    where in the letters did they literally write Jesus is the Father?

    The Messianic prophecy at Isaiah 9:6 foretold of several titles that would befit Jesus, but none would refer him to Almighty God. (Isaiah 9:7) God’s Adversary, Satan the Devil, is called a “god” (2 Corinthians 4:4) because of his dominance over men and demons (1 John 5:19; Luke 11:14-18), then...

    where in the letters did they literally write Jesus is the Father?

    Considering John 10:30-38, compare: John 17:22, 23; Philippians 2:6. These are two of many, many other scriptures related to this topic.

    This is almost a test question

    Prior to Jesus’ sacrifice, there was no way or means for the forgiveness of sins. We were all condemned to death through Adam.-1 Corinthians 15:21, 22. Thankfully, Jesus paid our debt. This does not mean that the human family needs to do nothing else. Almighty God can now legally repurchase us...

    Ephesians 4:30 What does it mean?

    In Ephisians, the apostle Paul spoke about avoiding tendencies toward dishonest statements, sustained wrathfulness, laziness, and unsuitable speech. If we have put on “the new personality” and yet allow ourselves to drift back toward such things, what would we be doing? We would be going...

    Revelation 20:15 What does it mean?

    Following the thousand year reign of Jesus, a final test will be given to all the earthly subjects-those that are resurrected and those that survive the "great tribulation." (Revelation 7:14) This test starts by Satan being released from the abyss. Those, now in perfect condition both physically...

    Hebrews 9:27

    Great question! I think-in a condensed explanation-that that this scripture is referring to two deaths that some will undergo. The first is a physical death due to the inherited sin from Adam (Roman 5:12); and, the second means a permanent death, without hope of another resurrection. Consider...

    Can LGBTQ individuals be saved?

    Consider 1 Corinthians 6:9-11. This should give you a starting point to answer your question.

    Embracing Doctrinal Diversity - Unity in diversity

    Giving respect to others is just and paramount; however, showing, agreeing, adapting, etcetera to “doctrinal diversity” is suspect and not supported scripturally. There are many scriptural references about this subject. I have identified, for consideration, a lengthy list. Consider: Matthew...

    The Rich Man and Lazarus- What Guilt is Laid on the Rich Man?

    LAZARUS AND THE RICH MAN ISN'T A PARABLE AND CAN TEACH US SOME PRINCIPLES ABOUT LIFE AFTER DEATH

    Jesus Christ was speaking to his disciples in the present of the Pharisees and scribes prior to the account at Luke 16:19-31; and, taught lessons by telling this story through the means of parables or illustrations.-Matthew 13:34, 35; Luke 8:10. In this illustration, the rich man depicts the...
