Now you’re thinking the right way. Jesus did say that He was going to raise His own body from the dead. Remember what He said in:-
John 2:19-22 (KJV)
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years...
The observations I have made is that everyone is coming up with vague innuendos about why God’s name is not mentioned as it should. There are parts of the name as Hallelujah etc. But the question originally is that if Christ came to make His Father’s name known, then why is that name not...
Here is a reply to another debater. Instead of writing it all again, you may find some aspects of this reply valid to your argument. Much of what you are saying is true. Keep up the good work.
Jesus talked about the name of His Father, but did not directly mention what that name was. It is...
It has been said, and I believe it to be true, that man has a god shaped void in his soul that can only be filled with God. It has also been said that man is irresistibly religious, even if there is only one adherent. Without doubt, every human being on the face of the planet, at some time in...
There are those who propose that they are the witnesses for Jehovah God and only they are in the process of restoring His name to its’ rightful place. I find it interesting that the name Jehovah is mentioned some 1,500 times in the Old Testament but zero times in the New Testament. It has never...
You said:-
4) He could only do what the Father in Heaven told Him to do. (v19)
God tells us to do the same. We're just not as good at it as Jesus!
My reply
You seem to have lost the thread of the discussion?? The question is about the interpretation and the use of the Greek word isos and...
Jesus said John 14:6 (KJV)
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
So you don’t like any religion who says, ‘my way is the highway,’ the question should be asked, ‘by what authority does He claim this?’ Well briefly, Jesus Christ...
I am endeavouring to understand what you are saying? Are you trying to disprove the Trinity by attempting to reinterpret one use of a word in one Scripture in the Bible? That argument would hardly succeed. The Trinity is taught right throughout the Bible.
You said:-
First of all, if God wanted...
Doesn’t science rely on observation and testing and retesting to understand what is true? In the theory of evolution, who was around 13.8 billion years ago to see the Big Bang happen? So the theory of the Big Bang is not science. If the whole universe came from one source, how is it then that...
Please bear with me for a moment. I am a creationist because I am a Christian. It is not a matter of reading evolutionists books, but it is a matter of whether you accept the Bible as God’s inerrant word or not. People cannot stand in both camps at the same time because the two views contradict...
It all depends on what you mean by knowing God? If you mean that man can know God in His entirety, then he cannot do that. That is because man is finite and God is infinite. God made mankind to have fellowship with Himself and to enjoy Him forever. The whole of the Bible is about God dealing...
From my observations of what you have said, my advice is that we have to let God be God, and allow Him to draw up the standards of what is right and what is wrong. Without God, we are just poking around in the dark. If we, as human beings, try to make all the rules, of which there are thousands...
I have read the Bible through from cover to cover, once per year since 1983, bar two years when I read devotions instead. I am still learning something new about the Bible every time I read it and it was the years that I didn’t read the Bible through where I went backwards spiritually. My advice...
Let me give you this Scripture:-
Deuteronomy 8:2-3 (KJV)
2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
3 And he...
Your question tells me that you are not really finished with God yet? It is always a good idea to understand and take in an overall picture of the Bible and what it is all about, before being hung up on some particular or a binding question. The Bible right from Genesis to Revelation has to do...
I think that is wishful thinking to think that the war to end all wars is not going to happen. We must not forget the sin question. Man is just as sinful and riddled with imperfection as he has always been. Right from the beginning of creation, man has been killing each other over any issue...
