That's not explaining John 1:1, it's just quoting it and changing the word 'Word' to 'Jesus'. A similar sentence, logically, is, "Last week Mary was with Jim and Mary was Jim". It doesn't make sense! That's why we need to pay more attention to the original Greek text, and to try and...

I'm aware of Galatians 4:14, "That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn’t despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus". But that could mean that he was received as if he was an angel, or as if he was Jesus, and not necessarily mean that he was...

Who is Jehovah Jesus? There is no such name mentioned in the Bible - you're making it up! (Eph 4:5) One Lord, one faith, one baptism, (Eph 4:6) One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. God (Yahweh) is God of all and father of all. Jesus said in John...

Read those verses you referenced again: (Rev 19:10) And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. (Rev 22:8) And...

Hebrews 1 only makes sense if Jesus is God's only begotten son. Hebrews 1 (WEB): 1) God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, Were the prophets God? No. 2) has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed...

The Apostle Paul wrote: "yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him" (1 Corinthians 8:6, WEB) Also: Jesus said to her, “Don’t hold me, for I haven’t yet ascended to my Father...

Err, Acts 14:12 says, "They called Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, because he was the chief speaker." Perhaps you meant Acts 14:22? ;)

See my explanation of who the 144,000 will be in How Could Have Satan Sinned?.

I think most people would agree that Billy Graham was a Christian, and through his crusades, he preached the gospel to more people in person than anyone in the history of Christianity (see Billy Graham - Wikipedia). And yet he was not a charismatic. When asked about the gift of speaking in...

1Corinthians 12:29-30 (KJV): 29) Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 30) Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? Or as the TLV translates it: 29) All are not emissaries, are they? All are not prophets, are...

Concerning Satan: Ezekiel 28:16 (KJV): ... I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. "Destroy" is a translation of the Hebrew word abad, which occurs 184 times in the Old Testament, translated as perish 98 times, destroy 62 times. Ezekiel 28:18 (KJV): ...

Those very symbolic verses that I quoted are part of the Scriptures! I do believe the Scriptures, and I desire to understand them as best as I can. I do stick to the Scriptures rather than believing erroneous ideas invented during the Dark Ages. Why don't you believe the Scriptures?! I've...

The Old and New Testaments have the same author - God. Therefore they are in agreement and in harmony. If we think that they are not in harmony then it is not because God made a mistake, it is because our interpretation must be incorrect. Only when our interpretation is in harmony with both...

The previous verse says: (Rev 20:9) They went up over the width of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints, and the beloved city. Fire came down out of heaven from God and devoured them. So all of the people that side wilth Satan are devoured, consumed, or destroyed by fire coming...

As Chuck Missler often said, "The New Testament is in the Old Testament concealed; the Old Testament is in the New Testament revealed". The author of both is God: (2 Timothy 3:16) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for...

What is your point? Ezekiel 28:13 says he was in Eden, so it had to be Satan. (Eze 28:15) You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you. How many Cherubim have become unrighteous apart from Satan? I'm sorry, but I don't understand...

There are many verses that teach us that the penalty for sin is death, not an eternal life of suffering. Death is compared to a sleep, an unconscious state, and we will awake when we are resurrected - sleeping is not suffering! If you have read my responses in this thread then you will have...

In John 3:16 Jesus says that God "gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life". Paul confirms it in Romans 8:3 (WEB): For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness...

In Ezekiel 28:19 God says "you will exist no more". Are you calling God a liar? I'm using the Old Testament to help you understand the New Testament. It is all God's word! The punishment for sin is death. Jesus is consistent in using the same symbolic language for the second death. If it's...

You're mixing up Gehenna and Hades again, and taking the parable literally.
