    As Jesus rightly said, 'And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?' Demons don't willingly leave a house in which they have made themselves at home! Why should they?

    The message of Jesus is 'good news' for the very fact that he did not come to bring judgement, but salvation from sin. Luke 9:56. 'For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.' The goodness that comes from God, as the Holy Spirit, is a righteous and loving Spirit...

    Did the false prophet heal the sick and cast out demons?

    The fig tree has nothing to do with Jesus' compassion for lost souls. The cursing of the fig tree was a prophetic picture of a nation not displaying fruit in and out of season. It's a story wedged between the 'triumphal entry' of God's anointed Christ into Jerusalem on an ***, and the turning of...

    The 'vinegar' was not itself the problem, because it was a light wine the Roman soldiers regularly drank. The problem was the mixing of 'gall' with the wine, which was intended to lessen the suffering of a crucified man. This is the mixture Jesus refused to take because it would have clouded his...

    Don't be taken in by those who claim that the Pauline writings of the NT are not consistent with the teaching of Jesus. Jesus makes known the promise of the Comforter, and the Comforter is the Holy Spirit. This is the same Spirit that comes from the Father, through the Son, to dwell within the...

    I find what you say here very interesting. In 1 Samuel 16:7 it says, 'But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because l have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on...

    And what about the fact that all four Gospels mention the crucifixion and the vinegar? Or, do you think it was a common Jewish foible to be fixated by vinegar?

    Let me be clear. I do believe Jesus is the Christ, the Anointed One. However, it is important to understand that the man upon whom the Spirit of the LORD rested, was Jesus. That Spirit only came to rest at the time of Jesus' baptism. The passage from Acts 10:38 says exactly that! 'How God...

    cause-and-effect: "cause" require evidence too

    If the governor of Syria is unknown (to non-Christian sources) between 4 BCE and 1 BCE, then it is possible that Quirinius was governor at some point during this time. The references to Quirinius found in Roman sources do not explain his whereabouts for each of the years when information on...

    What do you make of Psalms 69? Matthew 27:34.

    Jesus was born under the law, and received his anointing at about thirty years of age.

    To my understanding, the prophets may have been fallible as human beings, but when they prophesied in the Spirit, they prophesied the words of God.

    Daniel 9:27. The one week mentioned is a reference to seven years, set apart from the previous 69 heptads, or 483 years. This final seven years is, I understand, not a covenant with God, but with an anti-Christ, and is, therefore a false covenant. You are only anointed as a part of the 'body of...

    The second coming is the bound up with the 'consummation'. This is the destruction brought about on the enemies of God. The need for 'Israel' to be ready is found in the nature of the 'second coming'. 1 Thessalonians 5:2. 'For yourselves [the Church] know perfectly that the day of the Lord so...

    Either Jesus said it, or two of the Gospel writers made it up. Normally, when you have two independent witnesses providing harmonious evidence, the testimony is adjudged to be acceptable evidence. Either way, the account appears twice, and the connection between Jesus' crucifixion and Psalm 22...

    And if man is not omnipotent, why are you following his religion? Is that not a form of idolatry?

    Nothing to explain, except that Jesus quoted the first line from this psalm whilst on the cross! Why do you think he did this? Why was he drawing attention to this particular psalm?

    We know the Church Age is hidden because Paul tells us so. 1 Corinthians 2:6-14.

    The connection is the signet, taken from Jeconiah, and given to Zerubbabel. Jeremiah 22:24 tells us this. 'As l live, saith the LORD, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would l pluck thee thence;' Jeremiah 22:30.'Thus saith the LORD, Write...
