Some believers don't think Jesus was a spirit person next to God before being born as a human being. Nevertheless the Scriptures record many sayings of Jesus himself that indicate that this is the case. Some of them are registered by the inspired John in his gospel: John 1:1-3, 14,15, 18; 3:13...

In a commentary to the expression 'he emptied himself' in Phil 2:7 in a Bible Study I own, it says: he emptied himself: The Greek word rendered “emptied” literally means to remove the content of something. Here Paul uses the word figuratively with reference to Jesus, who gave up his spirit...

You may not have realized that every time Jesus mentions the first and most important commandment, he recites the Jewish Shema, that is, Deut. 6:4,5. Some recorded examples are: in Mark 12:29, and the second part is mentioned in Mat. 22:37,38 (Compare Deut. 10:12). However, although it is not...

In Acts 7 Stephen makes a brief recount since when God calls Abraham for the first time (Acts 7:2-7) until he calls Moses to bring Abraham's offspring out of Egypt (Acts 7:30-36). He then says that Jesus is the prophet that God told Moses that he would send in the future (Acts 7:37), but that...

When angels went and talked to Abraham and ate with him ... Does that mean they have a kind of "double-body"? What kind of body angels have?

Peter said that there will come to be "new" heaven and earth compared to the ones that exist in this era. Peter said that it will happen because it is a promise from God. 2 Peter 3:13 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God (...) ? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise...

If we put John's inspired words in context, we can know what/who is he talking about. He mentioned in Rev. 19:11-16 the same person in John 1:1-3, and you know what? It is clearly Jesus whom he is referring to by that title: the Logos of God. Did you know that the Gospel and letters of John and...

I think most Christians do not understand what a spirit body is. A "body" doesn't have to be fleshy. Angels have bodies, and their bodies are made of spirit, that's why they are invisible. The word "spirit" translates a Hebrew and a Greek words that mean also "wind". The idea in the word...

Jesus was very interested in his followers knowing clearly who had sent him. Just in his prayer to Jehovah recorded in John 17, he says about 7 times that he had made it clear to his followers that He had sent him. (Rotherham) John 17:1 These things spake Jesus, and lifting up his eyes unto...

No idea what you mean. The Father is an individual and Jesus is another different individual. Each of them have a different name: (ASV) Rev. 3:12 He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence no more: and I will write upon him the name of my...

AGAIN: I DO ACCEPT AND I WILL USE THE FORM JEHOVAH because everyone knows that it translates in English the hebrew name of God for centuries ... I am sure God answer to all English-speakers who call Him like that. So do not insist. Don't you know who I am talking about? You certainly do. Read...

No need to. You need to accept that the issue with the comma there is real.

Jesus said not to call him "good" because only one is good, God (Mark 10:18). Notice here some interesting things that explain the reason for his words: (Rotherham) Mat.5:43 Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Be loving your...

It sounds ridiculous, that the second most important person in the whole universe is reduced up there, to a single less than 2 meters tall body of flesh and bones.

If the disciples clearly knew that Jesus had been a living spirit before he was born, they would have no confusion about Jesus being alive again as it relates to his new body. If after resurrecting he had a spirit body and manifested like the angels of old, his disciples would have understood...

Based on what you have learned or been taught, how would you respond to this question: Did the disciples recognize that Jesus had lived in heaven before being born as a human? Later I'll post about what I've learned in my Bible study on that matter. PS: Whichever you answer, please prove it...

The problem with that is that Jesus said to the woman in John 20:17, the third day of that happening: "Be not detaining me, for not yet have I ascended unto the Father" (The Emphasized Bible). Later in Acts 1:3 it says he was "throughout forty days making himself visible unto them and speaking...

The problem Paul is mentioning have nothing to do with Christians. If anyone do live the way Paul is saying in that passage is not a real Christian ... Paul is contrasting the life of those "who hold the truth in unrighteousness" (verse 18-KJV) or "hinder the truth in unrighteousness" (NASV)...

When the Scriptures say that Jesus was raised from the dead (1 Cor. 15:12,20), that he was resurrected (Acts 2:24,32), and that his soul was taken from Hades (Acts 2:31), I understand all three expressions mean the same thing: he was brought back to life by God at the third day of being dead...

Have you ever tried to count the times the Jewish Shema is explicitly mentioned or partially paraphrased in the NT? Every time that happens in the NT, Christians are being reminded of Jehovah's identity as the only God.
