    Who did Jesus Die a Ransom for?

    Justice is not a "who" Justice is a what. God demanded Justice. Adam paid the price for his sin, which was death, but in order to redeem Adam, Justice demanded a ransom, a life for a life. Adam brought sin and death to the world, Jesus brought life and redemption.

    ALONE

    ALONE It is human to stand with the crowd; it is divine to stand alone. It is man-like to follow people, to drift with the tide. It is God-like to follow a principle, to stem the tide. It is natural to compromise conscience and follow social and religious fashions for the sake of gain or...

    Why Are You A Christian?

    I'm not judgmental. We're told that "many are called, and few are chosen" (Matthew 20:16; 22:14) Yep

    Who did Jesus Die a Ransom for?

    Colossians 1:15 tells us "he is the firstborn of all creation." In Genesis we read, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth," we are to remember that this beginning relates not to the universe, but merely to our planet. Then it was that "the morning stars sang together" and all...

    Who did Jesus Die a Ransom for?

    I differ with my JW friends about the role of Jesus in God's Plan of Salvation. I DO believe Jesus is a created being, the FIRST and ONLY direct creation of YHWH, as Colossians tells us, EVERYTHING was created by The WORD aka Jesus. YHWH told Him what He wanted, and Jesus created it. Space...

    Who did Jesus Die a Ransom for?

    Continuing this conversation @Johann An abundance of Scriptures disprove the Trinity, so one need not be a Greek scholar. In fact, going to a university and studying Greek does not give one Biblical understanding. Theological seminaries tend to brainwash their students on the subject of the...

    Who did Jesus Die a Ransom for?

    Hi Johann, I'm not affiliated with the JW's and while I disagree with some of their doctrinal beliefs, we agree on John 1:1. Most translations render it In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Diaglott interlinear reads, “In a beginning was the Word...

    Why Are You A Christian?

    Why? Because the Lord called me, and who am I to say "no!" to God?

In your seed...

    Simply ... YES

    Who will occupy the land of Israel in Paradise earth?

    Well, if you looked at the actual Greek word in those verses, you'll see that they are PANTON and PAS. The point is as you stated, Jesus died for ALL, PAST and PRESENT. How can those before Jesus 1st advent benefit from His ransom, if they never knew him? You're right, "not all are going to...

    Who did Jesus Die a Ransom for?

    But how can we learn from one another, when one is not providing the Scriptural proofs for what they believe? Simply saying "it's this way" and nothing more is not learning.

    Who did Jesus Die a Ransom for?

    I dismissed Bob because he didn't give me any scriptural reasoning.

    Who will occupy the land of Israel in Paradise earth?

    Strong's uses 3956 for all their usages of the word ALL. But a careful look at any interlinear will show that they are different words. For instance in 1 Timothy 2:6 the word for ALL is designated #3956 PANTON. In Matthew 27:25 and Luke 21:38 it's PAS. In fact when you look at Luke 21:3, 12, 17...

    Who will occupy the land of Israel in Paradise earth?

    What part of ALL don't you understand Jane??? Not quite. I think you'll agree that had the Nation od Israel as a whole had accepted Jesus as their Messiah, both the Kingdom on earth and the Kingdom of heaven would have been ruled by Jews. This is seen in YHWH's promise to Abraham in Genesis...
