    Works of the Law

    Few points on what you say; 1) You can not pluck 1 passage and apply that regardless of what other passages indicate. 2) Law – is Gods command – doesn’t have to written or law governments etc… make – its what the prophets told us by the instructions of God – John 12:49-50 For I did not speak...

    Apostles

    Sorry I seemed to have overlooked your comment; Apostles & prophets / Priests etc… were used loosely – those who followed, preached, were of knowledge and trustworthy gained a higher status – nothing more. Otherwise, there were many Apostles – even prophets that came after Jesus such as...

    Works of the Law

    Arguably we are all habitual sinners, unless someone believes that they have never sinned again, even if its simple as back biting. However, to have sin there must be a law that you have gone against, if there is no law then you cannot sin and then there would be no need for repentance. “For I...

    Works of the Law

    There are clearly some unclear passages – Jesus never stated he did not follow the Law and was clear that he has not come to change anything that came before. Paul also even after Jesus ascended followed the law; Acts 21 25 As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our decision...

    Works of the Law

    The Bible does imply that there were others living - Gen4:16 Then Cain went out from the presence of the LORD and dwelt in the land of Nod on the east of Eden. 17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. ......

    I had some interesting debates with JW regarding this and touching on the ‘I Am’. What would be your response to their position; Jn 17:3 – states ‘only true God’ who sent Jesus – [therefore not part of the Godhead] Ps 3:3 - But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up...

    The Bible Verse By Verse Continued...

    There seems to be a big debate - did Jonah die or not - because of Matt 12:40 Jesus said as Jonah was 3 days / nights etc...- I have always understood that Jonah was always alive do you understand it the same?

    Bible Verses About The Holy Spirit

    I was having a debate with someone on John 16 (15 in your list) - 16:7 mentions - the helper / advocate / comforter / spirit of truth (depending of version of the bible) - this is supposed to be the HS. Why does Jesus need to go away if this relates to the HS as the HS has been here from the...

    John 1

    We should also remember there can only be 12 apostles Rev 21:14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations bearing the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

    John 1

    sorry if im missing something your not very clear - clearly 3 if Jesus is not the Messiah - who is? Yes I know what the Gospels say. God – spoke to Adam & Eve / Ezekiel / Abraham / Noah / Job & many more The Apostles healed the sick and raised the dead and many other miracles…. The apostles...

    Yes of course great miracle also performed by others. Jesus said - John 11:41 (Lazarus) - 41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here...

    No man knows the day or hour

    With respect slightly contradictory - Jesus never came to abolish anything - yet circumcision is now only spiritual. Nothing that Jesus said abolished circumcision. Not sure what Paul was trying to imply - BUT; Genesis 17:12 And every male among you who is eight days old shall be circumcised...

    John 1

    Thanks for your responses. IMO with respect you haven't show any support to come to your opinions on Deut 18 and John 1 'the prophet' clearly talked about 3 people which you seem to have avoided. as to the above - again I dont understand how you come to these conclusions - happy for you to...

    Yes I was thinking in the general term of miracles. There are some issues with this though. Matt 9:1-8 - 8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men. [ implies they understood the power came form the father] Hebrew 9:22 –...

    John 1

    With respect - you have not responded to the initial discussion regarding who 'the prophet' is in John 1:19-21. Deu 18 - not saying its not Israelites or its not Jesus - but nothing you have said actually proves it or how Jesus was like Moses - my opinion is he much greater.

    John 1

    Yes Jesus has to come back and fulfill - but you haven't really responding to the point who 'the prophet' is in John 1:19-21, as it is clear that its not talking about the Messiah (Jesus)? Also, Deuteronomy 18 - says 'brethren' - the best translation - that doesn't mean it is an Israelite. How...

    No man knows the day or hour

    There is some opposition (not saying I agree) regarding Psalms 110:1 - many were called Lord as a loose term, also reference to king, master etc... Jesus also sates - Matt 22: 44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 45 If David then...
