Jesus the Man from Heaven !
Hi savedbygrace57. I do not believe that Jesus was a "man" in heaven before his incarnation. I believe he was the "Son of God", the "Logos"--the visible expression of the invisible God. Let's look at Phil. 2:5-8, NRSV: "Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was... -

The Eternal Purpose of creation !
MY COMMENTS: My understanding of Genesis 1:1-5 is, when God created the heavens and the earth, that included the sun and the moon. The earth at first was covered with heavy opaque clouds and debris that light could not penetrate. The frame of reference then becomes the face of the waters... -

Hid from the AGES , Col 1:26 ????
As we know, "gospel" literally means "good news" or "glad tidings." There have been a number of announcements of "good news" even in the Bible. In my opinion, the "gospel" given by Christ Jesus to Paul, is not the same "gospel" that Jesus preached during his earthly ministry. Jesus came to... -

What is the Thief on the Cross meaning ???
Hi glorydaz. Again I ask, was Jesus dead and in the tomb three days and nights? And if so, how could part of him be alive somewhere else? -

What is the Thief on the Cross meaning ???
MY COMMENTS: I know that is the traditional interpretation, but, if Jesus was alive That Day, then he didn't die. And yet, He said He would be in the tomb three days and three nights. It's true, Jesus committed his spirit to God. Have you studied "spirit of man" in the Scriptures? And, from... -

What is the Thief on the Cross meaning ???
MY COMMENTS: #1...I agree. I think he must have been a Jew who knew of the coming Messianic Kingdom. #2...Good point. He indeed believed in a bodily resurrection, or, the resurrection of the whole person, is another way of saying it, and thus, life after death (not life during death)... -

Do you believe in Baptism ????
Hi Dan. I agree. As members of the body of Christ, we were identified with Christ in his death, burial and resurrection, this being accomplished by the Holy Spirit. The keys of the Kingdom given to Peter and the other apostles, was repentence and baptism (in water), just as John the Baptizer... -

Do you believe in ONE Gospel ???
MY COMMENTS: Yes indeed, he preached the kingdom of God. While I couldn't find any verse that specifically said "gospel of the kingdom of God", that is certainly what Paul preached. And there are also some other connections to "gospel" that I didn't mention: for instance, "gospel of his... -

Do you believe in ONE Gospel ???
MY COMMENTS: Yes, Paul preaches that his gospel is the 'gospel of the grace of God' (Acts 20:24) but also identifies it as the 'gospel of God' (Rom. 15:16; 1 Thes. 2:2, 8, 9; 1 Tim. 1:11 etc.) and the 'gospel of Christ' (Rom. 15:19, 29; 1 Cor. 9:14, 18 etc ). -

Do you believe in ONE Gospel ???
By "gospel" it is obvious you must mean the gospel that Paul preached, namely, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, that he was buried, raised, and is at the right hand of God the Father making intersession for us. It is unique in that Paul declares that believers by grace... -

How do you define “soul�
MY COMMENTS: Only God's word gives us the understanding of "soul." At the start: Gen. 2:7 "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." AV. NOTICE: A separate "soul" was not joined to a prepared body... -

I thought heaven was peaceful?
MY COMMENTS: Indeed, Rev. 12:7 describes a war in heaven where the dragon (Satan) and his angels (messengers) are driven down to the earth by Michael and the other angels (two thirds). I take it for just what it says. My understanding of Revelation is, this was occurs at the middle of the 7... -

If God Loved everyone !
When Christ died, all mankind were sinners...that is how God proves his love for all (Rom.6:1-8). While enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of Christ. We believers know and love God because His love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit given to us (Rom. 5:5)... -

Euphrates was dry on 9/11
MY COMMENTS: It evidently can go dry many times; to me there is no correlation. The gathering of the armies in Armageddon, a huge valley north of Jerusalem, is at the end of Daniel's 70th week, often called the Tribulation. This occurs during the Day of the Lord (the Lord's Day, as John the... -

The Two Gospels
To me, the greatest gospel (good news) is that Christ died for out sins, was buried, roused from the dead and sits at the right hand of God the Father. I know of no scriptures that say that Christ died to save humans from "hell". There are a number of "good news" messages in the Bible. More... -

I am a JW, why should I consider becoming a C
MY COMMENTS: You may worship God (Jehovah) but how can you say you worship Christ Jesus, when we know that "only God is to be worshipped"? Since you say Christ isn't the Son of God? And how are you saved? Is it by believing that the blood of the crucified Christ was shed to take away the sin...- Bick

3 days and 3 nights? The sign of Jonah
There are commentaries which accurately show that Jesus was in the tomb three days and three nights, one of which is the Companion Bible, appendix 156 and 165, By E.W. Bullinger. I will shorten the appendix to just show the pertinent points: THE DAY BEFORE THE PASSOVER--THE 14TH DAY OF...- Bick

Are we missing out if we don't speak in tongues?
The answer is "Of course not!" The other posts generally have it right. My understanding is, if for some reason God wanted a believer to speak some foreign language to witness to someone, His Spirit could certainly have him do it. It is also my understanding that the church at Corinth was...
