Believers need to understand that being "born again" is not about feeling a certain way emotionally. This issue has much to do with a selection made by Jesus' Father of people He desires to accompany His Son and be part of His symbolic body in heaven. Not all Christians are part of that body...

"Mystery" is a translation of the Greek word μυστήριον [mysterion]. The word "mystery" in English doesn't accurately define what the Greek word implies as used in the Bible, as that word has been surrounded by a halo of mysticism typical of Gnosticism. For example, although it speaks of things...

The kingdom of heaven was only preached at the time of Jesus and later, so the hope of living in heaven did not belong to the Israelites before Jesus Christ. All of them will be resurrected to live on earth, while the resurrection to live in heaven belongs to certain chosen Christians, beginning...

The Bible teaches that Jesus was the first to be raised from the dead to live in heaven. In fact, we are told that he was the one who opened the door to that place for human beings, who must die and be resurrected in a different form in order to enter the place where the spirits dwell. This...

The modern nation of Israel has nothing to do with Jesus Christ.

In the Gospels, we often find the expression "the good news of the Kingdom (of God/the heavens)." Some of these passages explain the most important information surrounding this news. Matt. 3:1 In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, 2 saying: “Repent, for the...

The book of Acts was written by Luke, not Paul. The book of Acts does not discuss Paul's ministry as a Christian until Acts 9:20, and then from Acts 11:25 when Barnabas seeks him out in Tarsus to accompany him in helping the brethren in Jerusalem (12:25). In fact, Paul's missionary work begins...

Of course: Jesus' opinion is superior to any other one. Since he said he spoke what he was told by the Father, and we don't hear literally and directly the word of God, we must listen to Jesus and the Scriptures (the prophets, apostles and other inspired writers). I just don't understand why...

This thread is yet another effort to convince individuals that they can hold any belief they desire as long as they act accordingly. That notion is entirely misguided: a falsehood stands in stark contrast to the truth. If you choose to believe and propagate a lie, you are not aligned with the...

Perhaps what you understand as "body" is not what I understand it to mean. A body doesn't have to be solid or even visible from a human perspective. A "body", IMHO, is anything that can be distinguished independently from its surroundings because since it has a perimeter that limits its...

You can check the Scriptures by yourself. Have you never read that all of God's children are presented before him in assembly, or texts that demonstrate that all of them can literally be counted numerically? If you can't reason your own questions through the answers offered to you, why ask...

I agree that there are questions whose answers are not in the Bible, but why should the answers to all questions be in the Bible? Perhaps by analyzing the answers we do have, we can logically deduce the answers to other questions that are not directly answered, although the deductions would be a...

I could mention several texts that prove that angels have individual bodies in a different dimension than ours, but the simple fact that each of them has their own personal name I think is proof enough.

There are many texts in the Bible where the Greek word for "body" is used. That's why it's important to understand some details about what the word "body" in the Bible can mean. First, let's clarify that angels, although invisible to our eyes, also have a "body" that distinguishes each of them...

Punishment is part of justice. This is true of human laws that judge those who break them. How much more will God punish all those who ultimately decided to continue violating His righteous principles? The only ones who complain about criminals being punished, aren't the criminals themselves...

Paul never believed that good people would go to heaven before being resurrected. 1 Cor. 15:16 For if the dead are not to be raised up, neither has Christ been raised up. 17 Further, if Christ has not been raised up, your faith is useless; you remain in your sins. 18 Then also those who have...

Based on what I've gathered from various believers, this location referred to as "Abraham's bosom" is said to be the destination for all of Jehovah's faithful servants prior to our era after their passing. It's claimed that this place was vacated by Jesus Christ when he arrived there after his...

Hezekiah, a king of Judah, fell gravely ill. Jehovah sent the prophet Isaiah with the message of his impending death. Upon receiving this news, he wept bitterly and earnestly prayed to Jehovah, recounting all the righteous deeds he had accomplished throughout his life. The prophet had not yet...

Neither do I. Even so, I have come across numerous passages in the Bible that indicate that the male is the leader of the female. However, I don't know any women in my congregation who are "subservient to men," which I believe is what you're implying. All the women follow the theocratic...

That is great. I have great respect for courage that stems from genuine foundations. Then I wonder why you disagree with the biblical theocratic order that position males as head of females. Contentious topics that have emerged as significant global political matters can alarm certain...
