Why are you quoting a verse which states what the Samarians thought about a man called Simon who practiced magic arts, "And they gave heed to him, because that for a long time he had astonished them by his magic arts" (verse 11)? This was the man who offered Peter and John money if they would...

It's not a woman who crushes Satan's head, it is the seed (offspring - Jesus) who will do that - Genesis 3:15 (Darby): (15) And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he shall crush thy head, and thou shalt crush his heel.

Indeed! Jesus said to the thief that day, that the thief would be in paradise and that Jesus would be with him there (similarly he is with all of us today). Jesus was not in paradise that day - he was in the grave for three days. The future home of the non-Christian is not the same future...

And from Ephesians 2 we see that the Church is a separate new creation, created from a combination of Jews and gentiles: (13) But now in Christ Jesus you [gentiles] who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ. (14) For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the...

There is no evidence to suggest that he was a follower of Jesus. Certainly the other thief wasn't because he said, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!” (Luke 23:39). The man to whom Jesus spoke was a thief who admitted to his crimes, which doesn't sound like a Christian to me...

God had His name plainly written nearly 7,000 times in the Old Testament Scriptures. It was the Israelites who first removed, or hid, virtually all of those occurrences, and our English translations mostly follow their tradition. But the Scriptures given by God don't hide His name. The...

The "woman" referred to in Isaiah 54 is clearly symbolically referring to the nation of Israel, not a literal woman. Verse 7 and the last verse say: (7) “For a small moment I have forsaken you; but I will gather you with great mercies. (Referring to the regathering of the scattered...

You have not explained it! You merely stated your interpretation. That doen't make it the truth, neither does it persuade me to believe you! You've not explained how you connect up the 144,000 Jews to be "sons". The 144,000 Jews, referred to as servants and not sons (Revelation 7:3), are...

God's name is still in the New Testament. In Revelation 19 the word hallelujah appears four times (verses 1, 3, 4 and 6). It's an untranslated Hebrew word, combining the Hebrew words halal, meaning praise, and Yah or Jah, which is a contracted, or abreviated, form of God's personal name. The...

No it's not a bad place. But it's not where Christians go to live after they have been changed to be new creations, having the divine nature. The thief on the cross beside Jesus was not a Christian. The "paradise of God" is not the paradise on the earth where non-Christians, such as the thief...

That's a shame! It's much better to be with Jesus and God in heaven. John 14:2-3 (WEB): (2) In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. (3) If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to...

Even if sin was in the blood (the Bible says that "the life of the flesh is in the blood", Leviticus 17:11) it would not matter, beause the blood of the mother and the blood of the fetus do not come into contact or mix (and the mother and fetus can have different blood groups).

Normal blood has a total of 46 chromosomes. When a child is conceived, 23 chromosomes come from the mother and 23 come from the father. One of these pairs determines the gender. For this pair, the mother always provides an “X” chromosome (so called because its shape somewhat resembles the...

Israel and Satan do not crush Christ's head, and Christ is not full of pride - it was Satan' pride that led to him becoming God's adversary! You've got it backwards - I'll assume it was a careless mistake on your part. Mary does not bring us salvation. Jesus did that. As I've pointed out...

In what way was she first, and where in the Bible does it say that? She certainly wasn't the first saint in the history of mankind, e.g. Psalm 106:16 (WEB): (16) They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, Yahweh’s saint.

Isaiah 54 is obviously not referring to Eve! It is symbolically referring to Zion/Israel, to whom God says, verse 5, "For your Maker is your husband; Yahweh of Armies is his name. The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer. He will be called the God of the whole earth". But even so, all Bible...

Nor does "blessed art thou among women". The Cambridge Bible Notes says of this phrase, "These words are of dubious authenticity, being omitted by B and various versions. They may have been added from Luke 1:42".

The woman referred to in Genesis 3:15 is Eve. It's not a symbolic woman, and it definitely is not referring to God's loyal angels! The next verse also refers to "the woman": (16) To the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bear children. Your...

You're mixing me up with theefaith again! I am not a RC and I don't have RCC beliefs.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough? I wrote "Jesus taught that we should ask God for forgiveness, not to ask Jesus", by which I meant that Jesus taught that we should pray to God, and to ask God for forgiveness for our sins, and that Jesus did not teach us to pray to anybody else but God. I didn't...
