If you are truly a follower of Jesus, shouldn't you consider the Holy Scriptures, just as He himself did? John 10:35 ...the scripture cannot be nullified... PS: He quoted Psal. 82:6 in John 10:34.

It is the Bible that says this: So: Daniel was not in any "bosom of Abraham," much less did he ascend to heaven when Jesus was resurrected, AND David was not in heaven when Peter gave that speech (Acts 2:14-36) in the year 33 CE. If such a location were real, wouldn't it make sense to assume...

This is no surprise to anyone. There are also churches that call themselves "Christian" that are especially designed for homosexuals; a lot of them in the city where I live. Matt. 7:21 Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of the heavens, but only the one doing...

There is no mention in Scripture of Abraham being in charge of receiving souls from the dead in an invisible place. What sparked the notion that this mythical location was completely vacated of its treasures to be transported to heaven during Jesus' ascension? Where did this extra-biblical...

It is not Paul whom you are critiquing. All Christians understand that a wife is to be subordinate to her husband as the head of the household, and that a woman should not take on the role of steward within a Christian community. Discontent with certain biblical teachings is not a recent...

"When you obey the Lord, you have peace of mind" is not the same as "the Lord's commandments are meant to bring us happiness in this lifetime". PEACE OF MIND is not equal to HAPPINESS.

That notion stands in stark contrast to the accounts of life experienced by first-century Christians. They endured slander, persecution, frequent hunger, ridicule, confinement, and confronted falsehoods from influential adversaries, much like Jesus did... Jesus explicitly warned them about the...

The book "The Search for the Christian Doctrine of God" by R. P. C. Hanson (1988) says that "Almost all the Eastern theologians believed that the Son was in some sense subordinated to the Father before the Incarnation". I have explored several writings of the Apostolic Fathers, who lived in the...

Are you truly familiar with the concept of SUBORDINATIONISM and the reasons we believe it is supported by the NT? Did you realize that both the New Testament and the Apostolic Fathers endorse subordinationism? It's important to note that the views of the Catholic Church in the 4th century are...

Personal differences will always exist. Now: does Jesus Christ know how to control the congregation of which he is the appointed head by God, or not?

I don't think that that meeting in Jerusalem meant such a thing. Among the brothers there were some who were weak and did not understand some difficult-to-understand issues. Other brothers surely, like today, resisted changing their Jewish views that they had before becoming Christians, to the...

The Christian congregation, as well as the Apostolic Fathers of the late first and early second centuries, were subordinationists. Do you know what subordinationism is?

The New Testament mentions "truth" more than a hundred times, with a significant number of those instances attributed to Jesus. To uncover "truth," immerse yourself in the Scriptures and you will discover it. Your perspective is merely one of countless individual interpretations. The Bible...

I am very glad that you feel peace of mind. I have peace of mind too.

The Bible is not "quotes". It's God's written Word. John 17:17 Sanctify them by means of the truth; your word is truth. As you can see, only "by means of the word" of God, people can be sanctified. Think about it: if you consider the Bible just "some quotes" from God and Jesus, you are...

The inability of some individuals to reach a consensus does not imply that the biblical truths regarding specific matters have not been explicitly communicated. Believing that differing, contradictory doctrinal perspectives stem from the Bible itself is merely a feeble justification for a lack...

You probably think that the Kingdom of God is just a state of mind. What God promises goes beyond our thoughts and involves a change in the real conditions around us: sickness and death will disappear from among mankind (Rev. 21:3,4). I don't believe that no matter how hard one tries, one...

It seems that you consider the Bible to be just another book. It turns out that for Christians, the Bible is more than just a book that tells us about God and Jesus. The Bible for a Christian is the manual from which we learn the truth unequivocally. There is no other book like the Bible, and...

Paul was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ. He was specifically chosen by Jesus to spread the message to far-off regions, including among non-Jews, and even to secular leaders whom other Christians could not engage directly. Paul experienced the profound influence of the holy spirit, as he was...

In my opinion, shared by Jehovah's Witnesses globally, this narrative is a parable. Moreover, beyond the previously mentioned points that support this interpretation, it is important to consider some additional aspects: 1) Jesus addressed his audience not regarding a doctrine about the...
