Yes, I am saying that Jesus is not God, for the Scriptural evidence shows that Jesus is subservient to his Father, God. The apostle Paul wrote, some twenty years after Jesus death: "But I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; in turn the head of a woman is the man; in turn...

The word fornication comes from the Greek word por·nei´a and from which the English word pornography arrives. The Hebrew verb za·nah´ and its related forms convey the idea of harlotry, immoral intercourse, fornication, or prostitution. (Gen 38:24; Ex 34:16; Hosea 1:2; Lev 19:29) Regarding the...

The apostle Paul did not write that "Jesus is the one and only God, the Father" at 1 Corinthians 8:6, but that "to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ."(1 Cor 8:6, King James Bible) Thus, Paul clearly distinguished "one God, the...

Our Creator, Jehovah God, has no need to "cram" his creative work within a small time frame.The apostle Paul wrote to the young man Timothy, calling God "King of Eternity."(1 Tim 1:17) Moses was inspired to write that Jehovah God is "from everlasting to everlasting".(Ps 90:2, King James Bible)...

The holy spirit is not a person, but is God's active (not latent) force. Though the holy spirit is called "the helper" (Greek paraclete [comforter] ) at John 14:26 and is not a person, so is wisdom not a person but spoken of as having "children" (Luke 7:35) and of Jesus as being "filled with...

Jesus condemned the religious leaders for their inability to effectively reason on the Scriptures on more than one occasion. For example, their unwillingness to recognize Jesus as the Messiah despite the evidence that the time period for his arrival had now come, as seen at Daniel 9:24, 25...

Duckybill, You are the one asserting that the word "day" means only 24 hours, so in all fairness, please then explain the length of time involved at Genesis 2:4 when it said: "This is a history of the heavens and the earth in the time of their being created, in the day that Jehovah God made...

The word "firmament" as used by the King James Bible, comes from the Latin firmare (13th century. Via French from Latin firmamentum , from, ultimately, firmus “firm, strong", Microsoft® Encarta® Reference Library 2005), which means to give consistency, to make firm, or solid. Jerome used this...

Duckybill, How long is the "day" at Genesis 2:4, that encompasses all the way back to "the beginning" of creation of the "earth and heaven" ?

Pegg, You meant to say that "translators insert an indefinite article", such as "a", when not preceded by a definite article (when it is anarthrous or "without an article") such as the Greek words "ho" or "ton", both being rendered as "the". At John 1:1, 2, the definite article is placed...

Though Jesus "was existing in God's form....he emptied himself and took a slave's form came to be in the likeness of men" (Phil 2:6, 7), that did not change his knowledge. Jesus lack of knowledge concerning the exact time when the great tribulation would begin and as to when the kingdom was to...

If Jesus 'knows all things', then why did he not know "the day and the hour" when the "great tribulation" would begin ?(Matt 24:36) In addition, if Jesus "knows all things", then why did he not know when the "kingdom" was being restored ?(Acts 1:6, 7) You tried to pry a Scripture out of it's...

John 21:17 does not say that Jesus is God just because Peter said that Jesus ' knows everything', for it must be understood within its context regarding Peter's love for Jesus, for he said to Jesus immediately afterward that "you are aware that I have affection for you", in which you have taken...

In the year 36 C.E., Peter, in speaking to Cornelius, told him: "You know the subject that was talked about throughout the whole of Ju·de´a, starting from Gal´i·lee after the baptism that John preached, namely, Jesus who was from Naz´a·reth, how God anointed him with holy spirit and power, and...

Please show me in the Bible where it says that Jesus "raised himself" from the dead. John 10:17, 18 does not say this, but that he had authority to "receive it (his life) again.....from the Father". Peter said that "this Jesus God resurrected" at Acts 2:32. Seems, you have difficulty grasping...

If the holy spirit is God, then why does it not have a name, for God's name is Jehovah (Ex 6:3; Ps 83:18), the Son as Jesus (Luke 1:31), but not the holy spirit ? Too, why is the word pneu´ma (Greek) at times means "wind" at John 3:8, something invisible but whose effects can be seen and then...

Stephen, in seeing a vision, told the religious leaders: "Look! I behold the heavens opened up and the Son of man standing at God’s right hand."(Acts 7:55, 56) Hence, Stephen saw Jesus, not as God, but at his "right hand".

Hmmm, Jesus is "ETERNAL" according to your assertion. Yet, Jesus himself said that he was "the beginning of the creation by God".(Rev 3:14) The apostle Paul wrote to the Colossians, that Jesus is "the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation."(Col 1:15) Whom should I accept...

Veteran, Please answer these questions: Where are all those righteous ones that have died before Jesus came to the earth ? Why did Job say: "O that in She´ol you would conceal me, that you would keep me secret until your anger turns back, that you would set a time limit for me and remember me...

Before the Noachian Flood, there was a canopy of water that surrounded the earth. The Bible calls it in Hebrew ham·mab·bul´, meaning "heavenly ocean".(Gen 6:17, ftn) Most of the water that is now in the oceans was once above the earth, acting as a warm blanket and keeping the earth almost one...
