Hello all. I've been wondering what the holy spirit is. Is the holy spirit the same thing as god? If not then in what ways do they differ? Also is Jesus the same as god too? Are they independent beings or are they the same?In heaven, will there be Jesus and god? Or just god who is also Jesus? Is the trinity needed? What is the specific role and purpose of each part of the trinity? Thanks.

Did Messiah die for gentiles or as the Passover sacrifice for God’s chosen people the Jews. I suggest the Jews since gentiles had no sacrificial system given by God to cover their sins. The sacrificial lamb had no meaning to a gentile. However, I won't leave it there since (according to scripture) by accepting Yeshua (Jesus) as Messiah gentiles become wild branches grafted into the olive tree. Jews as they accept Him as Messiah will be natural branches grafted in. Together we become one new man...

The birth of Seth came after the birth of Lamech. This was after ~8 generations had passed, beginning with Cain begatting Enoch going on down to Lamech and you may even throw in Tubal-cain. At this time, Lamech was 70 years old. Adam & Eve then give birth to Seth at the age of 130. This seems to say that Adam was 60years old when he had Cain. none of the ages were given of the descendants of Cain when they became fathers but it would seem that none of them were beyond 10 years old,...

Would it be accurate to say that the Bible contains figurative language so therefore no everything in the Bible is meant to be taken literally? If so, how does this not lead to everything in the Bible being reduced to 'interpretations' rather than the literal meaning. For example my opponent thinks that because the Bible uses figurative language in describing sunset/sunrise, then therefore anything in the Bible from stonings to sacrifices could be 'intepreted' as figurative. He thus...

From my understanding, the age of accountability, in a biblical sense, is when children are old enough to understand right from wrong, or possibly when they can fully understand the idea of a relationship with Jesus. But of course, this is from my own understanding (which I distrust highly), so I've probably got it wrong. So what I'm wondering is: a) what is the age of accountability by definition, b) at what age do children reach the age of accountability, and c) where is the age of...
