Bd,
I can clearly remember years ago you were saying Jesus was not crucified. I started to wonder, and I went to Jesus himself and asked. I was told to open the bible. I did and opened the bible and it fell open on the last supper. I flicked forward and it again was on the last supper in the next book.
“This is my blood of the covenant, which is…[Read more]

Maybe scripture is not meant to be read like a book from beginning to end or book by book. Rather the spirit leads to read here a little there a little as God answers questions or speaks through words hidden within larger paragraphs. Might sound weird, but that’s how I began.

thanks for reminding me of so much Bd.

Hi Ed, I haven’t asked your request. I see that as a distraction. Speaking with Jesus is comforting and healing and guiding. It moves on to the larger world, and the heart is drawn to human suffering with huge feelings of compassion, that has been my experience now and in the beginning. The only time I would ask “what Jesus thinks” of a specific…[Read more]

I hope you have better sleep, what do you think it meant in your dream that Jesus didn’t help? the reason I ask is that you speak so much about dreams and visions and say that when a Muslim dreams of Jesus that is Jesus reaching out to them to be Christians….Was your dream just a dream or did it mean something?

thanks Bd,
no, I think that was…[Read more]

Hi Mila,

Certainly Jesus encouraged us to pray to him and to the Father in jn 14.

There are some things we are advised to do before we pray to God. Forgive all. Sort out any hassles with others.

The Father is on the throne of grace so that is where we go when we need more grace-as Peter advised in the 2nd letter Chapter 1. Grace is everything…

Bd,

1)
the prophet that was to come was Jesus. scripture calls Jesus a prophet.
http://biblehub.com/matthew/21-11.htm
check out the cross references.

2)
Jesus was not sent to the Jews only.
Quoting that Jesus himself said he was only sent to the house of Israel is missing the complete story.
It’s like you might visit a certain shop, because…[Read more]

Bd,

“who was that prophet expected to come’ but Jesus (not Muhammad).

John 6:14 and 7:40.

‘Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.’

‘Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.’

why would you…[Read more]

No teaching says man will have heaven as a home.

The new house in a new body.

To be with the Lord will mean to be on the earth usually but perhaps at times in heaven too..

Nick, If Jesus goes to prepare a place, where might that place be, that “where He is we may be also”? Where did He go but to the Father and the Father is in Heaven.

What you…[Read more]

Honestly testing teachings repetitively breeds confidence in them when they do not fail the tests.

Oh OK thanks Kerwin 🙂

Hi Kerwin.

If God has people suffer eternally in some eternal lake of fire then he has a righteous purpose for it and he is a loving God. His creations are too limited to judge his works.

Even though we are limited, God still gave us a brain and a heart – to use.
God respects our searching and our love for our neighbor. He will show us the truth…[Read more]

And yes, Jesus is the Son of God as Adam was the Son of God, only difference is that Jesus was sinless. I believe God foreknew this (God knows everything that happens before it happens), and so God became His Father before He was even conceived if that makes sense? So, Jesus became the SECOND ADAM, and had no earthly father. “Thus it is written,…[Read more]

What was in the beginning (concerning Genesis) was God, His Spirit, and His spoken Word.

All are part of God, just like your spirit and your word is a part of you.

Then, God spoke His Word through His Son Jesus Christ.

I believe we can call Jesus “God” without blaspheming, though the Father is the only God to a Christian.

Any problems with that?

Hi Kerwin.

Well we will have to wait and see what happens.

Some people believe the following which I also believe.

Death and Hades is thrown into the Lake of Fire yes, but not the righteous for the following reason.

Hades was once divided into two. The righteous part (where Abraham was) and the wicked part. The two were divided by a deep chasm of some kind, as described by Jesus in one of his…

Hi KW,

Do you think DEATH has more than one meaning?

When Jesus has the keys to death and Hades what does this mean?

Nick, I think it means what Jesus said Himself.
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrect…[Read more]

Well I’m with bodhitharta on this…the Scriptures do not teach annihilation – that concept is man-made..

Hi David.

You should look into the description of hell as is written in the Qur’an and then get back to us here if you agree with that description too.

Hi mila,

Yes KW is right.

That explains why Hades and Death can be cast in the lake of fi…

If all that will remain in the end is love, how can the opposite of love remain? If love is described by the scriptures as being: (pay attention): patient, kind, not self seeking, not easily angered, KEEPING NO RECORD OF WRONG, PROTECTIVE, TRUSTING and HOPING, and if God is all of those things and more, and it’s all that remains, how can the…[Read more]

Thanks t8 I will.

Hi Bd,

Mark 9:43-44
43 And if thy hand cause thee to fall, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter into life maimed than, having two hands, to go into hell, into the fire that

never

shall be quenched,

44 where ‘their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.’

“Hell” is further described by Jesus as the place where both the body and…[Read more]
