    Jesus is God

    It may be because when you say "Jesus is God" you are denying that "Jesus is the Son of God", as the Scriptures teach.

    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    If you call "violence" what you don't approve on God's judgment, you have a very serious problem, because you pretend that you can judge God Himself, putting yourself above Him.

    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    True. God is the one who determines what is just, and that is how He judges. False. Just as God Himself establishes His own justice and judges, He also condemns and executes His own just judgment. Israel was the executor of God's judgments, and could only attack and destroy by God's direct...

    Did Jesus use apologetics?

    Could you specify what you mean by "apologetics"? Biblical truths must be reasoned from the Scriptures themselves. Given that there are so many hundreds of different beliefs on the same subject, only intelligent reasoning about the subject based on what is written can help someone determine...

    24 elders in Heaven

    I agree. The things written in the Bible are addressed to humans, so that we may see what God's purpose is for the inhabitants of the earth, and what things are happening in the heavens that have to do with our future. The Bible speaks of the Kingdom of God, and in Revelation, as well as in...

    24 elders in Heaven

    Agreed on this one, as said before here The crowns mean these "24 elders" were given positions of authority in heaven. The Bible only speaks of humans receiving these positions in heaven; Authority over humanity, represented by positions and a crown like to be a king, is given exclusively to...

    Be born again to be whose child?

    Believers need to understand that being "born again" is not about feeling a certain way emotionally. This issue has much to do with a selection made by Jesus' Father of people He desires to accompany His Son and be part of His symbolic body in heaven. Not all Christians are part of that body...

    DID THE OLD TESTAMENT PROPHETS SPEAK OF THE MYSTERY?

    "Mystery" is a translation of the Greek word μυστήριον [mysterion]. The word "mystery" in English doesn't accurately define what the Greek word implies as used in the Bible, as that word has been surrounded by a halo of mysticism typical of Gnosticism. For example, although it speaks of things...

    IS THE RAPTURE FOUND IN THE OLD TESTAMENT?

    The kingdom of heaven was only preached at the time of Jesus and later, so the hope of living in heaven did not belong to the Israelites before Jesus Christ. All of them will be resurrected to live on earth, while the resurrection to live in heaven belongs to certain chosen Christians, beginning...

    24 elders in Heaven

    The Bible teaches that Jesus was the first to be raised from the dead to live in heaven. In fact, we are told that he was the one who opened the door to that place for human beings, who must die and be resurrected in a different form in order to enter the place where the spirits dwell. This...

    JOHN 3:1 ISRAEL MUST BE BORN AGAIN

    The modern nation of Israel has nothing to do with Jesus Christ.

    WHAT GOSPEL SHALL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD?

    In the Gospels, we often find the expression "the good news of the Kingdom (of God/the heavens)." Some of these passages explain the most important information surrounding this news. Matt. 3:1 In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, 2 saying: “Repent, for the...

    PAUL PREACHED THE GOSPEL OF GRACE IN ACTS

    The book of Acts was written by Luke, not Paul. The book of Acts does not discuss Paul's ministry as a Christian until Acts 9:20, and then from Acts 11:25 when Barnabas seeks him out in Tarsus to accompany him in helping the brethren in Jerusalem (12:25). In fact, Paul's missionary work begins...

    Ultimately, it's not a matter of who is right and who is wrong... (?)

    Of course: Jesus' opinion is superior to any other one. Since he said he spoke what he was told by the Father, and we don't hear literally and directly the word of God, we must listen to Jesus and the Scriptures (the prophets, apostles and other inspired writers). I just don't understand why...

    Ultimately, it's not a matter of who is right and who is wrong... (?)

    This thread is yet another effort to convince individuals that they can hold any belief they desire as long as they act accordingly. That notion is entirely misguided: a falsehood stands in stark contrast to the truth. If you choose to believe and propagate a lie, you are not aligned with the...

    Clarifying what "body" is.

    Perhaps what you understand as "body" is not what I understand it to mean. A body doesn't have to be solid or even visible from a human perspective. A "body", IMHO, is anything that can be distinguished independently from its surroundings because since it has a perimeter that limits its...

    Clarifying what "body" is.

    You can check the Scriptures by yourself. Have you never read that all of God's children are presented before him in assembly, or texts that demonstrate that all of them can literally be counted numerically? If you can't reason your own questions through the answers offered to you, why ask...

    Every question on your mind find the answer in the Bible first.

    I agree that there are questions whose answers are not in the Bible, but why should the answers to all questions be in the Bible? Perhaps by analyzing the answers we do have, we can logically deduce the answers to other questions that are not directly answered, although the deductions would be a...

    Clarifying what "body" is.

    I could mention several texts that prove that angels have individual bodies in a different dimension than ours, but the simple fact that each of them has their own personal name I think is proof enough.

    Clarifying what "body" is.

    There are many texts in the Bible where the Greek word for "body" is used. That's why it's important to understand some details about what the word "body" in the Bible can mean. First, let's clarify that angels, although invisible to our eyes, also have a "body" that distinguishes each of them...
