- Q: 1Cor 15:50 clearly testifies that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Wouldn't that fact alone preclude the possibility of Christ's crucified body returning to life? A: First, and foremost; it was essential that Christ's crucified body be returned to life or otherwise his...

- Q: If Jesus Christ's crucified corpse really did return to life; then how did he get it into a room without opening the door? (John 20:19) A: Too many people expect Christianity to be a reasonable, scientific religion. It's not. Christianity is a supernatural religion; for example: Christ...

- Q: Why does the Watch Tower Society refer to the Word in John 1:1 as a god in lower case rather than a god in upper case? A: The Watch Tower Society's doctrine is based upon an imaginary grammatical technicality. The common Greek word for "god" is theós. When it's modified by the little...

- When Jesus revived, he had no clothes to speak of, having lost them to the Romans (Matt 27:35). The shroud is missing from the inventory listed at John 20:23-7 and I think that's because Christ kept it as a temporary garment till he rounded up something suitable. Anyway; the last time Mary...

- †. John 20:24-28 . . Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him: We have seen the Lord! But he said to them: Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into...

- †. 1Cor 15:44 . . It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. Watch as I misquote that passage because the difference, though subtle. Is significant. "It is sown a natural body, it is raised up a spirit body. If there is a...

Were you to ask door-to-door Watchtower Society missionaries if they believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead, I can assure you they would answer in the affirmative. However, what you may not know is that you and they would not be on the same page as the conversation would be talking about...

- The Watch Tower Society says that Christ's crucified body is still dead and its remains are squirreled away somewhere on earth in a condition, and a location, known only to God. Opinion among traditional Christians vary. Some say Christ's crucified body was restored to life normally; viz: in...

- OBJECTION: Friday is definitively the day of Christ's crucifixion because the Sabbath followed immediately. RESPONSE: The identity of that particular sabbath is easily the most common error that people make when attempting to calculate the chronology of the three nights that Christ predicted...

- Christ's last supper was a Passover. †. Luke 22:7-16 . .Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. Jesus sent Peter and John, saying: Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover,. . . .Where do you want us to prepare for it? . . . He...

- Christ limited days to 12 hours, and no more. †. John 11:9 . . Jesus answered: are there not twelve hours in the day? A man who walks by day will not stumble, for he sees by this world's light. "this world's light" is the sun. So according to Christ, day is when the sun is up, and night is...

- The Watch Tower Society's NWT translates a portion of John 4:24 like this: "God is a Spirit" The Watch Tower Society spelled "Spirit" upper case; but not all translators do. For example the NIV, the NAS, and the NASB spell "spirit" lower case. Anyway, the NWT has Christ moving on to say...

- †. John 3:34 . . For he is sent by God. He speaks God's words, for God's spirit is upon him without measure or limit. According to Jesus Christ's God-given message as per John 3:3-8, a physical man is defined as the product of natural human birth. This is far more serious than the typical non...

- Grace is a lethal religion. It quite literally, in some mysterious way that I don't quite understand; put Christ's believing followers to death. †. Rom 6:3 . . Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? †. Rom 6:6 . . Knowing this...

- I picked up an interesting line from an exasperated father in the final episode of Downton Abbey that goes like this: "As my son, I love you, but I have tried, and failed, to like you." The father who spoke that line wasn't a difficult man. He was actually a very decent man who had it up to...

- †. 1Cor 1:3 . . Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. I seriously doubt the average rank and file pew warmer even knows what grace is. I suspect that most are under the impression that grace is somehow a quantifiable substance like butter and gasoline; but in...

- †. Matt 8:23-25 . . And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. And behold, there arose a great storm in the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves; but he himself was asleep. And they came to him, and awoke him, saying: Save us, Lord; we are perishing! The koiné...

- †. Matt 4:10 . .Then Jesus said to him: Go away, Satan! For it is written: It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to Him alone you must render sacred service. Whom to give sacred service might seem like a silly question with an obvious answer; but: What exactly is sacred service...

- A common Greek word translated "worship" in the New Testament is proskuneo (pros-koo-neh'-o) which means, essentially, to kiss like a dog licking its master's hand. It also means to fawn or crouch to; viz: to prostate oneself in homage; i.e, to do reverence and/or to adore. In other words...

- According to the Bible, the wages of sin is death. (Rom 6:23) Let's say somebody tells 50 lies in their lifetime. That's 50 counts of dishonesty; each one punishable by death. In order to satisfy justice for each of those 50 lies, it would be necessary for the liar to undergo death 50 times...
