Sure .. a plausible explanation based on pre-existence .. and indeed Jesus always refers to God as someone other than himself but, what is the name of this God that we are to pray to "Hallowed be thy NAME"
and such language matters .. while may mean nothint to modern day Christian .. it...
It's an interesting subject about Melchizedek. Reading more about this, Genesis 14 further says:
"17After Abram returned from his victory over Kedorlaomer and all his allies, the king of Sodom went out to meet him in the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley)."
(More about Abram...and...
Thank you for your reply.
I find at Hebrews 7:3 being in connection to Hebrews 7:1 Melchizedek.
Melchizedek was both King and High Priest.
There is No mention of Melchizedek's parents but we know he had parents.
There is mention of Jesus' parents both heavenly and earthly.
Thus, Jesus as Son of...
Well there is another faith based in the Holy Land that indicates that Christianity lasted 1844 years and Islam 1260 years.
From BC 457 the 2300 year prophecy predicts 1844 and the 69 and 70 weeks prophecies tell of the event of Jesus the Christ.
They also show the Faith of Muhammad is...
l believe NT scripture reveals that the Church age was kept a mystery to Hebrew prophets [see Ephesians3:3-11]. It's particularly important to dwell upon the idea that Jew and Gentile 'should be fellowheirs' in Christ. This was not the prophetic word given to Israel under the law.
If one can...
it has been my experience that most all religions run to Matthew to prove their doctrine.
who wrote Matthew?
When was it written?
To whom was he writing?
What is a testament?
When does a ‘testament’ come into effect?
(“For where a testament is,
there must also of necessity be the death of the...
I was not brought up in any religion or believing in God. I became a Baha’i during my first year of college. I was not searching for God or a religion at that time; I simply stumbled upon it, looked into it, and came to believe it was true. That was over 50 years ago, and I have never...
Where you brought up in the Baha'i faith or were you a convert? I have been assuming you were a convert. I need to start with one piece of evidence at a time. As a Christian I hold to the gospel of Christ as true. As a Baptist I hold to the Christian New Testament as the sole Apostolic...
Christus Victor was the original "model" or theory of salvation, espoused by practically all of the Church Fathers - emphasizing the "victory" of Jesus as the giver of eternal life from God the Father, triumphing over the darkness of a world in the bondage of death, "the wages of sin".
As St...
Well, when I first started to study the Bible I recall, perhaps incorrectly, the JW's mentioning the sacred secret or mystery. Now, the way I remember it, and this is possibly due to my faulty memory, is that it was that Jesus demonstrated that Adam didn't have to sin. In fact, I mentioned this...
Looking at Ephesians3:3 Paul is indicating that the mystery is that not just Jews but Gentiles, through the Good News, are heirs to God's promise in Jesus Christ. this seems to emphasize the fact that non-Jews "mysteriously" are also able to share in God's promise. This references the Jewish...
I think you're making a bigger deal about the mysteries than is warranted. Splintering groups often elevate an area of scripture above all else and that's what distinguishes them. Pentecostals elevate baptism with the Holy Spirit and tongues, I heard a group recently who is elevating the rights...

Its all about context.

Well Drew, there is alot about God which remains a mystery to mankind (Deut.29:29).
29The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
But that which he has revealed we...
