John 17:3 talks about knowing God and the one He sent...two different persons. If someone is confusing God with the one He sent, that person doesn't know any of them.

The simple fact that Jesus was invisible most of the time after being resurrected shows that his new body was spirit, not flesh. 1 Tim. 3:16 Indeed, the sacred secret of this godly devotion is admittedly great: ‘He was made manifest in flesh, was declared righteous in spirit, appeared to...

Evidently the prophecy in Joel 2:28-30 was fulfilled in "the last days" of the Jewish religious system, with its temple in Jerusalem and the Aaronic priesthood. That is what Peter said in Acts 2:17-21, and you can't realize it :rolleyes:. Acts 2:16 On the contrary, this is what was said through...

It seems evident that you have never studied the relationship between Jehovah and Jesus. 1) Jesus was anointed by Jehovah (Psal. 2:1,2; Acts 4:26,27) 2) Jesus was the prophet "Moses-like" that Jehovah had promised (Dt. 18:15-18; Acts 3:18-22) 3) Jehovah sat Jesus Christ at His right hand when...

You need some reading comprehension: Acts 3:13 The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has glorified his Servant, Jesus, whom you handed over and disowned before Pilate, even though he had decided to release him. ... 5:30 The God of our forefathers raised up...

Again: What part of this is not clear enough to you? John 8:54 Jesus answered: “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, the one who you say is your God. 55 Yet you have not known him, but I know him. And if I said I do not know him, I would be like you, a...

Second-century Christians spoke of the gifts of the spirit as something of the past, which had only occurred during the apostolic era, when the apostles or some of those who they laid hands on directly were still alive.

Tongues have ceased. The Greek verb for "cease", παύω, is used about tongues BUT not to refer to prophecies or knowledge. The Greek verb καταργέω used about prophecies and knowledge means something else, something like to cease to be useful. That means that no one is given today outstanding...

And I will give the answer to your question as soon as you open that thread.

Out of topic. Anyway: Jesus came to earth to fulfill a mission. He knew that he would have to die, and then he would be resurrected and credit would be given for having fulfilled everything to the full. Hebrews 5:7 During his life on earth, Christ offered up supplications and also petitions...

Implication: Jesus didn't become better than the angels before his death. (Hebrews 1:4) Hebrews 1:9 You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you with the oil of exultation more than your companions.

After his resurrection, Jesus was not in a visible body most of the time. He would appear at times and then disappear from their sight. His existence was no longer of flesh but of invisible spirit. Acts 10:40 God raised this one up on the third day and allowed him to become manifest, 41 not to...

Thanks for the reply. Notice this verse: Acts 4:12 Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved. That name that implies salvation was given only AFTER Jesus' death and resurrection, not...

The GOOD is not defined by ourselves according to our own personal interests... It is a concept that only our Creator Himself can define. Something that may seem necessary, sufficient or beneficial to us could be exactly the opposite. If we ask our God, He will tell us what is really best for...

Some people confuse LOVE with PERMISSIVENESS.

What part of this is not clear enough to you? John 8:54 Jesus answered: “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, the one who you say is your God. 55 Yet you have not known him, but I know him. And if I said I do not know him, I would be like you, a liar. But...

What do you think about when this did happen: Hebrews 1:4 So he has become better than the angels to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs. 1) Did that happen when Jesus was begotten (i.e. at the moment of his origin)? 2) Did that happen when he was exalted and...

Mmmh, I won't waste my time trying to dialog with machines, NO. :rolleyes:

Do I need to be a scholar to know that when Jesus mentioned his Father and his God he is talking about Jehovah? John 8:54 Jesus answered: “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, the one who you say is your God. 55 Yet you have not known him, but I know him...

Unjust people must FEAR God and His judgement... His loyal servants already respect Him. Rom. 13:3 (...) rulers are an object of fear, not to the good deed, but to the bad. Do you want to be free of fear of the authority? Keep doing good, and you will have praise from it; 4 for it is God’s...
