    Revelation 3:14-22 14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art...

    The Hierarchy of the Priesthood.

    At the top, is the Prophetic and the Apostolic. The Prophetic is referring to the people that can hear from GOD inaudibly, decipher and assimilate what they heard accurately, and then teach the people. Elijah (EL-YAH) which are triplets; three distinct persons which operate by the same...

    ABRAHAMICS ONLY: Parables series: The Wine and wine skins.

    Matthew 9:17 reads: 17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved. If we look at this with the understanding we have today, we will completely miss the...

    It is written in Genesis 2: 21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said...

    Bible has predicted COVID-19 and Judgement Day what comes shortly after it

    But those who die in the LORD will live; their bodies will rise again! Those who sleep in the earth will rise up and sing for joy! For your life-giving light will fall like dew on your people in the place of the dead! Go home, my people, and lock your doors! Hide yourselves for a little while...

    Persecution of Christians

    14 of the top 16 countries where Christians are most persecuted are muslim countries; could words like these be to blame? Quran Surah 5, Verse 72 Those who say "Jesus is God" are disbelievers; they will not enter paradise, but hell. These evil people will have no helper! Quran Surah 9, Verse 5...

    Isaiah 35:4-6 Say to those who are timid of heart: Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God is coming, revenge is coming, the vengeance of God! He himself is coming and will save you. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be opened; then shall the lame leap...

    The Bible says Jesus is God

    Jesus, the Creator of ALL things John 1:3+10 All things were made through him, and without him, nothing was made that has been made. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him. Romans 11:36 For by him, and through him, and for him are all...

    Is the Bible Trustworthy?

    My discussion partner in the other thread doubts it is... He cited one example among others insinuating Bible contradicted itself. According to Matthew, Jairus said his daughter died, see Matthew 9:18-10, whereas Mark 5:21-24 quotes him in a sense that she is dying right the moment when they...

    World as Fairy-tale

    Time is an illusion, many sages say. After all, why do we see the number 2020 on the calendar and not 2010 or 2022, if we exist and are alive not only today and now? Therefore, the wise men should be put on a scientific track: time is real, but the passage of time is an illusion. A fairy-tale...

    Another view on Bible violence (applies to any Scripture)

    Another view on Bible violence (applies to any Scripture): Hypothetical: 1) God exists and one goal of humans is to live a humane life 2) God is Loving, Just and Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient 3) God inspired to write the Scriptures (as an example I use the Bible) In short: * All our...

    Interesting experiment with violence in Scriptures

    In Holland they did a nice experiment. They took a Holy Scripture and highlighted some violent passages, and showed it to the people and asked some questions. Also interesting to see when those people found out from which scripture the verses came. All this to confront ourselves with our...

    The Bible a sure Spiritual Guide.

    Personally I see the Bible is flawless in purpose. I see it is a record of the Spiritual Mission of God's chosen Prophets up to and Inclusive of Jesus. I also see it also gives Prophecy that the spiritual guidance will continue to unfold and culminate in an age of peace for all humanity under...
