Why are you embarrassed to try to help others understand the Scriptures? Luke 9:26 (WEB): (26) For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels. 2 Corinthians 4:5-6 WEB...

These are two different things, two different phrases. The Old Testament reference is to a day of YHVH, whereas the New Testament use of the phrase is referring to Jesus: Jeremiah 46:10 LSV (10) And that day [is] to Lord YHWH of Hosts A day of vengeance, To be avenged of His adversaries, And...

I've no idea what that means. It's just gobbledygook to me!

Better translations: Micah 5:2 WEB (2) But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the clans of Judah, out of you one will come out to me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings out are from of old, from ancient times. or UASV+ (2) But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, the one too little...

Well you missed out that verse (John 3:16), so you're doing likewise! We can't quote every single relevant verse in the Bible when we comment on a topic - there are often too many verses to quote. That doesn't mean that we are picking and choosing. I picked a relevant verse, that's not...

God did not come in human form; He sent His Son instead. It's so simple to understand; it's not hidden. Just read carefully what the Scriptures say and don't make wrong assumptions based on what other people have told you. John 3:16 UASV+ (16) For God so loved the world that he gave his only...

No man could pay the redemption price (the life of a perfect man) because all men were imperfect and sinful in nature (which they inherited from Adam). God therefore chose to provide a perfect human body for His only begotten Son - Hebrews 10:5 (WEB): (5) Therefore when he comes into the...

Scripture cannot fight Scripture. When comparing verses of Scripture it helps us find the true meaning, the understanding that harmonises all the verses of Scripture. If you think that the verses are "fighting against" each other then that should be an indication that you have misunderstood...

In which case it is wrong to assume that Jesus was claiming to be God, and using God's name (in John 8:58), when other Scripture verses make that impossible, such as: Revelation 3:12 WEB (12) He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from there no...

Jesus spoke in Aramaic, which John translated into Greek when writing his Gospel, and others translated that into English. He did not speak God's name - that would have made no sense. Why do so many people stop at Exodus 3:14 and not read the next verse, in which God tells us what is His name...

For Jesus to say "Before Abraham was born, I am he" doesn't make much sense as a reply to John 8:57 (UASV+): (57) So the Jews said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?" The UASV note on the translation provides the most sensible translation - John 8:58 (UASV+)...

That can't be correct. Revelation 5:9-10 (WEB) (9) They {the 24 elders} sang a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the book, and to open its seals: for you were killed, and bought us for God with your blood, out of every tribe, language, people, and nation, (10) and made us kings and...

God calls people to become part of the body and bride of Christ, but that call ends when Jesus returns for his bride at the first resurrection and rapture. As Jesus mentioned in the parable of the ten virgins, Matthew 25:10 (WEB): (10) While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and...

“Zion” was one of the hills on which the city of Jerusalem was built. Note that Jerusalem is often referred to as the "daughter of Zion", e.g. Matthew 21:5 (WEB): (5) “Tell the daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”...

Speaking of which, notice 1 Corinthians 15:5-11 (WEB): (5) and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. (6) Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep. (7) Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles...

You didn't answer my question, which was "Where do you get that from?", i.e. which concordance, dictionary, lexicon, etc.. If you don't specify the source where you got the information from, then we can't so easily fact check your data, and we should therefore not trust that you have not made a...

Where do you get that from? Strong's says it means 'death'. Even Google Translate of θάνατος (thánatos) says it means 'death'. The symbolism of fire implies utter destruction, consistent with 2 Peter 3:7 (WEB): (7) But the heavens that now exist, and the earth, by the same word have been...

This is not addressed to Christians. Christians have a part in the first resurrection, when they become immortal, and they will reign with Jesus for 1,000 years over the rest of mankind, who have a part in the second resurrection at the beginning of the 1,000 years. As Revelation 20:6 says...

That's a bit harsh; not everyone sees it! Isaiah 42:6 - Literal Standard Version): (6) I, YHWH, called you in righteousness, And I lay hold on your hand, and keep you, And I give you for a covenant of a people, And a light of nations. Brenton's English Septuagint: (6) I the Lord God have...

Interesting observation. Albert Barnes' Notes agrees with you (I added the underlining): For by grace are ye saved - By mere favor. It is not by your Own merit; it is not because you have any claim. This is a favorite doctrine with Paul, as it is with all who love the Lord Jesus in sincerity...
