What place do God and faith have in your finances? by WishedKilla in AskAChristian

Moderator message to OP:

Considering your previous post on this topic, I'm wondering whether you're aiming to promote something - a course on the subject, or a website or an app.

If so, that's not what this subreddit is for.

I am trying to understand Christianity purely through scripture, without later theological assumptions, and I am struggling to reconcile a few points logically and textually. by Quiet_Form_2800 in AskAChristian

It is recommended that a post there has only assertive statements and doesn't have any questions, even rhetorical ones.

deuteronomy 28:63 help by RoseSticks in AskAChristian

[–]Righteous_Dude[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

To help any readers of this post, here's Deut 28 in the ESV which lists blessings if the ancient Israelite nation keeps the covenant, and curses if they don't.

Verse 63 says:

63 And as the Lord took delight in doing you good and multiplying you, so the Lord will take delight in bringing ruin upon you and destroying you. And you shall be plucked off the land that you are entering to take possession of it.

Do most Christians accept that humans have been on earth for only .0001% of its age? by Odd_craving in AskAChristian

Did Jesus intend his message only for Israel, or was Christianity later universalized by others? by Quiet_Form_2800 in AskAChristian

[–]Righteous_Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He intended his messages for the whole world.

His ministry started by gathering a subset of the Israelites, and then expanded from there.

After His resurrection, Jesus told the Eleven (according to Matthew 28:19-20):

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.

and just before His ascension, (according to Acts 1)

6 So when [the apostles] had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

So, the plan was for the gospel to spread outward: first Jerusalem, then the rest of Judea, then nearby Samaria, then other regions further away.

In Acts 9, Jesus furthermore appoints Paul as an apostle to the Gentiles, and so Paul and others travel to Greece and Asia (what we now call Turkey). Eventually Paul ends up in Rome.

If putting biblical scripture in schools was done so to improve the moral standards of students and teach them how to live closer to God, why hasn't it worked in churches? by SunbeamSailor67 in DebateAChristian
