It was the only begotten son of God, Jesus, who was sacrificed (John 3:16). They are not two different beings. Jesus was a spirit being originally, then God changed his nature to be a human, and after his death God resurrected him and changed him again to have the immortal divine nature, so...

I didn't say that the second fold of sheep were Jews, I said that it was those that come to faith during the Millennial Age. I was not referring to the 144,000 sealed Jews and the great multitude made up of people from all nations who came to faith during the great tribulation. I was referring...

That's a classic example of taking a verse (in this case just part of a sentence) out of context and coming up with a totally incorrect idea/belief as a result! This is the whole passage, Ephesians 5:22-32 (WEB): (22) Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. (23) For the...

Hebrews 9:27 (WEB): (27) Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,

We should follow Jesus' example, love our neighbours and be forgiving: John 8:4-11 (4) they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act. (5) Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?” (6) They said this testing him, that...

This is similar to Leviticus 18:22 (ISV) - important enough that it is repeated?: (22) You are not to have sexual relations with a male as you would with a woman. It's detestable." Jesus said, Matthew 5:17-20 (WEB): (17) “Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t...

Galatians 3:10-12 (WEB): (10) For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.” (11) Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for...

John 10:16 (WEB): (16) I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd. You're still not explaining it! The two folds (not flocks) of sheep mentioned in John 10:16 are commonly interpreted to be...

I don't call making the claim that Paul was writing to the 144,000 mentioned in Revelation (not written until decades after Paul's letter), as explaining it well! Paul was writing to all Christians. There is just one faith, remember? (Ephesians 4:4-6). There is no hint that Paul was writing...

Paul's letter was written specifically to the church congregation in Corinth, but it was also written to all Christians, to everyone who has Jesus as their Lord - 1 Corinthians 1:2 (WEB): (2) to the assembly of God which is at Corinth; those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints...

I think you are mistaken. There are only two references to the 144,000. In both case they are on the earth, and neither of them mentions them as being immortal.

Perhaps this article, that I've posted before, will help reassure us? Christ’s Inheritance [Scripture quotations are from the REB (Revised English Bible) unless otherwise stated.] As Christians we are truly greatly blessed by God! We are not blessed because we are more deserving than others...

Here's my second (or third) opinion. Most people today understand the word 'faith' to refer to a religious belief, such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddism, Hinduism, etc.. One dictionary definition is "a sytem of religious belief". A denomiation is defined as 'a religious group, usually...

I have read again your posts and my posts, and as far as I can see I have addressed all the verses that you have quoted. I have not ignored any of them. On the other hand, you have not addressed all of the verses that I have quoted. What did Jesus say? "Why do you see the speck that is in...

Are you suggesting that John 17:3, where Jesus says that the Father is the only true God, is not a real verse?! o_O You are assuming that Jesus said that in Revelation 1:8. However, it is actually God saying it: WEB: (8) “I am the Alpha and the Omega, ” says the Lord God,“who is and who was...

Acts 2:36 (36) “Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.” I wrote that the verse that Robert quoted (verse 36) "doesn't say anything in relation to Jesus' resurrection". The subject of his post was that...

I never referred to Hebrews 2! However, I'll explain it to you. :) We need interpret it in context, so here's more of the passage: Hebrews 2:5-9 (WEB): (5) For he didn’t subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels. (6) But one has somewhere testified, saying, “What is man, that...

Jesus is the Son of God because he is the only-begotten son of God! He was anointed by God to be the redeemer of mankind, and that was the purpose of him being made a man and being sent to the earth, to sacrifice his soul as a substitute for Adam, and to pay the redemption price. He didn't...

The Bible records Jesus saying that the Father alone is God (John 17:3), and when the Jews accused Jesus of claiming to be God he denied it and said he was claiming to be God's son (John 10:33-38). Jesus refers to his Father, YHWH, as his God (John 20:17, Revelation 3:12). God's word (the...

Because that was God's commandment, which Jesus confirmed was the greatest commandment. Deuteronomy 6:1-5 (WEB): (1) Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it...
