Jesus was still living, and fulfilling, the mosaic law during the time when he was alive. The Messiah was prophesied to fulfill the law in its entirety therefore he lived by means of the law at that time. However, after his death, the mosaic law became void for God had dismantled it and made...

the rapture is not a biblical teaching at all. It wont happen the way its been explained by those who teach it. The teaching of the “rapture” doesn't appear in the Bible. But those who believe in it cite the apostle Paul’s words at 1 Thessalonians 4:17 as the basis for their belief: VS 17...

Hi Selene, Isaiah doesnt say that these are the Messiah's 'names' He says '...and he will be CALLED wonderful counselor, mighty god, eternal father...." If you consider that he is also called the 'Messiah' and that title actually became a part of his name 'Jesus Christ' ... but Messiah is a...

I see what you're saying, however this isnt really the definition of YHWH....we could define God in many ways as a Father, King, Ruler, Universal Sovereign or as a God of Eternity for example The tetragrammaton is actually a verb ha‧wah′ and hebrew scholars say it means 'become' which makes...

there are still some aspects of prophecy which are yet to be fulfilled. These have to do with the kings of the north and south of Daniels prophecy. We know who the king of the south is but we are yet to see the identity of the king of the North. When these two kings come head to head, then...

this is what confuses me greatly. You say he claimed to be 'the son' but the Jews say he was claiming to be God...and Jesus said he was the 'Son' So who is correct. How could the jews have been correct in saying Jesus claimed to be God, when he clearly stated that he was 'the Son'? There is...

you said "Someday you will face Him, tell Him then to, OK! " If we face Jesus and tell him that we dont believe he is God, what will the outcome be?

Hi Selene, Unfortunately not all scholars of greek agree with that. this is why it has been translated differently in some translations. The problem here is that the jews misunderstood what jesus meant when he said he was Gods Son. They believed that he was claiming to have a prehuman...

I would ask why Jesus apostles and others recognized him as the messiah while others did not? What was different about those who believed in Jesus and put faith in him and those who did not? The holy spirit is something which works in different ways at different times. Faith is said to be a...

this is one of those questions that we simply cannot comprehend because everything in our world has a beginning so we automatically ask 'but who created God' the bible writers expressed God as being 'endless' and existing for all eternity from times everlasting to times everlasting. He did...

Does this mean that you believe that when we do come face to face with Jesus, it is he who will judge us?

The purpose of James letter is completely different to Pauls writings to the phillipians. There were some serious problems in the congregations that james wrote to. Its evident from his letter that some christians were not practicing christianity but were ignoring even the simplest aspects...

the Romans had their own methods of execution, but so did the jews. We know the romans were in control of jerusalem, and those whom they were executing were Jews, not romans. Because the Romans had a difficult relationship with the Jews, they would do things as best they could according to...

Absolutely, he requires that we walk in the footsteps of his Son Jesus Christ. those footsteps entail all that Jesus taught, the way he lived his life, the attitudes that he displayed and his submission to God.

Hi Richard, This is the same argument that many use to show how the two differ in teaching. But in fact, they are speaking about different 'works'. Paul is speaking about 'works of the mosaic law' and James is speaking about the 'good works' that we individually are motivated to do by our...

Cornelius wasn't taught by Paul...he was taught by the Apostle Peter. So I would have to say that if you believe Paul and Peter were teaching different gospels, you would be mistaken. There is no difference between the teachings of Paul and Peter. I understand what you are saying here...

I agree that it is referring to a predesignation of sorts....just not the sort you have in mind. Here the apostle Paul is speaking to those he calls the 'chosen' ones. He mentions that they have been chosen from 'before the founding of the world' so I can see how some may come to the...

christianity isnt only about what God has done for mankind....its also about what God requires of mankind Religion has always been a two way street. The worshipers must adhere to their God's/god's requirements and in return their God/god would be their protector and provider. Christianity is...

its not so much a matter of 'interpretation' but its more a matter of 'translation' There are numerous translations that show a different story. Notice their use of a full stop thus separating the two distinct subjects being spoken about. The Riverside New Testament, Boston and New York...

there is a really simple answer to this question and its found in the conversation that Jesus had with the Samaritan woman at the well. He indicated that the days of the 'formal worship' of God were coming to an end and the only way to worship God would be with spirit and truth. John 4:14...
