I completely agree, which is why God takes a different route sometimes in order to accomplish his purpose. The “nations” were never supposed to be divided up in the earth and speaking languages foreign to one another, as all were originally to be brothers and sisters working togehter to tend...

It’s amazing what people miss when they read the Bible’s accounts…. God’s adversary was manifested in Eden right at the very beginning…..He wasn’t just allowed in the garden…he was stationed there as a “covering cherub”…a guardianship position which carried great responsibility. Ezekiel 28...

I believe that God’s Omniscience is something he can engage or not. Giving humans free will means that he cannot interfere with their choices….so it appears that he had contingencies worked out no matter what choices they made….it could have gone so many ways…he did not need to know their...

I don’t believe that God ever intended the world to be divided into “nations”……there was only one “race” in the beginning and nothing in God’s plans for “the human race” implied otherwise. As was mentioned, all “races” descended from Noah’s sons…..still one genetically related group, who spoke...

Yes, as it has always been from the beginning of man’s life in the world that satan and his dupes created for us, through no fault on our part….God has always been “one”…..with “one truth” and “one way“ to God through the agency of his precious son. All roads do not lead to the kingdom of God...

Sorry @JustMe I didn’t realize that you were listed as “other faith”. Thank you for the detailed response….I was waiting to see if you wanted to add more…. 2 Cor 5:14-21 is a passage of scripture that explains a lot about “reconciliation”…..and why we need it….we do not hear this word often...

According to Greek grammar as in English, “the” (“ho”) is the means by which we identify something or someone specifically…..so, referring to satan as “THE god” (ho theos) “of this world” identifies him as the god of choice for the masses of mankind who worship satan under so many different...

Jesus came in the flesh as OT Scripture said he would…..a man.….born of a Jewish virgin, who would liberate his people, establish his Kingdom, and become the ruler of the world! Jesus did not fulfill this description, so the Jews rejected him…..what some came to realize later, was that Jesus...

I like the context of this Scripture…..can we explore it?….as it helps us see what Paul was talking about…. 2 Cor 5:14-21….. ”For the love the Christ has compels us, because this is what we have concluded, that one man died for all; so, then, all had died. 15 And he died for all so that those...

I was saying that JW’s have more in common with Jewish monotheism than we do with any of Christendom’s teachings. I know a lot about the sad tales in other denominations as well….why single us out? Are they all saints except us? It’s obviously personal with you too. Who are your brotherhood...

That is the “who”…..I think I explained the “why” and the “how”….details are important, which is why I include them…. The topic Police are on the job….a new thread is a good option…..please feel free to start one.

Because without Scripture it is personal opinion…..and what is that worth? How many opinions = truth? It is belief without substance.

@JustMe made this post on another thread and some deemed the subject to be worthy of a thread of its own…. So in answer to JustMe I asked…… Can you tell us how it is that all who claim these “senses” with “eyes” and “ears” of understanding…and with “experiences in spirit”, do not all hold to...

To be honest, JW’s have more in common with your Jewish monotheism than you might think….

You seem to lose control quite a bit actually... It’s not, but when you don’t tell the truth, that is a whole other thing to dump your emotional baggage here. Just mostly in everything you write….it’s your twisted version of what you think we believe….but it is patently obvious that you...

Read it in Greek….the first mention of “theos” is “ho theos”…..but the second mention has no definite article.…so just “theos”. According to Strongs Concordance “theos“ doesn’t just mean God (capital “G”) Greek does not have an indefinite article, but English translations are full of them, so...

Thank you for including me….nice to know that not everyone wants a lynching for off topic discussion….:Thumbsup: Since sin was a barrier that prevented anyone from approaching God personally after the fall, he appointed a mediator, whom the apostle Paul identified as the one they knew as “the...

Yes, just as the devil, Adam and his wife had free will to make a decision that had nothing to do with God predetermining them. If God planned for the world to get this bad, because of the predetermined choices they made, and to have so much suffering among the human race…..what does that say...

He can, but being made in his image, means that we are also endowed with free will….otherwise the TKGE makes no sense. It was a choice to eat from that tree. Adam made that choice and threw all of his children under the bus. That is extremely vague….why did anyone need to be “born again”? And...

That makes no logical sense…..Jesus sent his disciples out to preach about his kingdom and how to gain salvation….if it was predetermined, what was the point? And was this disciple making work to stop? What did Jesus commission his disciples to do after his return to heaven? Matt 28:18-20…...
