The Bible does not record where Jesus said: "I am God". However, he said in (NIV) John 10: Jesus claimed to be one with the Father. Jesus' opponents thought that Jesus claimed to be God. Jesus didn't deny the claim. More precisely, Jesus insisted that he was the Son of God. Elsewhere in...

Isaiah predicted the coming of John and the Messiah in (ESV) Isaiah 40: John the Baptizer confirmed it in John 1: John prepared the way for the YHWH-LORD-God. Jesus affirmed both Isaiah and John the Baptizer in Matthew 11: John wasn't just another prophet. He was unique. What did Jesus mean...

Nephilim are mentioned twice in the Bible. The first time was in Genesis 6: Presumably, they were extinguished in Genesis 7: Nephilim reappeared in Numbers 13: Presumably, they made a reappearance the second time as they did the first time when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans...

Not exactly, but they knew Jesus was the Son of God, and they were learning what that meant. Gabriel spoke to Mary in Luke 1: After John baptized Jesus in Matthew 3: The disciples began to learn that Jesus was the special, unique Son of God. What does that mean? John 3: They learned that...

Good point. I deleted the offending statement. Please take another look. Thanks.

Genesis 6: God knew everything and all the consequences before they happened. There was no need for divinity to regret. This was an example of anthropomorphism. Another example in 1 Samuel 15: In terms of anthropomorphism, the LORD regrets. Regarding divine attributes, he does not regret...

I don't know because Sola Scriptura is not a term found in the Bible. I neither believe nor disbelieve Sola Scriptura. I prefer to stick to the wording of the Bible in my thinking. I know the following: Matthew 23: 2 Thessalonians 2: When it comes to doctrine, I prefer sticking to the...
