Does John 1:1 teach that Jesus is God?
John 1:1-2 is both mistranslated and misunderstood. “With God” is incorrect. The correct reading word-for-word is “towards the God.” This is the same Greek word “towards” (“pros”) used in John 1:29 [King James], “The next day, John sees Jesus coming towards [i.e., unto] him.” Of the 99 uses of “pros” in John’s Gospel, it is [...]
Why is the Bible the holy, inspired word of God? Why not others books? 2 Timothy 3:16 says all scripture is inspired by God. What does it mean by "all"? Why include Revelation when it was written after 2 Timothy? Who decided to name certain books as the Old Testament and the New Testaments?
In 2 Timothy 3:16, “all scripture is inspired by God,” the verb “is” does not appear in the text but is understood (as is common in the case of the verb “to be” in classical languages). Hence this scripture should properly be read as “all scripture inspired by God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, [...]
Does God have a physical form, or is it unseen divine energy filled with intelligence which created all?

In Titus 2:5, the Bible teaches that wives should obey their husbands. But how or why should a woman obey when her husband is not acting like a good Christian spouse and father?
1 Peter 3:1-2 (NASB), “In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior.” Submissive is Strong’s Greek word #5293 [...]
The breath of man and beast are the same. But in Ecclesiastes 3:21, why does one go upward and another go downward to the earth?
“For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same. As one dies so dies the other; indeed, they all have the same breath and there is no advantage for man over beast, for all is vanity. All go to the same place (the grave). All came from the [...]
What is the power, the impact and the growth of the Holy Spirit?
The major work of God’s holy spirit right now is the development of the church class (also called the bride of Christ). This is a tremendous work. God is taking natural, sinful people and through His mighty power and our obedience to His will is changing us into the character image Jesus. It would be [...]
