    What is God's highest priority?

    Even if you want to argue that Jesus made His grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, thus fulfilling Isaiah 53:9, Jesus did not see his seed and His days were not prolonged, so there is no way Isaiah 53:10 can be about Jesus. As I said before, Baha'u'llah fulfilled all of Isaish...

    Unity in Submission to God’s Counsels.

    I am sure there are other prophecies but here is one: Isaiah 53:8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. Bahá’u’lláh was taken from the black-pit...

    What does it mean to be a 'Jew'?

    Hi dybmh. Good evening. Sorry it has taken this long to get back to you. It's not because I was at a loss for words by any means, it's because I have simply been busy. Upcoming at the end of this week is the Feast of Trumpets for us. I couldn't fit everything on one message as I ran out of...

    Where are the Dead?

    No, I have never heard that, and I do not believe it. I guess that comes from an interpretation of Bible verses that I do not interpret that way. What do you think those Bible verses mean? I think Ecl. 9:5 means that dead bodies know nothing. Of course they know nothing, since their bodies...

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    Well "buried" is the wrong term. He was entombed according to the resurrection myth. But as the saying goes "it did not take". Isaiah is a bit of a mess anyway. It was not written when Christians think that it was written. Must of it is history written as if it were prophecy...

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    Christians cannot have it both ways. They cannot say that Jesus was buried and also say that he rose from the dead. Christians try to argue that Isaiah 53 is all about Jesus but Isaiah 53:8 and Isaiah 53:9 cannot apply to Jesus because Jesus was not taken from prison and from judgment and...

    ‘Jesus was WITH GOD’ therefore Jesus WAS GOD?

    Oh, I see -- you are saying that it is BDB's opinion that the word in the plural means a singular! And it provides no explanation for such a capricious decision! LOL! Next time you choose to use such an opinionated and wrong dictionary, maybe get a clue.

    ‘Jesus was WITH GOD’ therefore Jesus WAS GOD?

    101G can care less if a zebra was or was not there... CAN YOU READ? b. of time, latter or last (according to context) Exodus 4:8; Deuteronomy 24:3; 2 Samuel 19:12; Isaiah 8:23, of God Isaiah 44:6 ("" רִאשׁוֺן) Isaiah 48:12 (do.) compare Isaiah 41:4; in Genl. subsequent (vaguely), ׳יוֺם א = time...

    ‘Jesus was WITH GOD’ therefore Jesus WAS GOD?

    No it isn't -- that's just your opinion. LOL LOL -- 41:4 doesn't have אַחֲרוֹן, it has אַחֲרֹנִים מִֽי־פָעַ֣ל וְעָשָׂ֔ה קֹרֵ֥א הַדֹּר֖וֹת מֵרֹ֑אשׁ אֲנִ֤י יְהֹוָה֙ רִאשׁ֔וֹן וְאֶת־אַחֲרֹנִ֖ים אֲנִי־הֽוּא remember, according to what you just posted, that means "they that come after" IN THE...

    ‘Jesus was WITH GOD’ therefore Jesus WAS GOD?

    that's the Lord Jesus... LOL, LOL, LOL, No, I already know, but for you on Isaiah 41:4 we suggest you consult the Brown-Driver-Briggs dictionary, b. of time, latter or last (according to context) Exodus 4:8; Deuteronomy 24:3; 2 Samuel 19:12; Isaiah 8:23, of God Isaiah 44:6 ("" רִאשׁוֺן)...

    Why is this world out of control?

    Hello everyone! Interesting perspectives! Thank you for your patience and feedback. I’ll keep it short and simple. We know that Satan is the resister of Jehovah and also known as the Devil, because he is the foremost slanderer of God. You may ask, “ Why did not God destroy Satan promptly...

    War: the Pope says that mankind is in danger; strive for peace

    Carl Sagan was right on a number of issues -- not all, though. At least he saw and declared "man's inhumanity to man." In that he certainly agrees with King Solomon, who observed thousands of years ago that the human family has long experienced terrible oppression and injustice. He wrote: “I...

    Jesus Christ: the greatest story ever told?

    It does not matter if there is no mention of a triune God. The passage cannot be used against a triune God because Echad can mean a compound one. You cannot say that God has no son and you cannot deny it if God shows Himself to be a triune God Exodus 3:14 God said to Moses, "Ehyeh asher ehyeh...

    Jesus Christ: the greatest story ever told?

    "The word 'echad, "one," is used in the Jewish Scriptures in either a compound or absolute sense. In what sense is 'echad used in the Shema, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One" (Deuteronomy 6:4)? Answer: In such verses as Genesis 1:5: "And there was evening and there was...

    The Resurrection is it provable?

    I am not saying that this proves anything for sure, the only claim that I am making is that if someone is going to invent a story an if someone has the liberty (and the will) to lie and invent any witnesses to promote an agenda…………one is more likely to invent witnesses that would be considered...

    The Resurrection is it provable?

    Because several reasons. One is Marks theme was "the least shall be first" The parables of Jesus are also full of the reversal of expectation theme (Mark 4:30-32, 7:15, 8:35, 10:29-30, 10:44, 12:1-11), and as I already noted, Mark explicitly agrees with the program of concealing the truth...

    Are believers happier than atheists?

    Yes, sadly, many imagine that pursuing riches brings happiness. So it is true that most people are misled by their imaginings. It has proven to be factual, what's written here. (1 Timothy 6:9-10) 9 But those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many senseless and...

    Burden of Proof is on Atheists

    Reversal of Expectation Finally, an empty tomb serves Mark’s thematic agenda of ‘reversal of expectation’, which structures much of his Gospel. Indeed Mark clearly sought to “reverse” the reader’s expectations throughout his narrative. As just a few examples: James and John, who ask to sit at...
