Muslims, Bahai's, Christians, Some Hindus, and even a few Jews, quote sayings of Jesus as if they are historical sayings of Jesus himself. Of course most Christians would definitely believe the New Testament has his sayings in some form or another. Some believe they are absolutely verbatim...
"If that is what you consider to be true then why does it matter to you what we Jews say?" That is the question I often want to ask when threads are started as if they are asking questions to Jews when instead what is being posted is a statement or manifesto. That is not to say that some people...
From what I understand, the oldest versions of the New Testament were written in a very well-educated Koine Greek. Starting with the Gospels and the book of Acts I have the following questions.
According to Chritianity, is it claimed that the authors of the Gospels wrote the New Testament...

Here is the basic Christian Teaching on : Tripart
Genesis said that man "1st Adam" was made in "Our image".
"Our image" : = "God the Father, Christ the Pre-incarnate Word, and The Holy Spirit.
1.) God the Father
2.) God the Word (Jesus pre-incarnate)
3.) God the Holy Spirit.
"3'.

I believe and say that Revelation 2:23 is an irrefutable proof that Jesus is God.
and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
Look carefully, Jesus says that he is He who knows the inner man and will...
Jesus Christ explained by brother Bronson (Jesus Christ is a Man 1 Timothy 2:5, Jesus Christ is a prophet Deuteronomy 18:18, Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God Matthew 16:16-17, Jesus Christ is GOD John 20:28-29, Hebrews 1:8)
Jesus, in the gospels, says he has come to fulfill the law, yet many people object, understandably, that Christians don't keep the laws. Its taken a long time for me to understand how to understand what is going on, and I want to share it. It has to do with the passage of time and cultural...
In his family tree there are of course also Jews, but Rahab, Ruth and Bathsheba are not Jews but nevertheless appear in the family tree of Jesus, so Jesus was actually also a Gentile. What does it mean to be a Jew anyway? According to the OT, one can become a Jew by converting. Do ethnic Jews...
God in the OT,
I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God besides me. Isaiah 44:6
Jesus in the NT,
I am the first and the last, and the living one; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades. Revelation 1:17-18
The title "the first...
If Jesus is not God, why was He worshiped even as an infant? He is worshiped very often in the NT, but he never says "Stop worshiping me, I am not God". The Greek word clearly refers to worship. The word proskyneo also once refers to Peter, who was worshipped and then immediately said "Stop, I'm...
God in the OT,
I, Yahweh, search the heart, I test the mind, to give to each person according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds. Jeremiah 17:10
Jesus in the NT,
And all the churches will know that I am He who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you according to...
It is really a phenomenon, when Jews are in danger, then there is great noise in Europe and in the USA, but the persecution of Christians is ignored. Even the situation of Muslims in China has more attention; I wonder if Europe and the USA are still really Christian. Currently, Christians are...
Only 5 times in the NT the Greek word "parakletos" appears. 4 times it appears in the Gospel of John, and in these 4 times it is said that the Holy Spirit is the "parakletos". And one last time it appears in the first letter of John and in this passage the "parakletos" is Jesus according to...
It was supposed to be the start of a conversation but the Christian never responded.
I wonder why.
Here's the gist of what I said:
The Greek scholars who wrote the gospels, far as we know, didn't have any sources--notes or documents from which to draw on when writing down Jesus' words in...
What are your thoughts about these scriptures to seem to profess God's will for Christian believers?
Do you believe what these scriptures found in 1 Thessalonians 5 have any merit to the life of a Christian believer considering it has to do with God's will for believers?
Have you ever been...
I believe the Bible and the Bible says that the true heirs of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are the Christians who have become children of Israel through faith in the gospel, they are now kings, priests and even gods. The fleshly Israel who reject the gospel have lost this blessing, they and all...
I believe that Jesus will most likely appear in 2033 at the latest. The reason why I am now sure that Jesus will come in this time period is because of Genesis 1. When we look at this chapter we realize that much of the creation days are meant metaphorically, or how could plants and water exist...
The bull goes to its goal. And the goal is the cross. It is very crazy that the first letter and last letter of the Hebrew alphabet are the bull and the cross. Is the language really man-made, but how can a man create something so complex over these many thousands of years? I mean, the Gospel is...
