    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    (Isa 60:16) ... Then you will know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. Jesus is not Yahweh; Yahweh sent Jesus to be our redeemer and saviour: 1 John 4: 9) By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we...

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    God was the saviour of the Israelites when he sent Moses to deliver them from Egypt: (Isaiah 19:20) It will be for a sign and for a witness to Yahweh of Armies in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to Yahweh because of oppressors, and he will send them a savior and a defender, and he will...

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    Which Michael are you talking about? There are men called Michael mentioned in the Bible, and there is an angel, or archangel (Jude 1:9), mentioned by Daniel, who he says was "one of the chief princes" and "your prince", i.e. the “the great prince who stands for the" Israelites (Daniel 12:1)...

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    The expression "God the Son" does not exist in the Bible, nor "God the Holy Spirit". Only the expression "God the father", which is used by Paul, John, Peter and Jude. I believe in the only begotten Son of God: (Mark 1:1) The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; (2 Peter...

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    That's just slander. I do speak, and type, the name of Jesus, and in the above reply I stated that Jesus was my saviour - he's the saviour of all mankind. Yeshua was Jesus' real name; Jesus is a transliteration into English of his name translated into Greek. Nobody in the first century AD...

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    Yeshua is the saviour of all mankind. He became our saviour in obedience to the will of his father, almighty God Yahweh.

    What's that got to do with John 3:13?

    The First Resurrection

    You've ignored what I said, again. 1 Peter 1:19 says, "but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, the blood of Christ". Peter was comparing the blood of Jesus with the blood of a sacrificed lamb for the temple sacrifices, and/or for the passover lamb when God brought the...

    The First Resurrection

    1 Corinthians 15:50 (WEB): Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable. Flesh and blood cannot exist in heaven, for heaven exists in dimensions which physical beings don't have access to. This is why spriit beings...

    The First Resurrection

    18) knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers, 19) but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, the blood of Christ; (ASV) 23) having been begotten again, not of corruptible...

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    The Cambridge Bible notes for John 3:13 says: which is in heaven] These words are omitted in the best MSS. If they are retained, the meaning is ‘Whose proper home is heaven.’ Or the Greek participle may be the imperfect tense (comp. Joh_6:62, Joh_9:25, Joh_17:5), which was in heaven before the...

    The First Resurrection

    Where's the Scriptual evidence to back up your claim? I can't find any references to being filled with blood or of having Jesus' blood flowing through us. The only passage I'm aware of which talks of drinking Jesus' blood is John 6, when Jesus said we should eat his flesh too: 47) Most...

    The First Resurrection

    Hebrews 9:22 (ESV): Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. So to be washed in the blood of the Lamb means that their sins have been forgiven and they have been cleansed and purified. It does not imply...

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    Job 1:4 (WEB): His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his birthday; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. The NIV also translates it as birthday. However, they're the only two translations that I could find that translate it that...

    The First Resurrection

    Here are some clues from the Old Testament that the church does not go through the Great Tribulation, i.e. the rapture is pre-tribulation. Isaiah 26: 19) Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of...

    The First Resurrection

    Well, in Revelation 5:6 Jesus is described differently - "I saw in the middle of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all...

    The First Resurrection

    Before this verse, note the beginning of the chapter: 1) I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads. 2) I heard a sound from heaven, like the sound of many...

    The First Resurrection

    They are not "human spirit beings", they are human beings who are resurrected as spirit beings, similar to the angels. Just because John describes them in his vision as people in heaven that doesn't mean that they will be in human form in heaven. The vision was just a way of helping John and...

    The First Resurrection

    However, Paul taught in 2 Timothy 2 (Darby): 1) Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him [first resurrection and rapture], we ask you 2) not to be quickly shaken in your mind, and not be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by...

    The First Resurrection

    Don't get hung up on the number of elders and thrones - it's symbolic (David organised the priests into 24 courses in 1 Chronicles 24). There will be more then 24 people in the body of Christ! John didn't undergo any changes or time travel - he was seeing visions (or dreams). Chapter 4 starts...
