I love this post of yours. It expresses exactly in what sense we can know God in Jesus' words and life. Jesus was near his Father, God, millions and millions of years before humans came to be created. He knows the Father very well and as that kind of Son, he can resemble Him to perfection...

"Church" is about a congregation or local community; it may include two or more individuals ... but when talking about the whole "Church" the term adquire a deeper significance and become a synonym for the "body of Christ" composed of himself as the head and his anointed brethren as joined...

Christendom can only offer a false, ambiguous and incomplete idea of what the word "church" might mean. Its religious leaders and theologians cannot conceive of the Church described in the NT because in the group of what they call "Christians" there is not what the Bible describes as the...

As of Pentecost 33, Jesus' disciples were no longer "gypsies"... The seeds had been sown, and while a few engaged in missionary work, others preached locally and met in their own family homes. Principles of community and a centralized direction were established based of the original messages of...

The term "Jew" when applied to Christians takes on a completely different connotation. It no longer means belonging to a race in the flesh, but rather having a very specific spiritual relationship with Jehovah and his Son. According to Revelation it is totally the contrary: the 144000 are the...

No need. You do not know Jesus, you do not know Jehovah (not "the Lord" ... that is not God's name). Let me teach you who is Jehovah and who is Jesus: 1) Jesus was anointed by Jehovah: Psal. 2:1,2 and Acts 4:24-27; 2) Jesus was the prophet "Moses-like" that Jehovah had promised: Deut...

Jesus called his Father "Lord of heaven and earth." Matt. 11:25 At that time Jesus said in response: “I publicly praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intellectual ones and have revealed them to young children. 26 Yes, O Father...

You assume that everything that is said to Christians in the NT applies to you... Doesn't that seem inconsistent with the fact that, for example, almost all of Paul's letters were written to brothers who were united and members of organized congregations? The letter to the Galatians, to the...

As he was dying, "Jesus called out with a loud voice", saying: Matt. 27:46 (...) “Eli, Eli, lama sa·bachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Paul mentions this reality with complete freedom of speech, not fear: Heb. 5:7 During his life on earth, Christ offered up...

You don't follow the biblical model: ... elders, overseer, teachers and students, congregations and local meetings, travelling representatives, central body of decision makers, organized preaching campaigns and study material, church funds and caring for each other, baptisms, and the many other...

When Jesus was baptized, God spoke FROM HEAVENS ;) Luke 3:21 Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus too was baptized. As he was praying, the heaven was opened up, 22 and the holy spirit in bodily form like a dove came down upon him, and a voice came out of heaven: “You are my Son, the...

God never became a man. God was still in heavens while his Son was a man... ;) John 4:21 Jesus said to her: “Believe me, woman, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. 22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, because...

Martha knew about the resurrection on earth that was promised to Daniel, because when Jesus was talking to her after the death of Lazarus, her brother, she told him the following: John 11:24 (...) "I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day". Notice that in the words of Martha and...

Then you should be more coherent: you say that God became a man so he could die, and then you say that he didn't die anyway, and that it was a hoax.

Of course we're not anyone's judge, but at least we know we shouldn't be impressed by anyone who claims to be whatever they say they are... The important thing is to be willing to consider whether the things we believe are really supported by Scripture, especially if we are talking about them...

Numbers 23:19 God is not a man that he should tell lies, Neither a son of mankind that he should feel regret Hosea 11:9 (...) For I am God and not man, The Holy One in your midst (...) 1 Samuel 15:29 Moreover, the Excellency of Israel will not prove false or change his mind, for He is not a...

"born again" and "endowed with the Holy Spirit" ... like all those pastors of Christendom who are mentioned in the most notorious scandals of the news? They are the first and most outstanding self-proclaimed "born again" ... but in the religious forums on the internet we have thousands of other...

What hope did Jehovah offer his servants before Christ? Let's see what Daniel's hope was when he was very old: "But as for you, go on to the end. You will rest, but you will stand up for your lot at the end of the days" (Dan. 12:13).

... and humans killed God :eek:

That is not very appropriate for us to say, since God's original purpose when he made the first human couple was for them to multiply, fill the earth and expand that garden where they were placed and which was given to them as a model (Gen. 1:28). . To say that life on earth is little for a...
