    Complicated long topic title to check to see if you're all awake

    Truth is a mystery, it has to be for one reason which ought to be obvious. So, when truth is revealed in the scriptures and human beings read it or hear it read to them, ought the human beings come away from the experience feeling quite proud of themselves for their industrious, diligent, and...

    Truth

    Long before Moses received the Law, and long before Abraham was call by God, before any book was written, God was God and human beings were his Children. Do you believe this?

    Predestined

    Is it enough to know that the gospel is a call to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ? Or must one have a theory about who will accept it and who will not? Given saint John's statement near the end of his gospel: Jesus also accomplished many other signs in the sight of his disciples. These have...

    Forgiveness

    I do not advocate for the way of life that some live as Christians but I cannot help but speak in awe of the feats of Christian compassion that some, who are in what many see as a cult, accomplish because of their faith and way of living. One such example is forgiveness as it is shown by the...

    The widow's mites.

    There's a story told in Luke's gospel in chapter 21 that many read as a recommendation to give sacrificially to the church. Do you read it that way, or have you been taught to read it that way? Does the story encourage you to give? Well, here's a slightly different chapter division that may...

    There is one baptism.

    Some teach that there are many baptisms, many teach that there are two - one with water, another with the Holy Spirit - yet the holy scriptures assert that there is one baptism just as there is one faith and one lord. Thus, the holy apostle wrote: Be anxious to preserve the unity of the Spirit...

    Is grace the cause of one's salvation?

    Is it? Is grace the cause of one's salvation? What exactly is grace, by the way. Jehovah's witnesses never use "grace" in their bible, they have "undeserved kindness" instead. Is "undeserved kindness" the cause of one's salvation? I wonder ...

    What do you believe YHWH means?

    I know an elder among Jehovah's witnesses and, naturally enough, for him God's covenant name is of paramount importance. He uses "Jehovah" as the way to spell and pronounce God's name. That spelling is mistaken but it isn't hugely important to me that their chosen spelling isn't quite right...

    John 1:18

    John 1:18 No one has ever seen God. The only Son, who is the same as God and is at the Father's side, he has made him known. (GNB) John 1:18 No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known. (ESV) John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The only...

    Luna looses 97% of value

    Crypto currencies can be rather unpredictable. Luna is down 99% Thursday, falling to under $0.02 per coin. The cryptocurrency is linked to stablecoin TerraUSD, which lost its US dollar peg this week. Luna and Terra's slide come as cryptocurrency markets plummet in a broad sell-off. Luna is...

    Cross references

    I have a Trinitarian Bible Society KJV - 66 books only, alas - with 200,000 cross references according to the publisher. But I noticed the absence of cross references to the deuterocanonical books which is a shame because any reader of the new testament would benefit from seeing which new...

    Why did Jesus say it?

    Peter turned around and saw behind him that other disciple, whom Jesus loved—the one who had leaned close to Jesus at the meal and had asked, "Lord, who is going to betray you?" When Peter saw him, he asked Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?" Jesus answered him, "If I want him to live until I...

    Afterlife doctrine and evangelism

    It is notoriously difficult to gain converts to Christ in cultures that have a well defined and attractive afterlife teaching in their religions. Examples are Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and some others. If this observation is correct then can Christians seriously propose that the Holy...

    I am Jehovah, that is my name

    I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images. (Isa 42:8 ASV) Albert Barnes writes: This is an interesting passage. If taken by itself without any reference to the new testament it would be fairly consistent with a whole host of...

    Hebrews 1:1-3a

    In many and various ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets; but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He reflects the glory of God and bears the very stamp of his nature, upholding the...

    Justification

    A good comprehensive concordance will be useful for this thread. What does the new testament have to say about Justification. And what does the LXX say about it? The LXX will help us to grasp which words in Hebrew were translated by the Greek words that we get Justification from.

    Does God have a name and is it important to know it and use it?

    Many Christians are familiar with the religion known as Jehovah's witnesses and a good number of Christians have heard members of Jehovah's witnesses say that God's name is Jehovah and that it is important to know it and use it in prayer and when speaking about "the truth". So, does God have a...
