    “The Son is equal to his Father”

    Nono , that is false. How on Earth are you going to explain Greek to me? ὁράω • (horáō) first-singular present indicative (intransitive) to look with the eyes + εἰς (accusative) = at something or someone

    “The Son is equal to his Father”

    I see that you mean a person would literally see God. In the Greek "see" can carry the sense of to 'see with the mind's eye'. To understand, to know, to perceive. Pure in heart, the eyes of the heart, The 'eyes of your understanding' as per Ephesians 1:18. Sometimes in English we might say we...

    Denial by non-Muslims of the Qur'an's commands to commit violence.

    I think we talked about words in previous discussion, do we need to talk about it again? Sword Revelation 19:15 "Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter."He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God...

    Why Saint Paul might have had an unhealthy soul

    OK, that's one opinion, but because it's that it doesn't make this the reality. Again, to return to an important question, namely if Paul was some sort of freaky charlatan, why would the Apostles and their disciples have anything to do with him? And just a reminder that his letters were in...

    Why Saint Paul might have had an unhealthy soul

    This is what I found. The opinion of an expert. St. Paul lived during the first century CE. It has been speculated that his religious experiences resulted from temporal lobe epilepsy.43 We would argue that it is not necessary to invoke epilepsy as an explanation for these experiences. St...

    Has Anyone ever Seen God?

    this is a recent article from Jw.org i'd like to share. The Watchtower, being a bible based organisation, uses the bible to answer the question Has Anyone Ever Seen God? The Bible’s answer No human has literally seen God. (Exodus 33:20; John 1:18; 1 John 4:12) The Bible says that “God is a...

    Thomas did not receive the Holy Spirit

    Wow… As I understand what you are saying is that the spirit is one but the amount you receive is different did each person. Is that right? The wine from the bottle is ONE WINE concoction but the AMOUNT of the wine depends on the volume of the container it is poured into. Right? The bigger the...

    Thomas did not receive the Holy Spirit

    No. That passage is talking about the gifts of the Spirit. Everyone has the same Spirit. How that is realized in each individual is a matter of individuality and personal growth. It doesn't mean you only have 1/16 of the Spirit until you are more mature, and then you have 1/2 of the Spirit, and...

    Just Believe

    He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him...

    Just Believe

    Yes, before Abraham - see Genesis 1:26 because Jesus is part of the US that his God is speaking to Jesus. Yes, Jesus is Mighty God but Not addressed as Almighty God. God and Lord are titles. Jesus is Not the KJV LORD of Psalms 110 but the second Lord in lower-case letters. Yes, Jesus was "in"...

    Born From Above

    And eyes are opened: "He has enlightened the eyes of your heart, so that you may know to what hope he called you, what glorious riches he holds as an inheritance for the holy ones,  and how surpassing the greatness of his power is toward us believers. It is according to the operation of the...

    What Did Jesus Actually Do?

    That is a little bit short selling.... And on the 3rd day, God raised him from the dead and now seated at the right hand of God in heaven. Ephesians 1:18-21 New International Version (NIV) I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has...

    Peace & Security or Sudden Destruction?

    Indeed, the righteous are in fact more humble but it is the self-righteous who grab the platform with the Pharisee. It will be as Jesus said: "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others...

    2 Corinthians 4:4, satan is the g- d of this world, jesus is what again?

    Jesus is the express image of God. (Hebrews 1:3) If you take a seal and press it into the wax then that is how Jesus is to God. God is like the signet and Jesus the wax. The exact impression of God's image. This is why Jesus is God manifest. But He is only manifest to those who have eyes to see...

    Experiencing God

    According to the witness of the New Testament itself, "No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us." (1 John 4:12), he dwells "in light unapproachable; whom no man hath seen, nor can see" (1 Timothy 6:16) and we are moreover told how...

    Where Christianity and Buddhism Agree?

    (1) All four of our canonical gospels and the extra-canonical Gospel of Thomas (which I'm only mentioning for corroborative, rather than authoritative, purposes because I regard it as heterodox text - albeit a useful one for understanding early Christian wisdom traditions) contend that one of...

    Where Christianity and Buddhism Agree?

    An excellent topic for a comparative discussion @sayak83 and @Buddha Dharma. Before I identify cognates or disparities with the Buddha's Middle Length discourse sayak, I thought it would be worth my while to firstly provide a summary of the "kingdom of God" concept in the New Testament and in...

    Question for the Evangelical Community

    1 Corinthians 15:7-8; Acts 22:6-16 are verses where the Lord "Jesus appeared" to his apostles. Saul heard the voice of the Lord while James and the apostles saw Jesus after God raised Jesus from the dead. I don't understand why you quoted these verses as these are irrelevant to your topic -...

    Why is it *necessary* to believe (as a Christian) that the Bible has no errors?

    You have God visiting Abraham and eating with him as well. What you must not realize, based on other scriptures, is why this necessitates a trinitarian understanding of God's nature - because it is the only thing consistent with all of scripture. We also know from scripture that no one has...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    Either the Watchtower is wrong in that Jesus was exalted as king in 1914, or the Bible is wrong in Ephesians 1. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19...
