You have been given many proofs. Christ is never referred to as an Angel. If Michael the Archangel is Jesus Christ, then there are 2 names by which we can be saved. One could confess Jesus as Lord or Michael as Lord. If these individuals are identical, they would be interchangeable. We must...

We have gone through all this on the other thread. Different individuals using the same phrase does not mean the individuals are the same person. If Michael the Archangel is Jesus Christ, then there are 2 names by which we can be saved. Acts 4:11,12 This Jesus is ‘the stone you builders...

None of these names in Hebrew prove the person is God. Michael “Who is like God?” Malachi “God’s angel/messenger” Jeremiah “Yahweh will exalt," "Yahweh has uplifted," or "Yahweh loosens". Isaiah “Yahweh is salvation," "the Lord is salvation," or “God saves”. Ezra “help of God”. Hezekiah...

Wonderful topic, Van. Thanks for posting this! Manna is described in the Bible as a white, coriander-like seed substance that tasted like wafers with honey. It is widely believed to be a natural, sweet, crystallized secretion (or "honeydew") from scale insects feeding on the sap of tamarisk...

You quoted the same verse I quoted.

Do you understand what you admitted to? Try to murder my family, you die. Murder people I do not know, you should not die. So one type of murder deserves the death penalty imposed by you, but the other type of murder does not deserve the death penalty imposed by the state. Thus you do support...

An intruder who poses an immediate lethal threat to your family, you will kill. A murderer who ended the life of a stranger, you will not support the death penalty to be imposed upon them.

How are they different? An intruder in your home who tries to harm your family is just more personal than a murderer who harms some stranger. Both are criminals. You will kill the first one, but will not support the death penalty execution of the second one.

He, Jesus Christ, does not just have fellows, He is exalted above them all, rather than merely being one of the chief ones, like Michael is described. Psalm 45:7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Here are some verses that point toward eternal security: John 5:24 NIV “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.” Romans 11:29 NIV for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable...

But the point is that Jehovahs Witnesses, who deny the deity of Jesus Christ, also claim that Jesus and Michael the archangel are the same person. The idea seems to be part of their misinterpretation of Christ, claiming He is less than God the Son, the Only Begotten God. The fact that some...

While I cannot endorse all the rituals, icon veneration, and other practices of Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox churches, the stripping of all traditions and symbols leaves a church as a bland entity that resembles a positive thinking seminar with lecture-driven religious overtones. Some...

Capital punishment is an essential element of justice. On the whole, the full range of biblical data weighs in its favor. Genesis 9:6 “Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.” Society should not execute capital offenders merely for the...

It is easy to see who is a genuine Christian, and who is a fake churchian, by how they interact with others in serious biblical discussions.

Another version of Hillsong “Even When It Hurts”.

Taya Smith has an angelic voice. I heard this song on WBNH radio, a Moody affiliate, last night and it really impressed me. One of the sweetest songs I have ever heard. We praise God, even when it hurts, in the midst of trouble, anguish, confusion, pain, and suffering. It is a shame that the...

Jesus commanded people to repent and believe the gospel, so this is something that unsaved individuals can do. Mark 1:15 And saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” “Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift...

I do not think it is unifying to condemn traditions of other Christian denominations. Setting apart certain days or time periods for fasting, self-examination, and prayers is a nice expression of faith and separation from the world. I would not call such traditions “man made fantasies”. Nor...
