There is no evidence to suggest that he was a follower of Jesus. Certainly the other thief wasn't because he said, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!” (Luke 23:39). The man to whom Jesus spoke was a thief who admitted to his crimes, which doesn't sound like a Christian to me...

God had His name plainly written nearly 7,000 times in the Old Testament Scriptures. It was the Israelites who first removed, or hid, virtually all of those occurrences, and our English translations mostly follow their tradition. But the Scriptures given by God don't hide His name. The...

The "woman" referred to in Isaiah 54 is clearly symbolically referring to the nation of Israel, not a literal woman. Verse 7 and the last verse say: (7) “For a small moment I have forsaken you; but I will gather you with great mercies. (Referring to the regathering of the scattered...

You have not explained it! You merely stated your interpretation. That doen't make it the truth, neither does it persuade me to believe you! You've not explained how you connect up the 144,000 Jews to be "sons". The 144,000 Jews, referred to as servants and not sons (Revelation 7:3), are...

God's name is still in the New Testament. In Revelation 19 the word hallelujah appears four times (verses 1, 3, 4 and 6). It's an untranslated Hebrew word, combining the Hebrew words halal, meaning praise, and Yah or Jah, which is a contracted, or abreviated, form of God's personal name. The...

No it's not a bad place. But it's not where Christians go to live after they have been changed to be new creations, having the divine nature. The thief on the cross beside Jesus was not a Christian. The "paradise of God" is not the paradise on the earth where non-Christians, such as the thief...

That's a shame! It's much better to be with Jesus and God in heaven. John 14:2-3 (WEB): (2) In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. (3) If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to...

Even if sin was in the blood (the Bible says that "the life of the flesh is in the blood", Leviticus 17:11) it would not matter, beause the blood of the mother and the blood of the fetus do not come into contact or mix (and the mother and fetus can have different blood groups).

Normal blood has a total of 46 chromosomes. When a child is conceived, 23 chromosomes come from the mother and 23 come from the father. One of these pairs determines the gender. For this pair, the mother always provides an “X” chromosome (so called because its shape somewhat resembles the...

Israel and Satan do not crush Christ's head, and Christ is not full of pride - it was Satan' pride that led to him becoming God's adversary! You've got it backwards - I'll assume it was a careless mistake on your part. Mary does not bring us salvation. Jesus did that. As I've pointed out...

In what way was she first, and where in the Bible does it say that? She certainly wasn't the first saint in the history of mankind, e.g. Psalm 106:16 (WEB): (16) They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, Yahweh’s saint.

Isaiah 54 is obviously not referring to Eve! It is symbolically referring to Zion/Israel, to whom God says, verse 5, "For your Maker is your husband; Yahweh of Armies is his name. The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer. He will be called the God of the whole earth". But even so, all Bible...

Nor does "blessed art thou among women". The Cambridge Bible Notes says of this phrase, "These words are of dubious authenticity, being omitted by B and various versions. They may have been added from Luke 1:42".

The woman referred to in Genesis 3:15 is Eve. It's not a symbolic woman, and it definitely is not referring to God's loyal angels! The next verse also refers to "the woman": (16) To the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bear children. Your...

You're mixing me up with theefaith again! I am not a RC and I don't have RCC beliefs.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough? I wrote "Jesus taught that we should ask God for forgiveness, not to ask Jesus", by which I meant that Jesus taught that we should pray to God, and to ask God for forgiveness for our sins, and that Jesus did not teach us to pray to anybody else but God. I didn't...

I didn't say it was wrong to speak/pray to Jesus. You had written that we should not ask for forgiveness from anybody except Jesus, so I was just pointing out that Jesus taught that we should pray to God, our heavenly Father, to ask for forgiveness.

And yet Jesus taught that we should ask God for forgiveness, not to ask Jesus: Matthew 6:9,12 (KJV): (9) After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. (12) And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. or (ISV): (12) and forgive us our...

Your post sounds like you are sharing the Jehovah's Witnesses' views/beliefs, but I've not heard about angels producing Jesus before. That doesn't sound at all Biblical! The Bible tells that Jesus was/is God's only begotten son, e.g. 1 John 4:9 - In this was manifested the love of God toward...

That's true, even if you don't believe in the Trinity. "But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" - Luke 5:24 (WEB). Who gave the Son of Man (Jesus) that authority? God, of course.
