Remember that in this topic the supposed luminaries of Christianity are being mentioned, people who supposedly have more biblical information to study and share ... There are thousands of people who read their articles, listened to their lectures and admired them as their religious teachers and...

Don't you wonder if those powerful works that those individuals directed and/or witnessed in their churches were real? How can you witness supposed powers that go beyond the human, and still lose faith? It was all false on the part of those men; from their faith, to their religious services and...

The Bible clearly shows that when the four names of Jesus' brothers are mentioned, it is referring to the children of Mary who accompanied her, NOT the followers of Jesus. Matthew 12:46 While he was yet speaking to the crowds, his mother and brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to...

Mary, the mother of Jesus, had other sons and daughters. Mary, the wife of Clopas/Cleophas/Alphaeus, another woman, had a son named James (the Less), and another one named Joses. The Bible does not say that these men were related to Jesus. James the Less, the son of Clopas and the other Mary...

Just as several Marys are mentioned in the Greek Scriptures (NT), so are several James mentioned. Three of them are: 1) A James who was a follower and apostle of Jesus. This James was Jesus' cousin because he was the son of a sister of Mary named Salome, brother of the apostle John, writer of...

The apostle John does distinguish between the three Marys, besides Mary the mother of Jesus. 1) Mary the sister of Lazarus John 11:1 Now a man named Lazarus was sick; he was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 This was the Mary who poured perfumed oil on the Lord and...

Another interesting detail is that Jesus told his disciples not to leave Jerusalem so that they would receive the holy spirit from above... the detail is that he had to ask the Father for it, receive it from him, and then send it to his disciples, which he did when he anointed them in Jerusalem...

1 Pet. 1:3 Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for according to his great mercy he gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance. It is reserved in the heavens for you...

God bless you :cool:

You are not my judge ... Don't tell me how I will be judge or based on what. Take care of yourself. Have a good one. :)

Do you think that these people that Jesus is talking about here were not convinced within themselves that they were born again? :Oh no: Luke 13:24 “Exert yourselves vigorously to get in through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will seek to get in but will not be able. 25 When the...

Yes. And some people don't even know who is the Father of those born again Christians ... Some think it has to do with Jesus, but it doesn't. As long as people don't know what really is to be born again, all they say is just imagination. Anyone can say I am born again. Words are just words.

I have the same God Jesus has, do you? 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.’” Rev. 3:12 The one who conquers—I will make him...

Eze. 18:4 Look! All the souls—to me they belong. As the soul of the father so likewise the soul of the son—to me they belong. The soul that is sinning—it itself will die.

No how do you know; that was not my question ... you can imagine whatever you want and that won't change the reality (Matt. 7:21-23). Tell me something: do you think that in order to be a real Christian in the first century, the apostles of Jesus were needed for something, or could each one be...

Ok, then. Now tell me: how do I know that you really are "spirit baptized" and that is not just your own imaginary status? :contemplate: Mmmh, I think you didn't read the text I quoted in its Biblical context: John 13:3 So Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands and...

So why are you discouraging others from being baptized in water like Jesus did? By saying that water baptism is not necessary, you are trying to nullify the example of Jesus for others who want to imitate him. John 13:15 For I set the pattern for you, that just as I did to you, you should also do.

I see you don't follow Jesus' example.

The Bible says that immortality is a prize to the brothers of Christ. 1 Cor. 15:53 For this which is corruptible must put on incorruption, and this which is mortal must put on immortality. 54 But when this which is corruptible puts on incorruption and this which is mortal puts on immortality...

The idea of "one baptism" (supposedly baptism "in spirit") is obviously an attack on organized religious communities. Anyone could say that they have been spirit baptized and born again... but no one would have proof of that. However, it is clear that first-century Christians had to be baptized...
