    Ghosts And Poltergeists Do They Exist ?

    Was this truly Samuel Saul got in touch with especially since in scripture at Psalm 115:17 we read: “The dead themselves do not praise YHWH nor do any going down into silence of death. Is this scripture a lie? It says when a human being dies they can't praise the true God because any human being...

    . . . That Jesus Christ is LORD . . .

    Saying Philippians 2 makes it clear that the Lord Jesus is equal with God is an inaccurate statement. Philippians 2:6 teaches the opposite, It says that although Jesus was in God's form he never snatched at the idea he was equal with God. If someone is going to say something about Philippians...

    "And I Will Profess Unto Them, I Never Knew...Who, Exactly?"

    It can be seen that, Jesus sacrificial death plays a vital part in human salvation, but this is by no means all that is involved in ‘putting faith in the name of Jesus.’ (Acts 10:43) Following his resurrection, Jesus informed his disciples, “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the...

    Omniscient-secured

    Some believe because God is omniscient. He knows everything, even what is going to happen in the future. He knows what each person is going to do with his life, and he already knows the exact moment and manner of each person’s death. So, according to their thinking, when the time comes for an...

    . . . That Jesus Christ is LORD . . .

    Paul wasn't saying Jesus was God, he said that God had exalted Jesus name. So Paul was saying that YHWH God was the person who exalted Jesus name, not that Jesus was YHWH God. God's name YHWH has always been exalted and no person made his name exalted. His name YHWH is exalted because YHWH God...

    1Peter 3:18

    Jesus was resurrected with a spirit body but since humans can't see spiritual beings who have spiritual bodies, Jesus materialized fleshly bodies that looked human so that his apostles and disciples could see and touch him. This explains how Jesus was able to appear in a room without opening a...

    What is God’s purpose for mankind (PART 2)

    How will God’s purpose for mankind yet be realized? Necessarily, by removing the condemnation resting upon mankind because of Adam’s transgression. This God made possible by having his Son come to earth and take man’s place in death. As we read of Jesus: “See, the Lamb of God that takes away the...

    What is God’s purpose for mankind (PART 1)

    There are those that say God's purpose for mankind is the conversion of the world into Christian religions. Their are many people that believe this. They also believe that the earth is merely the temporary home for mankind, that mankind's destiny is in heaven and that someday the planet earth...

    Don't deny the Rapture and be left behind!!!

    I don't see at 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 that Paul is talking about a rapture, he's talking the resurrection. Also at Romans 6:3-5, it says, “Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? . . . For if we have been united with him in a death...

    Scripture Study of The Immortal Soul (Spirit of Man/Woman)

    I never said or taught that there is no resurrection from the dead. The Bible has always taught that the hope for those that have died is the resurrection from the dead, but that means you need to be dead, meaning you're no longer a living person, to be resurrected back into existence as a...

    Scripture Study of The Immortal Soul (Spirit of Man/Woman)

    Some believe the ideas or definitions that most english speaking people have on the word “soul” are not in agreement with the meaning of the Hebrew and Greek words as used by the inspired Bible writers and they have done research and study and seen this fact steadily gain wider acknowledgment...

    Scripture Study of The Immortal Soul (Spirit of Man/Woman)

    Genesis 2:7 doesn't say that God gave man a soul. It says that man is a soul. For anyone to discard the human body teaching that the human body isn't the soul, I'm going to disagree. The ideas that the english speaking people have on the word “soul” are not in agreement with the meaning of the...

    Jesus diety

    Jesus is spoken of in the Scriptures as “a god,” even as “Mighty God.” (John 1:1; Isaiah 9:6) But nowhere is he spoken of as being Almighty, as YHWH God is. (Genesis 17:1) Jesus is said to be “the reflection of [God’s] glory,” but the Father is the Source of that glory. (Hebrew 1:3) Jesus in no...

    God's purpose for us.

    At Genesis 3:15 God utter the first prophecy stating how he was going to undo everything the serpent, who is Satan the Devil has done from the garden of Eden onward. This scripture Genesis 3:15 is about the messianic kingdom which the true God YHWH has made his Son king of and God has also...

    Jesus diety

    When someone isn't keeping Philippians 2:6 in context with Philippians 2:3-5, I'm not going to agree with taking it out of that context just because of how someone chooses to believe. The context of Philippians 2:6 must stay in the context of what Paul was saying to those Philippian congregation...

    Jesus diety

    I have heard many tell me, by word of mouth or by texting it to me that the scripture at Philippians 2:6 states that Jesus is equal to God, or that he is God. I don't think that's the context of Philippians 2:6. In verses 2&3 Paul says, "Do nothing out of contentiousness or out of egotism, but...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    I don't believe any human on earth to be perfect. We all sin everyday. If someone is saying that they are perfect and don't sin, I wouldn't believe it. 1 John 1: 8-10 says We all sin, and those who say they do not sin do not have the truth and are making God out to be a liar. This letter that...

    1Peter 3:18

    I have said that Jesus resurrected a spirit. A spirit has a body but it's a spiritual body. However the spirit body that Jesus was resurrected with isn't in any way a body of flesh. Those bodies of flesh Jesus appeared to his apostles and disciples with were fleshly bodies he materialized, just...
