Why do you have a quarrel with God concerning the "countless interpretations of His word, yet God promised the church the Spirit of Truth" ? Jesus revealed that from the "one faith" (Eph 4:5) that he established and went into operation on Pentecost 33 C.E., there would come forth "weeds" or...

What is physical light ? According to Microsoft Reference Library 2005, "scientists have learned through experimentation that light behaves like a particle at times and like a wave at other times. The particle-like features are called photons. Photons are different from particles of matter in...

It was explained very carefully in Jason BeDuhn's comments concerning John 8:58, but you are like the Jewish religious leaders who rejected Jesus words about overstepping God's commands at Matthew 15:1-11. Hence, Jesus told his disciples about their unwillingness to reason on what was right...

The command to abstain from blood was given 856 years before the Mosaic Law covenant in 1513 B.C.E., when Noah and his family exited from the ark after the global deluge. God told Noah and his offspring: "Every moving animal that is alive may serve as food for you......Only flesh with its life -...

The holy spirit is not a person, but rather God's active force. By means of it, God created the universe and its life. That this true, Psalms 104 says that "if you send out your (noting possession by God, an integral part of him) spirit, they (the "heavens" and earth with all its life, Ps 104:2...

Since when is there the requirement to identify the translation that I use as the New World Translation ? But I will for your information. Of the accuracy of the New World Translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, Dr. Benjamin Kedar, professor emeritus of History at the Hebrew University of...

The Bible is often its own interpreter, as for example, "Gog of the land of Magog" at Ezekiel 38. Revelation 20 provides the answer in saying that "as soon as the thousand years have ended, Satan will be released from his prison, and he will go out to mislead those nations in the four corners of...

We are are indeed talking about lineage. Abel is not counted in the generational line or lineage, for Enoch was not born through his lineage. Rather, the generational line from Adam was followed by Seth, who fathered Enosh who fathered Kenan, who fathered Mahalalel, who fathered Jared, who...

The atom is not intelligent, but is the core basis or foundation upon which the material universe and its life is made and is described in quantum mechanics, and in which the atom is "basically empty space". It has within its framework fields or forces with opposite polarity (such as a water...

When Jesus was on the earth, he was King-Designate. Jesus knew that his becoming king was still far into the future (Luke 19:12), for he had not yet proved loyal to death in order to receive the "crown of life".(Rev 2:10) At Revelation 2:10, it points to the fact that those who are chosen to be...

Jesus stated clearly that God's Kingdom is a heavenly government that would have to be discerned when it went into operation; otherwise why call it a "the Kingdom of the heavens" ? Jesus also stated to his eleven faithful apostles on the night before his death: "In a little while the world (or...

What Jude wrote at Jude 14, of Enoch being the "seventh in line from Adam" is accurate, for counting from Adam is: (1) Adam, (2) Seth, (3) Enosh, (4) Kenan, (5) Mahalalel, (6) Jared, (7) Enoch. I need say no more on this matter, except that Jesus said some will "strain out the gnat but gulp down...

Was Jesus married to Mary Magdalene ? No. There are sound reasons why. Some few months before his death, Jesus said that "the Son of man came, not to be ministered to, but to minister and give his life as a ransom (Greek lytron) in exchange for many".(Matt 20:28) This was foretold over 700 years...

Jesus taught that God's heavenly Kingdom would not become fully operational for a long time after his death, and that is why he gave the illustration about "the man of noble birth" that had to travel to a "distant land to secure kingly power".(Luke 19:12) Otherwise, why were the disciples...

So what exactly are you saying ? I have no idea what you are talking about.

Jesus called the Kingdom a heavenly government at Matthew 13:11 and in which John the Baptist concurred at Matthew 3:2, telling those coming to him for baptism: "Repent, for the Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near". In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said: "Happy are those conscious of their...

Apparently, you have not read the apostle Matthew's gospel account, whereby he says that "from Abraham until David were 14 generations", including Abraham in the genealogy and then ""from David until the deportations to Babylon, 14 generations", including David in the counting of generations...

Was Jesus "claiming to be God" that the Jews were wanting to stone Jesus ? No. It was for his expressing that "most truly I say to you, before Abraham came into existence, I have been".(John 8:58) The argumentative Jews, who said that "you are not yet 50 years old, and still you have seen...
