    Being embarrassed about Jesus?

    I see you are telling me this information is wrong. The Greek New Testament uses the Greek term parousia (παρουσία, meaning "arrival", "coming", or "presence") 24 times, seventeen of them concerning Christ. However, parousia has the distinct reference to a period of time rather than an instant...

    WWJD Did Jesus Pray to Mary?

    I'm tempted to give a thorough response, but since getting into this might be considered off topic, could you please take a look at 2 Thessalonians 2:6, 7, and the surrounding verses, as well as Acts 20:29, 30, as soon as you get opportunity. ...and can you please consider when these words were...

    My mother died, kind of suddenly

    That's great. I'm glad your dad is like that, and not like me. I'm sorry to hear that. My first reaction was, What? What?, but then I remembered that this is the way the world has shaped whole communities, and families make up these communities. Can I share this with you... Introversion, and...

    The Kingdom of God

    :thumbsup: It's good you said implied, because that means, that's what you assume, and not what was saying. Why do you assume Jesus was referring to seeing in one way only? Why could Jesus not be referring to seeing either way - by vision, and in reality?

    The Kingdom of God

    I'm trying to follow what you are saying, and think I understand. I'll try to cover everything, just in case I might be missing something. So, Peter, James and John - some of those standing there, did not taste death, until they saw the kingdom of God coming with power. They saw the kingdom of...

    My mother died, kind of suddenly

    It sounds like he is doing good. From what you said, it doesn't seem like you need to do that. Likely he will get support from members in the church, since he is social. You though, and your brother, might need more encouragement. So, you could busy yourself in the company of those who are more...

    The Kingdom of God

    I hope you don't mind my asking, but did you read what I said? If you did, you did not understand what I said. There's nothing in my post, hinting or suggesting that a disciple died 6-8 days later. My answer to your question, is, none died before the transfiguration. However, out of the twelve...

    Being embarrassed about Jesus?

    Which of those scriptures refute that Christ's presence will be accompanied by a compound sign featuring wars, famines, food shortages, and earthquakes in one place after another, along with increased violence? I don't see any. I just see Microsoft Copilot's collections of interpretations. It's...

    Believers being bullied by other brothers and sisters in Christ.

    I was thinking of two particular scriptures, and one fact of history, as I read your post. The two scriptures are Acts 20:30, and1 John 2:19. The historical fact is, schisms in Christianity has been ongoing from the first century, and has not reversed, What do we learn from this? I learned...

    The Kingdom of God

    That's a great question. The answer is none. How many disciples were present when Jesus spoke those words? Luke tells us. Twelve. Luke 9:1, 12 How many of those saw the vision? Matthew, Mark and Luke tells us. Three. Therefore, some did not taste death before seeing the kingdom of God come...

    Being embarrassed about Jesus?

    I tend to deal specifically with evidence. I don't normally consider claims as having any validity or purpose. Hence arguing about who is right or wrong, in my opinion, is pointless - leads absolutely nowhere, and is therefore q waste of time. Lay the evidence out on the table, and we can look...

    The Kingdom of God

    All three accounts connect the transfiguration to Jesus promise. Matthew 16:28-17:2; Mark 9:1-3; Luke 9:27-29 Within a matter of days, they saw a vision of Jesus in a glorified state. They thus saw the kingdom of God when it has come with power, in a vision. On the other hand, people will see...

    My mother died, kind of suddenly

    As I was reading this, it sounded so much like the experience I recently had. Only, my mom fell asleep in the hospital. However, I can relate to your feelings, even though your grief may not be the same. First, I want to let you know I sympathize with your loss, and the family's. Your dad has...

    WWJD Did Jesus Pray to Mary?

    Shows how far the early church fathers went in adopting their own ideas into church doctrine, and how people down through the ages have taken these up, and held on to them... not letting them go, even if they are shown that the Bible does not support these ideas. It's not the common practice...

    Being embarrassed about Jesus?

    It sounds to me as though you are saying anyone who believes that Jesus parousia began in the early 1900s, is a non Christian, but the Bible describe a Christian as a disciple or follower of Christ. Me and my associates are not non Christian. A "regular Christian" can be anyone, who does...
