Luke 34-36
For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’
The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”...
You are correct. These particular verses about seeing the Son of man in the clouds are not about Baha'u'llah, they are about Jesus.
That is a valid perspective because the men who wrote Matthew and Mark probably believed that Jesus was coming back to earth.
However, that does not mean that...
a) Romans 14:1-3 is quite clear and doesn't require interpretation: "Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters. One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. The one who eats everything must not treat...
Matthew26:41
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Galatians 4:29
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
Therefore, you believe that Vegans Faith...
My purpose is not to create contention between my Christian brothers regarding certain doctrinal issues. Paul teaches that we should build up one another.
I read 3rd Angel's post of Nov 19, 2022 and I am hoping he will follow what I am about to say regarding that subject. But first I feel it is...
Good point about Jesus being glorified - Rev. 3:21 - because the heavenly Jesus is glorified.
Unlike a novel, the Bible I find is Not written to just be read as one would read a novel.
The Bible is chock full of harmonious corresponding or parallel cross-reference verses and passages.
( such...
I decided to write another interpretation of Acts 1:9-11 since I changed my mind about what I believe the two men dressed in white actually saw going up.
Acts 1:9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. 10 They were looking intently up...
According to you, I have to prove my point, yet you do not have to prove your point. My point is proven with respect to the message of the devil/"enemy" being mixed with the message of the "son of man" in Matthew 13:24-30. The bad fruit of any house/church proves it is on the way to being...
I stand by my statement. It is the humanity of Jesus speaking when He says Thy will, not mine. I do believe the reason for that is that the human mind is subservient to the Spirit of God
Jesus to me, is The Highest Example of Righteousness, for anyone born of a woman. to live a sinless life, to carry out his ministry doing his Father's will instead of his own, to do the right thing and endure all the temptations that life has to offer, to suffer at the hands of Pontius Pilate...
I agree with you :twohearts:, in the past God has used humans to accomplish his will and there are examples of God doing things without the assistance of people, He has used Angels many times. God has made promises for our future. I believe like you do, humans will have a big part in...
Jesus knew what was going to happen to him. It's in the scriptures written before he was on the earth, he could read them. He suffered and died because of maltreatment and false accusations. He could have avoided this. He prayed to his Father the last night he was on earth in his natural human...
You need to explain how you made those 2 days to be 2000 years.
Secondly , let's leave what i said and assume that is correct.What year is it now , 2024 - right? So we need to wait until 2033 , or am i wrong?
Ok , but still even going with this analogy the year is 2033
Well , technically not...
I assume you must belong to a denomination of Protestant because picking apart scripture like this is utterly at odds with Catholic or Orthodox belief.
Catholic believe in tradition, (just as did the Jews before them), and it is only using traditional interpretations that you can fully...

I think people can do good things and be good sometimes, but never be completely good at all times, as Jesus, the Son of God is completely good.
I’m not sure why you included the passage from Matthew, unless you mean to show that because Jesus fell on His face prostrated this somehow shows...
And ‘Good’ is Relative.
But only one is COMPLETELY Good… the one true God.
Jesus was ‘Good’ relative to his brethren … but not in relativity to his Heavenly Father, YHWH GOD: ‘My Father is greater than I’.
As I say, we see what we want to see..
Do you REALLY think that nobody can be "good" except for G-d?
Of course they can ..
36 Then come with them doth Jesus to a place called Gethsemane, and he saith to the disciples, `Sit ye here, till having gone away, I shall pray yonder.'
37 And having...
