In John 5:26, Jesus is just teaching that He and the Father are ONE, that He does all that the Father does. Now how could any created being, lesser than the Father do ALL that the Father does unless He is God and equal? :For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son...

Jesus is the pre-incarnate Great I AM (Ex. 3:14). He introduced Himself back then to Moses and filled in the blanks when He became flesh and dwelt among us: I am the way, the truth and the life ... I am the Good Shepherd ... I am the Bread of Life ... I am the Resurrection ... I am the Door...

The Trinity and monotheism is not a dichotomy. The Jews always had a blurry and incomplete view of God until Christ came.

Judaism is blind still, with many doctrines, beliefs and practices obsolete and at best blurry. Most of them did not get Jesus, Who is the way the truth and the life. He is the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets. So unbelieving Jews are told to go stand in the corner and turn around -...

Did not say He causes us to trust, but we are all born spiritually blind. We cannot remove this blindness ourselves. He enables us to see spiritually. I am not a Calvinist and if you knew me, you would know I argue against TULIP. We can believe in predestination without adopting TULIP! The...

I never implied that. God loved me prior to my conversion - since I was born. He had a plan that 35 years years after I was born, we would have this divine appointment. So He had to protect me, guide me along the way to make sure I made that appointment. And months leading up to that time, He...

His sheep began with the house of Israel, then after His mission and Pentecost, it spread throughout the world. We were grafted into to the Vine and are His sheep. In Romams 11, Paul differentiates Israel with the Gentiles and states that in the end times, when Jesus returns, a remnant of the...

We are chosen! The doctrine of election is sound. The apparent paradox is in your limited perception. We see with blurry vision when it comes to the foreknowledge of God. There us this tension between the spiritual realm and our physical realm. What God has decided in eternity past may not have...

In context, the chapter begins with Jesus visiting Mary and Lazarus. Certainly many were drawn to Him after He resurrected Lazarus. With His entrance into Jerusalem, many were drawn to Him, but not all. Even with all the miracles, many did not believe. “For a little while longer the Light is...

Can't compare an animal's life with a human life. Physically, their illness and days left to live is not based on a person's love or hate relationship. Furthermore, animals do not have a spiritually redemptive existence based on a rational choice. I would never assume or imply to know God's...

That's right. Did He love the likely tens of millions he destroyed in the Flood? No, that was not an expression of love. He will return and destroy billions (likely 2/3 of the planet)... that is not an expression of love either. He is a God of justice. Romans 1 says people reach a certain point...

Is the Father a monotheist? He identifies Jesus as God. But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. Heb. 1:8 It's forgivable though since Jesus did not consider equality with God something that you could grasp...

Well, I won't bother getting into a long, drawn out, futule argument; so we'll just disagree. But when you see Him, will you bow a knee and worship Him?

Jesus is Yaweh/Jehovah. The pre-incarnate Jesus spoke to Moses on Exodus. 3:14. "I AM WHO I AM" and instructs Moses to tell the Israelites, "I AM has sent me to you". That was a brief introduction to God. A beginning of a relationship that would grow and in time, God would fully reveal Himself...

I supported the 7th Trumpet as the last in context with the events in Rev 11:15-19. Also the 7 bowls are identified as the wrath of God, which are released at hat time. I am a Mid-Trib/ Pre-Wrath adherent btw, not Post - Trib.

You'd think turtles are docile and slow... I love snorkeling with sea turtles, but never came across a alligator snapping turtle. https://images.app.goo.gl/pkfuhMYM2i8fecRz5

"There's my big boy"! Please, they are not domestic animals, not pets. We are supposed to subdue animals, keep their populations down to keep us out of danger. We should be able to swim and boat freely anywhere without threat. This animal activist/ rights theme has granted southern states as...

John received the Revelation on 95AD; Jesus acquired it when He ascended. Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?" 3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it...

It's your perogative and perspective. Many of the present day theologians sm that I have learned from are Pre-Trib too! But when you start witnessing catastrophic events as described in the 7 Seals and 6 Trumpets and the Church is still here, you'll quickly abandon your Pre-Trib. view. >>>...

Jesus received the scroll almost 2,000 years ago. The elders present could not be tuw church- it hadn't even gotten started. No, these were OT saints (prophets, kings, etc.) like Abraham, Moses, Elijah, Daniel, Isaiah, Joseph, Eziekiel, David, Solomon, Hezekiah, Samuel, Josiah, Johoshaphat...
