Yes, the Jews did begin a custom of supplanting God's name for "Lord" around the 2nd century C.E. However, this was a tradition started by the Jews and was not God's idea, for wants his name made known, even as Jesus taught his disciples to pray for that name to be sanctified.(Matt 6:9) Would...

Please understand that this was not a "rude attempt" at hijacking this thread, but rather to show to whom we must exercise faith in, not some nameless God, as the churches have taught, but instead to show who the one true God is that Jesus explained.(John 1:18) Hanani the seer told king Asa...

When greeting a person for the first time, what is the first thing that is learned ? Their name. Likewise of our Creator. We should learn and be unashamed to use his name - Jehovah. The name of God is in the Bible more times than the combined titles "god" and "lord" combined.(the use of "god"...

The world is filled with those who are academically smart or "wise", perhaps having went to a prestigious college or university, but is spiritually illiterate, despite that some are considered Bible scholars. The apostle Paul wrote "that not many wise in a fleshly way were called, not many...

Jesus spoke the language of the area of Israel during the 1st century, Koine or common Greek, along with perhaps a Galilean dialect of Aramaic.(Matt 27:46) Alexander the Great conquered Medo-Persian Empire in 331 B.C.E., and thus Greece became the 5th world power of Bible history (Dan 7:6)...

It is true that the word "babe" (Greek nepios) has different meanings in the Bible, such as a small child (Matt 21:16) or of those who are not spiritually mature.(1 Cor 3:1; Heb 5:13) There is also other expressions in the Bible, such as the Greek bre´phos that refers to an “infant.” (Luke...

The original writings of the Bible, both the Hebrew Scriptures (commonly called the Old Testament) and Christian Greek Scriptures (commonly called the New Testament) were free of error. However, not long after the death of the last apostle John, apostasy began in earnest, with unauthorized...

Jesus said that it is "babes" that would understand the Bible, including the book of Revelation. He said in prayer to his Father: "I publicly praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intellectual ones and have revealed them to...

Revelation 1:10 provides the period of time that the prophetic events occur that are found in the book of Revelation. The apostle John says that "by inspiration I came to be in the Lord's day." The apostle Paul gave insight into the "Lord's day" by expressing to the Corinthian congregation that...

For the Satan the Devil to remain existing down till our time would require that he be a spirit "son of God" or angel, for no human has lived longer than 969 years.(Gen 5:27) And before God created the first man Adam, when the foundation was laid for the earth, Jehovah God told Job: "Where did...

I have already provided suffcient evidence of Satan's existence. At Revelation 12:9, it says following his defeat by Michael, that "down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the...

The year 1914 can be discerned by evidence in the Bible. As an example of a date that is not specifically in the Bible, is the year in which Jesus became the Messiah or Christ. At Daniel 9:24, 25, it pinpoints the date of his arrival as the Christ, for it says that "there are seventy weeks that...

You act if you are master and others are the pupils. You discount any valid evidence from the Bible and just say that a person is just plain wrong and you are right, without any solid evidence. This is no different than the religious leaders that opposed Jesus, who condemned him at almost every...

Worship means the rendering of reverent honor or homage. True worship of the Creator embraces every aspect of a person's life. The apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians: “Whether you are eating or drinking or doing anything else, do all things for God’s glory.”(1Cor 10:31) When our Maker...

That Satan (meaning resistor) is real and an unseen spirit is seen in several Biblical accounts. In many places in the Hebrew Scriptures, commonly called the Old Testament, the word sa·tan´ appears without the definite article. Used in this way, it applies in its first appearance to the angel...

Revelation 5:6 does not say that Jesus is to be prayed to, for Jesus had already fully established prayer to his Father as the only way.(John 14:6) Rather, there was concern in finding one who was worthy of opening the "scroll written within and on the reverse the side, sealed tight with seven...

On the night before his death, Jesus told his eleven faithful apostles: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."(John 14:6) Over three years earlier, Jesus said: "You must pray, then, this way:Our Father in the heavens, let your name be...

Those that carefully read Jesus words at Matthew 24:4-14, hopefully can discern that the "pangs of distress" (Matt 24:8) are now common and increasing. Even true Christians are not immune from the problems that are plaguing mankind, such as "food shortages"(Matt 24:7), that at times, results in...

If a person is not kidnapped, is there a need for a ransom to be paid ? If no one is taken captive, is there anyone to exchange for money ? Hence, had Adam not rebelled in the Garden of Eden, then it would not have been necessary for a "corresponding ransom" to be given.(1 Tim 2:5, 6) Only...

First off, it needs to clarified that Lucifer is not Satan the Devil, as some presume from reading Isaiah 14:12. The context shows that the one whom the King James Bible renders as "Lucifer" (Lucifer", Latin, meaning literally "light bearer", and which originated with Jerome's Latin Vulgate...
