That's for you to decide, by doing your own Bible study. In Acts 17 (MKJV): 10) And the brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. They, when they arrived, went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11) And these were more noble than those of Thessalonica, in that they...

No, I can't see how I have misinterpreted it. The Scriptures are meant for everyone, and certainly all Christians, not just some elite group who want to tell others what they should and shouldn't believe.

I would say that Jesus is good, but Jesus is humble and therefore would not claim to be good. Jesus said, "Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls" (Matthew 11:29). Matthew 19:17 (WEB): He said to him, “Why do you...

So are you now arguing that Jesus is not a divine person (and therefore is not God)? You really must be confused! God anointed and appointed His son Jesus to be the saviour of mankind. That is why there is no other name than Jesus (Yeshua) by which we can be saved. God's appointed person for...

An alternative conclusion is that when most biblical scholars wrote concerning Matthew 28:19 they did not have access to the information about the Hebrew translation of Matthew (which was only translated into English in 1987), and the sources of quotes of Matthew 28:19 in early writings. Paul's...

We can only be come confident that our interpretation of the Scriptures is correct if our interpretation is in harmony with the Scriptures. So if we find a verse or verses which don't seem to fit with our understanding then we should question if our interpretation was correct or not. If we...

Hmm. What you said in post #270 was: I don't see any mention of you referring to catholicism there. :confused:

See my reply in post #58. In that I wrote: I don't think it still exists (that I know of) but in 1380 a Spanish Jewish Rabbi called Shem-Tob ben Isaac Shaprut published a work called Eben Boḥan (The Touchstone) in which he included the complete Gospel. As I mentioned in my first post, in 1987...

Well if the New World Translation is "an uncorrupted translation" as you claim, then perhaps we should all be using the NWT?! ;)

The context of 1 John 3 (WEB): 1) See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him. 2) Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet revealed what we will be. But we know...

1 Corinthians 3:16) Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God’s Spirit lives in you? 2 Corinthians 6:16) What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God...

Why have you cluttered up this thread with all that non-Biblical nonsense about an imaginary Trinity? It adds nothing to the discussion about Matthew 28:19 being a corrupted verse, corrupted by someone who believed in the Trinity and was trying to add something to the Scriptures to support his...

Matthew 16:18 says: I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. There is absolutely nothing in that verse to hint at a Trinity. It is Jesus saying that on this foundation, what Peter had just said, he will...

Thank you for your informative, helpful, Bible based contributions to our understanding (not!). :rolleyes:

Well Peter tells us (2 Peter 1:4, WEB): by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust. and likewise John confirms it in 1 John 3:2...

You seem to be saying that the God of Abraham was a different god to the God of Isaac, and there was a third different God of Jacob. Your're right - that doesn't make any sense! Surely your equation should be: Elohim Abraham = Elohim Issac = Elohim Jacob = Echad Elohim = Yahweh There's no...

John 1:1 mentions God and the Word, and that the Word was with God, so obviously (otherwise it makes no sense) the Word was not God! Either way, just two entities are mentioned, so you can't make a Trinity out of that. Exodus 3:15 (WEB) says: God said moreover to Moses, “You shall tell the...

Wikipedia says that the Didache was anonymous, and "may have been compiled in its present form as late as 150, although a date closer to the end of the first century seems more probable to many", so it was not written by the Apostles. "The work was considered by some Church Fathers to be a part...

Jesus said, "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth" (John 17:17).

Yes, theology certainly has changed over the years, just as the Apostle Paul foretold would happen (2 Thessalonians 2:3, KJV): ... that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, ... The doctrine of the trinity was a big falling away from the truth (apostasy)! Christians were...
