Why don’t we apply to John 14:2 what the Lord revealed through the three messages in His Word? The letter or the literal meaning: This is the clear meaning that people can understand from the words of God. The physical meaning: It is perceived through the senses. In other words, it can be...

What you said is very beautiful. It goes back to the relationship between the groom and the bride, who in the future will become husband and wife. God has revealed something about this, and perhaps it can be applied to our question about God in John 14:2.

I would like to bring the question back to God once again: Why did the Lord Jesus say that in His Father’s house there are many mansions? This is a well-known passage that is widely preached to people. We can hear their shouts of joy and excitement as they celebrate while this passage is...

We are those who have come to know the one true God. We acknowledge that the Lord speaks in parables or dark sayings. One example is when He said, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up” (John 2:19). The Lord said these words while they were in the temple. Therefore, the...

What God desires in His Word is both knowledge and wisdom. We cannot have knowledge alone without wisdom. Knowledge is what we have learned, whereas wisdom is the application of the knowledge we have gained. It is possible to have knowledge without wisdom. However, you cannot have wisdom...

I cannot leave out the statement, “We who have come to know the one true God,” because it is the truth. This is how we testify to the truth expressed in Ecclesiastes 1:9 and Matthew 24:35. What you are saying now is no different from what the Jews were saying to the Lord Jesus. "Please stop...

The issue we are discussing is clear. Because Judas fell away, he needed to be replaced so that the number of apostles could once again be twelve. You were the one who said that two more became apostles, Matthias and Paul. That is why I said it could not be two, because only one person was...

What we are discussing is Ephesians 4:11. The question is: Who appoints or chooses the people mentioned in this verse—the human beings, or the Lord Jesus? Although the word “apostle” is not explicitly mentioned in the passages you cited regarding those whom the Lord chose, Andrew, Thomas...

What the Lord declared in John 20:29 reveals an important truth concerning human understanding, which is often limited to what can be seen and understood in a literal and physical sense. Thus, when the Lord said, “Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed,” He was referring to...

If that is the case, then the one appointed by the Lord to replace Judas was Paul, while Matthias was rejected because it was men who appointed him, not the Lord. GALATIANS 1:1 1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the...

Do not say that there were two replacements when it is very clear that there was only one, because the person being replaced was Judas alone.

The reason you understand the events of Noah’s time only as a story that happened in the Old Testament is because you see them primarily from a literal and historical perspective. But we who have come to know the one true God understand that these things are not merely stories. Everything...

The apostles prayed, “Thou, Lord… show whether of these two Thou hast chosen,” and then they cast lots—a method used only when the decision was placed entirely in God’s hands. Luke then writes, without hesitation, “the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.” This...

It seems like we are just going around in circles with your question. But for the lost sheep who may be reading this, this is my answer: In answer to your question, my answer is yes. And this is not true only for me; it applies to all those whom God has chosen. All of these commandments have...

As evidence, could you give me a Bible verse that explicitly identifies Matthias as an apostle?

Based on your own understanding of the Word of God, it would not be surprising if you concluded that the Lord commanded Solomon alone to build Him a house or a dwelling place. However, we who have come to know the one true God understand that this command was not given to Solomon alone, but to...

In the clear and literal understanding of people, the Word of God is understood in a physical and literal sense. However, the Lord said that His words are spiritual, as stated in John 6:63. Therefore, when people understand the Word of God only according to its literal and physical meaning...

As I understand what you said, the Lord did not reject Matthias as Judas’s replacement. Am I understanding you correctly? If I am correct, what evidence or biblical testimony can you provide that the Lord accepted Matthias as Judas’s replacement?

The Lord said in John 3:12 that He speaks of earthly things so that we may understand heavenly things. Consider this earthly example: God alone is the one and only Teacher. All of us are His students, men and women, young and old. No one is exempt from being a student before God. Throughout...
