Jesus is the Messiah. The Messiah is Yahweh himself. For instance, read Isaiah
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upond his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of...
Judaism and Christianity believe in the same God. That's why the Old Testament is included in the Bible. Islam believes in a different "god", who has a completely different character and who demands completely different things from people.
The only thing this article proves is that very ignorant people can easily make a living as journalists. The Bible states very clearly that the Canaanite tribes were NOT destroyed by the Hebrews.
"Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and its villages, or Taanach and its...
Pretend that you are interested in improving the quality of life of other nations. Use this as an excuse for toppling leaders that you dislike, even if they are democratically elected leaders. If you cannot do it yourself, create a proxy army. Steal the oil.
What you people need to change is not the Bible, but your evil hearts. If your hearts weren't full of lust, murder, hatred, adultery, robbery, and incest, you wouldn't feel the need to change the Bible.
God's existence is not only possible, but actually required in order to explain some of the properties of our universe. For instance, the natural laws that dictate the way in which the universe behaves are completely rational and can even be described using mathematics. It could even be said...
There is no supposition and no inference from my part. The verses are clearly teaching that Jesus is Yahweh. The problem is that you refuse to accept it.
Likewise, in Genesis 18 it is very clearly that Abraham was visited by Yahweh and two angels.
"And the Lord (Yahweh) appeared to him by the...
Hell is not simply the destruction of the soul, but eternal torment. See
“And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” (Matthew 25:46)
“and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet...
God the Son is mentioned all over the Scriptures, although perhaps not in the deceitful translations of the Watchtower, the only organization in human history that have dared to tamper with the word of God. I see that you said nothing about the fact that the following verse calls Jesus...
God the Son:
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19)
“And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” (Galatians 4:6)
Jesus is God...
I think that first and foremost we should discuss what does it mean to be a son of God.
"But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God." (John...
There are ways to distinguish between Satan’s deceptions and the genuine work of the Holy Spirit. For instance, the Holy Spirit does not produce fear, nor does it take away your self-control.
“For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” (2...
People were filled with the Holy Spirit not only by the laying on of the hands of the apostles, but also from the laying on of the hands of other disciples. For instance, in this passage:
“So Ananias departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord...
There are people with supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit in different parts of the world today. There were many people with gifts like these in my hometown in South America and also in my wife's hometown in Russia. Even some of my close family members have gifts like these. However, even if...
So, your arguments against the continuation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit can be summarized as follows:
(1) We don't see great miracles today.
(2) The gifts were intended for the benefit of unbelievers and not for the benefit of believers. The apostles did not benefit from miraculous...
