Yeshua and John the Baptist appeared the first time as witnesses (Rev 11:3) who will witness for 3 1/2 year (1260 days), to either restore the hearts of the fathers to their children or smite the land with a curse (Malachi4:6). Apparently, the latter circumstance won out. Subsequently, he was...
So, it happened twice? Once for Jesus, and once for Baha'u'llah. I heard a Baha'i claim that a forerunner comes for all manifestations. Is that an official teaching of the Baha'i Faith?
What does this verse mean to you?
“To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things." Matthew 17
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes." Malachi4:5
when this was to happen?
I don't believe that. Why would I? The argument for resurrection is that some people say that some other people saw Jesus when he was supposedly dead, and that when a rock was rolled away, there was no body to be seen. There would need to be a suspension f the laws of nature to revivify a body...
According to you, the Jews, should like their brethren, Israel, eat the flesh and blood of an innocent man, instead of killing innocent children, as did Israel, all while sacrificing to their "Lord", which is a translation of Baal/Bel, and is done by modern women, who on cue, eat the body and...
As a Buddhist, I can share with you some perspectives on the concept of reincarnation. It is important to note that proving reincarnation is a deeply personal and subjective experience, and it may not be possible to provide concrete scientific evidence for it. However, Buddhism offers insights...
I think better translation is, "born anew". It does not mean one is incarnated, born into a new body.
“Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom. That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit...
Reincarnation arose in northern India between the years 1000 and 600 BC, just at the same time that prophet David and his descendants ruled Israel up until the fall of Jerusalem. The first reference to reincarnation idea is at least 2,600 years old. It appears in the sacred scriptures of...
Hi @InChrist . Good points you posted. I will address...
I disagree of course. :)
The above verse is almost always misinterpreted with a bias towards making it sound like everyone 'has to die' and that it is 'only one time'.
Remember, there is a Second Death as well...

I think there is plenty in the biblical scriptures which refute reincarnation…
“The concept of reincarnation, in any of its forms, is completely without foundation in the Bible. The truth is that we die once and then face judgment (Hebrews 9:27). The Bible never even remotely suggests that...
Oh, okay. I see.
...but you used sixteen (16) words which are not scripture. ;) Yes or No, is only one (1) word.
Do you want me to guess that you are saying that David represents Christ?
Okay. If that's what you are saying...
(Jeremiah 23:5, 6) 5 “Look! The days are coming,” declares Jehovah...
We go threw strange roads in life.
The reason i am so consistent on answering because i feel that i am in the same position.
I am very good to find specific reasons of something so komplex.I am better then 99 % of people in pattern.I was tested , i know what i am speaking of.
I understand you...
Hi dybmh. Good afternoon. You said in response to my challenge to you to give me a scripture that says we are to substitute the Name:
That simply is not true.
Let's read Exodus 20:7, it reads:
"7 You shall not make wrong use of the Name of Yahweh your Elohim; for Yahweh will not leave...
The secret of Women : The gifts God gives, singing to God.
Part 27:B B
It is good we have made such an advancement in deep scripture of the holy bible, women have so much in the bible they do not know but all for a purpose he wants for them and as aid to them in this world of peril.
And are...
For those who do not know, I'm a member of the Assemblies of Yahweh (Bethel PA) and what got me thinking about this subject was a conversation I was having on another thread about the Name Yahweh. In my faith we firmly believe in not substituting the Name, but restoring it to it's rightful...
Hi Patrick66. Good afternoon. I should warn you now that that's not the way to do a Bible study. You cannot come up with your own preconceived ideas and then look in the Bible hoping to find a scripture here and there which supports your view. We must use the inductive method, not the deductive...
Different Jews will give you different answers. Some Jews believe in no afterlife at all-- you may be curious to know that the Torah never mentions an afterlife. But I'll try to sum up some of the ideas that float around.
Sheol: the abode of the dead, the netherworld. There is no punishment...
Saying an angel has wings is really a figure of speech implying that by some method it is able to ascend. It (Jewish scripture) says the sun has rays and no wings: Malachi4:2.
Angels do not really have or need wings, at least not in Genesis. The wings of Zoroastrian religion are not related...
So what does Malachi mean when it claims (supposedly many centuries later) that Elijah will return? First of all a true prophet will appear. Secondly that prophet will bring unity. Malachi is primarily a protest against corrupt leadership which appears after the return from Babylon. It is a...
I believe you are in error. Re-incarnation is not disallowed by the NT and the passage about John the Baptist being Elijah is proof since even John could tell he didn't have the body of Elijah.
