The reason there are so many differing belief systems that oppose each other is not from God, though he allows it. They are from Satan, "the god of this world" that is deceiving the whole world. 2 Cor. 4:4; Rev. 12:9 Jesus even foretold that weeds would be sown among the "wheat" and grow...
Revelation 13:8 English Standard Version (ESV)
8 and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain.
This is speaking of the beast which has been given its power by the dragon...
Yes. I have read it more than once. I have been setting goals for myself the past few years of reading it in various ways. Last May, for example, I completed reading the Bible in less than one year. Prior to that, I read the Bible in chronological order. Now, I have the goal of reading the...
Many folks do not understand what the original Greek word for the phrases "dwell in" or "live in" or "abide in" on "continue in" or "remain in" mean. The Greek word "MENO" [the o has a long sound], is translated into several English words or phrases in the KJV. "Meno" is translated into the...
Robert - Thank you for your question. The original language word for "spirit" is actually used in a few different ways in the Bible. For example, God, the angels and Jesus are called spirits, meaning they are not physical beings, they are spirit beings. Another example is that the word...
I'm not sure I totally understand your post; but, if it has to do with whether angels are subject to a judgment, please consider the following; and, let me know your view please.

Col. 1:15-18 actually gives a very BRIEF CHRONOLOGICAL OVERVIEW of Jesus life, and how God used him for our benefit in every aspect of our existence.
1. Verse 15 = Jesus created/begot or brought forth by God as "firstborn OF EVERY CREATURE." [NOT CONGREGATION] The phrase "firstborn of every...
May I ask, please, how you define "the law of Christ?" What does the following verse mean to you?
Galatians 6:2 Common English Bible (CEB)
2 Carry each other’s burdens and so you will fulfill the law of Christ.
While the apostle Paul writes that there are many gods in 1 Cor. 8:5-6, Jesus explains that his Father is "the only true God" in John 17:3. The reason for the designation "the only true God" is due to the fact that the Father is the only God/god who has no beginning, nor any end, and who is the...
The last question I asked was, "What would happen when the disciples received holy spirit?" The scriptures explain that the disciples who received holy spirit received power to perform certain miracles, like Jesus was able to do as well, after his Father GAVE him holy spirit.
Acts 19:6 New...
If the disciples put faith in Jesus, and Jesus and the Holy Spirit are God, why had the disciples never even heard of the Holy Spirit; and, why did Paul asked them if the disciples were GIVEN Holy Spirit? What would happen when disciples received the Holy Spirit?
