If you consider other's understanding false, why do you think yours is not? It looks like you want to make dissapear other's biblical analysis to impose yours. Sorry, but that won't work with some of us. I guess it may be useful for your church though. παρουσίας is correctly translated as...

I wasn´t talking about your doctrine of a Triune Godhead ... I was talking about Jesus and his resurrection ... but it is Ok if you don't like that topic either. Anyway, the thread is supposed to be about why there are so many diferent ways to interpret the Scriptures and how to learn the truth...

Neither I am. I was trying to help you reason in what the Bible says ... but if you think that can harm you, it is your right not to talk about the truth. You have your right, and your left coffee: Have a wonderful weekend.

Peter says: 2 Pet. 1:5 (...) by YOUR contributing in response all earnest effort, supply to YOUR faith virtue, to [YOUR] virtue knowledge, 6 to [YOUR] knowledge self-control, to [YOUR] self-control endurance, to [YOUR] endurance godly devotion, 7 to [YOUR] godly devotion brotherly affection, to...

Tell me, @Johann : if there was one Jesus resurrecting another one, How many Jesuses would there really be?

Why it is correct to translate the word ἐξανάστασις as "early resurrection" in Phil. 3:11? This is an interesting explanation the Biblical Encyclopedia of the JWs "Insight" says in the topic RESURRECTION/First Resurrection here https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200003709 : The apostle Paul...

I guess you don't know what I meant with PAROUSIA. That is the Greek word we can see in most biblical texts talking about Jesus' presence; some versions translate "coming". It is interesting how you negate what the Scriptures say. I guess you used to sermon others who do not know what the...

Thank you for sharing the way you understand this issue. I don't agree, since I don't believe there are two Jesuses in heaven: one that died and the other one who resurrected him. There is one Jesus, and he is the one who said "I became dead, but look! I am living" in Rev. 1:18. Rev. 2:8 “And...

Friend Johann, did you get the point? This translation problem greatly changes the interpretation of the passage. It is very important to correctly understand what Jesus said, so as not to invent ideas that are not in the Bible. It is not the same to say "I have permission to receive my life...

Maybe you should read the whole Scriptures more often to get a better understanding.

There is a translation issue with the Greek text here in John 10:17,18. The Greek verb λαμβάνω that is translated in this expression "I may TAKE it AGAIN" means also RECEIVE. It is not logical to translate it "to take again", since a dead person can't do anything for his dead body. If there...

That's an interesting idea, thanks for sharing what you think. However, according to the texts that speak of the first resurrection, it only occurs during the PAROUSIA of Christ, and not before (1 Cor. 15:23; 1 Thess. 4:15,16; 2 Thess. 2:1). After 25 years as a Christian missionary, Paul wrote...

The Christian brotherhood that God accepts is not how we want it to be, but how God wants it to be (John 4:23,24). Pedophiles would like there to be a brotherhood/sorority that would not claim them for their acts, and also drunkards, and liars... Just as the Devil would like religious lies to...

I do not understand what you say. Can you explain better? ... if possible, use biblical texts as support. Thanks for participating.

Look at the text: Rev. 20:5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the 1,000 years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6 Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the...

In the book of Acts, Paul tells Felix, the Roman Governor, that the ancestors of the Jews had received from God the hope of the resurrection. Acts 26:6 But now for the hope of the promise that was made by God to our forefathers, I stand on trial; 7 this is the same promise our 12 tribes are...

@St. SteVen , you didn't answer the question. Tell me also: What do you think will happen to the dead when the resurrection of the dead that Jesus and his disciples spoke of occurs? John 5:28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear...

Johann, what do you think will happen to the dead when the resurrection of the dead that Jesus and his disciples spoke of occurs? John 5:28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to...

Thanks, but I do prefer the dialog. Internet videos and sermons are essential part of the religious confusion of people in the world. Satan enjoys it.

Paul said: 1 Cor. 15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep .... So Jesus was the first to be awakened from the sleep of the dead so as not to die again. Rom. 6:8 Moreover, if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also...
