You could equally say that all topics that are repeatedly discussed are fruitless. What is the purpose of this forum? At the bottom of every page the 'About us' paragraph says: "Our community has been around for many years and pride ourselves on offering unbiased, critical discussion among...

Well we can't do that. When I go to any of the Non-Christian forums it says "You have insufficient privileges to post threads here". Moreover, I disagree. Christians should be able to study and discuss Christain beliefs in a Bible Study forum. It's exactly where it belongs.

According to dictionaries close-handed means "stingy, miserly, or unwilling to spend money or give generously. It can also be used to describe someone who is secretive or keeps their emotions hidden." I'm none the wiser as to why the Trinity cannot be discussed!

Why has the thread 'Why was "I am God" thread locked?' also been locked before I had a chance to reply? In that thread Rita posted: the trinity can be discussed, and threads will be monitored. The statement of faith adds that it is now a close handed subject and cannot be debated against. The...

Why has the "I am God" thread been locked, citing that "I suggest members remember that this is a Trinity believing forum, and debating against it is no longer allowed on this forum"? There was an announcement on 6th December 2024 in the thread Policy Change - Topics On The Trinity Can Now Be...

The apostles and the Old Testament prophets also performed many miracles, but they were not God. When Elijah called fire down from heaven it was not Elijah that did that - he prayed to YHVH and YHVH sent the fire. Likewise it was not Jesus who performed the miracles (for he was just like us -...

The words "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last" in verse 11 are spurious and not found in older manuscripts, i.e. they were a later addition and not part of God's word. Modern translations correctly omit them, e.g.: Revelation 1:11 (WEB): (11) saying, “What you see, write in...

It does not say "I am 'I am'" . The obvious sensible tranlstion into English is "I am he". From the context it should also be obvious that Jesus is not saying that he was his Father (God): John 8:24-29 (24) I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I...

Yes, everyone who wants to have eternal life must believe in Jesus and accept him as their Lord - John 14:6 (WEB): (6) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. Acts 2:36 (WEB): (36) “Let all the house of Israel therefore know...

It is God (our Father) who is saying that. The WEB says: (8) “I am the Alpha and the Omega, ” says the Lord God,“who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” "The Peshitta New Testament is the only complete Aramaic New Testament known today which is held by a significant Christian...

Jesus knew how to pronounce God's name, and he revealed that to his disciples: John 17:6 (6) I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word. John 17:26 (26) I made known to them your name...

Wrong. God's name is YHVH - Exodus 3:15 (WEB): (15) God said moreover to Moses, “You shall tell the children of Israel this, ‘Yahweh [YHVH], the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is my...

Again, a poor translation, translated by deceived Trinity believing translators. Read it in context to correctly understand the meaning. This is how The Living Bible translates it: 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He knew I was coming and was glad." 57 The Jewish leaders: “You...

I quoted the Literal Standard Version. Here are some more (more modern) translations: WEB: (6) who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, TLV: (6) Who, though existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal to God a thing to be...

That's a poor translation - so poor that it means the opposite of what it should say! Consider a literal translation: Philippians 2:5-9 (LSV): (5) For let this mind be in you that [is] also in Christ Jesus, (6) who, being in the form of God, thought [it] not something to be seized to be...

Josiah and Jeremiah also said that God/YHVH "is with me": 2 Chronicles 35:21 (WEB): (21) But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, “What have I to do with you, you king of Judah? I come not against you today, but against the house with which I have war. God has commanded me to make haste. Beware...

It should be obvious - Jesus did not say that he is God because he is not God. He is God's only begotten son: 1 John 4:9 (9) In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 1 Corinthians 8:6 (WEB)...

That passage does not say that the world/earth will be destroyed - it says those living on the earth will see Jesus coming with great power and glory, and that then the "elect" shall be gathered (“These are those who came out of the great tribulation", Revelation 7:14, those that became...

What translation is that? Other translations are: KJV: (21) And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. WEB: (21) It shall happen in that day that Yahweh will punish the army of the...

So when Jesus said "Most certainly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don’t have life in yourselves", according to you he was not telling the truth, for this figure of speech, just like the parable in Luke 16, was not literally true. Yes, because it...
