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

    Hahaha...You cannot comprehend the Trinity because you cannot come to grips with the divinity of Jesus Christ. Your claim that Jesus was an angel is heresy and sounds very much like the Watch Tower Society doctrine. Are you a Jehovah Witness?

    Matthew chapter 16, “ . . except the sign of Jonah . . ” — yet another example of more focus on Paul’s letters than on the 3 Synoptic Gospels.

    I’m sorry friend, but a “former Christian” does not exist. The Bible is very clear in its teaching that those who put their faith in Christ are sealed by the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption (Eph.4:30). If you are not a Christian now, according to the Bible, you never were. You may have...

    Matthew chapter 16, “ . . except the sign of Jonah . . ” — yet another example of more focus on Paul’s letters than on the 3 Synoptic Gospels.

    This post makes no sense at all. First, the overwhelming number of Christians that I know believe the Bible is both inspired and literal. You seem to have the misconception that inspired and literal are opposing terms. This is simply not true. Second, word for word usually is related to...

    Matthew chapter 16, “ . . except the sign of Jonah . . ” — yet another example of more focus on Paul’s letters than on the 3 Synoptic Gospels.

    Matthew 12: 39-40 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and...

    No you didn’t. You gave your take on what you thought was mystical.

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

    If I could recite the conversation in the Authorized Scooter version I believe it would go something like this: For the Son of man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay every man for what he has done. Also, there are some of you who are standing here who...

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

    It may sound mystical to a nonbeliever but that isn’t what I referred to as false. Nowhere in scripture does Jesus suggest anyone just embrace the wonder of life. That is the false claim you made. Jesus said “Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” There’s nothing mystical in that...

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

    We may not know for certain who penned the words, but we know for certain who authored it. God did. 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came...

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

    This is a false claim. Jesus never suggested anyone embrace the wonder of life. Jesus said we must repent of our sins and believe in Him to even have life.

    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.
