Excellent post

Yes the Bible says The Nation of Israel, they are they chosen ones, from a historical viewpoint and a biblical one that is the Jewish state.

One of my college professors asked me once if God was perfect, i replied "yes", he then said in all ways is God perfect I once again replied "yes". He then asked me one last question he said "if God is perfect then his attitude would be perfect, and he would never have to change his mind or contridict himself", I said "yes" he then "said so why would God be unforgiving, toy with the lives of those who loved him so, produce plaques, destroy citys, slay the first born child of an entire nation, then decide well I think I know longer need to be a mean unforgiving God instead I shall be loving and forgiving God by aborting his own child". I had no answer then.

My answer today would be faith.

For me the answer for ever question I asked is faith.

Translation and interpetation can mean that hundreds of things were left out or mis translated.

Thanks, I will try to go back and work on a few of the other ? in the first post before I respond too your other post.
8. I believe from my study of the Word that alot of churchs have taken I Corinthians 11:15 out of text. Again, you have to know who is doing the talking: Which would be the Apostle Paul: Who they are talking too: Which would be the church at Corinth: And what they are talking about: which would be, the church of Corinth was have problems within the church because the converted Jews (now Christians) and the Gentiles (now Christians) differed in opinion on the old laws ( Mosaic Laws). Again you have to look at the entire text, not just a line here and there. you are right history does tell us of women cutting there hair and it was against the mosaic law, Their hair was used to cover their face when they went to the temple to pray. But Paul was using this as an example too the church because they understood that type of example. If you read futher on 11:16, Paul says " we have no such custom, neither the churches of God." He is basically saying, If you want to leave your hair long, leave it, if you want to cut it, then cut it. None of that should come between the members at the church of Corinth.
