Both a man or woman needs to learn how to fulfill their role as a husband or wife long before they say "I do" at the wedding ceremony, that they are "past the bloom of youth" even before dating.(1 Cor 7:36) This is where parents are to teach their children how to become responsible adults.(see...

Okay, I will continue this discussion outside this forum.

In a court of international law and in which whether a person is an American (or any other nation for that matter) has no relevance here, for both parties must establish their case before a judge(s). The burden of proof lies with both. Otherwise, the judge(s) will rule in favor of one over the...

Gullibility (accepting ideas and speculation without sound evidence) is something no person should want to be charged with (but in reality, this is very common). To avoid this requires that a person find what is the truth about life through serious research and sound evidence, to see whether we...

To the contrary, the oldest Greek Septuagint manuscripts does have God's personal name within it, in ancient (or paleo) Hebrew lettering. Fouad No. 266 is considered as the second oldest manuscript of the Greek Septuagint, dating to about the 1st century B.C.E.(The oldest known Greek version of...

I did not say that the King James Bible started the practice of not using God's name of Jehovah, but continued this custom by placing the name Jehovah only four times within its pages. You are correct in assessing that the Jewish Greek Septuagint accepted the tradition of supplanting God's name...

The Pentateuch or five books of the Bible (Genesis through Deuteronomy) was written down by Moses in 1473 B.C.E., and contained the Law covenant to the nation of Israel that became their constitution of laws for the next 1500 years. The religion of Islam has some of its roots within the Mosaic...

The plurality of the Hebrew word God (elohim) does not mean that the word "God" is made up of more than one person and is the plural of the Hebrew word elohah. Rather, when applying the Jehovah, Elohim is used as a plural of majesty, or excellence. Regarding this, Aaron Ember in The American...

It is not a matter of "a more enlightened Christianity", but what the Bible really teaches. The Bible establishes that God is a spirit person (John 4:24), for the apostle Paul says that Jesus took his perfect shed blood and appeared before "the person of God" (literally "face of God", Heb 9:24)...

Though professing to be Muslim, you cite Genesis 1:1 of the Bible, that there is one "only true God" who created the universe with its wide diversity of life.(John 17:3 in the Bible) And it should be of interest to anyone who really wants to know the "only true God" that he has a personal name...

Why are so many non-Christian ? The answer may surprise a number of ones that profess Christianity. Because of religion's role in the massive bloodshed over the centuries, the failure to adhere to the morals of the Bible (like Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, etc) and thus hypocritical, the greed...

The ancient Oriental man named Job was under duress from Satan's attempts to break his integrity.(Job 2:3) Because of the extreme test put upon him by Satan and allowed by Jehovah God (Job 2:6), Job felt that death was better than life, for then his suffering would end, saying: "Let the day...

Psalms 146:4 establishes that when a person dies, his thoughts end, his mental faculties cease, all sensory inputs have ended, so that he or she cannot feel any pain, for they are dead. Ecclesiastes 9 verifies this by saying: "For the living know (Hebrew yada that means "are conscious") that...

Are you looking for "the truth" or is there something else you are searching for ? The Bible establishes that the Bible "hell" is mankind's common grave, not a place of fiery torment. For example, at Revelation 20, it says: "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell...

The belief in "hell" as a place of fiery torment did not originate with the churches of Christendom, but came from ancient Babylon (that was started by Nimrod, Noah's great grandson, who opposed God, Gen 10:10), some 4,000 years ago. This and other false religious teachings were passed on to...

Does interpretations of the Bible belong to any human ? The Bible is truth, for Jesus said in prayer to God: "Sanctify (or make holy) them (his genuine disciples) by means of the truth; your word is truth".(John 17:17) Truth is not at odds with itself, as if there are two or three or any number...

Yes, there is some very good books and brochures that show how to have a successful marriage, such as the 192 page book entitled "The Secret of Family Happiness", with such topics as "Preparing for a Successful Marriage", "Two Keys to a Lasting Marriage", "How Can You Manage a Household ?"...

I will not pursue this any further, but will say that the Jews were notorious for false religious worship long before Jesus arrived on the earth as the Messiah in 29 C.E. The land of Israel accepted such gods as Molech, Baal, Chemosh, sex worship with Ashtoreth images. During the period of the...

It is true that the Hebrew echad means "united, i.e. one (or as an ordinal) first" (Strong's), the context must be considered in any given Scriptural account. Otherwise, twisted or wrong conclusions result. Genesis 2:24 is an example of this, denoting that husband and wife are to be "one flesh"...

At Deuteronomy 6, Moses told the nation of Israel: "Listen, O Israel, Jehovah our God is one Jehovah."(Deut 6:4) Why did Moses say this to the nation of Israel ? Because almost forty years earlier, they had been released from Egypt's bondage, whereby some were old enough to remember the triad...
