Paul, Torah, Bestiality, Gay Marriage and the New Testament
It is clear to many that the Old Testament and particularly Torah was used by the early Christians to demonstrate the truth of the gospel. Some are not aware or choose to ignore this. They seek to impose Torah on others claiming that because the apostles used it to convince the Jews about Christ, it must be used today.
While some teach that the law ended at the cross, it did not. According to Matthew 5:17-18, the law would continue until all was fulfilled. Not till heaven and earth passed would one jot or tittle ...

A Natural and a Spiritual Body
In 1 Corinthians 15:44, the Apostle Paul speaks of the contrast between a natural and a spiritual body. Today, we hear a lot about “spirituality” especially from a new age perspective. However, most people claiming to be spiritual are completely out of harmony with the manner in which the term is used in Scripture.
In fact, the way many use that term is what the Bible emphatically calls the “natural” man. There are two Greek terms used to describe these contrasts. When these are understood, the difference between the natural body and the spiritual body becomes ...
