I’m sorry but you just defeated your argument…. You’re right, He was given the honor. Who gave it to him? If Jesus was God, he would have had it already. Why does this seem so hard to understand?

Because the author is God, and He is inerrant. As Jesus said in prayer to his Father at John 17:17…”Your word is truth.” Well, based on the facts I mentioned above, there would be a “right”, ie., accurate, way to understand it. But it requires His help, as Jesus clarified at Luke 10:21…”In...

But Jesus didn’t say “Father”. He said “God”. (The other two persons, then?) It’s like at 2 Corinthians 13:14, ASV (which trinitarians seem to think supports their view, but it’s just the opposite)…. “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit...

My cousin, I posted to you what 2 Thess.1:9 says… punishment is “eternal destruction”. Are we to assume, then, that the Bible is contradicting itself? Of course not. So how can these verses agree with each other? Please consider how the Greek “basanistes” of the root word “basanos” is used, at...

2 Thessalonians 1:9 (KJV)…. “Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;” “Everlasting destruction” would be the opposite of “everlasting life.” Really, if someone was tormented forever & ever, they would have to be alive...

So, Judas Iscariot should be praised for the part he played in Jesus’ death? What does the Bible say? And re: the Jews, what did Jesus say at Matthew 23:37,38? (Especially vs.38.) EDIT: Oops! I just saw your post above mine, @Aunty Jane! Isn’t it amazing how, even tho we’re over 8,000 miles...

It doesn’t. Only by misunderstanding it. That’s how errant teachings arise: through misunderstanding it.

Hey, cousin… Yes, that would agree with the Scriptures, both the Hebrew & Greek. I have some questions: How could this be? To whom was Jesus praying all those many times? When Jesus came up from the waters, after he was baptized, who was speaking that said, “This is my son the beloved, whom I...

Excuse me…. Just for clarification: The one Person you worship, is Who, exactly? Jesus? Or his Father? Or someone else?

Or Persons, either…. Only for trinitarians.

Hey cousin, check www.2001translation.com , and read John 1:1 in their version. It is not affiliated with JW’s.

Adam, “son of God.” Luke 3:38 The angels are “sons of God,” who were living before earth's creation. Job 38:7 Although they are His sons (He gave them life), they are not God.

Never does the Bible say that “creation came from Jesus”! Never. “All things” came from the Father, but through Jesus. 1 Corinthians 8:5,6 Jesus was God’s agent. God’s “master worker”. Proverbs 8:30 Hebrews 1:1,2 states: “God … hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in his [God’s] Son...

Do some of the Scriptural Truths offend you? None, that are truths. But there are many falsehoods taught from the Bible that offend even God.

No… a perfect man, corresponding to Adam. Nothing more was needed.

Like what attributes, exactly? Didn’t Jesus say at Matthew 28:18, “All authority has been given me in heaven and on earth”? So we should expect Jesus to have certain attributes, more than any other being, besides God. Yes, Jesus Christ is the Lord to “whom every knee should bow”, because God...

I’m sorry for jumping to a wrong conclusion. It seemed that’s what you were implying. At Genesis 22:1 (NIV), it says “Some time later God tested Abraham.” And then, after Abraham passed the test, God says, “Now I know….”, it indicates, that, prior to the incident, God did not know. (Really...

Yes, He knows our inclinations. But our future actions? Our actions may be different from our inclinations. Take care.

Beliefs are a dime a dozen. What the Bible says, is the important thing. And it doesn’t contradict itself. Only beliefs. Where does it say omniscience has to include knowing what an individual will do in the future? Going by that parameter, then ultimately God is to blame for setting...

Hello. I appreciate those Scriptures — God certainly is wonderful! Just want to point out that none of those Scriptures highlights God’s ability to know future events carried out by particular individuals. Jehovah certainly can maneuver events to fulfill a future purpose, and there have been a...
