    Free will, the root of misunderstanding

    Welcome Carlos, You are so right. That is the way God draws those that are hungry to him.

    Last Day

    Hay Dan, Jesus also told his disciples that some of them would still be alive when he returned. I suppose somewhere there are at least a couple still living. I know what you have been taught, same with me. But, all. things happened in the disciples generation. As stated above, Jesus told the...

    Last Day

    Trump, You are right, there are many interpretations that man give to scripture. One will need to check those intepretations out to see if they be true or not. For example: Jesus is speaking to the scribes and Pharisees: Mat 23:34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men...

    Last Day

    Trump, I am a Christian who believes Jesus does not lie. He told the disciples he would return in their generation. He told the scribes and Pharisees that judgment would come upon their generation. He said he had come to fulfill all that had been written about him. (That would be all...

    Last Day

    Trump, Nah 2:3 Speaks of the Roman army with their shields and red uniforms and they used catapults to toss flaming balls. Nah 2:4 Describes Roman army using chariots. I recommend the reading of the books of Josephus "The Wars of the Jews"

    Last Day

    Hi afaithfulone4u, Can't find anything pertaining to automobiles and airplanes, but by the time Jesus returned, the knowledge of God had been spread into all the known world, Roman Empire.

    Jesus and His teachings after the resurrection

    The Epistles contain the knowledge that Jesus imparted to them. We just need to study what was written.

    Last Day

    Prophecy given in the Old Testament was to the Jews. Jesus came to fulfill all that had been written of him, including him coming in judgment. The Christians that lived during the disciples generation would also be aware of that day. It happened in 70 AD when the temple and Jerusalem were...

    6 days of creation

    All things have been created by God. But, because the entire bible is about God's chosen people, Genesis is probably about the creation of the covenant between God and Adam more that about the natural. I know this will not fit with most Christians. It is just a thought.

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    Those that are willing to obey God will be baptized as the scripture says. In the water and Spirit. Act 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Act 8:13 Then Simon himself...

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    Hi In Christ, As stated before, you take one scripture and determine it means just one thing. In truth there are two baptisms, in water and in Spirit. Nicodemus was not a disciple who Jesus had been teaching about the kingdom, so he was just one of many who did not understand. The proper...

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    Alan, In order for us to go to heaven we must be born again of the water and the Spirit. That is because we need to have eternal life in us before we can. Eternal life is the 'gift' of the Holy Ghost. We only receive the gift when we are baptized in water. Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them...

    How to read the Bible?

    1. Old Testament is the stories about how God raised up a people to be called his own. Read these books to understand more about God's love, his promises, how he deals with people and the way people respond to him. 2. In the New Testament the four Gospels is about Jesus coming to his chosen...

    What Is the Unpardonable Sin? - Article

    To look a little farther, the unpardonable sin can only be committed by one who has been born again. The reason is that at the time we are born again we receive the 'gift' of the Holy Ghost, that being eternal life. If we willfully sin and deny this gift and the Holy Ghost, the bible says there...

    Scripture interpretation ?

    Hi veteran, Cornelius and his band had received the Holy Ghost (born of the Spirit) before Peter arrived. Now, as you know, Peter has the keys on how to get into heaven and so what did Peter tell Cornelius? Act 10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came...

    Are we reading the same Bible?

    Hi In Christ, You know of course that you say the scripture of plural Gods is in the Old Testament and the Jews did not interpret it to mean multiple Gods. You take something that can't be backed by scripture and state it as a fact. Yet there is scripture after scripture that God says there is...

    Is Bible prophecy designed as a parable?

    Jews could read about the fact that their Messiah would come, but did not understand Jesus was that Messiah. The Christian can read about Jesus and the fact that he would return in judgment in their generation, but can not believe that he did. In both cases, study was and is required. Truth...

    Pay Your Tithe OR Spend Eternity In Hell?

    A tithe is not biblical for those living in this age. That being said we should realize that the Pastor of the church should have enough biblical knowledge not to ask you to tithe. You will not find that Pastor in a denominational church. They have become a business and as such they are the ones...

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    Alan, Praise God for the infilling of the Holy Ghost, but remember Jesus said the Comforter would lead us in all truth. Let us take another look at scripture. Jesus says one can not enter into the kingdom unless they have been born of the water and Spirit. Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I...

    Millions of years ago ?

    veteran, I agree to a certain extent with you about creation. What we know about the bible is: Except for Genesis and Revelation, everyone agrees that it is about God and his chosen. If that is the case, why doesn't Genesis do the same. I believe it does because according to the Jewish...
