    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    So Acts 1:9-11 is a prophecy that you deny to be true. That is a denial. Yes Jesus had at that last supper just about finished the work that the Father had given Him to do on earth. So John 17:4 is not a literal statement and should be understood in the context of what Jesus was talking about...

    Why So Much Trinity Bashing?

    My understanding is that God has a Son who comes from God and is the same nature as God His Father. It is this Son who was sent to be man, have 2 natures, a spirit nature that was not created and comes from His Father and a created material human nature. All life comes from God, our spirit...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    Yes of course I can give an example, can you. Acts 1:9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. 10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 “Men of Galilee,”...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    Faith needs to be accompanied by works of righteousness true. A head belief that is not lived out in our life is not the sort of faith that Jesus wants. Faith works through love. Galatians 5:6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. All that matters is faith...

    Why So Much Trinity Bashing?

    Each of those 4 needs to be seen in context. They are not declarations about not being a man, they are declarations about not being a liar and being double minded like men, and that He is no on the same level as Job, that Job could take Him to court, and that He is able to control Himself and...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    If the meaning of the Biblical prophecies for the return of Christ/coming of the Messiah have to be denied or changed by Baha'u'llah how do you know that he fulfilled them? If you say that the meanings have not been denied or changed, can you give an example.

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    I made a mistake when I said that the saints do not judge anyone. The Bible tells us differently. 1Cor 6:2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? 3 Do you not know that we are to judge angels...

    Tell me which things Baha'u'llah did when he was here.

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    I would say that the highlighted bit is wrong. I believe that Christians are saved through what Jesus did and avoid the judgement and that everyone else is going to be judged by Jesus, and that does not mean that they are destined to go to hell ( a place of eternal torment). We cannot preempt...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    You quote Rev 2:25-28 which is about the Church in Thyatira. Jesus is telling them what will be given to them if they are faithful. It is not about one person it is about anyone in the Church who is faithful. That may be none or one or everyone. Rev 2:26 To the one who is victorious and does...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    Yes what is what I thought also. He claimed to be a prophet just the way a prophet is defined in the Bible, a person through whom God sends a message, no divine status at all and not from heaven. I would say you are right. I cannot find any direct quote from the Quran saying that Muhammad is...

    Another Abortion Debate

    An apple and a leaf are part of the tree. I don't see this as relevant to the abortion debate. Is it?

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    I think Muhammad also says that the Comforter verses are about him. But yes the Comforter is called the Holy Spirit. (John 14:26) Another verse identifies the Comforter as the Spirit of Truth (whom Baha'u'llah said he was) (John 15:26) The Spirit of Truth is also promised to the disciples whom...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    I see Jesus as the one Moses spoke about. It seems also to be a proclamation about prophets in general. We can see from this translation that the prophet will be an Israelite, so not Muhammad or The Bab or Baha'u'llah. Interestingly God says of Jesus to His disciples that they are to listen to...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    Parts of Revelation is Jesus speaking and parts is not. Psalm 2 is what Jesus has been given and what He will do. If some others are given that authority also OK, the saints are going to be rulers in the world to come it seems. It is Jesus who does the judging however and treads the winepress...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    OK so you need to say that the Bible is wrong so that you can say that the Bab and Baha'u'llah are Messengers. And even that term and it's definition is something that Baha'i/Baha'u'llah has made up and contradicts who the Bible says that Jesus is and that Adam is and the Abraham is and that...

    Yahweh of Hosts is a title for God, yes just as Ancient of Days is a title for God.

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    Clouds in these passages means the clouds of heaven which we all can see by looking up. Acts 1:9-11, Matt 24:30, Rev 1:7, 1Thess 4:16-17 etc Resurrection means the coming back to life of a person who has died or been killed. Luke 9:22, Matthew 28:6, John 2:19-22 etc

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    I showed you John 14:3 and John 14:28 and John 5 (about all judgement being given to Jesus) and Matthew 25 :31-46 about the Son of Man coming and judging all people. I showed you Rev 22:20. I must also have shown you more things that Jesus spoke, saying that He would be coming back.
