@ramishady75 In this video. Thabiti is asked, what verse in the Bible, does Jesus say himself that he will be killed?

All these verses have Jesus saying that he will be killed.

Matthew 17:22, 20.18,19, 28,26:2,12,32.. Mark 9:31,10:33,34. Luke 9:22, 18:32,33. John 10:18, 12:7.

@Keanu212 Yes the Jews sinned. But God makes everything work together for the good. joseph told his brothers, you meant it for evil, but God meant it for good.. All criminals believe that they will be rewarded for their sins. That's how satan helps them to sin. satan deceived adam and Eve. The Jews are condemned for killing Jesus because they murdered him, they thought it was for the good of their nation, that's how they rationalized their sin. You can have peace with God only through Jesus.

Who wills that ALL mankind be saved & come into a realization of the truth.

..we rely on the living God, Who is the Saviour of ALL mankind, especially of believers.

These things be charging & teaching.

For even as, in Adam, ALL are dying, thus also, in Christ, shall ALL be made alive.

that in the name of Jesus EVERY knee should be bowing, celestial & terrestrial & subterranean,& EVERY tongue should be acclaiming that Jesus Christ is Lord, for the glory of God, the Father.

[Keanu212]

Your sexual instinct that God created u with is not sinful. Its how u act based upon it ,that is sinful or not. What Thabiti is basically trying to say is that our whole being, instincts and everything is all a trap for us to be destined for hell. How can the thought of having a sexual relation with a woman be compared to actually having sex with her? Stop trying to trap mankind and make humans feel guilty of something they never did. We are sexual beings, accept reality.

[Keanu212]

My question would be. Did the jews sin by "killing" Jesus ?

If so, then how can the act of sin bring salvation? How can reward be brought through breaking the 6th commandment? The only entity that claims to bring reward through breaking the law of God, is satan. Remember Adam and Eve. If u eat of the tree,(break the law god) u will be like gods.

If not, then why are the jews that "killed" Jesus condemned for that act in the book of Thessalonians and as well in John.
