This springs to mind - "Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God”" (Mat 22:29). ;) If you think that God making a dead body vanish is far fetched, how about: "When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the...

I'm sure we could all think of nicer things than what has happened, but facts are facts, and we can be sure that God's ways are far better than our ways: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways,” says Yahweh. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my...

How does "For there are three who testify: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one" support your claim that 'the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, "these three are one"'? Well all Christians are to become part of the bride of Christ. The term bride is used as an...

I think it's just an ambiguity of the translation. Knowing, like you, that Jesus didn't need purifying, I took it to mean that it was Christ performing the cleansing, not that Christ was being cleansed. Some different translations help to make that clearer. I had quoted the WEB, which said...

The KJV version of 1 John 5:7 is infamous for being a spurious verse, possibly modified by the inclusion of somone's handwritten comment - a copying error from the days before printing presses when all Bibles were hand written. The words "in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and...

I wasn't really correcting you, just providing a bit more information that may be of some help to others who are reading this discussion thread - just a sharing of knowledge. :) I didn't really undersrtand the meaning of circumcision for many years, and there may well be others who would...

The Roman soldiers were experts at killing people! We can be quite sure that he was dead. But even if he wasn't dead after he had been placed in the tomb, it's unconceivable that he could remain there severely injured for three days, without food and water, then in the dark make his way to the...

I think a combination of the WEB and ISV translations of Romans 2:28-29 is a bit better: "For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the...

Well, I'll include the start of the introduction here, so others can make their minds up too. It's obvious to me and I'm sure it will be obvious to others who are familiar with the Bible too. One big clue is the mention of "The Most Holy Trinity", which is unscriptual, as are refering to...

Just reading the beginning of the introduction was enough to tell me that that writing is not in harmony with the Bible. We should not believe someone's claim to have receieved a communication from Jesus in 1944 as a true message from Jesus if it is not in total harmony with the Bible, God's...

A resuscitation is not the same thing as a resurrection. Nobody has come back to life after they have been cremated!

Well quoted. :) However, I think this quote is less relevant, because it is referring to God bringing the Israelites back to Israel in the latter days, and so it applies only to Jews in Israel. A bit of context [WEB]: 17) “Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “I will gather you from...

Satan did lie, he said: "The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t really die," (Gen 3:4 WEB). His motive for getting Eve to disobey God was because he wanted to rule over mankind, so he started by trying to turn Adam and Eve against God. Satan has ever since been fighting against God's plans...

Eh? In your profile you claim to be a Christian, so aren't you a "so called Christian" too? So says the person who in this thread has told the lie that people are reincarnated many times, and other unscriptual lies and nonsense such as "When Adam and Ishah partook of the Forbidden Fruit...

There are a lot of things that can be hard to believe, because we don't have the knowledge to understand how it could be done. But we should believe God, and God's word to us which is the Bible, and trust that He is not lying to us or making things up! Faith is belief in God's word, even if we...

The Greek word that's translated as saints is hagios and means holy or 'holy one'. It's referring to all Christians; all Christians are referred to as saints. The New World Translation translates Romans 1:6,7 as "among which [nations] you also are those called to belong to Jesus Christ - (7)...

No!

There have been more than 144,000 baptised Christians during the last 1990 years. You seem to be implying that only 144,000 of the millions (or billions) of Christians "will also be part of his resurrection" (Rom 6:5), and the majority will be resurrected as humans, but Romans 6:3-5 says that...

Whoops, it looks like I got that wrong!:( It doesn't say that the elders (church) sang the song (because it says "they sing ... before the ... elders"), it's the 144,000 only that sings the song, while the elders (church) played the music.

All Christians make a covenant of sacrifice (Psalms 50:5 - “Gather my saints together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice”; Romans 12:1 - "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God...
