    Is Jesus an angel?

    Jehovah's Witnesses and Adventists claim that Michael (the angel) is Jesus. However, in the Bible Jesus is neither described as an angel nor as Michael. Not once. They also claim that Michael is the only Archangel, which is not said in the Bible. What is an Archangel? There are altogether seven...

    A few questions for Christians

    I am trying to understand why people are Christians and what it means to them to be a Christian. So, I have three questions. What caused you to become a Christian? What does being a Christian mean to you? How do you think Jesus wants you to live?

    (Christians, Muslims): Why your religion?

    I believe in God, and at this point, I've decided that if I were to follow a particular religion, it would either be Christianity or Islam; these two seem most likely of all the religions I've studied to be true. Yet, I'm conflicted about which one of these is true and unable to make up my mind...

    Is there an official Trinity doctrine?

    I have been having discussions recently involving the Trinity. Many people have various views regarding the details of it. I have said that the Trinity is a specific set of ideas. So saying that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is God does not mean that one is a Trinitarian. The reason why I...

    Why don't you understand the Trinity?

    What exactly is the problem? We people are a small trinity too. We people consist of a body, a soul and a spirit. And yet we are not each 3 people but only one human. Are there a soul and a spirit? Yes. The Bible mentions and differentiates spirit, soul and body. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Now may...

    What do you think about this quote?

    Martin Luther once said: "The Hebrew language is the very best and richest in words, and pure, does not beg, has its own color. [...] When I was younger, I wanted to learn this language, because without it, one can no longer properly understand the Scriptures. That's why they said rightly: The...

    First fake In the old scriptures of the Bible it says in John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Is the New World Translation a valid version of the Bible? but in the "Bible" of the Jehovah's Witnesses it says ... and the Word was a God. The...

    Do you understand the trinity?

    I explain it with a comparison. We humans are a trinity too. We humans consist of a body, a soul and a spirit. And yet we are not 3 humans but only one human. It is the same with God, he consists of a body, a soul and a spirit. And yet it is not three Gods but only one God. The body of God is...

    Jesus is omnipotent (Revelation 1:8) (Matthew 28:18) Jesus is omnipresent (Matthew 28:20) A prophet calls Jesus God (Isaiah 9:6) The apostles call Jesus God (John 20:28-29) (Romans 9:5) (1 John 5:20) God the father calls Jesus God (Hebrews 1:8) Jesus is the image of the invisible Al (Colossians...

    Romans 8, 1 Timothy 2 and the anointed

    I have been reading up on the topics "Mediator" and "New Covenant" in Insight into the Scriptures (sort of a biblical encyclopedia of the Jehovah's Witnesses). I have also read a past watchtower which discussed a Question from Readers article regarding 1 Timothy 2:6 which says: "For there is...

    Acts of the Apostles 1:9-11 records the ascension of Christ before His disciples. And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them...
