Those accusing others of mocking God’s words can also be misled. What if it’s you who are actually doing the mocking by promoting a doctrine that Jesus never once directly mentioned. You think this can’t apply to yourself? When Jesus comes as judge, he will be the one who determines who is...

Christianity was a shared faith….evangelizing was a very important part of being a Christian….preaching is how it was spread, as Paul said….quoting Joel 2:32 he said….in Romans 10:13-15..… “For “everyone who calls on the name of YHWH will be saved.” 14 However, how will they call on him in whom...

The advocate is the “paraklētos” defined as…. “summoned, called to one's side, esp. called to one's aid one who pleads another's cause before a judge, a pleader, counsel for defense, legal assistant, an advocate one who pleads another's cause with one, an intercessor”. Greek is also a language...

It says what it says….why question a clear unequivocal statement? Perhaps we need to explore the word “begotten” to clear up this misinterpretation? The word is “monogenes” and as it indicates, “mono” means singular. Strongs defines “monogenes” as…. single of its kind, only used of only sons...

Read that whole passage in Greek, David (John 10:31-36)….there are no capital letters in Greek, so there is no “God” with a capital “G”. They accused him of claiming to be divine, not God. (”theos”, not “ho theos”) They wanted to convict him so as to have an excuse to have him executed. They...

“The angel of the Lord is God”? So you are saying that God is an angel now? :ummm: And you get upperty when we suggest that the “son of God“ is an angel….not just “an angel” but “the Archangel Michael”….the commander of the angelic forces…….make up your mind….because God is who he is, was, and...

Using the definite article was the only way to distinguish the ONE God of Israel in a polytheistic society. The Romans were polytheists too….they also had multiple gods who all had names….Israel’s God by contrast was only addressed as “LORD” which was a mere title of respect given even by slaves...

But Christendom has the truth in a multitude of differing denominations, all teaching different things, yet all united on this one very important doctrine, as they are in satan’s other lies….immortality of the soul, and a hell of eternal torment. (1 John 5:19) All false worship believes these...

As long as the discussion remains civil, without the personal finger pointing, there is no reason for the door to be closed again…..the number of pages and responses suggests that this is a worthy topic for airing beliefs and the scriptural reasons for them. There are readers here who are...

We are discussing what the first Christians believed….all were Jewish and monotheists. Judge for yourself if that has a bearing in this discussion.

Well, not all non-trinitarians are JW’s…perhaps it’s good to acknowledge that fact… Reactionary? YES!!! And why wouldn’t we react to false doctrines being promoted as Bible truth? It’s not until you actually study the Bible itself and allow it to provide answers that you can see through the...

I keep seeing you ignore some very obvious clues in the verses you quote but they seem to go right over your head…. The title of the one who stood before Joshua was “Commander of the army of the Lord”. Who was “the Lord” to Joshua? If you read this account in the Jewish Tanakh you will see that...

No he didn’t….Read Luke 4:5-7….satan offered Jesus all the Kingdoms of the world because he said they had been “delivered to him”…..who alone could give the devil world rulership. (1John 5:19) Did Jesus deny his claim? Yes….the very reason why the devil tried it on….like I said, he is evil, not...

Who said he was just a man….he was a very unique man…..Adam’s equivalent….perfect and sinless. He had to be to redeem the human race….it was an exact payment. Do you understand the mechanics of the ransom? Jesus was not worshipped by angels or men. Look up the word in Greek and see that it can...

What we got wrong was the timing of one prophesy…..but so did the apostles….understanding is progressive….when Jesus was ascending to Heaven the apostles thought he was going to set up the Kingdom on earth there and then (Acts 1:6).….but here we are still waiting almost 2000 years later…..now...

But the devil is evil…he is not stupid. He tempted two other sinless humans and won them over by lying to them. Did he lie to Jesus? Were all the kingdoms of the world really in his possession to give to whomever he wanted? (Luke 4:5-7) Could Jesus turn stones into loaves of bread? He turned...

God’s firstborn….was a spirit son before he became a human son of God. He was “with God” so how can he be God? Even if you had a twin and you were “with” them, you would still be two different people. Yes, since all creation came “through” the son…but not from him. (Prov 8:30-31) He was like...

Yep, clear as day…..he “breathed” his last breath before dying and offering his life for ours. What did King David say? ‘Thoughts perish at death’…his son Solomon said the same thing. (Eccl 9:5, 10) ….there is NO conscious part of humans that exits the body at death. Christ was in his tomb for...

He already had two sinless individuals whom he managed to convince that it was better to listen to the planting of seeds of doubt than to obey the express command of their God. One rebel then became three. As beings endowed with free will, even perfect sinless humans can make wrong choices….the...

“Like father, like son”…it’s not a difficult concept is it? He was “the image” of his Father in all respects except one….he is said to be the “image of the invisible God”….(Col 1:15)….so can one be an image of one who is not visible? He can only be like him in character and personality.
