    Proof of Pre-Existence

    Why is Jesus Christ, the only one in the fallacy of a triad of Persons masquerading as one Person entitled ‘God’, controversially pre-existent - but is said to BECOME GREAT ONLY AFTER being born as a human child? Consider these verses in your response: “… I (YHWH) WILL BECOME his father, and...

    ‘For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that He does. In fact, the Father will show him even greater works than these (Healing a man) so that you will be astonished’ (John 5:20) Trinity says that Jesus is Almighty God yet the following is clear from the verse: The Father loves the Son…...

    What does God do when Jesus becomes ruler over the created world?

    God created the world for the Son in humanity whom He loves the most. When Jesus is appointed as that Son, and proves himself to be so by setting to rights the world he is to inherit, God makes him the RULER of it. But God is still the ruler over Heaven. What does God do now? I know that any...

    Jews: ‘Are you greater than our Father, Abraham?’ Jesus: ‘Yes, I Am’… Does this mean that Jesus is ALMIGHTY GOD? (John 8:58)

    The Jews asked Jesus if he was greater than their Father, Abraham. Jesus answered saying that God blessed Abraham for his great faith by making the Messiah to come from his (Abraham’s) loins. Abraham, himself, ‘Was Glad’ (extremely pleased) that God had made him (to an effect) the ancestral...

    Demise of the Male species

    In the last days there will be a cooling off of the love of God… In these last days it is so common to see presentations in particular on tv where males appear to be nonexistent entities. Documentaries, interviews, presentations, etc, appear to only show female deeds, female helpers, female in...

    God glorifies the Son of Man

    Jesus Christ speaks of himself as a human Being, a Son of Man. He states at one time: ‘The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified…’ (John 12:23) Jesus states the reason why he will be glorified: ‘I tell you truly, Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains a...

    Water Baptism of babies, and the need, in general

    The original church did not baptise babies as the idea of Baptism (Water Baptism in specifically) is that it is a voluntary pledge of giving oneself to God. A baby cannot make such a pledge! But there is a annother idea that ‘Baptism is a once only affair’. Therefore, with competition between...

    Who are the partakers in each of the two resurrections at the end of time?

    A Pastor claimed that the first resurrection will be for all whom are believers in God and Christ; that all these will be rulers with Christ over the second resurrection which will be got all the condemned. What do you say, giving scriptures and supporting verses from both the old and new...

    What happens at the judgement seat at the end of time. Who goes to Heaven, who goes to Paradise, and who is eternally destroyed?

    The scriptures relates three outcomes at the judgement seat that Jesus presided over: The first judgement which is for those are of Christ Jesus, the first resurrection. Those here are already judged as ‘sinless’ and become kings and brothers with Christ and sit in judgement over those of the...

    “He is before all things” (Col 1:17) What does this mean about Jesus Christ?

    Colossians 1:17 describes Jesus Christ as being ‘Before all things’. But what does this mean, exactly? Many believe that this is a reference to a pre-existent ‘Jesus’, but is it? I see nothing to indicate any such theory. To me, the verse is saying that Jesus is GREATER than all things that...

    Did Jesus create mankind (Adam)?

But is this true and where, if it...

    Can you explain Hebrews 2:10.

    “In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.” (Heb 2:10) Can someone explain who and who is doing what and what in that verse?

    God became a man!

    A preacher on THE GOD CHANNEL stated emphatically that ‘GOD BECAME A MAN’ in reference to the question of where Jesus came from. But I’m sure I read in the scriptures that God said that he is ‘NOT A MAN.,,’ Moreover, not a man ‘THAT HE SHOULD LIE’. Yet how is it that ‘God became a man’ and...

    The Lamb took the Scroll from the Hand of Him who sat on the Throne.

    How do you envision the scene depicted in the verse in Revelation which relates to an enthroned ruler, a Lamb (looking as though slaughtered), four Living Beasts, and twenty four elders? “Then I saw a Lamb that looked as if it had been slaughtered, but it was now standing between the throne and...

    Jesus in Heaven is not God

    It’s often said by Trinitarians that Jesus was a man on earth but resumed being God when he was raised up to Heaven. In fact the saying is that Jesus went BACK to being in Heaven. Well, there are no claims by Jesus, himself, that he came from Heaven, only that he was ‘Going to the Father’...

    Jesus - First Born?

    In trinitarian belief, Jesus Christ was born as the first of all creation. Yet, in the same trinitarian belief, Jesus Christ was never born because he is God, who is not a creation! Are these two contradictory claims from one belief system?

    Trinity Confusion

    I was watching a Tv programme on the God-Channel, this morning and heard a presenter say this (I’m paraphrasing as I can’t write word for word!) “God became flesh in the person of Jesus Christ… My sins went from me to Jesus on the cross and he paid for my sins as though it were his. Then he...
