No, those verses do say, "f he loses one of them," but they do not say, "if he finds it." Here are those verses: "What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? "And when...

That doesn't sound like what the bible says. It says, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved." It doesn't say, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to see sinners lose their lives and be punished," nor does it say, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to see all people repent and...

I think human language is insufficient for these things. Jesus said that He and His Father are one. We cannot fully conceive of a father and a son being one entity. But I would say that talking about three selfs with regard to God is not accurate, because there is one God, Who exists as God...

One, in three "persons". The Father is God. The Son is God. The Holy Spirit is God. We see it in Creation. The Spirit was upon the face of the waters. God the Father said, "Let there be....." John's gospel tells us that the Word, the Son was involved in Creation: “In the beginning was...

I'm rather confused. You start your post talking about God being surprised, and end it by asking: "Are you saying Jesus going to the cross, didn't surprise you?" (in other words, man being surprised). Jesus didn't die in order to establish His own relationship with the Father - He already had...

They were called various things: "believers", "followers of the way," "Nazarenes", "saints," "brethren," "disciples," and probably others that escape me at the moment. I don't know what year it was when the disciples first called Christians in Antioch.

Yes to your question. God the Father temporarily left God the Son. Why? Well, what was Jesus Christ doing on the cross? Bearing the guild and sins of His people. As Paul put it to the Corinthians: “Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore...

Yet right back at the opening of John's gospel we read: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (Joh 1:1 NKJV) And v 14 makes clear that by "the Word," John is referring to Jesus Christ: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld...

But Jesus said of God/Yaweh: “"I and My Father are one."” (Joh 10:30 NKJV) Even His enemies recognised that He was claiming equality with God: “Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, "Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do...

I don't which to take this thread off topic, but as so many of the historic Confessions of Faith, and so many Christians today believe the doctrines of grace, sometimes called "Calvinism," I think it is going too far to suggest that those doctrines have any resemblance to the teachings of cults...

Although I don't agree with those who say that Jesus is our example, and nothing more, He certainly did live His earthly life in a way that means He is the best Example. As He is fully God, He didn't need to say anything to overcome Satan's temptations. But He did so, partly to indicate to...

But we have only to look a few verses further on to find such things referring to Jesus: “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, saying, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last," and, "What you see, write in a book and send it...

Where do we read that Judas was "directly promised eternal life?" He was chosen as one of the twelve, but Jesus knew that Judas would betray Him: “"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to...

I can's speak for Roman Catholics, but I wonder why you say that "those who follow Reformed theology definitely don't like what God says which is why they don't accept the entire Word of God and elevate their own teachings above what God says in His Word." I am one of those who believes...

But when God confused language at Babel, we are told how He confused. it. Before, everybody had spoken the same language. At Babel, He caused them to speak different languages. The builders of the tower could no longer cooperate, because they couldn't understand each other's speech. It was...

Where do we read in the bible that Satan ever had the keys of hell?

Why do you believe that Adam is Edom/Esau? That does not fit with what the bible says. It says that God created Adam. Esau was one of Isaac's two sons. Adam's wife was Eve. Esau had three wives, none of them called Eve: “When Esau was forty years old, he took as wives Judith the daughter...

Yes, that's why Jesus Christ is referred to as the Word, because it is through Him that the Father speaks to mankind: “God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of...

“Cast your burden on the LORD, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.” (Ps 55:22 NKJV)

I believe the 39 books of the Old Testament and 27 of the New. But we are given indications that all that is necessary has been recorded: “but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.” (Joh 20:31 NKJV)...
