Quote but Jesus forgave sins making imself God right?Hi CA.I discuss your comments regarding this in another post.BUT, did you notice how those around Jesus, when asked about his identity, identified him as the “Son of” God and not God himself.A thousand times without question we are told that Jehovah (YHWH) is God. And 6000 other times where it…[Read more]

Quote If anyone wants to hurt my kids, you had better pray HARD that the authorities get to you before I do.Let me guess…. Catholic?

Quote DENOMINATIONS ARE A DIVISIONDENOMINATIONS TALK BAD OF ANOTHERTrue.Here's an early example: “you hate the deeds of the sect of Nic·o·láus, which I also hate.” (Rev 2:6, Jesus)Should the apostles have just joined up with the sect of Nicolaus? Or any or all of the other sects that were forming?

And…, it makes no sense to adore, kiss and almost worship a replica of what you believe Jesus was tortured on.If your brother is killed with a gun, do you make a replica of that gun and kiss it? No, you abhor it.While his death meant everything and we are greatful, the instrument of his death …. do we adore it?

Quote Jesus was God,for who can forgive sins but God alone?That's the how “the scribes” were thinking. They thought: “He is blaspheming. Who can forgive sins except one, God?”Jesus responded:“Why are YOU reasoning these things in YOUR hearts? . . . in order for YOU men to know that the Son of man has authority to forgive sins upon the ear…[Read more]

Hi Nick. I've been gone for 5 months. What did I miss? How are you doing?

Quote To worship Mary is to commit mortal sin and put oneself in danger of hell fire.Congratulations Nick. You have found another person who believes in the pagan God dishonoring non-biblical hellfire belief. I knew someone would eventually show up.

Quote Jesus was God in her womb. She is the Theotokos (God-bearer)To confess any less is material heresy.–CAHi CA.What if I confessed that he was the “Son of God”?1 JOHN 4:15“Whoever makes the confession that Jesus Christ is the Son of God . . .” According to John, if we are to remain in union with God, what must confess?I would not call Joh…[Read more]

LUKE 1:32“This one will be great and will be called Son of the Most High.” (How did the angel announcing his birth refer to him?  Compare Ps 83:18, where it says that Jehovah alone is the Most High.)LUKE 1:34“For that reason also what is born will be called holy, God’s Son.”MATTHEW 3:17“Look! Also, there was a voice from the heavens that said: “…[Read more]

Quote Jesus is God the SonEven if he was “God the son” why use that expression? The Bible certainly does not ever speak of “God the son.”Jesus is repeatedly called the “Son OF God” and hence, “of” God, therefore logically not the God that he is “of.”Repeatedly the inspired Bible writers refer to him this way. It would be wise to follow their…[Read more]

While engaged in the preaching work (Matthew 28:19,20, etc) I used to speak with a Catholic, whose name was Mary and who adored Mary (Jesus' mother.) From her, I learned that some Catholics do study the Bible and are interested in it. The one topic that she told me I was not allowed to discuss with her was Mary having other children.She told me…[Read more]

Quote Did you listen to the whole thing?It sounds long. Do you have it in written form? I'm a much faster reader than listener.

Quote She said that she had “actually” seen God.“Have I here actually looked upon him who sees me?”–NWTIt looks more like a question to me.You seem to have neglected that:Quote Then she began to call the name of Jehovah who was speaking to her: “You are A God of sight,” for she said: “Have I here actually looked upon him who sees me”

Quote Thinker doesn't believe that even a single scripture was tampered withI'm not certain thinker does believe this, but if he does, he is wrong.People tamper with it all the time. The vast majority of Bibles have removed God's personal name about 7000 times! This is the grossest dishonor….removing the very authors name from his own…

WJ, I'm curious how someone such as yourself would understand these words:EPHESIANS 5:20“in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ giving thanks always for all things to our God and Father.”COLOSSIANS 3:17“And whatever it is that YOU do in word or in work, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, thanking God the Father through him.”How do you und…[Read more]

Quote I got bored as most of us, myself included, were just endlessly repeating our same points and arguments. I've been away for months as well. Much the same reason. I do enjoy being sharpened though. And this forum is a great test of patience. If you do not go insane, you will become stronger.

These verses appear in certain Bible manuscripts and versions of the fifth and sixth centuries C.E. But they do not appear in the older Greek manuscripts, the Sinaiticus and Vatican MS. 1209 of the fourth century. Dr. B. F. Westcott, an authority on Bible manuscripts, said that “the verses . . . are no part of the original narrative but an append…[Read more]

The Hitchens video is interesting. He touches on several things that seem to indicate that Jesus did exist, although he believes, as a deluded person. He points out that if it was all made up, they would have done a better job, such as just saying that Jesus was born in bethlehem, instead of having to go there. Or how it was “stupid” women, as…[Read more]

Quote Does that mean we're not supposed to pray to him but only to God through him? Are there any scriptures that suggest praying to “Jesus?”Quote what about the Holy Spirit? Why does he seem to play such a minor role in the New Testament? THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS NO THRONE (like Jesus or Jehovah)SECONDARY POSITION IN THE SCRIPTURES /…[Read more]

Quote ACCORDING TO PSALM 110:5 ADONAY IS THE NAME OF THE ONE WHO SITS AT YHWH'S RIGHT HAND! THEREFORE, IT IS GOD WHO SITS AT YHWH'S RIGHT HAND!Something to consider is that this use of “Adonai” at Psalm 110:5 was one of 134 scribal changes from “YHWH” to “Adonai.”In 134 places the Jewish Sopherim (scribes) altered the original Hebrew text from…[Read more]
