    Apologetics about Substitutionary Atonement

    Paul was not the "inventor" of the atonement doctrine. John talked about it: 1 John 2:2 And he is a propitiatory sacrifice for our sins, yet not for ours only but also for the whole world’s. ... 4:10 The love is in this respect, not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son...

    Is Jesus omniscient and omnipotent???

    What do you mean? Authority is not the same as power, or knowledge. It must be true that in heaven Jesus has received the greatest authority below God, the Father, but that does not place him on equality with him (1 Cor. 15:27). The simple fact of having received that authority already shows...

    Reasons why the Jehovah’s Witness religion is false (Despite my love for them as human beings)

    I've been reading some of your posts. I don't understand where all that hatred of yours comes from. Did any JW do any harm to you? Did any witness hurt you personally?

    Unholy items in home

    Everything related to magic, spiritualism, occultism, witchcraft, Santeria, demonism, Satanism, divination, astrology, witchcraft, etc., belongs to the kingdom of darkness. All of it should be "considered unholy and dangerous in terms of attracting evil spirits to our homes". Acts 19:11 And God...

    Michael the Archangel

    Exactly. Satan (and his angels) is not a counterpart of God. But yes, he was a counterpart to Jesus, the archangel, and his angels.

    Michael the Archangel

    I don't see any doctrine of men on saying that Jesus is the Archangel. All who say it support their understanding with the Scriptures. The Scriptures say the same things about Michael in Daniel times and about Jesus after the first century: Both Leaders of the angels; both of them are enemies...

    Michael the Archangel

    6) The scientist Isaac Newton, well known for his physical laws, some important astronomical and mathematical notes, etc. Many do not know that Newton was an avid student of the Bible and that although he did not usually publish much of the things he discovered, due to the time in which he...

    Michael the Archangel

    1) Ernst Wilhelm Hengstenberg, neo-Lutheran, said in his Commentary to Revelation 12 (vv. 7-9) : “Michael is no one but Christ.” https://www.studylight.org/commentaries/eng/heg/revelation-12.html 2) Johann Peter Lange, Calvinist, in his Commentary on Revelation 12:7 wrote: “We take it that...

    Have we misunderstood Genesis 1:1?

    A common mistake among many believers is thinking that the light that God is said to have created on the first day (Gen. 1:3) refers to the light of the entire Universe. That is incorrect: that light refers to the clarity that was reaching the earth partially from the sky, since in its original...

    Have we misunderstood Genesis 1:1?

    When Jehovah created the earth, he had already created his angelic sons. Job 38:4 Where were you when I founded the earth? Tell me, if you think you understand. 5 Who set its measurements, in case you know, Or who stretched a measuring line across it? 6 Into what were its pedestals sunk, Or who...

    Have we misunderstood Genesis 1:1?

    The entire Universe has a beginning; Every single particle, visible or invisible, was part of the creation of God, who is Spirit and does not belong to the created world. Each single particle that exists in the entire Universe is a concentrate of energy produced by God Himself. The Bible talks...

    Have we misunderstood Genesis 1:1?

    No article is needed to complete a translation with an article that expresses the same original idea. You can check this by reviewing the texts I cited where the same phrase is used without an article and all the biblical versions I have consulted add the article without generating any...

    What did Christ mean saying, God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

    According to the Scriptures, all the dead without exception are in Sheol/Hades in a state of unconsciousness. Let's say it's as if your DNA was preserved for God to recover the information of the person who died and all their memories to give life back again in the future. That is God's...

    Have we misunderstood Genesis 1:1?

    The expression "in the beginning" (in Hebrew) without an article appears in several texts of the Hebrew Scriptures, in the same way that it appears in Gen. 1:1. See: Jer. 26:1; 27:1; 28:1; 49:34; Hos. 9:10.

    Have we misunderstood Genesis 1:1?

    The re-translation you speak of is already used in Jewish translations. If some "Christians" want to apply it, it is not a matter of translation but a matter of reinterpretation; Because the new age of biblical interpreters deny the Eden story and support the evolution of species, as well as...

    Where did the Bible come from? - Shot out of a canon

    Both the Jewish Scriptures and the Christian Scriptures were carefully preserved through time to the present day. What we read in our Bibles did not come from the air, but from manuscripts and writings preserved for a long time, and copied with great care to be preserved without being...

    Cessationism versus Continuationism - The fallacy of "Signs Gifts".

    The fact that first century Christians were anointed directly from heaven and received gifts of the holy spirit does not mean that modern "Christians" enjoy those same benefits. For example, in ancient times the Israelites saw miracles such as the ten plagues in Egypt, the sea parting, the cloud...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    Endless discussion with no end. You don't know me; Jesus does. I don't care what you think about me, so don't make the thread something personal. If you don't like my comment: ... or about Christendom in general: It's Ok with me. True Christian INDIVIDUALS, in a closed system or not, always...

    The Only Way We Will Ever Agree

    No way all will agree. Scriptures say so: 2 Thess. 2:8 Then, indeed, the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will do away with by the spirit of his mouth and bring to nothing by the manifestation of his presence. 9 But the lawless one’s presence is by the operation of Satan with...
