"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 (NASB)

Christianity did come from Judaism.
It was actually initially a sect of Judaism referred to as "The Way" by its members.
Only outsiders called them "Christians," which was later adopted as an official name for the group once its membership became majority Gentile.

She needs to stop posting videos and take the time to grow in faith.
The public eye will not help her.
She might get swept into the attention and just trade chasing the approval of men one way for another.

Mary is honorable, but not to be "venerated" (worshipped). She was simply blessed to birth the Messiah... that's all. Nothing more.
This belief can be held and still believe that Jesus was fully man and God. She does not need to be elevated beyond who she is.
@mikepantile
Because all those other practices make the person who does them feel "in control."
Turning to God in repentance for salvation gives Him the control.
@wendelltalks
Very likely.
He gave back the silver coins that he betrayed Jesus for, but then he took his own life.
Peter also betrayed Jesus by his words, but wept and repented.
Two men who betrayed Jesus, one repented, the other sinned greatly again.

He meant that the sabbath was given for mankind to rest.

They wouldn't even permit healing on the Sabbath out of their

When people hear that we must endure persecution, it frightens them, but do not fear.
Our Messiah endured many sufferings, His disciples did the same, and we will as well. But this is our share in His glory, to suffer for His sake.
The greatest unspoken deception that the Church has believed is that the Pharisees are the embodiment of the Old Testament, when in fact, the perfect embodiment of the Old Testament is Jesus.
Because the Old Testament is falsely equated with the Pharisees of Jesus's day,

Correct. Too much attention is given to new converts with "high profiles." They quickly turn their conversion into a celebrity profile itself and then fall away.

Phil Vischer sold out to bad theology and even worse culture commentary.
Popularity and the desire for acceptance by the world got the best of him and now instead of creating kids shows he openly mocks Christians on his podcast all the while claiming to be one.
The parable of the ten virgins is essential to understand the importance of endurance as we await the day of the LORD that is to come.
It cannot be emphasized enough: only those who endure until the end will be saved. The Messiah Himself said these words.
A foolish person will

He misunderstands Jesus.
Jesus didn't "hang out" with sinners and approve their sin or promote it.
He preached the same message of repentance as John:
"Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

"Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name."
Matthew 24:9 (NASB)
"All nations" is key. It was always going to come. Now choose who you will fear: man or God.
Truth divides because it is discerning, not because it is "hateful."
Those who call the truth "hateful" are themselves those who despise it and reveal their own hatred.
Jesus was rejected for speaking the truth:
"But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me."

We are seeing a sifting of believers from "believers."

The man never knew what it meant to repent and suffer righteously for God. He believed in a false gospel that things only get better on this earth once you're saved.

They deny it. It's not that it doesn't happen.
But most don't need to be since they are already doing the will of the kingdom of Satan.
A better question would be, why do atheists love demonic imagery and "ethics" if they don't believe in the demonic?

Every form of entertainment has its purpose.
Video games are escapism. If a man cannot face and deal with the stresses of reality, he is not marriage material.
If we really want to let Scriptures interpret itself, then we need some initial principles of interpretation that will allow it. Otherwise, we will find ourselves stuck forever in the loop of denominational and traditional doctrinal understanding that will never let us understand

The vast majority of Western Christians are completely unprepared for persecution at even the levels they are now. Imagine the great falling away when it actually comes down to denying Christ or dying.

In other words, she doesn't care if the Bible is actually true, just as long as she can role-play a "Christian" and distort other peoples' minds as well. Got it.
No matter how much disagreement arises, let us make great effort to be in community as believers.

This is transgressing the commandments of God for the sake of traditions of men.
That verse is also taken out of context. It's not that they weren't simply withholding tithes from the Levites who served in the temple, it is that they were calling service to God "useless."

Let not the traditions of men ever replace the Word of God.
Read your Bible. Use it to discern everything you practice for your faith.
No one wants to hear God say to them:
“Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?"

Pray for the people of Israel as Paul also did.
Oh, that the people of God would come to know their Messiah...

Enduring is not about being happy until the end, which is impossible if we walk in genuine faith.
Enduring is not about passively facing difficulties and just hoping to get by. It is also most certainly not despising God for allowing us to go through difficulty, then to only run
@IIIDeaton
That is the Spirit speaking to you with discernment. Take notice of the voice. Many hinder that voice, but that discomfort and unsettledness js exactly what would drive many prophets in ancient days to see the problems that God was taking note of among His people.
@LeeFoo9
Rapture theology is Christian escapism. It hinders good living practice and building a tolerance to persecution.
We should be far more concerned with living like Christ and persevering in all circumstances for His sake.
Knowledge can make a man proud.
Wisdom humbles him.
Satan has no wisdom, he is an arrogant angel, full of knowledge, knowledge that leads to nothing good.
And those who serve him likewise are the same.
Fear God and not only will you have knowledge of who He is, but wisdom

That poor woman... she was someone's little girl at one time.

Do not be worried about the days ahead.
God will provide even when all the world seems to be in chaos.
He delivered the sons of Israel through Joseph during great famine in Canaan (Genesis 50:20-21).
He has done many wonders like this and will do so for those who are His.

Insane. There is not even a comparison. Jesus suffered insurmountably more than anyone ever has or will. He took on all of our sins and died a brutal death simultaneously.

Likely. Catholicism adopted other religions' practices to make their own message more appealing.
This is not the way to spread the Good News authentically. We need not change our message.
If we allow the Bible to define its own terms, our theology would be very different from the traditions passed down through the ages. Many traditions have distorted terms used in Scripture and stripped away the meaning of many passages to mean something they don't intend to
Saying "Christ is King" in the manner that gives glory and honor to God is good. It is a praise unto Him and He is worthy.
