God's Kingdom is a subject that has been a "hot" topic since Jesus gave explanations about it through both his comments and illustrations.(see Matt 20:21; Luke 19:11) Before the rebellion in the garden of Eden some 6,000 years ago, the only governmental arrangement was God's universal...

Jude is accurate in his "math" concerning that Enoch is "the 7th one in line from Adam".(Jude 14; see also Luke 3:37) Here it is (1) Adam, (2) Seth, (3) Enosh, (4) Kenan, (5) Mahalalel, (6) Jared, (7) Enoch.(Gen 5:3-21) Enoch's is counted as the 7th one in line from Adam. And by Enoch's words...

What will happen to those who reject theocratic appointments, either directly from God or from Jesus Christ, such as Jesus choosing Paul as an apostle ? The account at Number 16 answers this question, wherein a Levite named Korah, and Reubenites Dathan, Abiram and On rejected God's appointment...

In giving the illustration about "wheat" being sown and then "while men were sleeping", an "enemy" oversowing weeds among the "wheat", Jesus brought forth that Christianity or the "one faith" (Eph 4:5) that he established with "wheat" or his genuine disciples would be infiltrated with...

To the contrary, Jesus did call Paul to be one of his apostles, and in which you blatantly disregard what Jesus told Paul on the way to Damascus: "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me ?" to which Saul (or Paul, his Latin name) replied: "Who are you, Lord ?" whereby Jesus answers: "I am Jesus...

Yes, recognizing the context is vital in order to grasp many "truths" of the Bible, as for example when Jesus said to the Jews that "if anyone who observes my word, he will never taste death at all".(John 8:51) The Jews responded by saying that "You are not greater than our father Abraham, who...

Apparently you disagree with Jesus appointing Paul as one of his apostles. The account at Acts 9 confirms Paul's selection as an apostle by Jesus (though not considered as of "the Twelve"), for Jesus told Ananias that "this man is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name to the nations as well as...

Is Greek grammar what establishes just who Jesus is ? If I tell you that I am so-and-so, showing you my driver's license, credit cards, pictures of my family, and birth certificate, then you say that well, I need to show you grammatically exactly who I am, whose the one that needs help ? Jesus...

Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses are doing that, some 8.2 million of them in 240 lands, conducting an average of 10,115, 264 Bible studies each month, carefully following Jesus words to "go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations......teaching them to observe all the things I have...

Perhaps, those who call themselves "Christian", but do shameful things are not the genuine article. Jesus called them "weeds" at Matthew 13:24-30, who have badged themselves as "Christian". Authentic Christians are noted by Jesus as "wheat", "righteous ones (that) shine as brightly as the sun"...

Again, you fail to be a careful student of the Bible, for if saying "I am" (according the rendering of the archaic King James Bible whose language is long out of date) at John 8:58 means that Jesus is God, then the man born blind at John 9 is also God, for he said the same two Greek words "ego...

It is apparent that those who adhere to the postulation that "the Lord Jesus is God" are not serious about examining the Bible. These ones are not genuinely searching the Bible, but are like the Jews of which Jesus spoke: "The works that my Father assigned me to accomplish, these works that I am...

Many among God's loyal ones have asked him questions. In about the year 1919 B.C.E., when an ancient man named Abraham (at 99 years old) was told about the possible destruction of Sodom (where his nephew Lot was living) and Gomorrah by angels (Gen 18:20, 21), he asked questions concerning the...

Does the Bible establish "the nature of the triune God" ? As with a court case, the facts must be presented no matter how painful it may be for some. Does Titus 2:13 say that Jesus is God ? What did the apostle Paul say when beginning to write to Titus ? He wrote: "To Titus, a genuine child...

The universe has an estimated age of about 13.8 billion years. And it been examined closely by astronomers and others that recognize its precise organization of stars, galaxies and clusters (and life on the earth) that cause some to feel in awe of its immenseness, power and precision. Yet, it...

The "serpent", perhaps being used like a ventriloquist does a "dummy", first called into question God's command to not eat from the "tree of knowledge of good and bad" (Gen 2:17), by asking: "Did God really (Heb aph that implies opposition to something required) say that you must not eat from...

Yes, Christianity "was founded for both Jews and Gentiles (people of the nations)". Jesus established Christianity (for its name comes from Christ) that went into full operation on Pentecost 33 C.E. with the outpouring of holy spirit.(Acts 2:4) In 1513 B.C.E., Jehovah God established the nation...

Jesus is "a god", for the apostle John wrote concerning him: "No man has seen God at any time; the only-begotten god (Greek monogenes theos or created god) who is at the Father's side is the one who has explained him".(John 1:18) Jesus said in the Bible book of Revelation: "These are the things...

Let's see if Daniel 9:24-27 can be simplified. Its purpose is to lay out the time table that "have been determined for your people (Daniel's or those who honor Jehovah not just "the Lord" or the Jews; see 1 Sam 2:30 whereby Jehovah God says that "those honoring me will be honored, but those...

With the establishment of Christianity on Pentecost 33 C.E. that would involve not just Jews locally but also "devout Jews from every nation under heaven" (Acts 2:5), there was now a need for extraordinary measures, such as speaking in different "tongues", in making known "the good news of the...
