    There is no one righteous, not even one. Really?

    No one can consider themselves righteous because the assessment criteria about righteousness belongs to God himself. Actually, since Adam and Eve sinned all their descendants lack the necessary qualities not to fail in absolutely anything, so it is impossible to even believe that we ourselves...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    That's not what the Scriptures teach, since in Job 14:4-7 there were "sons of God" when the planet was being created. Job 38:4 Where were you when I founded the earth? Tell me, if you think you understand. 5 Who set its measurements, in case you know, Or who stretched a measuring line across...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Ancient Israel and the Christian congregation have a different relationship with God. For example: While the Israelites were under the law of Moses, Christians no longer have to comply with the detailed requirements of the law with its legal consequences. Those were a nation that was assigned a...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Well, I'll answer that before disconecting to take a break: You think that "Jesus is occupying a role only God can occupy" and that makes it difficult to you to reconcile those verses that say Jesus has a God. Remember: you THINK that. Why you think those roles are God's? Just because you...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Psal. 83:18 May people know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth.

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    I understand you, but you haven't realized that you have chosen one side: that of the people who say that it doesn't matter what you believe about the identity of God and Jesus. It's a wrong side, but for some reason the biblical information I'm sharing with you isn't of much use to you...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    I hear you. Listen what the Scriptures say: Heb. 5:5 So, too, the Christ did not glorify himself by becoming a high priest, but was glorified by the One who said to him: “You are my son; today I have become your father.” 6 As he also says in another place, “You are a priest forever in the...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    You differ with Jesus ... Rev. 3:12 The one who conquers—I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will by no means go out from it anymore, and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem that descends out of heaven from my God...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    I heard you the first time you said that. Did you hear Jesus? John 17:3 This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. Rom. 10:9 For if you publicly declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and exercise faith in your heart...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Well, we all need to take a side: the truth or the lie. Consider this: the Most High God could not call anyone "God", as that would indicate that there is someone above him and then he would no longer be the Most High or Sovereign. Have you considered how many times Jesus speaks about his God...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    You dissagree with Jesus. That is your problem, not mine: John 20:17 Jesus said to her: “Stop clinging to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.’”

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Jesus called his Father: "you, the only true God". Binitarians or Trinitarians don't listen. Rev. 3:12 The one who conquers—I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will by no means go out from it anymore, and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    I hear you, but Jesus said something different: John 17:3 This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    There is truth and there is lie. I trust that God will take care of finding sincere people and bringing them to the truth. John 3:19 Now this is the basis for judgment: that the light has come into the world, but men have loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were wicked. 20...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Yes, it is a Mesianic Psalm, like Psal. 89. But it's not talking about GOD: Psal. 45:1 My heart is stirred by something good. I say: “My song is about a king.” May my tongue be the stylus of a skilled copyist. 2 You are the most handsome of the sons of men. Gracious speech flows from your lips...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Heb. 1:8 refers to Ps. 45:6,7, an ode to a human king. It is impossible for that psalm to call a human king "God," so it is evident that the translation of Heb. 1:8 which suggests that idea is an incorrect translation... you would have to translate the same thing in the Psalm where the reference...

    What is unbelievable about the Bible

    There's not any mistery on Jesus eating and drinking in a material/physical body when he was already a spirit. Angels did the same in ancient times, like the ones who came to see Abraham (Gen. 18). This is an interesting example: Judg. 6:11 Later Jehovah’s angel came and sat under the big tree...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    In the entire Bible I don't see any binitarian Jews. Paul, who was an educated Pharisee and later became a Christian, never stopped worshiping Jehovah. Rom. 1:9 For God, to whom I render sacred service with my spirit in connection with the good news about his Son, is my witness of how without...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    2 Thess. 2:9-12 says there is LIE and TRUTH. Lies, like ignorance, provide comfort and even pleasure. The truth requires effort and honesty. I don´t have any opinion ... it is what it is, as written.

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Everyone reads the same (more or less) ... some people won't get it because of their attitude. PERIOD. 2 Thess. 2:9 But the lawless one’s presence is by the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and wonders 10 and every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing, as...
