    Why Do You Reject Jesus?

    At first, I thought you were joking when you said: "Jesus never claimed to be a king" when, in fact, as you yourself quoted John 18:36 where Jesus said, "My kingdom" proving, therefore, that Jesus did claim himself to be a king, albeit "not of this world." And to which you added: "These two...

    Why Do You Reject Jesus?

    Yes, according to the Old Testament (OT) - "For THE LORD IS OUR JUDGE, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is he who will save us" - Isaiah 33:22 Of course, Christ won't be able to judge back then because he is yet to make his appearance. However, once he offered his life as a...

    Why Do You Reject Jesus?

    What is the benefit of knowledge If it doesn't move one to faith. Even the demons have knowledge of God, but that knowledge, of course will not save them, but makes them shudder - perhaps in anticipation of adverse judgement (Rev 20:10) "You believe that there is one God. You do well. EVEN...

    Christianity

    Alas it's true: For many it's all about money. It was during Paul's day ... 2 Cor 2:17 "For we are not like so many, peddling God’s word for a living." - Byington and it is a lot truer and worse in our days. Haven't you heard of the so-called Prosperity Gospel Televangelists? These are the...

    Why Do You Reject Jesus?

    Pray you are not equating Jesus with YHWH. Jesus' Father has committed all the judging to his Son. YHWH has all the right to do so being the supreme judge, of course. John 5:22, 27 "Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, ... And he has given him...

    Mystery Babylon Identified Using Just Two Verses

    Much of the identity of the woman can be deduced from the context. Exegetically, that is where you are expected to start. I'm really at a loss why you completely ignored it. To interpret the Bible, the context surrounding biblical data is of vital importance - unless the verse is a contextual...

    The WatchTower

    Please give me a link or a pdf of the Watchtower article of Bro. Russel's will you mentioned in the above post. I presume it is in the November 1, 1931 article or is it in another publication.

    THE FULFILLMENT OF BABYLON THE GREAT, Part 2 of 2

    I hate to break it to you, but the age of visions belongs to yesteryears - the Bible years to be specific. That age when the Bible was being written - the age of prophets and apostles. The visions that you saw is not from God - it is from someone else. In fact, how would you even know it was...

    THE FULFILLMENT OF BABYLON THE GREAT, Part 2 of 2

    You may have to evaluate your stand on its identification in view of what Revelation 17:1, 2 said: "And one of the seven angels that had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying: “Come, I will show you the judgment upon the great harlot who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the...

    I'm sure glad there is another voice of reason and truth of which this forum is severely lacking.

    Sorry to say, I'm not familiar at all about Australian Aboriginal customs related to the dead. I've never witnessed one any way. But let me take you to an interesting article regarding such: Aboriginal Funerals: Beliefs & Death Rituals of Aboriginal People

    THE FULFILLMENT OF BABYLON THE GREAT, Part 1 of 2

    We cannot see through in your identifying the USA as Babylon the Great. Revelation 17:1, 2 said that Babylon the Great committed fornication with the kings of the earth - the political powers. And the USA is a political power. USA cannot commit fornication with itself. Babylon the Great...

    Is religion dying?

    On the contrary, mainstream religion is dying but Christianity will survive. If a particular religion which calls itself Christian is dying, then it is not Christian because true Christianity will never die. Read the words of the founder himself: Matthew 16:18 "And I tell you that you are...

    Life From Dirt?

    I'm sorry to break it to you but what that Wikipedia article described is the Inflationary Universe Standard Model not the origin of matter nor of space, time and energy and, certainly, not of life itself. The Big Think article The Big Bang Says Nothing About the Creation of the Cosmos of March...

    Life From Dirt?

    Your so-called "God Theory" (the Higher Intelligence Theory) is the most plausible explanation for the existence of the universe and life in it. Abiogenesis doesn't cut it. Even atheists (like Paul Dirac) admit that, as the following excerpt shows: 'One of the strong evidences pointing to...

    Jesus Prayed

    That's the inevitable conclusion based on a myriad of Scriptures (NIV), a sampling of which follows: Matthew 24:36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." John 14:28 “You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to...

    Jesus Prayed

    I agree with the first half of this statement "the New Testament (which is divinely inspired)". The second half: "it clearly states that Jesus is God", I'm sorry to say, is not true. True, the King James Version says in John 1:1: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and...

    Jesus Prayed

    Interestingly, Westcott and Holt's New Testament in the Original Greek, though mainly based on Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus and after employing much textual criticism on many of the ancient manuscripts you alluded to, included Luke 22:43-44 in their translation thus proving that those...

    Legitimate reasons not to believe in God

    Some scientists acknowledge that a Higher Intelligence backstops the Universe. Ironically, for me, a devout theist, the incontrovertible proof that God exists was eloquently stated by an atheist, Paul Dirac. Remarking on the role of mathematics in nature, P. A. M. Dirac states: “It seems to be...
