament?

Creation

2025-06-27 01:29:40 UTC

In the Bible’s creation account, it says that God created male and female on Day 6, but the next chapter gives a detailed story of how the woman was formed from the man’s rib. Does this mean that Genesis 2 is a more detailed retelling of what happened on Day 6? If so, could this imply that other events, like 'Let there be light,' might also have involved a process rather than happening instantly?

If God is omnipresent, why is He not present in hell?

God made and gave the “New Covenant” to the Israelites for they broke His previous Covenants particularly the Mosaic Covenant which contains His rulings and instructions (His perfect law).

The fact that “two houses” were mentioned was indicative of a split and division; the twelve tribes of Israel divided into two “house of Israel”and the “house of Judah”. Though explaining how they were divided is not the intent of my message here.

The purpose of the New Covenant is obviously to bring unity to His people that they may become one. How is that going to happen? Reading the verses below it - it says that God may give His Torah (law) and write them into their hearts. Jeremiah 31:33

The New Covenant was fulfilled by the coming of the Messiah Yeshuah/Jesus and ratified by the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (Shavuot in Hebrew). To this day the struggles and division continue to exist among His people;

between the two houses even among Christian Churches who aren’t immune to split and division.

The question remains; how and when are His people going to be as One? Note that His people consists of Jews and Gentiles.

The simple and obvious answer is by following Yeshuah/Jesus and obeying his commandments.

The not-so-simple answer: the Jews dont know Yeshuah/Jesus the way the Christians (gentiles) know & follow him, the Christians don’t know God’s law/commandments the way the Jews know the laws/commandments written in the Torah.

By the way when Yeshuah said “if you love me keep my commandments” it’s the same commandments in the Torah which he fulfilled and obeyed. Thus Yeshuah/Jesus became the living Torah and the embodiment of the Torah.

What do you think about this? What is the main learnings on this text about Jesus and the Torah?

Thank you Pastor Joash. God bless.
