    life... death...

    Jesus said in Matt.5: 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. but he said also: 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Will you accept only one part, and not the other one?

    What do you think it happens when Jesus died?

    Some people think that Jesus was somewhere , literally, during that time when he was dead, before his resurrection... It sounds illogical, that he was DEAD and ALIVE somewhere else at the same time, but that idea is very common in the present in many believers. The important thing is to realize...

    life... death...

    Human beings were not created to live in heaven (Gen. 1:28). The purpose of God is the reality; it will be as it is. There is a small group that will go there, to be with Jesus ... and that is a small group which is in a very special pact Jesus have made with them. They are brothers of Jesus...

    life... death...

    I totally agree. Will the spirit of God say to a human being, the opposite of what it inspired in the biblical writers (2 Pet. 1:19-21)? Truth is not a matter of how one thinks individually. Truth is a reality that exists outside of our ideas, and the spirit of God has caused that truth to be...

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    You are part of your own Imaginary CHURCH and you can imagine it the way you like ... It is just that: your own personal fantasy. God have had ALWAYS an organized people with humans organizers; Not matter if you like it or not, today iit is the same. You do have to look where it is; follow the...

    Hello there

    You can not say all that and delete dozens of posts just because they show some antitrinitarian arguments based on the Bible. What kind of doble moral is that?

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    Reading the account of Simeon, an old man whom Scripture says was "righteous and devout" and that "the Holy Spirit was upon him", I found that Jehovah is mentioned again here in the NT. Meditate a little on the story: what was promised to him, and how was it fulfilled? What were his words in...

    On the pre-existence of Jesus

    Some believers don't think Jesus was a spirit person next to God before being born as a human being. Nevertheless the Scriptures record many sayings of Jesus himself that indicate that this is the case. Some of them are registered by the inspired John in his gospel: John 1:1-3, 14,15, 18; 3:13...

    Workout your own salvation with fear and trembling

    In a commentary to the expression 'he emptied himself' in Phil 2:7 in a Bible Study I own, it says: he emptied himself: The Greek word rendered “emptied” literally means to remove the content of something. Here Paul uses the word figuratively with reference to Jesus, who gave up his spirit...

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    You may not have realized that every time Jesus mentions the first and most important commandment, he recites the Jewish Shema, that is, Deut. 6:4,5. Some recorded examples are: in Mark 12:29, and the second part is mentioned in Mat. 22:37,38 (Compare Deut. 10:12). However, although it is not...

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    In Acts 7 Stephen makes a brief recount since when God calls Abraham for the first time (Acts 7:2-7) until he calls Moses to bring Abraham's offspring out of Egypt (Acts 7:30-36). He then says that Jesus is the prophet that God told Moses that he would send in the future (Acts 7:37), but that...

    1Peter 3:18

    When angels went and talked to Abraham and ate with him ... Does that mean they have a kind of "double-body"? What kind of body angels have?

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    Peter said that there will come to be "new" heaven and earth compared to the ones that exist in this era. Peter said that it will happen because it is a promise from God. 2 Peter 3:13 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God (...) ? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    If we put John's inspired words in context, we can know what/who is he talking about. He mentioned in Rev. 19:11-16 the same person in John 1:1-3, and you know what? It is clearly Jesus whom he is referring to by that title: the Logos of God. Did you know that the Gospel and letters of John and...

    1Peter 3:18

    I think most Christians do not understand what a spirit body is. A "body" doesn't have to be fleshy. Angels have bodies, and their bodies are made of spirit, that's why they are invisible. The word "spirit" translates a Hebrew and a Greek words that mean also "wind". The idea in the word...

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    Jesus was very interested in his followers knowing clearly who had sent him. Just in his prayer to Jehovah recorded in John 17, he says about 7 times that he had made it clear to his followers that He had sent him. (Rotherham) John 17:1 These things spake Jesus, and lifting up his eyes unto...

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    No idea what you mean. The Father is an individual and Jesus is another different individual. Each of them have a different name: (ASV) Rev. 3:12 He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence no more: and I will write upon him the name of my...

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    AGAIN: I DO ACCEPT AND I WILL USE THE FORM JEHOVAH because everyone knows that it translates in English the hebrew name of God for centuries ... I am sure God answer to all English-speakers who call Him like that. So do not insist. Don't you know who I am talking about? You certainly do. Read...

    What do you think it happens when Jesus died?

    No need to. You need to accept that the issue with the comma there is real.

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    Jesus said not to call him "good" because only one is good, God (Mark 10:18). Notice here some interesting things that explain the reason for his words: (Rotherham) Mat.5:43 Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Be loving your...
