    First step of everlasting life

    God calls all Arm, it is so sad that the majority do not choose Him. I actually do not believe that the most hate God, I think they really deep down do not believe He exists. What responsible person would refuse everlasting life? People want to live, and so many give so much for just a few more...

    First step of everlasting life

    I take the term for face value sir. the two terms you use are interchangeable. They have no different meanings, simply translators option of the use of synonyms.

    First step of everlasting life

    It is when you first hear, but your relationship or the start to everlasting life is when you first act on what you heard. Since most of us learn someones name when first introduced, I try to use God's name to introduce an individual to Him. If that individual pursues gaining more knowledge, in...

    John 1:1 looked at HONESTLY!

    It means one of two things sir, Jesus is God, or in harmony with John 3:16 God (Jehovah) is with us in the fact that He sent a redeemer in our behalf. Can you think of anything else it could be?

    John 1:1 looked at HONESTLY!

    Thomas was one of Jesus' disciples, and he certainly knew who God was. What name of God do you suppose Jesus made manifest to Thomas K? Jn 17:6

    John 1:1 looked at HONESTLY!

    I guess your non answer is that you are not interested. Have a great day sir.

    A key verse in Bible understanding is John 10:16

    Jesus said: And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. KJV Jesus indicated there are two groups of Christians, have you ever wondered what he meant by that? How is this key in...

    Charismatic Bible Studies #2

    There is not other force like it sir, God's holy spirit has been used for so many things, matter of fact it keeps all of us alive Ps 146:4. It was used in creation Gen 1:2, as you mentioned it is a helper for those who are baptized by it. What I found extremely interesting about the holy...

    How many faiths does God accept as His?

    Yes sir, ever wonder where they all came from? Acts 20:29,30 Amazing how efficient satan is in dividing people.

    John 1:1 looked at HONESTLY!

    I doubt I could have stated it plainer sir, but may I ask, what part of what I said would lead you to ask a question such as that? Here is my answer however, we believe Jesus is Michael, and he has never sinned, either in heaven or on earth. We believe he was the greatest man who ever lived, as...

    John 1:1 looked at HONESTLY!

    One of us has a lack of understanding sir. You are clearly saying Jesus is God, I say he is not. We both cannot be correct, so therefore why not let Jesus answer it. Jesus asked this very question to his apostles: Who are men saying I am? The question was answered by Peter, and Jesus confirmed...

    You are correct sir, Rebecca was the one chosen to be Isaac's wife. Interesting that you mentioned that account, as we believe it very likely that the one sent is actually Eliezer was the one sent to search for his wife. Nice talking with you.

    First step of everlasting life

    Great question Dan, first of all Jesus sent a comforter; the holy spirit. They had a governing body Acts 15, and they had many congregations spread throughout the area, most of the New Testament were letters written to the congregations. Christians who were called to be holy ones, who have...

    First step of everlasting life

    Love comes through knowledge Armadeus, one takes in knowledge of God, the first step, hearing about Him, taking in that knowledge of Him, and then forming a love/hate relationship with Him. Jn 17:3 is the first step, coming to know Him.

    Charismatic Bible Studies #1

    Hi Gary, you misunderstand the meaning of what Exodus is saying. Jehovah's name was well known among them, but the significance of that name was not. Gods name first appears in the Bible at Genesis 2:4. He has but one name sir, and that name occurs 6973 times in Scripture. Where a lot of the...

    Coat or Garment of Many Colors

    Although it made a great song that can bring tears to your eyes when you hear it, you are very well correct, there was a lot of love in that gift. That coat played in very prominently in the moving forward of the first prophecy in the Bible, as well as the covenant with Abraham also given to Jacob.

    I really appreciate your answer sir, you have put some thought into this, and I commend you for that. I also see how you could apply that through reasoning to being the name of the holy spirit. I will have to say that I have to disagree, in that I believe that Eliezer was simply Moses' son and...

    John 1:1 looked at HONESTLY!

    If he is God there is no doubt about it, as God doesn't lie. Matter of fact the Bible clearly states: (Titus 1:2) . . .God, who cannot lie. . . That is the only thing that God cannot do. Since Jesus stated clearly he could not grant James and John position, nor did he know the day or hour...

    First step of everlasting life

    I can't deny that sir, although it seems totally illogical to me. I often ask what does Jehovah require of you that is so God awful that you are willing to sacrifice your everlasting life for it? I have only had one person who answered that question. Does that seem like a reasonable question...
