Where in Scripture does it say that we should pray to each other? Jesus taught us how to pray. He told us we should pray to our Father in heaven, and not to anybody else. Matthew 6:9 - Jesus said, "Pray like this: ‘Our Father in heaven, ...".

Why? There were three men. Two were obviously angels in human form. The third could also have been an angel (messenger) in human form, a spokesman for God (Yahweh). It might well have been Jesus, but we can't prove it either way. Please give references! The above is Galations 3:17. The...

Have you not heard of the word hallelujah? See Revelation 19 (the only place it occurs, for it is Hebrew words in the Greek manuscripts that was not translated into English, just transliterated into hallelujah), (WEB): (1) After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great...

There is no mention of the Son of God in that verse, so how do you come to the conclusion that YHVH is both God's name and His Son's name?

Nobody would perform the sign of being baptised if they hadn't first repented of their sins and believed that Jesus is our Lord and saviour, through whose sacrifice of his perfect human life our right to life has been purchased, and that we will be given eternal life if we remain faithful...

That's not what it says! Genesis 4:17-18 (WEB): (17) Cain knew his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. (18) To Enoch was born Irad. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of...

Revelation 5:14, KJV: (14) And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever. WEB: (14) The four living creatures said, “Amen!” Then the elders fell down and worshiped. The Cambridge Bible Notes says: And the four and...

Luke 3:38 - "the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God." Adam was not the same nature as God. In Genesis 6 angels are called the "sons of God". Jesus was the only being created by God, but his spirit being nature was different - like the angels he was not immortal...

An important part of Jesus' message about the Kingdom of God, is that we can become part of it, as priests and kings along with Jesus: John 1:12 (WEB): (12) But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name: Revelation 5:9-10...

Here is some more information on the subject: The New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures was released in English in 1950, and the complete New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures was published in 1961. Pastor Russell Founded the Bible Students In 1870...

YHVH (Yahavah) means "Self-existing father of love" - see .

That can't be right - the Jehovah's Witnesses was founded in 1931.

Yes, I agree, and it still confuses people today (as in the OP quoted verses)! Why do people think that referring to Jesus as Lord means that he is God? Just because God was referred to as Lord too? And if you need to be referred to as Lord in order to be regarded as God, then why is the Holy...

Eh? You are trying to be brief? That's what brevity means. Or did you mean you were trying to add a little humour? :confused:

I'm not sure that I agree with that. :confused: The WEB translates Colossians 3:22-24 as: (22) Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God. (23) And whatever you do...

Then you are being literal and disagreeing with Jesus! :) : Matthew 8:22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. Paul wrote similarly about the unsaved being considered dead, in Ephesians 2:5: Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ...

It does in English! Like Adam, we are all dying, and we will eventually die. Romans 6:23 (WEB): (23) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Matthew 8:21-22 (WEB): (21) Another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, allow me first to go...

I wasn't adding to God's word, I simply said that, as the KJV footnote states, the literal translation of the Hebrew is not just "die", but is "dying you shall die". I then explained that by saying it means that they started to die (dying) and that eventually they would die (you shall die)...

Err, I don't understand that! I said "A more precise translation", not 'the least precise translation'. No. The day they ate some fruit from the tree they began to die. It was not figurative or metaphorical language, it was a clear statement of truth. The original language stated "dying, you...

That's perhaps not the best example, because it's mainly down to a translation problem. A more precise translation of the Hebrew, as indicated in the KJV footnote, is "in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. [{thou shalt surely … : Heb. dying thou shalt die }]" (Genesis...
