    Matthew ch 16, verse 23, Jesus says to Peter “Get behind me, Satan!” . . . Did Jesus later give Peter an apology?

    The word "Satan" means "adversary". Here is Strong's definition: Peter was not possessed by Satan. Peter was opposed to Jesus being crucified. However, that was the reason Jesus came to this earth; to die for man's sins. Peter was opposing God's plan of salvation. Anyone who opposes God's will...

    Featured Matthew ch 16, verse 28, Jesus says “ . . there are some standing here who will not taste death . . ”

    We also need to remember that when the scriptures were written, they were not written in chapter and verse form. Therefore, if we look at how Matthew wrote his epistle it would look like this: For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward...

    Featured Matthew ch 16, verse 28, Jesus says “ . . there are some standing here who will not taste death . . ”

    This is a true statement from Jesus. For starters, the word translated “kingdom” is the Greek word Basileia and it means “royalty”. Here is Strong’s Definition: In the very next chapter we read chapter 17:1-3: And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them...

    Matthew ch 16, verse 23, Jesus says to Peter “Get behind me, Satan!” . . . Did Jesus later give Peter an apology?

    Jesus did not apologize because He did nothing to apologize for. Jesus lived a perfectly sinless life.

    Featured Does the Old Testament make any reference to the Trinity?

    I quoted scripture that plainly supports the Trinity. I have also posted verses that shows Jesus Christ is God. I am not at all confused. Your posts reveal your confusion concerning who Jesus Christ is. You can’t even accept Jesus’ divinity. I cannot continue this nonsense.

    Featured Does the Old Testament make any reference to the Trinity?

    This is a completely false statement. Jesus Christ is God in the flesh. He is not, was not a created being. He in fact is the Creator: John 1:1-4 & 14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by...

    Featured Does the Old Testament make any reference to the Trinity?

    Actually, they probably presented the same evidence I offered but you just dismiss all the evidence out of hand without any logical explanation. There comes a point when it becomes obvious there is no way you will accept the truth, and people grow weary.

    Featured Does the Old Testament make any reference to the Trinity?

    I would rather you first answer my direct question regarding Jesus…do you believe Jesus is/was an angel, or some other created being? Second, Agnostic Boy pointed out that God said Let us create man in our image and our likeness and then how God created man in His own image; not in the image...

    Featured The political side of Jesus's life and Parallels with today's politics

    Yes, Jesus was seen as a threat by both religious and political groups. He was a threat to their position and power. Jesus exposed their hypocrisy and the common man applauded His actions. In fact the religious leaders knew if they didn’t silence Jesus, the whole world would follow Him John...

    Featured The political side of Jesus's life and Parallels with today's politics

    I believe the only politics Jesus was interested in was the Kingdom of God. He dealt with political and religious leaders, but His focus was on bringing people into God’s kingdom.

    Here’s an AI explanation of Num.23:19 I don’t believe the verse is declaring God is not a man, but God is not like men who lie or change their minds.

    Featured Does the Old Testament make any reference to the Trinity?

    Hahaha…well you are entitled to your opinion. I have presented solid evidence that shows the Trinity is obvious all through the Bible. You simply dismiss the evidence out of hand. It is impossible to convince someone who rejects the truth. You made a comment I would like for you to clarify…do...

    Featured Does the Old Testament make any reference to the Trinity?

    And again, this is false. No angel is mentioned in this account. Notice what the Bible clearly states: Genesis 32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. Jacob wrestled with a man, not an angel. When the event was over, Jacob realized he had...

    Featured Does the Old Testament make any reference to the Trinity?

    This too is incorrect. There is no reference at all to Isaiah preaching about angels. Isaiah's message focused on God and God alone. When God said "us" He was referencing Himself, the Son and the Spirit. Angels have nothing to do with salvation, redemption or reconciling man to God. Angels were...

    Featured Does the Old Testament make any reference to the Trinity?

    Sorry, but that is wrong. This appearance of God had to be Jesus pre-incarnate. When Moses asked to see God's face, he was told no man could see His face and live (Ex. 33:18-22). Therefore, we know God in Genesis 18 was not the Father. It had to be God the Son. As you pointed out, it was Jehovah...

    Featured Does the Old Testament make any reference to the Trinity?

    Ok, Jesus is not an angel. He is God in the flesh. And He was active at the creation. Look at John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made...

    Featured Why does God allow evil?

    That would be an extremely shallow and uneducated answer. The truth is we don’t know why God allows terrible things to happen to good people. Could it be punishment? Sure, but that isn’t always the case. We’re all sinners and we will all die physically as a result of our sin. God is merciful to...

    There is a world like that. It is called Heaven. And God even made a way for everyone to go there. The better question is why doesn’t everyone follow God’s direction to get there?

    Gen.1: 26 At creation, God spoke in the plural sense. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness… Gen. 18:1-2 Jesus, God in the flesh, appeared to Abraham. And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; And he...
