Before we continue, and before we leave this topic for awhile, I think it’s important that we all work from the same idea of this doctrine. So, here’s the view expressed by most Christian theologians. CLICK HERE. You can see that the Trinity is considered fundamental, essential and the distinctive difference between Christianity and other…
The Lord says to my Lord: “Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.” Psalm 110:1 NASB Lord/Lord – Sometimes reading a verse in English translation does nothing but confuse the real meaning. Such is the case here. Furthermore, since Yeshua quotes this verse in Psalm 110 in…
OK, so we have raised a lot of questions and, from the comments posted, caused a lot of people to think, get upset, get confused, get frustrated, wonder, be relieved, or something other than “so what”. But where does this leave us? Here’s my summary so far (and we aren’t done yet, but we do…
And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone. Mark 10:18 NASB Before we look at this verse today, let me ask you this: Does your relationship with God depend on the doctrine we are investigating, or does it continue with or without the doctrinal conclusions?…

“If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained.” John 20:23 NASB APOLOGY: Yesterday there was no TW posted, principally due to the fact that by the time I realized that it wasn’t going out, I was on an airplane…
Simon Peter answered, “You are the [Messiah], the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:16 NIV The Son – Perhaps the single distinguishing doctrine of Christianity is the Trinity. No other monotheistic religion embraces this claim, i.e. that God exists as three persons in one being. In fact, until the fourth century, those who claimed…

And the LORD will be king over all the earth. On that day the LORD will be one and his name one. Zechariah 14:9 ESV That day – Can here be any doubt about which day is “that day”? It is the day when waters will flow from Jerusalem toward the East and toward the…
