Greetings Spiritual Israelite, Perhaps you forgot the following and many other prophecies: Isaiah 2:1–4 (KJV): 1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. 2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in...

Greetings FinnleyGraves, Firstly, I believe that Jesus died as our representative, not our substitute. Adam sinned and he was sentenced to return to the dust because of his sin, and God also passed this sentence on to his descendants. God gave birth to Jesus, the Son of God, not a Deity, a...

Greetings David in NJ, The Angel of Yahweh who speaks and acts on behalf of the One God, Yahweh, God the Father. No man has seen nor can see God. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings David in NJ, Yahweh was in heaven, but he spoke to Moses through his angel. Exodus 3:1–2 (KJV):1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. 2 And the...

Greetings again David in NJ, By believing the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and the Name of Jesus Christ and identifying with his representative death and resurrection by baptism in water for the forgiveness of sins Acts 8:5-6,12. To maintain this status, we must then live the crucified and...

Greetings again David in NJ, No. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings Berean, It will be interesting to see how you elaborate on this aspect of GRACE. The following seems to indicate that GRACE is bestowed on those who believe. Romans 3:21-26 (KJV): 21But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the...

Greetings David in NJ, Jesus when he returns will save the faithful who are alive from the first death and grant them immortality. Jesus will save the faithful that are already dead by raising them out of death and will grant them immortality. Daniel 12:1-3 (KJV): 1And at that time shall...

Greetings Brakelte, This is a long running thread, but I will answer your post directly. Jesus suffered and died the human death that was passed on to Adam and his descendants, not the second death. He was resurrected from this death. Those who believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus...

Greetings again PS95, I consider that this is the destiny of the vast majority of mankind. They return to the dust forever. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings PS95, Perhaps I do not understand the JW view on this, but the wages of sin is death. Death is the payment for sin. This is NOT forgiveness of our sins, but the outworking of our sins. This does not in any way guarantee a resurrection. Romans 6:19–23 (KJV): 19 I speak after the...

Greetings again WPM and Spiritual Israelite, Here we go again, patting each other on the back to give you some encouragement to support your shallow arguments. Do you both feel insecure? I agree. This is a very shallow assessment of what a normal Premil believes, perhaps especially my...

Greetings again Aunty Jane, My first encounter with JWs was at my parents' front door when I was 16. In that discussion I disagreed with one of their views, but was impressed by what was expressed by the senior member on one issue. As a result of what he said I walked about 1 mile from Bexley...

Greetings again Aunty Jane and Greetings David Lamb, The role of firstborn speaks of status, not time. Isaac supplanted Ishmael, Jacob supplanted Esau. Psalm 89:25–29 (KJV): 25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. 26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father...

Greetings again Aunty Jane, I do not accept his pre-existence. His conception was the start of his life. I consider that the Wise Woman "Wisdom" in Proverbs 8 and note it is "she", is a personification of God's wisdom and character. I consider the "us" and "our" of Genesis 1:26 is the One God...
