  • Christians, do you believe Psalm 79:6? What are you doing about it?

    Psalm 79:6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you

    And on the kingdoms that do not call on your name

    Do you believe that the "LORD" will do this?

    Isaiah 12:4 And in that day you will say: “Give thanks to "THE LORD", call on his name,

    Make his deeds known among the peoples! Declare that his name is exalted.

  • Jehovah's Witnesses: You believe that Michael the Archangel and Jesus Christ are the same being, right?

    Daniel 10:13 But the prince of the royal realm of Persia was standing in opposition to me for twenty-one days, and, look! Mi′cha·el, one of the foremost princes,

    If Michael is "one of the" foremost princes, how IS he Jesus? Jesus is greater than all except for Jehovah, right?

  • Trinitarians: John 8:58 has been used recently to say that Jesus said that he is Jehovah?

    English Standard Version

    Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”

    Now, this SAME logic, another person MUST be put in the trinity!

    Judges 13:11 At that Manoah got up and accompanied his wife and came to the man and said to him: “Are you the man that spoke to the woman?” to which he said: “I am.”

    So, is Manoah apart of the trinity or not? Does this passage now make it a quadrinity?

    I use this to spark reasoning, not for amusement.

  • Trinitarians: Do you think it is odd that the belief of Jesus being equal to God is a claim the Jews made?

    John 5:18 On this account, indeed, the Jews began seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath but he was also calling God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

    Then Jesus says:

    John 5:19 Therefore, in answer, Jesus went on to say to them: “Most truly I say to YOU, The Son cannot do a single thing of his own initiative, but only what he beholds the Father doing. For whatever things that One does, these things the Son also does in like manner.

    If you view Matt 3:17, God speaks from heaven, and says who Jesus is.

    John 10:36 - Jesus says who he is.

    Matt 14:33 - The disciples say who Jesus is.

    Matt 27:54 - The army officer says who Jesus was.

    Following the principle here:

    Matthew 18:16 But if he does not listen, take along with you one or two more, in order that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every matter may be established.

    Should we listen to Jehovah, Jesus, Apostles, and the army officer, or listen to what the Jews FALESLY accused Jesus of?

    I forgot!!!

    Luke 8:28 At the sight of Jesus he cried aloud and fell down before him, and with a loud voice he said: “What have I to do with you, Jesus Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.”

    Even the demons KNEW who Jesus was!

  • Trinitarians: Can you show me the Scripture that these beliefs are based?

    The Divine Person Jesus has two natures He is the Son of God (Divine nature) and the Son of Man.

    Jesus was human, with gods soul.

    Jesus was fully human and fully God at the same time.

    Each nature is full and complete -- He is fully God and fully man.

    Each nature remains distinct.

    Christ is only one Person.

  • Trinitarians: Please answer.....Does God need to learn anything?

    If he does not, then tell me HOW is Jesus God?

    Hebrews 5:8

    New International Version

    Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered

    New Living Translation

    Even though Jesus was God's Son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered.

    Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered.

    New American Standard Bible

    Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

  • Atheist: SERIOUSLY – How would you address this SECOND of many prophecies?

    Now, the previous question ones made claim that the book was written AFTER the event. That is not what EVEN “smart ones” say. However, let’s go to Isaiah:

    Isaiah 44:27-45:2 the One saying to the watery deep, ‘Be evaporated; and all your rivers I shall dry up’; 28 the One saying of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd, and all that I delight in he will completely carry out’; even in [my] saying of Jerusalem, ‘She will be rebuilt,’ and of the temple, ‘You will have your foundation laid.’”

    45 This is what Jehovah has said to his anointed one, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have taken hold of, to subdue before him nations, so that I may ungird even the hips of kings; to open before him the two-leaved doors, so that even the gates will not be shut: 2 “Before you I myself shall go, and the swells of land I shall straighten out. The copper doors I shall break in pieces, and the iron bars I shall cut down.

    Now, “Dead Sea Scrolls” date Isaiah’s writings to the time Scriptures say, 732 B.C.E. So that logic does not stand. Almost 200 years in advance, the Bible says that CYRUS will invade Babylon. Not only that he will succeed, EXACTLY how he will do so.

    The “water deep” being evaporated matches up what history books have written that Cyrus diverted the river Euphrates and made it across. But another problem arose, the gate. What would be opened?

    Scripture again says at 45:1 that “even the gates will not be shut”. Now once inside, would there be much of a struggle?

    Jeremiah 51:30 “The mighty men of Babylon have ceased to fight. They have kept sitting in the strong places. Their mightiness has run dry. They have become women. Her residences have been set on fire. Her bars have been broken.

    Additionally, he will have the temple rebuilt!

    2 Chronicles 36:22, 23 And in the first year of Cyrus the king of Persia, that Jehovah’s word by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah roused the spirit of Cyrus the king of Persia, so that he caused a cry to pass through all his kingdom, and also in writing, saying: 23 “This is what Cyrus the king of Persia has said, ‘All the kingdoms of the earth Jehovah the God of the heavens has given me, and he himself has commissioned me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among YOU of all his people, Jehovah his God be with him. So let him go up.’”

    Proof that the Bible is real is what I hear all the time. When provided with something tangible, will you accept it?

  • Atheist: How would answer this ONE of many prophecies from Scripture?

    Dan 8:3-8 tells what will take place by a vision....

    Daniel 8:20-22 “The ram that you saw possessing the two horns [stands for] the kings of Me′di•a and Persia. 21 And the hairy he-goat [stands for] the king of Greece; and as for the great horn that was between its eyes, it [stands for] the first king. 22 And that one having been broken, so that there were four that finally stood up instead of it, there are four kingdoms from [his] nation that will stand up, but not with his power.

    Imagine, I tell you that the U.S.A. will be overthrown by China. That is no small prediction. The probability is high. NOW, I add that China will be overtaken by Vietnam. You would think that I was CRAZY!

    This is exactly what Daniel did here. He not only said that Media and Persia would conquer Babylon, but Greece would OVERTAKE them. AND, the "great horn" broken in four, representing four kingdoms, being Alexander the Great FOUR generals that took over after his early demise.

    Alexander has plans to rebuild Babylon with it as his capital city. What happened? A mosquito bite.

    Isaiah 13:20 She will never be inhabited, nor will she reside for generation after generation. And there the Arab will not pitch his tent, and no shepherds will let [their flocks] lie down there.

  • Trinitarians: Who is Jesus subjecting all things to? Who is it that has the exception from his authority?

    (1 Corinthians 15:27, 28) For [God] “subjected all things under his feet.” But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that it is with the exception of the one who subjected all things to him. 28 But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone.

  • Atheist ask for proof? Why have these prophecies not been proven false?

    Isaiah 13:20 She will never be inhabited, nor will she reside for generation after generation. And there the Arab will not pitch his tent, and no shepherds will let [their flocks] lie down there.

    Jeremiah 51:37 And Babylon must become piles of stones, the lair of jackals, an object of astonishment and something to whistle at, without an inhabitant.

  • What is Paul talking about in 1 Cor 15:26-28?

    1 Corinthians 15:26-28 As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing. 27 For God “subjected all things under his feet.” But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that it is with the exception of the one who subjected all things to him. 28 But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone.

  • Does JESUS not clearly define what the definition of marriage is in these verses?

    (Matthew 19:3-9) And Pharisees came up to him, intent on tempting him and saying: “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife on every sort of ground?” 4 In reply he said: “Did YOU not read that he who created them from [the] beginning made them male and female 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will stick to his wife, and the two will be one flesh’? 6 So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has yoked together let no man put apart.” 7 They said to him: “Why, then, did Moses prescribe giving a certificate of dismissal and divorcing her?” 8 He said to them: “Moses, out of regard for YOUR hardheartedness, made the concession to YOU of divorcing YOUR wives, but such has not been the case from [the] beginning. 9 I say to YOU that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication, and marries another commits adultery.”
