But Jesus said of God/Yaweh: “"I and My Father are one."” (Joh 10:30 NKJV) Even His enemies recognised that He was claiming equality with God: “Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, "Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do...

I don't which to take this thread off topic, but as so many of the historic Confessions of Faith, and so many Christians today believe the doctrines of grace, sometimes called "Calvinism," I think it is going too far to suggest that those doctrines have any resemblance to the teachings of cults...

Although I don't agree with those who say that Jesus is our example, and nothing more, He certainly did live His earthly life in a way that means He is the best Example. As He is fully God, He didn't need to say anything to overcome Satan's temptations. But He did so, partly to indicate to...

But we have only to look a few verses further on to find such things referring to Jesus: “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, saying, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last," and, "What you see, write in a book and send it...

Where do we read that Judas was "directly promised eternal life?" He was chosen as one of the twelve, but Jesus knew that Judas would betray Him: “"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to...

I can's speak for Roman Catholics, but I wonder why you say that "those who follow Reformed theology definitely don't like what God says which is why they don't accept the entire Word of God and elevate their own teachings above what God says in His Word." I am one of those who believes...

But when God confused language at Babel, we are told how He confused. it. Before, everybody had spoken the same language. At Babel, He caused them to speak different languages. The builders of the tower could no longer cooperate, because they couldn't understand each other's speech. It was...

Where do we read in the bible that Satan ever had the keys of hell?

Why do you believe that Adam is Edom/Esau? That does not fit with what the bible says. It says that God created Adam. Esau was one of Isaac's two sons. Adam's wife was Eve. Esau had three wives, none of them called Eve: “When Esau was forty years old, he took as wives Judith the daughter...

Yes, that's why Jesus Christ is referred to as the Word, because it is through Him that the Father speaks to mankind: “God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of...

“Cast your burden on the LORD, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.” (Ps 55:22 NKJV)

I believe the 39 books of the Old Testament and 27 of the New. But we are given indications that all that is necessary has been recorded: “but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.” (Joh 20:31 NKJV)...

Yes, God spoke in various ways in the past, before people had the full bible: “God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made...

Thanks for explaining. It makes much more sense to me now. As to why those translators chose to call the Word "it", I have no idea, because to judge from the way they translate John 1:14, they also believe that this same Word became flesh. I suppose it is similar to the way in which some...

I would say that goes against so many scriptures that tell us that our salvation is all of God. Paul wrote to the Christians at Ephesus: “And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the...

If God's life-giving words rarely come through the bible, what is the standard by which they can be judged as being God's word? We'd be left with each individual Christian saying, "I believe this because such-and-such happened." or "....because I had a vision" or whatever.

Saying Jesus is not God goes against the opening of John's gospel: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” (Joh 1:1-3 NKJV) John...

What I was trying to explain (sorry if I wasn't clear) is that this is one of the areas where genuine Christians differ. Paedobaptists believe that baptism is commanded as the way to be saved; Baptists and others with baptistic beliefs hold that Baptism is a sign after a sinner is saved. Both...

Not so. Genesis tells us that when God had finished creating: “Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” (Ge 1:31 NKJV) I am not a Roman Catholic, and I believe that Adam was good before the Fall. If he was...

Well, I and plenty of other Christians believe that the bible teaches baptism is a sign following belief. Jesus had been crucified when Philip told the Ethiopian that he could be baptized if he believed with all his heart, and when the apostles spoke to the Philippian jailer.
