Due to a misunderstanding of Genesis 1:14-16, many feel that Jehovah God "made" the sun and the moon on the 4th "creative" day. However, this is not the case, for as Genesis 1:1 says, that "in the beginning, God created the heavens (which included the sun) and the earth. If you will notice that...

The word "theology" is not in the Bible, but is what the religious leaders of Christendom has conjured up from allowing Greek philosophy to infect their thinking. The word means: "the study of religion; religious theory; course of religious training."(Microsoft Encarta Reference Library 2005)...

If a serial killer were on the loose, what is the wise thing to do ? What would Jesus do ? As Jesus said at Matthew 10, to be "cautious as serpents but innocent as doves." It need be noted that in addition to being "cautious as serpents", being very careful where we go, Jesus also noted that a...

Romans 13 says that the governments stand placed in their "relative positions " by God.(Rom 13:1; Matt 22:21, Acts 5:29) And you, as with so many others, have the incorrect view of why Jehovah God had his people destroy the Canaanites.(Num 21:1-3, 34, 35; Jos 6:20, 21) This fact has been used by...

I realize that you have no real interest in what the Bible really teaches, but is just in effect making fun of Ecclesiastes 9:5. Paul wrote to Timothy that "all Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in...

The rendering of Acts 20:28 according to the King James Bible is inaccurate, and in which some have tried to use it in support of the trinity. The translators have rearranged the words, from the original reading of "Pay attention to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the holy spirit...

Jesus telling Peter to "return the sword to its place" was to provide how a genuine Christian is to act, to be ' peaceable with all men as far it depends on you'.(Rom 12:18) Jesus teachings are incompatible with violence, for "when being reviled", what did Jesus do ? It says that "he did not go...

At Genesis 1:1, it says that "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." This naturally included our sun, for since its becoming as a fiery ball, it has remained stable and will continue to do so forever. Why ? Because Jehovah God made the earth for human habitation for all...

Because Coptic "Christians" have been "persecuted under the law", are they to turn around and give out violence ? Is it "understandable" that they would do this ? Only from the "world's" viewpoint, not God's. Jesus told his eleven faithful apostles: "These things I command you, that you love one...

The churches of Christendom have shown what they are "made of ", by continuing to promote violence. For example, in the news today (4/7/13) is Coptic Christians in Egypt who were "angered by the killing of four Christians", clashing with a mob, "which exchanged rocks and firebombs....turning...

If a person were to adhere to the King James Bible's rendering of Matthew 11:12, that says: "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force", it gives the impression that a Christian uses violence as a means to acquire...

What is the resurrection ? What did Jesus mean by saying that he is "the resurrection and the life" whereby "he that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life" ? The word resurrection in Greek is from the word a·na´sta·sis and literally means “raising up; standing up.” At 1...

At Matthew 24, three days before his death, Jesus asked a question that raised other questions: "Who really ("really", Greek ara, that is "an interrogative particle ["implying anxiety or impatience on the part of the questioner".], i.e. marking of an inferential question to which a negative...

When Jesus said at John 10:30 that "I and the Father are one", what did he mean ? To show that they are in unity. At John 17, Jesus, in prayer to his Father just before his death, said: "I make request, not concerning these only (the disciples at that time), but also concerning those putting...

Yes, I am.

Though the phrase "Our Church is the only Church of Jesus Christ" has been used, is it true that there is only one true religion ? At Ephesians 4, the apostle Paul said that there is "one Lord, one faith, one baptism".(Eph 4:5) Hence, are there many "faiths" in the Bible or just one that pleases...

The words "in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one" at 1 John 5:7 in many Bibles were added by a later hand in a Latin treatise. They are not in the earliest Greek manuscripts of the Bible, such as the Codex Vaticanus and the Codex Sinaiticus of the 4th...

Was Jesus promoting pacifism at Matthew 26:52 ? Did Jesus tell Peter to use the sword in his behalf ? No, and if you had read more carefully Luke 22, it could be recognized why Jesus had a sword brought along, that he "be reckoned with lawless ones" in fulfilling Isaiah 53:12, these "lawless...

So many that call themselves Christian fail to understand why Jesus gave the command to his disciples to ' buy a sword ', not reading the next verses, in which Jesus said: "For I tell you that this which is written (written where ? at Isaiah 53:12) must be accomplished in me, namely, ' And he...

Catchy religious phrases in the churches of Christendom are common, but say nothing accurately Scripturally. For example, the phrase "once saved, always saved" is not true, but is a push toward saying that "anything goes" once a person is "saved", that Jehovah God will forgive you no matter what...
