The earth is perhaps many billions of years old. Genesis 1:1 says: "In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Thus, the earth was created at the same time as for the rest of the universe, "in the beginning". However, only some 6000 years ago was the earth now completed for the...

At 2 Corinthians 5:1, the apostle Paul said literally that "we are having" (Greek ekhomen, present tense) "a building from God" and is accurately rendered as "if....this tent should be dissolved, we are to have a building from God, a house not made with hands, everlasting in heaven." Hence, Paul...

Many feel that the holy spirit is a real person who lives inside Christ's disciples. Or divine science, a law of God in action. Others believe that it is the third person of the Trinity. Yet others accept as true that it is God's presence at work in the world. Hence, why such confusion ? It...

When God told Adam, "as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die"("positively die", Hebrew, mohth ta·muth´; Gen 2:17), did Adam really die or is he alive somewhere ? When God told Adam that he will "positively...

God did indeed create us as flesh, for Genesis 2:7 says: "And Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul." However, what is it that empowers us to live and when taken away, causes us to...

In saying that only "Christ's flesh" died, you have yielded to the false belief that something exists apart from the body, such as the soul being immortal, which was taught by Greek philosopher Plato and later absorbed into so-called "Christianity". You have discarded what Isaiah prophetically...

I am not trying to speak as you say "arrogantly", but rather to direct everyone toward the one channel that God is using to explain his word the Bible. It is not ' my way' but rather the way that God is using. Jesus, in speaking to the Jews, told them that "if you remain in my word, you are...

That Jesus Christ died is irrevocable. What you are saying is that the apostle Paul is a liar, that he nor the apostle Matthew nor the physician Luke told the truth, though inspired of God. Jesus had to die as a human, giving his life in order to redeem those who "exercise faith" in him.(John...

What irrationalization ! What distorted reasoning ! How can you call yourself a "Christian" and yet say that Jesus did not die. Had Jesus not died, then as Paul said, those that are Christians, "are of all men most to be pitied."(1 Cor 15:19), for the ransom would have not been provided, and if...

God does not speak in generalities, but is specfic. An examination of his creative handiwork reveals, not generalization, but preciseness in everything. For example, consider the earth's distance and speed from the sun. If the distance from the sun were decreased by 5 percent, scorching heat...

What your saying is that there is nobody whom God uses to interpret his word the Bible, that God is incapable of having an arrangement whereby his word can be unlocked with only one right interpretation, that the "truth" cannot be found. How many different keys will unlock your vehicle ? How...

Plain and simple, there is no burning hell, that some are saying that God created. And here's why. The apostle John wrote: "He that does not love has not come to know God, because God is love."(1 John 4:8) He then says: "By this the love of God was made manifest in our case, because God sent...

God wants individuals to use their brain, to use it to reason with, not just randomly accept the religious teachings of the churches as de facto. The apostle Paul wrote: "Consequently I entreat you by the compassions of God, brothers, to present your bodies a sacrifice living, holy, acceptable...

Contrary to popular opinion, the Bible cannot have a variety of interpretations. Just as a combination lock cannot have more than one specific combination of numbers in a preassigned order that will unlock it, so likewise the Bible. The apostle Paul wrote that "God is a God, not of disorder but...

Then that would put the student Thomas above the "master" Jesus, of which he is not.(Matt 10:24; Luke 6:40), placing Thomas words as having more authority than Jesus own words, such as Jesus saying that he is "the beginning of the creation by God".(Rev 3:14) Concerning the plurality of "god"...

Does Thomas words have more authority than Jesus words to Mary: "I am ascending to my God and your God" ?(John 20:17) Apparently in your mind, Thomas is higher in influence and power than Jesus, whom you supposedly call your "Lord". So why not call Thomas "My Lord" since, according to you, has...

Isaiah 44:6 identifies that there is only one true God, in which God himself says: "This is what Jehovah has said, the King of Israel and the Repurchaser of him, Jehovah of armies, ‘I am the first and I am the last, and besides me there is no God." Jesus fully agreed with this, saying in prayer...

Jesus said: "Every kingdom divided against itself comes to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand."(Matt 12:25) This principle is well established, for anything that exhibits disharmony eventually falls apart. How well this speaks of the churches, that of...

Many have been abandoned or forsaken because of lack of love (Matt 24:12), such as a parent abandoning a family simple to get away from their rightful responsibility, either as head or as the "complement".("complement", Hebrew 'ezer, Gen 2:20) In these "last days", more and more are failing to...

With all due respect, please explain why not pronouncing God's name is disrespectful, since God told Moses concerning the Israelites exodus from Egypt: "This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel, ‘Jehovah the God of your forefathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of...
