I do believe Paul was a genuine brother, but there are things in "his" epistles that look like they are contrary to other things in the Bible. He evidently knew that people were forging letters in his name, because he writes: "That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by...

"Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." (1...

After running from it a long time, and trying to change the modern day churches I have attended, to only face rejection and exclusion, the Lord is (still) pushing me towards starting a fellowship. In Texas, there are "churches" all over. Plenty. And this isn't going to be, so help us God, like...

1 Peter 4:18 KJV [18] And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? What are y'all's thoughts on "scarcely be saved"?

Hebrews 5:8 KJV [8] Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; What are y'all's thoughts on this passage?

Hello all, This is a profound prophecy in Revelation 8:10-11, where we read: "And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called...

Hello family, Did God pour out his own wrath on Christ on the cross? No. Did Christ take the punishment of sinners (as in, we weere destined for the cross and Christ took our place)? No. Rather, I believe Christ's death pacified God's wrath. Listen to this story in Numbers 25 which speaks of...

Hello family, Genesis 1:1-2:3 lays out an entire creation narrative consisting of seven days (the seventh being a day of rest), but then Genesis 2:4 starts all over again with, what appears to be, a different creation narrative. Here are some things that seem to indicate that the two are...

Let's examine some of the texts that seem to indicate to some that God will ultimately save every man. "For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe." (1 Timothy 4:10) This passage does not...

This is a continuation of a discussion in the "Father greater than the Son" thread. Daq presented some quite convincing arguments in favor of the notion that Jesus is actually Michael the Archangel. My response to him is as follows: What would you say about Hebrews 1:13 and surrounding, where...

Hello, Many Trinitarians have alleged that Christ identified himself as God in John 8:58, where Jesus tells the Jews: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am." (John 8:58 KJV) The argument is based upon the common English translation of what God spoke to Moses in Exodus 3:14...

This is a continuation of a discussion redirected from the "Apologetics" section in accordance with what I was told by a moderator. Hello. I believe that he is the first creation of God. This seems to fit the context as well. Please consider the following. Jesus' statement reads as follows...

Christianity Adopted By Constantine Christianity as a whole was already widespread throughout the Roman Empire when Constantine became Emperor in 306 AD. Yet, rather than violently opposing the constant spread of the Christian movement, as the previous Roman Emperors had done, Constantine...

Hello. In what way is Jesus God? The Nicene Creed says that Christ and God are homoousios (same substance), but that same term was rejected by the Christians who assembled at the Synod of Antioch around fifty years before the Nicene Creed was formulated. Furthermore, the Council of Rimini held...

Hello. I submit to you, the readers, that there is only one who is God in an unqualified sense, and that is the Father. However, in a particular sense Jesus is also God, but only inasmuch as he is the "image of God" (2 Cor 4:4, Col 1:15). To explain, think of this... If I hold up a picture of...
