It's certainly no secret that according to Orthodox Christian doctrine, Jesus is God. That brings up an interesting question, one that I've not been able to sort out. Paul and Peter said multiple times that Jesus had a God and Jesus himself said the same thing. John 20:17, Jesus saith unto...

I'm surprised there is not a general groundswell of protest by all woman against drag queens who's behavior makes a mockery out of actual womanhood. At least the black community has the pride and gumption to condemn black face performances. What's wrong with the women of this culture? Why do so...

"It (the doctrine of the trinity) makes three affirmations: that there is but one God, that the Father and the Son and the Spirit is each God, and that the Father, the Son, and the Spirit is each a distinct person...Though it is not a Biblical doctrine in the sense that any formulation of it can...

2 Tim 3:5, Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. Clearly the folks Paul is talking about are not actually godly at all. Note verses 1-4 make that clear. However it is equally clear they have a "form" of godliness. Apparently someone being in the "form"...

Why can we dis Jesus but not the Holy Ghost? Matt 12:32, And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the [world] to come. Aren't they both...

There are two different camps in Christendom when it comes to where the events of Pentecost transpired. Some say the upper room and others the temple. The fact is, there is no verse that explicitly says it took place in either one. Acts 2:1, And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they...

It may come as somewhat of a surprise to most Christians to learn that the scriptures calls tongues a manifestation. In every English and Greek version of the scriptures that I know of, tongues is unambiguously called a manifestation. A manifestation is not the same thing as a gift. Regardless...

John 17:1-3, 1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3 And this is...

It is said that one must believe in the trinity to get born again. Here are a few verses that tell us how to get saved: Acts 2:38, Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the...

As a believer in the true oneness of God, thereby denying the trinity, I'm called many rather unsavory names. Perhaps "rank heretic" is most common. So who is Jesus to a "rank heretic?" In Genesis he is the promised seed of the woman. In Exodus he is the Passover lamb. In Leviticus he is the...

Sorry for causing any bad feelings. I should have been more charitable. I can do that if I choose (I really am born again :)), but I chose to cause contention instead. So I ended up learning a lot from these threads. Forgive me my indiscretion. I'm comforted that Jesus, sitting at the right had...

Strong's Concordance definition of Apostle: G652 ἀπόστολος apostolos (a-po'-sto-los) n. 1. a delegate. 2. (specially) an ambassador of the Gospel. 3. (officially) a commissioner of Christ, “apostle” (with miraculous powers). Paul said many times that he was an apostle sent by God. 1 Cor 1:1...

There are many who object to DeSantis' bill that prohibits teaching sexuality to K through 3rd grade children. Many folks think the children should be taught sexuality. I wonder how many of these same folks would think it equally OK to teach the Bible to those same kids, especially in light of...

Those who don't believe Jesus is God usually hear something like, "Are you saying Jesus was a mere man?" First of all, there really is no such thing as a "mere" man. Ps 8:4-5, 4 what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him? 5 You made him a little lower...

Here is what Paul said about getting born again: Rom 10:9, That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Here is what the Athanasian Creed says about getting born again (I only quoted...
