That’s a good point. “Come out from among them,” not just regarding false religious ideologies, but political ideologies too. The Bible informs us that one of the ways in which human governments are united, is in opposing God’s rulership / sovereignty, and not relinquishing their own. — Psalm 2:2

How’s that? The narrative tells us they’re in the Ark for over a year! If it were local, the narrative would have said a few days. Water drains off.

I appreciate your post. Since as you pointed, God is a soul, it couldn’t be something in the loins. God has none! Like with Adam (& God) & all of us, we each have our own character, personality, our awareness. Even animals are souls! Revelation 16:3 As Jesus pointed out at Matthew 10:28...

For those who are interested: The Bible does not say anywhere that soul and spirit are interchangeable, ie., the same. The Hebrew Scriptures use different words, “nep(h)es(h)” for “soul”, “ruach” for “spirit”. Same for the Gr. Scriptures: “psyché” for “soul”, “pneuma” for “spirit”. They mean...

You’ve been on here and other venues for quite a while, posting on different topics, but now this…. I’m really curious, did you just now see this? The Gospels are full of Jesus’ words, containing much symbolic, metaphoric & hyperbolic language. His sayings meant something. You don't like...

Death is sleep. John 11:11-14 Jesus was dead for “3 days.” After his resurrection, Jesus was to become the chief cornerstone (Isa.28:16) of the spiritual temple. Paul explained this in Hebrews. (8:1-5; 9:1-10:10)

Keep in mind…Jesus could read hearts. So He was aware of those who were sincere, at that time. (I say, “at that time”, because later their attitude could change.) In John 6: we have the incident where Jesus told those Jews that were following him (to get more food), “unless you eat my flesh...

Very useful!

Yeah, I once saw Ronald Reagan’s face in a potato chip. Then I saw Donald Trump’s. Same potato-chip company! It must have been Republican-owned.

No, you didn’t know him then; right? I’m thinking you weren’t informed of the entire story… all the details. I should have been more clear. It doesn’t make any sense to me based on experience. That’s because, we don’t harass those who’ve been disfellowshipped. Their own family might, though...

What? Are you sure? They don’t believe in the trinity.

Sorry, but this makes no sense. I’m guessing you didn’t know him when he was a JW. Did you?

“they couldn’t get to the door fast enough”? Come on, we go from door to door, and have no idea who’s on the other side…. You really think we’d be that inept? Let’s discuss some topics, then. I can use other Bibles just as well. I won’t argue Scripture, though. (2 Timothy 2:24) But i will...

Well, they are wrong. There’s no ‘climbing up the ranks’ to get included in the 144,000. Those ones are chosen by God… “bought from among mankind” to rule with Christ, as the Bible describes. We only strive to follow / imitate Christ, and the vast majority wish to live here on Earth, forever...

You mean like, how the church’s leaders burned people at the stake, and how, since its inception, joined the states in their conflicts, even starting their own wars? Catholics killing Catholics, simply because of ideology or geography? That’s not Christianity! You actually think Jesus has...

Thanks, @Johann ! I wasn’t about to go over it again with F2F. His unreasonable & arrogant attitude abrades me. Take care, my cousin!

Oh grief! Amazing! Mark 1:24 is one account. Look up the others.

Peter used the word, lol. In the Bible.

So who are the demons, who spoke to Jesus?

I see you misrepresenting what she is saying. You’re using sweeping generalizations. Quite inappropriate strawmen. Are you doing that on purpose? Because if you’re not, then I have some oceanfront property in Arizona, I’d like to sell you.
