What example did Jesus himself set? Was he baptized in water before he was baptized with holy spirit? Did Jesus need to be baptized in water? Why was John reluctant to do it? All who underwent John’s baptism had to be baptized “in the name of The Father, son and Holy Spirit” In recognition of...

Absolute unscriptural rubbish. Since you cannot seem to explain the necessity for being “born again” and you cannot explain what it’s for, and what it means, perhaps I should include this statement from the apostle Paul.....of whom you appear to be very fond...? To the Corinthians, Paul...

You don’t have to be “born again” to entertain the hope of everlasting life....were Adam and his wife ever offered the opportunity to be “born again”? What does it even mean? No one seems to be able to explain it, or to fit it into the Bible’s overall narrative. So all Christians are “saints”...

No Scripture says so. There never was a choice between these “destinations” because they were never mentioned in God’s first purpose for the human race..... there never was such a choice. All Adam was told about was life or death...that’s it. Obey and live....disobey and die. No “heaven or hell”...

What is this patriotic blindness you manifest Wrangler? Do you really believe that “lifting a finger to prevent being ruled by Satanists” is something humans need to do, when God handed the world over to the devil for that very reason? (Luke 4: 5-7) You really think that God is not in control of...

Many refer to the words Jesus spoke to the thief hung alongside of him.....perhaps this is what you are referring to? Luke 23:39-43.... “One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!” But the other answered, and...

Did Jesus go immediately to heaven? NO! He was in his tomb (Sheol) waiting for his Father to resurrect him…he hadn’t gone anywhere. And he remained on earth for 40 days before returning to heaven. The Jewish belief was not in an immortal soul…the soul would sleep in death until the...

We don’t, but again it is the intent of the words…..he was referring to Jonah’s experience…..and the Semitic understanding that a day included the night…a day began at sundown, so naturally included the night. Don’t we include nights in the counting of our days? Thursday night for Jews was part...

Any professed “Christian” who is neck deep in their nation’s politics has missed the point of why they are even in power. There is only one entity who has the power to give rulership to whomever he pleases (Luke 4:5-7)…..God permits it…but please don’t ever think that God approves of any of it...

Some argue from Jesus’ words….. “As Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” (Matt 12:40) This would seem to mean a full 72 hours, but we must not ignore other similar expressions that show the...

The parable of the rich man and Lazarus is just that. Taking it literally makes the whole scenario rather ridiculous. It is an illustration that demonstrates God shifting his favor from the corrupt Jewish leadership and giving it to the “lost sheep” to whom Jesus was sent. These spiritually...

Or a statement that God owes us nothing more than what he has already given us…..so what is that? What has God given us so that we might complain about our lot in life? Did he intend us to have grief or suffering? Were we designed for disability and pain? What about death? How do we handle that...

Since “hell” (sheol/hades) is “the grave”…..every single human who has ever died, has gone to “hell”….it is a place of rest….with no consciousness or activity as Solomon wrote in Eccl 9:5,6,10. Even their “love” has “perished”. Is there no love after death if souls are conscious and active...

“Babylon the great” is also translated as “the greater Babylon…..so, what is the Babylon connection? What do those in “Babylon the great“ all have in common? And why is it God’s instruction for his “people” to “get out of her” before he brings her to ruin? (Rev 18:4-5) Why are his “people” in...

Are you a relative of Jack? He also thinks that anyone who disagrees with him must be a JW…..hmmx1: Abraham and Sarah were half siblings….so @MA2444 was correct. Abraham wasn’t lying when he said she was his sister. Look it up….

Taking my right of reply whether you read it or not…. I put someone as biblically illiterate as you are in the first category, which is why I have had you on “ignore” for quite some time. I have a cursory glance now and again, but you talk absolute nonsense, with little to no reference to...

No, the desire is for the power itself…that is what corrupts even the those who want to change the status quo for the better….they may have good intentions but at the end of the day, those good intentions are hamstrung by the system that controls it. The President is himself a puppet of the one...

Since the entire human race began with just two people, it is evident that incest would be involved in the production of more children. Brothers and sisters would marry and produce children. And they had forever to complete the task assigned. (Gen 5:4-5) Since no sin was planned for the human...

Can you give us one single scripture that says “ the soul leaves the body“ as a conscious living entity? Once you swallow satan’s original lie…then there are just variations on that same theme…..there has to be somewhere for that “soul” to go because you ‘surely did not die’…..but God said that...

I am amazed at the number of “Christians” (particularly in the US) who are up to their necks in politics.….and who come out swinging at the mere mention of the opposition. Who can stand at a neutral distance and not see that ”democracy” is an illusion? No form of human government tried by any...
