"JESUS never claimed to be God. Everything he said about himself indicates that he did not consider himself equal to God in any way—not in power, not in knowledge, not in age. In every period of his existence, whether in heaven or on earth, his speech...

What caused slavery to end? Well as we just saw this week, slavery has not come to an end in the United States, it has just been repackaged. See the article: http://thecnnfreedomproject.blogs.cnn.com/2011/04/21/feds-file-human-trafficking-suit-against-farm-labor-contractor/?hpt=T2

Answer to:
As an atheist do you have a soul? No an atheist does not have a soul. He IS a soul. Genesis 2:7 states: “Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul.” Note that Adam did not have a soul; he was a soul—just as someone who becomes a doctor is a doctor. The word “soul,” then, can describe a whole person. This...

read Luke 21:25 Jesus said "in the End there will be distress of nations, with perplexity" is this prophecy being fullfilled now? Yes, I believe that it is being fulfilled today. The Bible describes events and conditions that mark this significant time period. “The sign” is a composite one made up of many evidences; thus its fulfillment requires that all aspects of the sign be clearly in evidence during one generation. The various aspects of the sign are recorded at Matthew chapters 24, 25, Mark 13, and Luke 21;...

Who is the eternal father? Jesus has been granted the role of “ Eternal Father.” By his father – Jehovah God.

This means that they will finally be released from sin and imperfection inherited from the sinful first man, Adam. (Matthew 20:28; Romans...

Answer to:
DO YOU BELIEVE HUMANS HAVE A SOUL?? No, I do not. Many have been taught that the soul is a shadowy thing that survives death. The Bible teaches something different. The first book of the Bible, Genesis, identifies the soul for us. Genesis 2:7 states that at the first man’s creation, he “came to be a living soul.” Man, in his entirety, is a soul; animals are also souls. (Genesis 1:20-25) So, logically, when a human or...

It says: “God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be...

DOES JOHN 20:17 MEAN THAT JESUS IS GOING TO ASCEND BEFORE HE SEES THE DISCIPLES No it does not. Evidently, Mary Magdalene feared that Jesus was about to leave and ascend into heaven. Moved by her strong desire to be with her Lord, she was holding fast to Jesus, not letting him go. To assure her that he was not yet leaving, Jesus instructed Mary to stop clinging to him but instead to go and declare to his disciples the news of his resurrection.—John 20:17.

Jesus Christ is considered by Christians the Son of God and the Son of Man. What is meant by the term Son of Man? Although Jesus rarely spoke of himself as God’s Son, he did acknowledge that he was.

What is the opposite of Spiritual ? It is like the Apostle Paul said at I Corinthians 3:1: “I was not able to speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to fleshly men, as to babes in Christ.” To appreciate what it means to be a “spiritual” person, it is helpful to understand the opposite term, “fleshly,” as used by the writer Paul. What does being “fleshly” mean? It means to be dominated by the flesh, that is, to...

If God is Love, then is Love God too? Jehovah is both the personification of love and the Source of it. “Beloved ones,” wrote the apostle John, “let us continue loving one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born from God and gains the knowledge of God. He that does not love has not come to know God, because God is love.” (1 John 4:7, 8) Godlike love, therefore, can develop in a person...

Answer to:
Do you love God or fear God or both? Both. Godly fear will help us to obey Jehovah. This profound awe and deep respect for Jehovah stems from taking in knowledge of him, learning about his infinite holiness, glory, power, justice, wisdom, and love. Such fear is crucial to drawing close to him. Note what Psalm 25:14 says: “The intimacy with Jehovah belongs to those fearful of him.” So if we have a healthy fear of...

Answer to:
"I and my Father are one", says Jesus.....what does this mean? "I and the Father Are One" That text, at John 10:30, is often cited to support the Trinity, even though no third person is mentioned there. But Jesus himself showed what he meant by his being "one" with the Father. At John 17:21, 22, he prayed to God that his disciples "may all be one, just as you, Father, are in union with me and I am in union with you, that they also may be in union with us,...

Answer to:
Jesus was a humble person who never wanted glory or material reward for his work. Are Christians wrong to praise and glorify him so much? Jesus was a humble man. The Bible clearly shows this.

In the world you are having tribulation, but take courage! I have conquered the world.” John’s account continues: “Jesus spoke these things, and, raising his eyes to...

Why did Jesus, a Rabbi, sit by the river with his disciples eating food without first going through the ceremonial washing? Consider the account found in the Bible at Luke 11:37-54.

Before they eat, the Pharisees engage in the ritual of washing their hands up to the elbow. They do this before and after a meal and even between courses. Although the tradition does not violate...

Was God invented to explain mysteries? No God was not invented. Mankind is His creation. There are many mysteries to weak, mortal man. "However, there exists a God in the heavens who is a Revealer of secrets" Daniel 2:45,47. God has given us life so that we can discover those secrets.

However, the Bible says of God: “The Rock, perfect is his activity, for all his ways are justice. A God of...

If Jesus is God, why did Jesus ask God to "Take this cup from me, not my will, but thy will be done"? Since you ask this "question" then provide your own home made "answer", could you at least supply me some scriptures from your Bible where Jesus really says- as you do, that he is "Jesus Is God in the flesh. How do I know this? Jesus stated this many times". Please - SHARE those scriptures with us, could you do that?

Answer to:
Was Jesus..... Yes Jesus is the Son of God. Just one of the scriptures that clearly shows this is when Jesus went to John the Baptizer to be baptized in the Jordan River.

The Bible says that this is what happened: “After being baptized Jesus immediately came up from the water; and, look! the...

Answer to:
"Be ye fruitful, and multiply." With 6 billion people on this planet, we need to disobey God on this one. 9:7 Yes, God did tell Adam and Eve in Paradise to “be fruitful and become many and fill the earth” (Genesis 1:28) Yet nothing in the Bible shows that we are under that same command today. It seems somewhat contradictory to apply to [billions of] human beings the same formula that was applied to the only two inhabitants of the planet.

Why can it be said that the Bible is a book for all mankind? Reading God’s “word,” or message, in the Bible can change our life. It can help us to examine ourselves as never before. We may claim to love God, but how we react to what his inspired Word, the Bible, teaches will reveal our true thoughts, even the very intentions of the heart. The Bible truly is a book from God. It is a book that is to be read, studied, and loved.
