You say you began to think about the bible and Jesus Christ, but you don't say whether you believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. That is essential. When the jailer at Philippi asked how he could be saved, the apostles replied: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved."” (Ac...

Yes, both "Holy Spirit" and "Holy Ghost" are "Heilige Geest" in Dutch. As far as English is concerned, "Holy Spirit" seems the better translation, because "ghost" in English today means something like a spectre or phantom. Older English translations of the bible tend to use "Holy Ghost," and...

Thanks for explaining.

English as a language is strange isn't it? I read the thread title, and I thought it was to do with people who say things like, "I don't like my brother," and then when the person is converted to Christ, they are caused to love their brother. lfh

So why does it say, "Based on the Good News Bible?" The Good New Bible isn't the same thing as the NIV (New International Version). For instance, the Good New Bible's translation of John 10:1 says: “Jesus said, "I am telling you the truth: the man who does not enter the sheepfold by the...

Why ever should God even give consideration to what would He might experience if He were not God? The only sense oin which He did that is when He came to earth in human flesh as Jesus Christ. We read: “Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the...

So what did Jesus mean when He said: “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."” (Joh 8:58 NKJV) Also, in His prayer to His Father He said: “"And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.” (Joh 17:5 NKJV) How...

That is restricting God to our human ways of thinking. When we concentrate on thinking about ourselves, we cannot think about other people/things, so we can be surprised by them, by the combination of us not thinking about them to start with, and them doing something which we did not expect...

Not according to the bible. When the angel Gabriel visited Mary, she asked him how she could have a son, as she did not "know" a man (the word "know" there referred to having intimate relations with a man). Gabriel replied: “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest...

That's for the obvious reason that the whole bible was not yet written.

Thanks! Yes, that works. I didn't recognise any of the names of the people providing testimonials. Most of them seem to be Roman Catholics, and I'm not, so perhaps that is the reason I don't recognise them. Thanks again.

No I don't watch it. I think you can stream it i here in the UK but as far as I know it isn't on TV here.

I have no way of knowing the validity of A Summa and Encyclopedia to Mary Valtorta's Extraordinary Work, especially because when I clocked on your link to it, this message appeared: HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is...

I believe that the pre-existence was literal in the sense of being real, not that Jesus Christ pre-existed in human form. No, He took on human flesh: “For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God [did] by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on...

True, but Scripture also plainly teaches the pre-existence of Christ: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” (Joh 1:1-3 NKJV) If there...

Sorry but how do you know that "Jesus dictated the following to Maria Valtorta?" We are told in the bible about Judas, about his sin of betrayal, his suicide, the fact that he is the son of perdition.

Yes, that seems to be the same as what I said, that the word doesn't necessarily refer to sin. As your Strong's quote says, it can mean adversity, affliction, bad, calamity, + displease (-ure), distress, evil ([-favouredness], man, thing), + exceedingly, X great, grief (-vous), harm, heavy...

I understand that the word translated "evil" in the KJV there does not necessarily refer to sin. Many translations have "calamity" or "disaster" there. For example, the NKJV says: “I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these [things].’”...

Well, I don't have time to read through a 99-page thread. So maybe somewhere in those hundreds of posts there is one from someone who does worship the bible instead of God. I have never come across anybody who does that.

Is anybody even suggesting that the bible should be worshipped as an idol? I hope not!
