21 | Father | John 10:29 | userdoe217 | 11110 | ||
I took your advice Ed, and read John 10 I seem to "Be the first to leave a note or question about this verse" about a lot of verses eh? :) Now I ask you, Does not Jesus say in John 10:29 Again, that the Father is greater than all? Shouldn't we believe Jesus? and does not John 10:9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.[1] He will come in and go out, and find pasture. say that he is the gate, meaning he is the means to reach God (The Father), but not the end? |

Tim, may I ask about yourself? What denomination of Christianity do you belong to? Isa |

May I ask, what is an amplified bible? Isa |

24 | Which branch of Islam? | Revelation | userdoe217 | 11107 | ||
Well I was only 8 when I left Africa, so I hardly remember it. About the branches of Islam, I see myself as MUSLIM and thats it. I believe in 1 God and his messengers. I have been practising for maybe 2 years now. 4:152 To those who believe in Allah and His apostles and make no distinction between any of the apostles, we shall soon give their (due) rewards: for Allah is Oft- forgiving, Most Merciful. Sects are made to divide the people, and I don't agree with it 6:159 As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects, thou hast no part in them in the least: their affair is with Allah. He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did. 19:37 But the sects differ among themselves: and woe to the unbelievers because of the (coming) Judgment of a Momentous Day! 23:53 But people have cut off their affair (of unity), between them, into sects: each party rejoices in that which is with itself. 30:32 Those who split up their Religion, and become (mere) Sects,- each party rejoicing in that which is with itself! 43:65 But sects from among themselves fell into disagreement: then woe to the wrong-doers, from the Penalty of a Grievous Day! I am following the Original teachings of Prophet Muhammad. And because Jesus was a righteous Prophet as well, and his Mother Mary was righteous, I am learning more about them. Yours Truly, Isa PS How does this work? "Note to viewers: This thread has been temporarily restricted from appearing on the homepage." Is it because it has the word "muslim" in it? LOL |

25 | me | Revelation | userdoe217 | 11106 | ||
For the original questions you replied to, I read the replies, and I am thinking about a response. Since you are probably correct, and since I do not have a Greek bible, nor do I understand Greek, I will leave it as it is. For the newer questions I have posted are not so complicated, I am replying to them. Thank you for writing about John 1:1 Isa |

26 | Father in heaven | Mark 10:18 | userdoe217 | 11104 | ||
How is it possible that God can pray to God? Would his prayer be an expiation for his sins? Shouldn't he be giving an example of praying to himself, because is not Jesus the focus of Christian prayers? If he was giving an example of praying to the Father in heaven, should we not be following his example? Koran 4:171 O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of God aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of God, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in God and His apostles. Say not "Trinity" : desist: it will be better for you: for God is one God. Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is God as a Disposer of affairs. |

27 | Jesus is a Prophet? | John 9:17 | userdoe217 | 11025 | ||
Does this not infer that Jesus was a Prophet (Messenger of God) and not God himself? Thanks, Isa |

28 | One born of God cannot sin? | 1 John 3:9 | userdoe217 | 11024 | ||
There are no notes about this verse, so I would like to be the first to ask what does this mean? One born of God cannot sin? Thanks, Isa |

29 | Good grief | Mark 10:18 | userdoe217 | 11023 | ||
Mark 10:17 As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" 18 And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone. How can Jesus, who even refuses to be called "good" could have allowed any one to worship him? Did not Jesus himself pray more than a dozen times to God, according to the Gospels? |

30 | spirit/soul | John 1:14 | userdoe217 | 11022 | ||
Whats the difference between a soul and a spirit? They seem the same to me. Thanks, Isa |

31 | The Throne of God or Man? | Ps 45:6 | userdoe217 | 11015 | ||
Thought you might find this interesting, the Qur'an has 40 verses about the Throne: Here is one: 3:86 Say: "Who is the Lord of the seven heavens, and the Lord of the Throne (of Glory) Supreme?" 25:59 He Who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between, in six days, and is firmly established on the Throne (of Authority): Allah Most Gracious: ask thou, then, about Him of any acquainted (with such things). PS, Allah in arabic comes from "Al" (The) and "Ilah" (God), used by Arab Christians, Jews, and Muslims to signify God. |

32 | Father and Son | John 14:28 | userdoe217 | 11013 | ||
This is an old question that was not answered, so I wish to reask in hopes that someone will answer: How do the Father and the Son relate to each other? I don't wish to open up a discussion on whether the Trinity is accurate. My question begins with the assumption that it is true that God has one essence but 3 persons in relationship. Nor is this question related to the relationships between the Father and the Spirit or the Spirit and the Son. My questions are: 1) What are some of the many passages that describe the ways that the Father and the Son relate to one another? 2) What can we learn about God from these passages? Please give verses and observations. |

33 | Father greater than Jesus | John 14:28 | userdoe217 | 11012 | ||
I wanted to thank everyone especially Tim who has been answering most of my questions, and Jim who has been really inviting. Does this mean that according to Jesus, the Father is greater than him? Yours truly, Isa |

34 | muslims - 144,000? | Revelation | userdoe217 | 10820 | ||
My job is to learn about christianity, and maybe in the process you can learn something too. i'm not here to 'convert' anyone. You did not answer my question about 144,000 people in heaven. Isa |

35 | The name Jesus | John 1:1 | userdoe217 | 10753 | ||
Sorry I did not realise i had to declare my faith. Please take a look at my other post. :) But I would be surprised if you could find quotes in the Quran that prove the divinity of Christ, No, I am not trying to tear down your faith - yet I have seen quotes that seem to disprove his divinity in the Bible. Then again, I may be wrong, Hopefully you can "show me the ropes" around here. Eesa (Arabic) (Jesus is Esau in Hebrew) Anyone know where the name Jesus came from? |

36 | muslims - 144,000? | Revelation | userdoe217 | 10752 | ||
Yes I am. My parents don't really practice but I decided to do some research for myself into Islam and Christianity. Did you know the Qur'an (Koran) says: 5:82 Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant. I was reading the bible online when I found these study notes. I thought it may be a good way to get my questions answered. I was born in Africa, I now live in Canada. Hope I find what I am looking for :) Isa |

37 | and the word was God | John 1:14 | userdoe217 | 10751 | ||
Greatings Tim, thanks for your time. Yes I am muslim. I am right now not in agreement that Jesus is God, maybe you could clarify: John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Okay, then let me ask about this verse. If the "Word" is Jesus, then is this the translation: John 1:1 In the beginning was the Jesus, and the Jesus was with God, and the Jesus was God. How can Jesus be WITH God, if he IS God? God was with God? |

38 | muslims - 144,000? | Revelation | userdoe217 | 10664 | ||
I'm sorry but you must be mistaken. Muslims don't believe only 144,000 people are going to heaven. I may be mistaken, but where did you hear this? Thank you. Isa |

39 | Jesus is the son of man | John 1:14 | userdoe217 | 10663 | ||
Jesus was son of man. My proof: a) "and the Word (Jesus) was *with* God" (John 1:1). (b) "He (Jesus) was in the beginning *with* God" (John 1:2). (c) "And the Word (Jesus) *became* flesh" (John 1:14) either at the *beginning* or after the act of *becoming* happened, "Jesus" who was "with" God or "became" flesh, had to be either an additional, other, different, distinct, or dissimilar entity than the God. Now, please read the following: "No one can serve two masters;..." Matthew 6:24 If you wish choose the ONE and the only Master, please read; "Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory forever and ever. Amen." 1 Timothy 1:17 |

40 | Is Jesus God? | John 1:1 | userdoe217 | 10609 | ||
Please allow me quote from the New American Standard Bible the entire text as it appears in Ch.20:27-28 from John's Gospel: "Then he (Jesus) said to Thomas, "Reach here your finger, and see my hands, and reach here your hand, and put it into my side; and be not unbelieving, but believing." Thomas answered and said to him, "My Lord and my God!" 1. Please observe the mark of exclamation (!) at the end of the phrase. (Note: K.J.V. has removed the exclamation mark). 2. Please observe there was no question asked in the entire narration. Hence, the text which reads "Thomas answered" is inaccurate. 3. The last phrase "My Lord and my God!" was not an *answer* but an outburst of *exclamation* by Thomas, having seen something inexplicable and baffling. Often, we too cry out; "O' my God!" when we see something totally bizarre or grotesque. 4. To prove that the above explanation is not my concocted theory, below are the texts from two reputed versions of the Bible that support this theory. a. In the New English Bible it reads: Thomas said, "My Lord and my God!" b. In the Phillips Modern English Bible it reads: "My Lord and my God!" cried Thomas. |
