Hebrews 10:19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, 10:20 by the fresh and living way that he inaugurated for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh. Why through the flesh? And what does Christ's flesh have to do with...

Since my time here it has become apparent many who hold the doctrine of the trinity struggle to understand the Masters humanity and as such, rob him of his suffering in the flesh. This consideration of Matthew 27:45-54 aims to show the Lord's death, providing insights into this incredible act...

Well I need to give some credit to @Enoch111 who opened the door on this question for which now I will give an answer. It is true that Moses and Elijah represent the Law and the Prophets focusing in on what the Lord Jesus Christ is about to accomplish as per Mark 9:4 It was more than just a...

I ask again....Do you know why Elijah & Moses were chosen of all the OT faithful to encourage Jesus before his crucifixion? Mark 9 This question and its answer is precisely why this below thread is essential for the Christian to learn and follow. I will send my messenger Give it a...

The words are taken from Malachi 3:1 and have long been used to show the work of John the Baptist in preparing with the way for Christ's ministry. A man sent from God (John 1:6) and because he was the messenger of God Who was revealed in His Son Jesus it can be said that God had visited his...

Greetings We will be exploring the sequence of events on the Judgement Seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10) and the Throne of Christ's glory (Matthew 25:31). When the believer is faced with Matthew 19:28 it's impossible not to understand the throne to mean anything else but the "Throne of...

This thread is a discussion about the Kingdom of God as believed upon by the Jehovah Witnesses. The way in which this discussion will be held is to look at their beliefs concerning natural Israel and the things concerning the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and the coming Kingdom. I've been...

Careful reading of the Word is so important and I keep stressing why finding the right Biblical context is essential for a right interpretation - Scripture often answers Scripture. Facts: Same author Jesus / Word Wicked One / Overcoming the World Being strong / Believing in Jesus Overcome the...

Well, at last we have the word Satan or Adversary, which can be either good, or bad depending on the circumstances. Unlike a devil, or false accuser, these people are always bad. Only problem in Job is once again nowhere does it state the adversary is a fallen angel. The way I will approach...

Like Ezekiel 28:13-18, this section of Scripture does not mention the words "devil, satan, or fallen angel", so sadly again, we have an inferred argument from the gecko (if you are Australian this will make sense ;)) however, for all others, it means "from the get go!" I can't believe...

What is the broader context of Ezekiel 28? Ezekiel 28:1 The word of the Lord came to me: of Tyre, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says:“ ‘Your heart is proud and you said, “I am a god; Ezekiel 28:11 The word of the Lord came to me: a lament for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘This is what...

Why is it that Acts references don't link to pop up Bible text? i.e Acts 4:26 cmp Psalms 2:4 Also, is there are way to reference different Bible Translations or Versions rather than just the American Standard Version? Thanks F2F

The nature of Jesus In this thread I will be using a number of extra-biblical resources for the main reason most of the terminology and concepts are not found in the Bible. Many trinitarians agree with this premise, some even suggesting the Trinity formula is not present but adequately...

John was pained to find someone to open the scroll! “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” And no one in heaven (angels) or on earth (living mortal) or under the earth (dead) was able to open the scroll or to look into it, and I began to weep loudly because no one was found...

In a recent thread we partly considered Luke 10:18 which reads, "So he said to them, “I saw Satan fall as lightning from heaven" The usual approach is to use this verse to prove the doctrine that Satan, a rebel angel, was cast from heaven after a great war in Heaven with the forces of Almighty...

Who is willing to deal with the context of 2 Peter 2:4 Traditional Christians state angels can sin but the Scriptural evidence is far from convincing. So what is the true context of 2 Peter 2:4? 2 Peter 2:4 is connected with 2 Peter 2:1. "But there were false prophets also among the people...

Greetings all, As many of you know we have been conducting an ongoing discussion about the RCC's dogma relating to Mary and her alleged position in Heaven (i.e Queen, Mediatrex etc.) Catholics here agree that Mary was fallible but unable to sin. (a irreconcilable paradox) The RCC believes...

Greetings all, I am looking to have an amicable discussion with those who venerate Mary the mother of Jesus. The purpose is to gather information on the subject with the view of presenting a study session to a wide range of believers. As I understand it a Roman Catholic believer would agree...

Job’s Appeal 31:35 “If only I had someone to hear me! Here is my signature (Heb: final word) let the Almighty answer me! If only I had an indictment that my accuser had written. Surely I would wear it proudly on my shoulder, I would bind it on me like a crown; I would give him an accounting...

So who was Job's Adversary? (called Satan) He was a mortal member of the community, who harbored envious thoughts of Job’s prosperity and happiness, not unlike similar situations today. He was not the devil (false accuser) of apostate Christianity, or an evil angel in heaven. He was outwardly...
