Look It Up

Reference

Every list in one place: supposed contradictions, misused verses, prophecies, names, parables, creeds, and the rest. With no section picked you see all of them. Pick one or more sections to narrow it, then filter by words, verse, kind, or tag. Unroll a row for the answer.

Looking for a word? The Glossary has its own page, and so does The Covenants with its teaching.

Texts still ahead: His return, the trouble before the day, the dead raised, the judgment, Israel and the nations, His reign, and the new earth. Each entry holds one text with the verses that say the same thing. Debated texts are marked, and so are a few where some readers see a beginning already. This is a separate list from the first coming, and it does not argue for one end-times system.
