The Bible doesn't say when Jesus was born nor does it give a date of His death. Obviously it doesn't really matter. It wasn't until Constantine incorporated and changed the Christian religion that any birthday was to be celebrated. In changing the empire's religion to Christianity, they wanted...

Do a search on the lost books and texts of the Bible and then tell us again how we have every word from God. Ridiculous.

Thank you for the English lesson! I'm not saying that sarcastically, I really did enjoy reading that. I finally understand what a definite and indefinite article is! I think the Jehovah Witness group just lacks the understanding that Jesus was the Great I AM, or the god of the Old Testament...

That's like asking you to prove that you were born in the city that your parents said you were. You have absolutely no proof except the proof of witnesses who were there to bear record of it. The apostles, the seventy, and the disciples all saw and felt His resurrected body. The Spirit...

We know Jesus was resurrected and returned to His disciples. For this time period that He was back, the record states that He opened their understanding and expounded the scriptures to them. Things that they would not have been able to understand before His resurrection were taught them. He was...

That He will deliver His people in the last days. Joel is prophesying of the last days where there will be great wars and signs happening all around. You really need to read the whole chapter, even the whole book of Joel to keep this scripture in the correct context. Anyway, the last days will...

You should clarify your statement by saying that MODERN Christianity is the religion of a trinity. The religion that Christ taught and that the apostles continued did not have any such concept. This is why you don't even see the word trinity in the Bible. What you do see is the Godhead. What...

Dear Brother Justin, I wish to make a few remarks on this topic. We all have gone through experiences that lead us up to this very moment in time where we have a set of doctrinal beliefs. Odds are, they probably are different in some way than the beliefs we had years ago. As our lives change...

Dear Brother Justin agreed with me! ;)

There will always be people that stir up contention. Even though this is a debate room, the debate need not be fully of anger and darkness. Rest assured, signs will not follow the spirit of contention that some are displaying.

Did the books you read talk about how the New Testament is not by any means a step by step list of the organization of the church and how it was ran? That is not what the scriptures are for. They were written to tell the story of Jesus and to promote the faith to those that the apostles had been...

I know us Christians have a faith in Christ and believe that He came to fulfill the law and we no longer are required to keep it, but where do the 10 commandments come in. Those seem to be pretty strong in the churches even today, but were they not part of the law of Moses? Why do we say that we...

The new reality Jesus proclaimed was nonviolent. That much is clear, not just from the Sermon on the Mount, but his entire life and teaching and, above all, the way he faced his death. His was not merely a tactical or pragmatic nonviolence seized upon because nothing else would have worked...

Dearest Brother Justin, I like your style! I too see the same thing happening in Christianity, mainly a lack of revelation and use of the Spirit of God. It seems to be that many have a "let's believe in this book" attitude instead of a belief and trust in the true and living God. They are...

Dear Brother, That is right on! It seems so many forget about the principle of revelation that is required by every individual to know the truth. Of course, scriptures help build faith, hearing stories from people help build faith, but what reveals the Lord and the Father is the spirit of God...

I think this is an excellent point Selene. What were the Christians using? Up until they time of Constantine, there was no Bible. The apostles were obviously visiting the churches that they started and writing letters to them while they were away. They were sending missionary companions to teach...
