And again: read the whole passage, not only a fragment, so you can get the whole idea. Maybe you are missing this part: (New American Standard Bible) Rom. 1:28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a depraved mind, to do those things that are not proper, 29...

Sure, Paul knew what he was talking about, and all who read the inspired writing and its context ... Romans 1 New American Standard Bible

Paul says that is one of the consequences of rejecting the truth ... There are many other consequences of doing that. Read the whole passage and you'll understand that point. Don't you know any other consequence for rejecting the evident truth? I see, for example, false Christians acting worse...

There is a prophecy from the Hebrew Scriptures that 1st century Christians remembered when non-Jews began to worship Jehovah, the Jews' God, together with the Jews who were first called, following the Messiah sent by God, His Christ. Amos 9:11 ‘In that day I will raise up the booth of David...

Devoting one's life to temporary pleasures and get some bad personal consequences is not the only result of departing from biblical principles. Paul only mentioned the tendency to perform improper acts due to rejecting biblical principles, but it is obvious that this rejecting the truth has many...

Thanks for your good will. I guess you do not understand what this means: 1 Pet. 1:3 Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for according to his great mercy he gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an incorruptible and...

The question about WHY should be related to the question about TO WHOM ... In verse 18 (Rom. 1) it says who is this passage about: Rom. 1:18b ... against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness. There it is; it says to whom and why ... TO WHOM: to...

As I already said: I already made my point. Whoever is new to the topic, he can read behind some good points. I am not the kind of person who like to repeat and repeat and repeat the same when it is already clear. This is my last post in the topic. Hopefully some interested persons can make...

I have already made clear the point for which I opened this topic: the expression I AM is not biblical, nor does it matter to God who uses it, much less to Jesus, who never spoke of something like that. It is a fanciful invention of some speculators who like to imagine things and invent wacky...

Grammar is not a field for newbies to brag about... The meaning of a word in Greek is more than a copy/paste from GreekBoston.com The word "god" in Greek means many diferent things depending not only if it is in a specific case, but depending on to whom it is aplied, if it has the definite...

Jesus clearly said that Jehovah, the One who Jews say is their God, is his Father (John 8:54,55). Even if it seems very obvious and basic, many people have not yet realized that when Jesus Christ was talking about his Father, his listeners were thinking on Jehovah, the God of the OT, the God...

The words "messiah" and "christ" mean the same thing: "anointed". Implicit in the definition of these synonyms is the fact that an Anointed one, Christ or Messiah, cannot in any way be the same person who anoints. It was Jehovah who anointed Jesus: (ASV) Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth...

This thread is not about the trinity. Some people have an obsession with that topic, and they want to talk about the same everywhere, diverting all biblical topics towards the same, and speaking ill of those who do not believe in that doctrine of the Catholic Church. This thread is about the...

There are still many more ways to identify Jehovah, the God of the OT, as the God mentioned by Jesus and the inspired writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures. One of them is the application of the following text from the pre-Christian Scriptures: Ps. 2:7 Let me proclaim the decree of Jehovah...

Very accurate info. Jesus was the "cornerstone" of the real God's spiritual temple (Ps. 118:22; Matt. 21:42) or the head of THE BODY, like some people say: of the Church. I agree with you, that when he said he would rise "the temple of his body" (John 2:21) he was referring to the "one and...

In a strictly literal sense, no matter how dark there is, if a light is turned on, the darkness cannot prevent it from spreading. Jesus used a similar example in Matt. 5:14-16. The area of Galilee was considered an area of spiritually lost people, because it had a history of being an area with...

This topic is not about the English form Jehovah that translates the Tetragrammaton in so many Bibles since centuries ago ... I do accept and will use that form because everyone who speaks English knows to whom it refers to and who is Jehovah, and certainly you do not know what God thinks about...

When the Scriptures are studied thoroughly, conscientiously, we discover many truths that are rarely discussed. For example, in Heb. 1:1,2 we read the following: (KJV) Heb. 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 hath in these...

In the same Psalm quoted before, we read the following: Ps. 110:4 Jehovah has sworn an oath, and he will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever In the manner of Melchizedek!” Only there can we read about the appointment of Jesus as a priest ... According to this text, who swore that...

I totally agree with you, @BARNEY BRIGHT . Spiritual beings like angels have a body that is not like ours, but is distinguishable from each other. That individual characteristic allows them to have their own personal name, such as the angel Gabriel or the Archangel Michael. They can also...
