A Third Century Apostolic Church at Ancient Susya, Israel - Christian
A Third Century Apostolic Church at Ancient Susya, Israel
Sister Klein and I were at Ancient Susya, Israel, today. I am translating the Aramaic New Testament into English. Consequently, I am very interested in ancient Aramaic having taken classes in O.T. Aramaic, N.T. Aramaic, and Modern Aramaic. I believe this building, most are calling a synagogue was an Apostolic Church! We found 'Yeshua' in the mosaic as stated in the video. It is written in Aramaic!
Archaeologists considered this building a Christian building until the later part of the 20th century. They changed their position when they unearthed the building's floor. Why? They found pictured a couple of menorahs. I have been to many Apostolic churches with menorah's in their sanctuaries. Why do I think this was a church? The uplifted platform is facing east.
The excavating archaeologists state over 30 mikvahs were found. Archaeologists state a mikvah of this time period must have seven steps. These have many more than seven. At Ephraim, where we were digging, the mikvah had seven steps. So, were these mikvahs, no, I think they were personal, family baths.
The extra large pool (they address as a 'communal mikvah') was a community swimming pool. As Apostolic, we would expect female to swim at a different time than males.
In Jesus,

Can a Christian Go to HELL?
Can you always receive forgiveness for your sin? NO!
"Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee." Acts
"In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth: (26) And [that] they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will." 2 Timothy 2:25-26
"For [it is] impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, (5) And have tasted the good word of God, and the power of the world to come, (6) If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put [him] to an open shame." (Hebrews 12:15-17) Hebrews 6:4-6
"... but the face of the Lord [is] against them that do evil." 1 Peter 3:12
Forgiveness ????
