    Filling in Scriptural Blanks

    I think you have misunderstood what Jesus was saying here. He was responding to the questions in verse three - Matthew 24:3 (WEB): (3) As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of...

    Filling in Scriptural Blanks

    The dead bodies of criminals who had been executed, were thrown into the valley of Gehenna, where fires were kept constantly burning, so the bodies will have been burnt and utterly destroyed. Jesus and his disciples used Gehenna to symbolise eternal destruction, annihilation, or the "second...

    Filling in Scriptural Blanks

    Paul wrote, 2 Timothy 3:16 (WEB): (16) Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, "Every Scripture" includes the genealogies recorded in those Scriptures. Paul dosen't say we should ignore some parts of...

    Filling in Scriptural Blanks

    All humans are mortal, they can and do die. The dead are dead and have no thoughts whatsoever. Jesus' sacrifice redeems us from death, and in due time everyone will be restored to conscious life again (resurrection). That is what the passage in Luke says. God refers to Abraham, etc. as alive...

    Filling in Scriptural Blanks

    Paul didn't say ignore genealogies in the Bible, he was meaning to avoid arguing over which tribe someone belonged to. Barnes' Notes on 1 Timothy 1:4 says: And endless genealogies - This also refers to Jewish teaching. The Hebrews kept careful genealogical records, for this was necessary in...

    Proving Jesus Is God With The New World Translation Bible

    Just for fun I thought I'd try out Microsoft's 'Copilot in Windows (preview)' to prove my point. It came up with: Ah, the delightful dance of comparative adjectives! Let’s unravel this linguistic tango, shall we? So, here’s the scoop: “more clearer”—while it might sound like a tag team of...

    Proving Jesus Is God With The New World Translation Bible

    As I pointed out, according to the rules of this forum we're supposed to refrain from discussing this topic, because often people can't discuss it in a polite and civil manner. So I'll just quote some more verses of Scripture and comment no further. John 17:1-3 (WEB): (1) Jesus said these...

    Proving Jesus Is God With The New World Translation Bible

    That should be "this is clearer" or "this is more clear" - "more clearer" is bad English. (Sorry, but hearing people speak, and write, using bad English is a bit aggravating! :wink:) It's quite clear that almighty God YHVH is referring to His Son, Jesus: Hebrews 1:1-2 (WB): (1) God, having...

    Proving Jesus Is God With The New World Translation Bible

    The rules of this forum states: This topic [the Trinity] may not be initiated, discussed or debated at Christianity Board, whether it be for or against the Trinitarian view. Included in this is the side mantra of "Jesus is not God" Such posts/threads will be deleted immediately and disciplinary...

    Filling in Scriptural Blanks

    The name Methuselah comes from two roots, muth and shalach. Muth means death and shalach means ‘to bring’ or ‘to send forth’. His name therefore means ‘his death shall bring’. The flood did not come as a surprise; it had been preached on for four generations. Enoch, his father, apparently...

    Could Jesus have sinned?

    Jesus was not a sinner - Hebrews 4:14-15 (WEB): (14) Having then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let’s hold tightly to our confession. (15) For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has...

    Wrath of God Falls Upon Israel (EzE)

    That's not what I find when I do Internet searches, e.g. I quickly found this (Where did the vowels come from in the Hebrew Bible?): I read a lot and studied - and I take Judaism seriously. Upvoted by Roy Mitchell, Ph.D. ABD Anthropology & Linguistics, University of California, Berkeley...

    Wrath of God Falls Upon Israel (EzE)

    I think you are mistaken. The Old Testament Scriptures were written in Paleo-Hebrew, and Wikipedia says "Paleo-Hebrew script is an abjad of 22 consonantal letters", and that an abjad is "a writing system in which only consonants are represented, leaving the vowel sounds to be inferred by the...

    Wrath of God Falls Upon Israel (EzE)

    The original Hebrew (used by Moses) did not have any vowels, yet the Israelites knew how to pronounce God's name. Again, I highly recommend that you watch all of that second video - Explaining The Name of God | Verse by Verse Teachings | The Great News Network, which explains why and when...

    Wrath of God Falls Upon Israel (EzE)

    From your comments it sounds to me like you didn't bother to watch all of the video (or you were not paying attention to it). I recommend you watch this video - Explaining The Name of God | Verse by Verse Teachings | The Great News Network. It explains the vowel points. It's a longer video, but...
