1 | Why is Enoch not at the Trasnfiguration? | Bible general Archive 3 | Jesusman | 192835 | ||
Ok .. now for the silly question out of no where in particular for no reason other than curiosity. If it is Enoch and Elijah who ascended into heaven without seeing death, and Jesus being the third one to also Ascend into heaven, why is it that Enoch is not present at the Transfiguration in Matthew 17:1-8? In that moment, two out of the three seen there ascended, or would ascend. Moses didn't, so why is he there? Jesusman |

2 | What is wrong with proving it true? | 1 Pet 3:15 | Jesusman | 192336 | ||
Greetings, Recent conversations have me baffled over something that I would like clarification on. What is so upsetting about providing scientific and archeological support for the Bible? The reaction thus far I get from others would seem like I farted in church. I understand the idea that the Bible doesn't need to be proven true that it is true, however not everyone in the world shares that belief. There are even christians who don't believe the Bible is true historically. What is wrong with trying to prove it true?? |

3 | Did Jesus claim to be God? | NT general Archive 1 | Jesusman | 40033 | ||
Hello All, On another forum, we've been discussing the deity of Christ. Did Jesus claim to be God? I have already supplied support verses such as John chapter 1, John 8:58, Luke 5:21-26, and others which show that Jesus was God. Any insight into this topic? Thanks. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

6 | Some Christmas thoughts | Matt 1:24 | Jesusman | 28339 | ||
Hello All, This past christmas has allowed me to reflect upon the day that Jesus was born. I have often wondered about what exactly took place on the night that Jesus was born. This is a reflection on that day. It was late at night. Mary and Joseph have been travelling to Betheleham because of a census that was ordered by Ceaser Augustus. Upon arriving in Bethleham, the Bible talks about Mary and Joseph searching all around town to find a place to sleep, but only finding a stable out behind an inn. Better than nothing at all, I suppose. Upon the birth of Jesus, Angels appear to shepherds, shepherds come to see the newborn messiah, and to praise him. My mind then begins to wonder about what took place after that. Maybe around four in the morning, after the shepherds have left. What took place then? Mary, being exhausted from not only travelling all day, but also giving birth, and having probably a horrid day of frayed nerves, was possibly fast asleep on the hay. Baby Jesus was either asleep on her chest or in the manger-cradle next to her. Joseph is possibly walking around outside, under the morning sky, awaiting the arrival of sunrise. I have often wondered what was going through his mind throughout all of this. Earlier, he was probably trying his best to be a good husband, trying to keep his cool, and not go nuts by letting things get to him. After all, Mary was relying on him for support nad strength. The last thing he needed was to let his mind wander off into oblivion. So, he kept his thoughts simple and on the moment at hand: Help Mary. Now, that time has past, and it is time to let his thought flow free once again. His conversation with the angel from God was still possibly fresh in his mind. Mary just gave birth to the promised messiah, and now he was given charge over this young messiah's up-bringing. The shock of the overwhelming responcibility just hit him. Under the full weight of what was to happen, he probalby collapsed on the ground. Looking up into the sky, he may have prayed a simple prayer to God saying something like, "Lord, What am I going to do now? How can I raise a king, and messiah, a God? I'm not cut out for this. Am I? What am I going to do?" Still looking up to the stars, as if they would reveal the answers to him, a part of a psalm comes to mind. "Be still and Know that I am God." With renewed peace of mind, Joseph pulls himself off of the dirt, brushes himself off, and begins to walk about the pasture near the stable. Deep in thought, he wanders about, reflecting upon the words of the angel, that the boy Mary just gave birth to was concieved by the Holy Spirit. "Concieved by the Holy Spirit"? How can that be? Why "Jesus" for a name? "Save his people from their sins"? That's a lot of responcibility to place on such a small baby. How am I going to raise this child? How am I, a simple carpenter, going to raise the future King of Israel, the Son of God? "How, Lord? How am I going to do this? Why Me?" Joseph shouts above, the questions that fill his mind. As he gazes across the land, he sees the first glimmer of the new sunrise coming out of the east. Then another revelation hits him, "In the Beginning, God ..." Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

7 | Knowledge of the Second Coming | Bible general Archive 1 | Jesusman | 27024 | ||
Hello all, Here's a question that I came up with a while back that I love asking because I love the variety of answers that I often get. Here we go. In Christian Doctrine, it is taught that Jesus is the Son member in the Tri-une Godhead. We are also taught that the all of the members of the Tri-une Godhead share the same knowledge, attributes, and etc. With that in mind, turn to Matthew 24:36. "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone." Ok, with that verse in mind as well as the doctrine of the tri-une God, answer this for me. How can God keep knowledge away from himself? Jesusman |
