The term "Son of Man" has two meanings in the Bible: It deals with Jesus as divine and people as humans. In reference to Jesus, it describes His divine purpose, ministry, authority, and deity. In reference to people, it is used simply as a form of address of...
The Bible does not say that Jesus did or did not get sick. So, we can't say for sure either way. However, we can explore the two possibilities: yes, He got sick, and no, He did not get sick. We know that Jesus was subject to the human condition. He got tired (John...
Did Jesus sin by telling the disciples to take a donkey in Matt. 21:1-3, Mark 11:2-3; Luke 19:30–32? There are two main reasons why He did not. First, since Jesus is God in the flesh (John 1:1, 14; Col. 2:9; Heb. 1:8), the Scriptures about God owning everything...
Did Jesus commit suicide? No, He did not desire to die and intentionally perform an action upon Himself that caused His death. He did not nail Himself to a cross. Nevertheless, some say that He willingly went to the cross, and by not stopping what would happen, He...
Quite a few people were present at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, maybe as many as 100 (see below). There was a large crowd of people (Luke 23:27), the women who accompanied Jesus (Luke 23:49), Mary Jesus' Mother, Mary's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary...

Can people actually see Jesus today? Though I don't find anything in the Bible that says it will happen, I also don't find anything that says it can't. In my opinion, I believe it is possible. Now, when I say it's possible, that doesn't mean it happens all the time or...
The question "If Jesus is God, why don't we need a mediator between Him and God?" has been asked to attack the deity of Christ and refute the doctrine of the Trinity. But it demonstrates a lack of clarity because the term 'god' is used twice in the question with two...
Yes, Jesus did feel pain when He was crucified. We know this because when Jesus was going about doing His ministry, He was (and still is) both man and God (John 1:1, 14; Col. 2:9). This teaching concerning His human and divine natures is called the hypostatic union....
Why did the Magi bring gold, frankincense, and myrrh to Jesus after His birth? Is there significance to those three things? We don't know for sure. But, we can propose some ideas. It was common to bring gifts to dignitaries and important people (1 Kings 10:2; Psalm...
