    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Nothing about God's identity can be a "divine mystery," because if God's will is for you to know Him and His Son in order to be saved, it would be futile to even try to save yourself because you cannot know something that would be an incomprehensible mystery. .. and God would be cruel to demand...

    There is no spiritual gift called "the gift of tongues".

    In the early 20th century, when Pentecostals began to expand their idea that they were being anointed with spirit and given the ability to speak in tongues, some leaders among them went to African territories in order to teach their doctrine. These religious people really believed that they...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    That is nothing more than a pretext to continue in the same confusion, because where there is confusion anyone can invent "clarifications" and so glorify themselves. The clear reality is evident in the Bible and if we want to be honest to ourselves we must accept it as it is: Jesus is the Son...

    Recognizing Interpretive Bias

    As has always been the case, God's true people is not an ideological anarchy. In the people of God there is a group of people who must serve to help understand the truths revealed to the rest. In the time of Israel they were priests, judges, prophets and kings. In Christian times they were the...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    If Jesus is the Son of God, it is obvious that he is not God. Jesus has a God. Do you consider yourself as having that very same God Jesus has??? Jesus called Him "my God and your God" (John 20:17) and he even in heavens talked about Him as his God (Rev. 3:12) ... What other people think, say...

    Is the story of Lazarus and the rich man literal?

    When we analyze the context of the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, the entire chapter, Lk. 16, we can notice that it is not about doctrines on the state of the dead, but about the false idea that social status and riches are a sign of God's approval. The Pharisees of Jesus' time glorified...

    What does the term "will of God" mean?

    As said, God's will when He created humans on the planet was that the descendants of Adam and Eve would live forever and exercise adequate control of the assets that God formed for them. Humans were not supposed to get sick and die, but to live happily and forever on earth turned into a...

    When Jesus was on earth, God was in heaven, and Jesus talked about Him.

    Is the story of Lazarus and the rich man literal?

    There are many reasons why we can't consider that illustration a literal story. Some of them: 1) Moses' law is not a must for Christians (Lk. 16:29) ... Obviously that parable was intended only for Jews (Lk. 16:14). 2) There are many scriptures saying dead people "know nothing at all" (Eccl...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Since Jesus said: 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.’” ... this statement "a supernatural entity [existing] as a spirit...

    What does the term "will of God" mean?

    The will of God does not depend on what other creatures think, say or do. When God created the earth and everything on it, he declared as GOOD everything He created, so his will was done. Gen. 1:31 After that God saw everything he had made, and look! it was very good. And there was evening and...

    Questions for Sabbatarians

    The expression "the day of the Lord" in Rev. 1:10 has nothing to do with what day of the week the day of the visions was, but the day or period in the future when Jesus would be enthroned in heavens and finished the great purpose of bringing the end to the evil human system of things under Satan...

    Should I use someone’s preferred pronouns if it is not their gender?

    I don't have to AGREE with people with an incorrect point of view. I am not obligated. (Matt. 10:32-39)

    When were angels created?

    Yes, they were created before the first day, because that FIRST day is not about the rest of the Universe, but about terraforming the planet to adapt it for the posterior life. When the earth was already full of the extraordinary beauty that differentiates it from any other spatial body, and...

    Should I use someone’s preferred pronouns if it is not their gender?

    I guess it's enough to not refer to them in the third person when you're in front of them. If you talk TO THEM, you will only have to use second person pronouns and not the third person which seems to be problematic from their point of view. If you talk ABOUT THEM use the proper pronoun, but...

    Did God the Father or Jesus create angels

    I can say something similar about that "concious after-dead soul/ghost/spirit" and what spiritualism/spiritism/witchery teaches. Ecclesiastes is clear enough in what it explains about the condition of dead: Eccl. 9:4 There is hope for whoever is among the living, because a live dog is better...

    A serious questions for the Jehovah's Witnesses on these threads.

    Antiwitnesses puppets bots is what we can see all over the internet. Some of them are worse programmed than others, but all of them are programmed to spread hate and provoke verbal-hate crimes on the web. They should be de-programed because of their lack of human principles... annihilated in...

    The Biblical Truth About Hell - video and transcript

    The relationship between Annihilationism and Universalism is not necessary at all. One thing does not imply the other. The Bible is clear about people who will be eliminated from existence not only temporarily, but forever. Psal. 69:26 For they pursue the one whom you struck, And they keep...

    Was religion created to meet a human need?

    "Religion" is the same as "form of worship." It is connected to the recognition of God, and formed by a set of intrinsic beliefs and practices. From my point of view, religion existed since the creation of Adam, because he already had a direct relationship with his Creator, because he spoke...

    To Be : Made Righteous

    Rom. 12:3 For through the undeserved kindness given to me I tell everyone there among YOU not to think more of himself than it is necessary to think; but to think so as to have a sound mind, each one as God has distributed to him a measure of faith. Your idea about my status before God is just...
