The Lord is SO great and mighty and pure and holy, and we are so much the opposite. Our utter unworthiness is keenly felt in light of His utter worthiness. I think the soul in "seeing" God feels it's just deserts and senses how easily the Lord could squash us like a bug if He so willed. The...

I dont' understand the need to be fixated on anything belonging to this world. We are told to fix our eyes on what is unseen, not on what is seen. We are all going to die, this life is so short....what need will we have for any kind of physical temple in a physical location after this little...

All I know is what the scriptures say. Jesus taught that His kingdom is not of this world. The Jews were expecting an earthly utopia and that the messiah/king would be a strong military leader to deliver them from their earthly oppressors and that He would have an earthly reign. This belief...

Get rid of fairy tales and fables...I agree! We have been trying to force earlier scriptures to fit Revelation by wresting and twisting them, instead of interpreting Rev in light of all the earlier scrips. Rev is a reiteration of many earlier scriptures. The thousand year reign ends with...

Everything will be burned up at the coming of the Lord. We are not looking for a city or country that is here below....here we have no continuing city. All our thoughts, hopes, affections and aspirations are to be ABOVE.....on what is unseen, not what is seen. We look for a NEW heavens/earth.

Here is how He will come, ,to be glorified in His temple not made with hands, ie, in His Body, the church/ekklesia: 2Th 1:7-12 and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not...

Scripture also says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of..................

Amen. The JW's seem to use a weak, sickly, watered down translation that was made to support the false doctrines of their cult.

Just posting this lovely gem for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear: Jhn 17:3-8 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And...

Thank you brother.....it is awful to see, and discouraging at times.

You can take it any way you want to, like you do the rest of scripture.

You should ask the Lord yourself, IF you know Him. (And that's a really big "if" where JW's and RC's are concerned. Though increasingly among Protestants too sadly, in this time of falling away.) The natural man cannot perceive the things of God for they are spiritually discerned.

Yes you should stop. People without the Holy Spirit helping them, see contradictions.........I don't.

It's all over the scriptures FOR THOSE WHO HAVE EYES TO SEE IT. It's hid to everyone else though...especially to those who make themselves enemies of God and keep on batting for the wrong team. Mind boggling.

Amen, it's clear in scripture that God is Saviour. And what does it mean that Jesus is LORD? The Lord is God!

See how beautifully and poetically in spiritual language the Holy Spirit inspired scriptures puts things: "Without controversy how great is the mystery of Godliness: God was manifest in the flesh…" "I have been with you all this time and you still do not know me…? If you have seen me you have...

It is everywhere implied in scripture WHO Jesus Christ is, without being CRASSLY stated. We have people here insisting on crassness rather than relying on the Holy Spirit for discernment and understanding. "He being in the form of God did not consider equality with God something to be grasped...

I dont expect you to understand this, but you're in error already if you think everything has to be explicitly stated in scripture. There are reasons why things are hid from some and revealed to others. (eg, if the devil had known.....he would not have crucified the Lord of glory). Jesus said...

God calleth those things which be not as though they are. That is spiritual truth....for those who have spiritual eyes and ears to see and hear it.....spiritual understanding.

The simple truth is hid from you apparently.
