    Bible contradictions

    I'm sure there was some proto-trinitarianism in the mix, but there would have been a diversity of beliefs in the early Church that isn't reflected in the modern Catholic Church. I mean, most things that are considered "heresies" now were just part of the spectrum of Christian belief until...

    Bible contradictions

    About the early Catholic Church. Have you read 1 Clement, written in 95 AD? Pretty clear to me the Bishop of Rome telling the church in Corinth, and repeating standard Catholic belief after Catholic belief, shows that the early Catholic Church existed. The earliest creed is found in Paul 1...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    Do you explain things perfectly clearly? I doubt it. The Bible is spiritual literature. While believers may understand spiritual truths from it, that is altogether different from being able to communicate those spiritual truths to others, especially those people who haven't received the Holy...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    According to the Bible, the Holy Spirit indwells the followers of Jesus (Ephesians 1:13-14; 4:30), not only confirming to them that they belong to God and are saved (Romans 8:15-17; 10:9-13; 1 Corinthians 12:13), but also giving them spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:11) and spiritual...

    For trinity believers: Does your world come unravelled if Jesus is not God,but ONLY Gods Son?

    If a person doesn’t have the Holy Spirit they aren’t born again and are not His, still lost in your sins and the wrath of God still on that person. That’s why you have to be born again. ”You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who...

    Why do some Atheists say Christianity is harmful?

    Think again. You need to have your beliefs gel with reality. If you want to say, "Well my sacred text says that the moon is made of cheese" you can do that, of course, but no one will respect you because of course the evidence says otherwise.

    Why do some Atheists say Christianity is harmful?

    Yes, there are some Christians who believe salvation can be lost. But I think that is contrary to the scriptures. Ephesians 1:13-14 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of...

    What do you believe about the Holy Spirit?

    Hello Ismaila, Through the power of the Holy Spirit, believers are saved, filled, sealed, and sanctified. The Holy Spirit reveals God’s thoughts, teaches, and guides believers into all truth, including knowledge of what is to come. The Holy Spirit also helps Christians in their weakness and...

    Gen 2:24 - The Mystery of a Love Letter

    If I follow, then 'yes' born again and Pentecost can be different in that first to be born again, or even be a Christian for that matter, one must first be baptised. Born again to be chosen as a saint/ holy one - Daniel 7:18,27; Luke 22:28-30; Revelation 20:6; 5:9-10; 2:10. No un-baptised...

    Gen 2:24 - The Mystery of a Love Letter

    I agree with you as far as purpose of Pentecost and beyond. Although I could have said it better and not just making the statement as "marriage". But I do see it as more than just that. To explain on how I view it.. Being "born-again" - is being born of the Spirit (John 3 - you must be born...

    Frightened of Jesus

    I believe it does misrepresent Jesus. On the one hand it's saying it's not by works we are saved but then the video suggests works are needed. It's by grace through faith in Christ Jesus that we are saved(see Ephesians 2:8-9). Reading through Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Jesus was welcoming to...

    I need Jehovah's Witnesses feed back.Because I always think I am interpreting it right.But am wrong.

    Where in scripture is that told to you? that Heb 3:1 is about the 144000? How did the lost sheep of Israel turn into 144000? How do you know that the small flock of Luke 12:32 is the 144000? Why is the 144000 being added to now when they are clearly not the first fruits? How do you know...

    I need Jehovah's Witnesses feed back.Because I always think I am interpreting it right.But am wrong.

    Jesus' apostles... through the scriptures. No. It's the teaching of the apostles of Christ in scriptures, which JWs in turn, teach. It's not a supposition. The scriptures are clear. Jesus came to gather the lost sheep of Israel. The first to be gathered are the firstfruits to God, and the...

    Why I go after Religious bigotry (+ DIR question)!

    Jehovah's witnesses are a tiny group with an extremely depressing message, a message that makes God look terrible, and unbiblical solascriptura Doctrine, using an outdated ancient text as the Only rule of faith, when the Bible doesn't say anywhere to do that, using a text that is full of hatred...

    Why I go after Religious bigotry (+ DIR question)!

    Part of God's condemnation of the wicked is his word. That is also part of the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth of the wicked ones who are fake Christians. "And locusts came out of the smoke onto the earth, and authority was given to them, the same authority that the scorpions of the...

    Paul - An Apostle?

    “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it” (Matthew 13:45-46). The message of the kingdom of heaven is a genuine offer from God to rule in the hearts of those who...

    Paul - An Apostle?

    No, God did. Psalms 2 ; Daniel 2:44 ; Daniel 7:13, 14, 18, 27 ; Luke 1:32, 33 ; Luke 12:32; Luke 22:28-30 Jesus declared the good news about God's kingdom. Isaiah 61:1-3 ; Matthew 4:17, 23 I reccomend you get familiar with the places in the Bible, where the kingdom is spoken of. Drawn near is...

    What Is Biblical Faith?

    Some doubt that God exists. Isaiah said "faith comes by hearing God and believing what He said." So, if the doubters hear God (and know that it is God), and believe God, that should prove that God exists. Hearing God proves that God exists. Can we be certain that it was God that we heard...
