    Turning the Tide

    Too late…the vultures are about to try and devour all of us….it is written….but God will destroy the vultures and rescue his people….he promised.

    When Did Jesus Go to Egypt?

    No. When did the magi visit Jesus? They were not at the stable as those nativity scenes depict…..according to the time when the magi saw the star and the place where the child was to be born Herod calculated that the child by that time was about 2 years old….so he had all the male infants 2...

    What Does it Mean…..?

    It doesn’t really answer the questions I asked…. How can all those who claim to be “born again” be attached to denominations who teach different things. Christ’s disciples were to be united as one…..as Paul said….1 Cor 1:10… ”Now I urge you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ...

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    You have ignored the choosing of a new nation to serve God’s interests on earth. “The Israel of God” spoken about by the apostle Paul (Gal 6:16) was made up of both Jewish and gentile Christians……and this was written after those gentiles were accepted into the Christian arrangement, as it was...

    Who are the “other sheep” of John 10:16? (For Jehovah's Witnesses)

    I agree….when Solomon mentions what is “done under the sun”…he means in this world under our present state of being. Since the Jews did not have “immortal souls” mentioned in their Scripture, they adopted it later from pagan Greek influences…..Christendom too adopted this favorite lost puppy...

    What Does it Mean…..?

    LOL…..Genesis is a big book…..it contains a lot of interesting details. Actually you have that backwards…..it is because of satan’s rebellion that Adam was tempted by his wife. It was she who was tempted by the lies of the devil. Adam chose to eat of the fruit, but for a very different reason...

    What Does it Mean…..?

    It’s not uncommon to talk past each other in these forums…. I am not quite sure of what you mean here….”We are here as a part of God making manifest everything everyone ever believed from before the foundation of the world”…? Who is the “everyone” in “everything everyone ever believed”? And why...

    God’s name….

    Actually, Jesus is Yeshu’a and his name means “Yahweh is Salvation”. He is the means of salvation but not the source….which is the Father who sent him. (John 17:3) God’s name in Hebrew was lost because the Jews disobediently stopped using it. (Exodus 3:15) His name (WHWH, Yahweh/Jehovah)...

    What Does it Mean…..?

    I think we all know that…. but what about the other important questions?

    Who are the “other sheep” of John 10:16? (For Jehovah's Witnesses)

    Satan has always had the power to deceive…ever since he stepped out of his God-assigned role in the garden, and attempted a take over of the human race. With the creation of lower intelligent creatures, here was an opportunity to gain what he began to imagine…..in his magnificence, he desired...

    What Does it Mean…..?

    In all the instances of human suffering without the person doing anything deserving of such, God had a purpose. Even for our own suffering in this world. Joseph and Job are two outstanding examples (apart from our Lord Jesus, of course). In the case of Joseph and Job, (two imperfect men)...

    What Does it Mean…..?

    Paul’s words….. ”I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. (1 Cor 1:10 ESV) There were to be no divisions because there is one truth to which all...

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    You misunderstood…..satan is not called “Lucifer”, as I explained….only Bibles based on the KJV use that name for satan. Look it up in other translations…. The King of Tyre also emulated satan in his proud arrogance….(Ezekiel 28:13-17) Not exactly….sheol is not a place where satan can go…..it...

    What Does it Mean…..?

    This “sword” was also referring to the prophesy in Psalm 110:1-2…4-6…ESV ”The LORD says to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.” The LORD sends forth from Zion your mighty scepter. Rule in the midst of your enemies! . . . .The LORD has sworn and will not...

    What Does it Mean…..?

    Yes…but it is a united body, not a dismembered one, with bits of Jesus spread all over the world in different denominations, who are at odds with each other. (1 Cor 1:11) That is where the problem lies……does the Christ exist divided? Where is the “one Lord, one faith, one baptism”? It does not...

    Who are the “other sheep” of John 10:16? (For Jehovah's Witnesses)

    @shepherdsword both of those “takes” on the meaning of the scriptures mentioned are opinions….like scholars, they are a dime a dozen…. To render “world” as “age” is misleading when we research the meaning of the word used there…”aiōn” It means…… “for ever, an unbroken age, perpetuity of time...

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    Of course, as Adam said…she had to “become the mother of everyone living”. (Gen 3:20) As ancient servants of God proved faithful and obedient, even when God asked difficult things of them….what excuse did Israel have? It wasn’t that they had no good examples…. Noah was asked to build an...

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    For starters I cannot see where the devil is ever called Lucifer in the Bible. The Hebrew word translated “Lucifer” means “shining one.” The Septuagint uses the Greek word that means “bringer of dawn.” Hence, some translations render the original Hebrew “morning star” or “Daystar.” But Jerome’s...

    Who are the “other sheep” of John 10:16? (For Jehovah's Witnesses)

    The use of capital letters is misleading, because there is no upper and lower case in Greek….so using capital ”G” when the definite article is missing is mistranslation. It isn’t as if they do not know the meaning of the word “theos” as is demonstrated in this one verse….it’s the use of the...

    What do you think was God`s Purpose in making - the Nations, Israel and the Body of Christ?

    God’s purpose in creating humankind on this earth will ultimately be fulfilled. Allowing all that he offered to Adam and his wife to be restored…..they threw away the gift of life and suffered a death from which they will never be resurrected, but thanks to the sacrifice of Jesus, their children...
