God had sex with a betrothed girl? Wouldn't that make Him not just a fornicator; but also an adulterer? because Jesus' mom was engaged to Joseph. In that culture, an engaged woman was considered a married woman. In the passage below: note that Joseph is clearly labeled "her husband" †. Matt...

. A pardoned sinner is still a sinner and they'll go right on sinning same as before they were pardoned because human nature is intrinsically bad. †. Gen 6:5 . .Yhvh saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all...

Non-material beings producing children with material beings? I don't think so. That would be about as likely to succeed as a horse rancher attempting to get one of his mares pregnant by blowing air into her uterus with a tire pump. (chuckle) Somebody needs to take a few of these armchair...

I don't think the garments of Rev 16:15 are the white garments of Rev 3:5 and Rev 3:18. The clothing depicted at Rev 16:15 is one's own clothing rather than the Lord's. The picture is of a man robbed of his wardrobe by a burglar for lack of vigilance; which is, I gather, the meaning of...

. †. Rev 3:18 . . I advise you to buy from me . . . white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be exposed. That's an interesting statement. The garments aren't for concealing one's nakedness; but for concealing one's shame. †. Gen 2:25 . . .The...

. Besides sons of God and sons of men, there are also sons of Belial and sons of the prophets. Apparently "belial" isn't a proper name, but simply means good for nothing; viz: "sons of Belial" is a colloquialism for riffraff. For example: bums, loafers, thugs, punks, delinquents...

. †. Gen 6:1-2 . . Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were goodly; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. The precise identity of the "sons of God" has been...

There's a high probability you're right. At one time, the four rivers depicted at Gen 2:10-14 forked off the Eden River and supplied water to an immense geographic area comprised of parts of Turkey, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Nubia, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, Palestine, Jordan, Syria...

The discovery of fossilized sea lilies near the summit of Mt Everest proves that the Himalayan land mass has not always been mountainous; but at one time was the floor of an ancient sea bed. This is confirmed by the "yellow band" just below Everest's summit consisting of limestone: a type of...

. There are two hells revealed in the New Testament-- one is called haides (e.g. Luke 16:23) and one is called geena (e.g. Luke 12:5). Both hells are penal colonies where people do, and will, exist in conscious afterlife suffering in flame, anxiety, and perpetual dehydration. Geena (gheh'...

. †. Gen 6:4 . .There were giants in the earth in those days The Hebrew word for "giants" in that passage is nephiyl (nef-eel') and/or nephil (nef-eel') and I have no clue why the KJV's scholars translated it giants because it doesn't mean that at all. For one thing; it's an ambiguous word with...

Easy/Peasy. Talk to the man. †. Matt 11:27 . . Come to me †. John 4:10 . . If you only knew the gift God has for you and who I am, you would ask me, and I would give you living water. †. John 5:39-40 . . Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they...

. Below is one of the scariest passages in the Bible. †. 2Ths 2:11-12 . . And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. In other words; there's coming a...

Maybe the water of the word as per Eph 5:25-27 works for you as the water of John 3:5 but it doesn't work for me. I prefer the water of John 4:10-14 and Rev 22:17; specifically because living water (a.k.a. the water of life) is for drinking while the water of the word is for washing. People as a...

. †. John 3:5 . . I tell you the truth: no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and The Spirit. It's commonly assumed that the water about which Christ spoke in that statement pertains to ritual baptism. There's no excuse for a mistake of that magnitude when the Lord...

. †. 2Tim 2:15 . . Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. It's amazing the number of Christians who get hung up on the word "dividing" assuming it means to keep the Old Testament separate from the New; but...

. Well; if I read Luke 17:20-37 aright; Jesus went on from vs 21 to say that there'll be no kingdom on earth until he gets back. That's corroborated by Acts 1:6-7 where Christ instructed his disciples that the date of the kingdom is both future and classified; viz: top secret. People have used...

. Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall, stealing through the dark of night. Climbing through a window, stepping to the floor checking to the left and the right. Picking up the pieces, putting them away; something doesn't feel quite right. Help me someone, let me out of here. Then...

That's interesting. So you're saying, in so many words, that Jesus had to be told what to say because he was too stupid to think for himself. Well; that was actually true of Solomon. †. 1Kgs 3:7-12 . . Now, O Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am...

. †. 1Cor 9:27 . . But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. The koiné Greek word for "castaway" in that verse doesn't mean discarding someone as so much rubbish into an incinerator. It simply...
