    If a person claiming to be Christ comes today, how do you know it is really *not* him?

    Baha'u'llah never claimed to be Jesus Christ. Baha'u'llah did not come in the name of Jesus, He came with a new name. The Bible says Christ (not Jesus) would return with a new name, so we know he would not be called Jesus. Isaiah 62:2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    I think the promise Jesus made to come again and receive His followers to Himself was not only for the disciples He spoke to at that time, but to all believers since then. That is why we have the Bible, God’s Word preserved through the centuries. According to the scriptures, when Jesus comes to...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    Jesus was going to heaven to prepare a place for His disciples. How could Jesus come back to earth and take His disciples to heaven now? His disciples are no longer on earth. John 14:2-3 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place...

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

    No I did account for it. I wont answer the same question a second time. It's a waste of my time.

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    no more nothing further. "there was no more to be said about it" no further. "you must have some soup, but no more wine" exist no longer. "the patch of ground was overgrown and the hut was no more" never again. "mention his name no more to me" neither. "I had no complaints and no more did Tom"...

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

    I am sorry, you still have not accounted for the verses where Jesus says that His work is finished here and He will be no more in this world Yes, it is very straightforward that Jesus finished His work in this world and that Jesus will be no more in this world. John 14:19 Yet a little while...

    Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. My point was...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    This is the one of the three that is applies to a new Revelation today in my view, the others may not. This is in the Old Testament, so it can apply to followers of Christ. This doesn't necessarily mean that the name applies to a new revelation, The person has a new name. I think of this...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    That's too bad, because you don't need to believe the Bible is accurate in order to believe in God. But Jesus never said He would will return in his glory to judge people as per Revelation and Matthew. The problem is that the verses that Christians believe are about Jesus are not about Jesus...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    Well, your claim was that not one Christian can produce any verses where Jesus says He is coming back to earth and whatever explanation we can think ourselves, the fact remains that in this verse, Jesus said to his disciples that he will come back. Incidentally, this was not the first time he...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    Jesus was going to heaven to prepare a place for His disciples. How could Jesus come back to earth and take His disciples to heaven AFTER His disciples were no longer on earth? John 14:2-3 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    I think those means, the people will have new names. Sorry, I don't think so, for example because: who also said, Men, Galileans, why do you stand looking up to the heaven? This Jesus, the One being taken from you into the heaven, will come in the way you saw Him going into the heaven. Acts...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    Jesus gave that warning because He knew that many men would come claiming to be the return of Christ, and that is exactly what has happened. Jesus knew that He was never returning to earth so anyone claiming to be Him would be a liar and a deceiver, or simply deluded. The Bible says Christ...

    A friendly debate regarding the merits of Christianity v that of Judaism in regards to salvation. (Anthony H Miller and Harel13).

    One great issue Judaism seems to have with Christian theology is the concept of the trinity. I like to take the Apostle Paul's advice from 1 Corinthians 11:3; "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity...

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

    There is no point for you to write the whole story from Acts here. I have read it a few times. The people in Asia who abandoned Paul were of course Christians because deserting him implies that they were once loyal and friendly to him and had some kind of relationship with Paul. Therefore this...

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

    1. The apostle "Luke" tells us in the book of Acts (Luke wrote Acts), that Paul was rejected by the local town silver smith rustling up a riot to attempt to support his business in making idols for worship of pagan Gods (specifically Artemis) then later by the local Jews during his second visit...

    One God or many gods

    The Apocryphal books simply exclude themselves for being out of harmony with the harmonious 66 Bible books. In Scripture there is only one Archangel aka Michael - 1st Thess. 4:16 ; Daniel 12:1 I find the seven are the 'eyes' of God at Zech. 4:10 and what the eyes mean -> Revelation 5:6 B and...

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

    Because the rest of the text does not change the fact that He "congratulated" those who "have tested those who call themselves apostles but are not, and found them to be false". Ephesians had sinned on another matter which was abandonment of love they had at first.

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

    Why. did you only quote a small part of Revelation 2 regarding the church in Ephesus in your reference back to "fake apostle" Paul? I will address that error first before even getting into what you have talked about above because your reference post is errant and cannot be used as supporting...

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

    We know that Paul spent 3 years in Ephesus and when he departed, he left Timothy to govern the church there. We also know from Paul's own testimony to Timothy, that people in Asia and Ephesus turned away from him and believed that he was a liar and a false apostle. 1 Tim 2:7 " For this I was...
