    Hopefully this will pique someone's interest and be of benefit to them.

    The Existence and Comprehension of God

    To comprehend God, a person has to look at both his creation and his word, the Bible. Of God, the apostle Paul wrote that "his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they...

    The Holy Trinity

    Rob, What you are saying is that Thomas statement at John 20:28 has more weight of authority than Jesus own words just a few verse earlier, whereby Jesus said to Mary that he was "ascending to my God and your God."(John 20:17) This is like accepting hearsay over the statement of someone who is...

    The Holy Trinity

    Everyone that is "begotten" had a beginning. Any one can look up the word "begotten" and see for themselves that it means "to procreate or generate (offspring)".(Dictionary.com), with the synonyms being "spawn, sire, breed, father, generate." With Jesus saying that he is the "only-begotten Son...

    The Holy Trinity

    Rob, Do you think that putting your response in big bold fonts will make it anymore Scripturally correct ? In texting, this is called "shouting", as if you were screaming in another person's ear. Especially if you duplicate your words. This makes the trinity no less of a lie. Jesus himself...

    The Holy Trinity

    In refusing to bow down and do one act of worship to Satan, Jesus quoting from Deuteronomy 5:9, told him: "Go away, Satan! For it is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service ["sacred service", Greek word la·treu´seis ].’”(Matt 4:10)...

    Have The Last Days Begun?

    Though some feel that we are not living in the "last days", others feel that we personally are living in the "last days" and for good reason. It is true that there were different time periods called the "last days", such as in the first century, before the end of the Jewish system of things in...

    The Holy Trinity

    Miss Hepburn, There is the vital need of accurate knowledge of the Bible. If one were to use a map in which the street names were either misassigned to their respective streets or altered so as to confuse or even cause people to become lost, would this map being of any value ? We probably...

    Are There Major Differences Between The Hebrew Text And Our Bibles?

    In just about all Bibles, there are Scriptures in the "original Hebrew text" (commonly called the "Old Testament") that direct one's attention to everlasting life on the earth.(In the Christian Greek Scriptures, commonly called the "New Testament", everlasting life in heaven is also brought...

    The Holy Trinity

    B.F.Westcott and F.J.A. Hort were two Cambridge Bible scholars, who worked independently of each other for 28 years on the Greek text, continually comparing notes from 1853-1881. The statement that "many of the prominent translators, Westcott and Hort in particular....were professed unbelievers...

    The Holy Trinity

    The rendition of the King James Bible of Acts 20:28, which says: "to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood ", we should examine the arrangement of the Greek words. The online interlinear Scripture4all, reads of Acts 20:28 in Greek: "ho ekklesia ho theos hos peripoieo...

    The Holy Trinity

    If Jesus is God, and not "a god", then this conflicts with what the apostle Paul wrote, for he told the Ephesian congregation: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:....That the God of our Lord Jesus...

    Parable of the Vineyard Householder

    In the illustration of the man who hired workers for his vineyard at Matthew 20:1-16, Jesus is answering Peter's question of having "left all things and followed you; what actually will there be for us ?" Hence, Jesus gives this illustration to point out the heart attitude of the religious...

    The Bible on Hell (as Tartarus and Gehenna and Hades)

    Tartarus is a prisonlike, abased condition into which God cast disobedient angels in Noah’s day. This word is found but once in the inspired Scriptures, at 2 Peter 2:4. The apostle writes: “God did not hold back from punishing the angels that sinned, but, by throwing them into Tartarus...

    These Signs Follow Them...do they follow us?

    Some think that Mark 16:8, which ends with the words “and they told nobody anything, for they were in fear,” is too abrupt to have been the original ending of this Gospel. However, that need not be concluded in view of Mark’s general style. Also, the fourth-century scholars Jerome and Eusebius...

    The Holy Trinity

    What is the origin of the trinity ? The New Catholic Encyclopedia says: "The impression could arise that the Trinitarian dogma is in the last analysis a late 4th century invention. In a sense, this is true....The formulation ' one God in three Persons' was not solidly established, certainly not...

    The Holy Trinity

    Where in the Bible is it stated as "fact" of "three Persons in One Divine Being...so clearly revealed" ?

    English translations of the Bible

    To be able to understand the Bible, a person needs a Bible that is accurately translated. An inaccurate Bible (in this case in English) is like having a map that is distorted, street names that are not correct and as result, when used in traveling a person finds themselves in a wrong location...

    In Association With Numbers

    One. This number, when used figuratively, conveys the thought of singleness, uniqueness, as well as unity and agreement in purpose and action. “Jehovah our God is one Jehovah,” said Moses. (De 6:4) He alone is Sovereign. He is unique. He does not share his glory with another, as is the case with...
