Does Jesus ever show up in the Old Testament?
An old heresy of the Church was that Jesus was just an angel before Bethlehem, or that He did no exist before His conception. Yet, the Son of God is co-eternal with the Father. At conception, the Logos put humanity onto His Deity. That is, He added a human nature to His Divine nature so that He held two natures in perfect harmony yet as one person. He was and is always God the Son, Jehovah God of the Covenant.

What is the One Flesh Union?

Genesis 2:24
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Matthew 19:
5And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Ephesians 5:

When I was younger I use to attend baptist church services. Baptist have a belief that the moment you pass on from this world that you would automatically see the face of GOD that's if you are a born again believer ." Which I was bapitized in 1983 " . The question is at the moment of death would you see GOD'S face. And where is it in the scriptures.

"Obeying the Golden Rule"

(Matthews 22:36-40)

Most of us have known the Golden Rule since childhood: "we are to treat others the way we want to be treated."

And for young children, this standard seems to make sense. It is logical to share if you want others to share with you, and to avoid hitting because you wouldn't like being on the receiving end.

Why did Jesus claim to be the King of The Jews, when it was they who were going to crucify Him. Why didn't He claim to be the King of His followers, when it was they who were the ones that would stick by Him, no matter what the cost.

The basic principles Jesus gives us are in Mat. 6:6(NIV) -"But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

Here we see five (5) principles for a prayer.

1. Make time to pray - "when you pray"
2. Have a place to pray - "go into your room"
3. Have privacy - "close the door"
4. Pray to God only - "pray to your Father" (Specific Person-why? People pray to other idols and gods). "Our Father in Heaven" Matthew 6:9

“Why do you King James only people attack the word of God?”

I have been involved in many Christian internet forums over the years and have discussed whether or not there really is a complete, inspired and inerrant Bible in any language with many Christians.

When people begin to discuss the Bible version issue, many Christians become uncomfortable and then they get angry. Passions are stirred about this single topic more than any other. Some forums will not even allow discussions about the inerrancy of the Scriptures or the King James Bible to be discussed.
