Sort of true, but going back through the lineage of Jesus you find Ruth, a woman of Moab. Does that mean that Jesus wasn't a legitimate Jew?

I see Jesus in the gospels, submitting to His father's will, but where do you see Him make Himself inferior? Perhaps I'm just misunderstanding the use of the words. My inclinations with respect to belief are all based upon scripture along with whatever I've come to understand of the nature of...

Hello Retrobyter, While I've found the concept of the godhead to be difficult to grasp in my youth, I have no such problems now. I don't know if Roman Catholicism is "guilty" of making Jesus to be more than He is, since His own claim was that the Law and the Prophets gave testimony of Him. Yes...

Not really worth the time of a response, but God values your eternal soul. You've just called Christ a liar (or the authors of the New testament scriptures). What business do you have on a Christian debate forum? Even such blasphemy is forgivable and may be covered by the blood of Jesus, but you...

Of course America isn't a theocracy, but does that make the nation less accountable to God? God judges nations as well as individuals. As a matter of fact, the days of judgment described in scripture, both Old testament and New, are generally about the judgment of nations and not that of...

While it was only a matter of time before "nothead" resorted to base personal attacks and a subsequent electronic banishment (for lack of any sound argument), I'm thankful to him for giving us the opportunity to let the truth of God's word shine out and overpower the vain attempts of his...

Thanks again. I don't believe that I'm worthy of anything but condemnation, but I've placed my trust in our Lord and in His grace. That's enough for me. No hoops to jump through, no stairs to climb, just the blood of Jesus and the promises of His word. Worship service was awesome this last...

I've never been innocent, far from it. What I am is forgiven, redeemed by the blood of my Savior, and born again of His Spirit. The error of Roman Catholicism is obvious to all that have left it in favor of biblical churches, but that doesn't make it the epicenter of anything. I think the whore...

Thanks for your supportive comments Floyd, My attempts in my last post were only intended to make an appeal to the carnal minds of these unregenerate souls. I thought that perhaps if they had any intellect at all they could be moved to examine their false doctrines and the source of them...

This would be true of human beings, but not of an immortal, self existent, eternal invisible God, who has made Himself known through His Son and by His Spirit, all of whom are One God (Echad or a unity of being.) This is much simpler when you stop trying to bring God down to our level of...

Under the covenant of Moses and in the context of the commonwealth of Israel, such unholy behavior was declared by God to be worthy of death. I myself would have been stoned to death at a relatively early age under those same covenants and for my transgressions, but God called me to repentance...

The word Elohim is Hebrew, not Aramaic or Greek, so Thomas would be unlikely to have used that word in an exclamation, nevertheless Elohim is a plural form of a common word for God, not a name, but a noun just the same. Since Jesus is the same God who manifested under the covenant name Yahavah...

I don't know what scripture you're reading, but Jesus is declared Lord and God in the Holy Bible and in more than one place: I've already listed a few in the course of this thread. And while I didn't pray specifically for you this morning, we did pray for such as you in men's prayer. If you are...

I'm not terribly impressed with the reasoning ability of the JWs that I've met either or with their diligence in scholarship, however, strong delusion is just what it is described as; it's not inescapable, but represents very strong bondage of both the mind and the will. Only Jesus can set such...

While browsing video titles on Amazon prime for my kindle, I came across a "movie" which is actually more of a long interview with an author and investigator, the title of which is "Collapse." The interview is with a former LAPD detective by the name of Michael Ruppert who is by no means a...

You should understand that some of us (generally referred to as "Protestant") don't agree about who the church is, and hold the scripture not only as God's written and proven word, but as more reliable than extra- biblical doctrine introduced by some "church" body. Consequently we have multiple...

No one is hearing your explanations, because you're dead wrong. You couldn't possibly know what you're talking about: You're without His Spirit, dead in transgression and sin, carnal in thinking, nothing more than a deceived man in the natural state, but you can know life, by submitting to His...

"All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. John 6:37 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. John 1:18 "No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from...

Yahavah is not God's personal name, but rather is His covenant name with Israel. You don't know Him or the scripture, but you may know Him today, if you hear His voice, call out upon the name of the Lord, submit to Jesus and trust that His blood is sufficient payment for all your sin. He is the...
