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

    None of those verses say that Jesus is going to return to this earth. I can find similar verses where Baha'u'llah says that he is the one appointed by God to be judge.

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

    It's obviously Jesus. Ephesians 1 "... [God] worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places..." Acts 3 19 Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, 20 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of...

    God is not a man

    Muffled, the Spirit of God dwells in those who truly believe in Him. It is His SPIRIT that dwells in such ones - not GOD Himself! God does not dwell in earthly bodies. But His SPIRIT can do so - which is how it came to dwell in Jesus Christ at his baptism at the river Jordan, and in the...

    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...

    The Question Islam and Christianity Can't Answer

    Yes, you can find scripture that will support your belief yet the interpretation may be wrong... For an example: Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and...

    The Question Islam and Christianity Can't Answer

    It is not what I believe. https://www.openbible.info/topics/foreknowledge Jeremiah 1:5 ESV “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” Romans 8:29-30 ESV For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to...

    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...

    What is God's highest priority?

    God allows an 'operation of error', so to speak, so if a person wants to believe a lie, loves lies, then God does Not interfere with that person's wrong ideas or belief such as Jesus had a physical body resurrection - 1st Cor. 15:50 . Also, I find such professing ones won't accept that Jesus...

    WHO IS GOD'S TRUE ISRAEL IN THE NEW COVENANT?

    This is blasphemy of the most high via spaghetti on the wall fallacy. "God's new covenant" you say. Which God are you referring to .. "Ha Satan" ? chief God on Earth .. this "New Covenant" .. and what about the Old Covenants .. have you rejected these Gods ? "All those who...

    WHO IS GOD'S TRUE ISRAEL IN THE NEW COVENANT?

    GOD'S ISRAEL IN THE NEW COVENANT ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES ARE NOW ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND OBEY GOD'S WORD! According to the scriptures, the name "Israel" is only a name given by God to all those who choose to have faith in His Word. In the new covenant scriptures, I would like to pose that...

    I believe I make perfect sense but your nonsense seems to have no end.

    What is God's highest priority?

    By saying this! It means you do not know why Jesus came to save mankind! And The absolute necessity to be Born Again. The entire and only purpose Jesus declared in John 14:6 (TO ALL GENERATIONS) was to declare that (ALL MANKIND) need salvation. And that the purpose for Jesus dying for...

    What is God's highest priority?

    Trailblazer said: "Moses and Jesus were Messengers of God but I don't believe that God is communicating through Moses or Jesus anymore. The Mosaic and Christian dispensations are over, long since gone." So let's go back to what you said at the beginning of this discussion. You said...

    Why So Much Trinity Bashing?

    Jesus never promised to return to earth, not once in the New Testament. Jesus said His work was finished here and He was no more in the world. That means that the return of Christ has to be another Person. John 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I...
