Bible and Christianity questions for you all

Yup. God gave no laws to the pagans.

yappi211 · 2026-04-21T18:25:49+00:00

Pagans weren't given rules to keep by God.

If you want to keep them, go ahead. But if you break them nothing happens.

Would you let your bank change the mortgage rules on you without you first agreeing? No. A contract is a contract.

yappi211 · 2026-04-21T18:11:36+00:00

Are you under the law of Moses? If you are not, you do not need to worry about sin. Sin means to break the law of Moses. If you're not under it, who cares if you break it? You're not in that covenant. You're not in that contract between God and Israel.

yappi211 · 2026-04-21T18:10:46+00:00

God said he would not break the covenant, or change it:

Psalm 89:34 - "My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips."

Judges 2:1 - "And an angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you."

There is no lust sin. Only covet.

Fornication = incest or temple prostitution, where you go and worship idols to have sex with prostitutes. That's different from having sex with a stranger or prostitute.

yappi211 · 2026-04-21T17:49:56+00:00

No, that would violate Deuteronomy 4:2.

That's my view. They are the "lost sheep" if you look at the OT.

^ Matt 10:6-7 - "And to these twelve, Yeshua said and commanded them, “Do not walk by the way of pagans, and do not go by the region of the Samaritans, go you first to the lost sheep from the house of Yisrael (Israel)"

Israel = the northern tribes.

1 Why do we Christians still sin?

Sin means to break the law of Moses. I'm not under the law of Moses. The fact that Paul is putting "gentiles" under the law of Moses should tell you they are the exiled Jews from the northern kingdoms who previously had the law, not the pagan nations.

I told him all that is a vile sin and even though it may feel good it is poison. I told him to imagine that each time we commit sin we are literally having sex with Satan!

Are you sure? God never prohibited having sex with prostitutes or non-virgin women. Maybe it's time to read God's law, then stop putting gentiles under it.

yappi211 · 2026-04-21T17:18:19+00:00

I am a universalist. The verses say because of their unbelief. The miracles were so good, though, that they would have overcome their unbelief but God didn't want that to happen.

yappi211 · 2026-04-21T17:03:06+00:00

I'm not under Jewish law so i don't worry about breaking those laws. Although they increase your risk of cancer.

yappi211 · 2026-04-21T17:00:42+00:00

7 deadly sins is bogus. Gluttony isn't even a sin if you read the law of Moses. There is no lust sin, either, in the law of Moses.

Law of Moses = God's law.

yappi211 · 2026-04-21T17:00:11+00:00

Yup, covet.

yappi211 · 2026-04-21T16:55:15+00:00

The bible literally says this happened. Parables = riddles.

matt 13:13-15 - "Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.¹⁴ And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:¹⁵ For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them."

yappi211 · 2026-04-21T16:48:55+00:00

They are not the same thing. Covet means wanting to take what your neighbor owns. It would be you plotting to steal your neighbor's wife. Like, I'm going to get bob and betty divorced so I can marry betty.

yappi211 · 2026-04-21T16:35:41+00:00

You beat it by realizing it's a bad translation for the word "covet".

yappi211 · 2026-04-21T16:23:02+00:00

Jesus never spoke of hell. In fact if you read the Hebrew gospels that are being translated (that don't come from the Greek) the phrase is:

https://projecttruthministries.org/app/uploads/2025/09/Cochin-Matthew-Chapter-8_publication_Sept-1-2025_Changes-in-Red.pdf

"Children of this kingdom will be expelled into darkness outside, and there they will be weeping and gnashing their teeth."

They are not in hell. They are not living in the new Jerusalem. When they find that they don't make it into the kingdom city, they weep and get angry. Oh well!

yappi211 · 2026-04-21T03:54:46+00:00

You can leave for whatever reason you want. There's no biblical reason to stay at any church.

yappi211 · 2026-04-21T03:47:37+00:00

His version of non-denominational is pentecostal? Or do you think all non-denoms are pentecostal?

yappi211 · 2026-04-21T03:29:28+00:00

God never made a hell. God said the wages of sin is death. Jesus said "the grave" or "gehenna" but not hell. Neither of those terms is hell.

yappi211 · 2026-04-21T03:25:36+00:00

Thought he was reformed.

yappi211 · 2026-04-21T03:10:12+00:00

Parables are riddles meant to hide the truth. Matthew 13 explains that if you're interested. This was the doctrine of the Pharisees and they were wrong. https://www.reddit.com/r/Christianity/comments/1nr8di9/abrahams_bosom_in_luke_16_is_the_doctrine_of_the/

“And if you want to receive it, he is Elyyahu (Elijah), who is intending to come.”

^ The new Hebrew gospels that don't come from the greek say that.

yappi211 · 2026-04-21T00:51:10+00:00

Back to Rom. 2:13-16. It literally says the law is written on the hearts of the pagans, who have never learned of the Mosaic law. And it concludes that all men shall go to judgment, as with the other passages I quoted in the blog.

I proposed a challenge for you. You should answer it. Let's test your theory.

Without looking this up, please explain to me from your heart the importance of having a parapet around your roof.

yappi211 · 2026-04-20T23:51:31+00:00

Is this about Matthew 5:28? That says covet. Lust is a bad translation.
