    Unity of the faith - at what cost?

    The unity of the faith is necessary for the real unity that the people of God enjoy. Eph. 4:4 One body there is, and one spirit, even as YOU were called in the one hope to which YOU were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all [persons], who is over all and...

    Unity of the faith - at what cost?

    There is a people of more than 8 millions on earth that have embraced one truth: Jehovah's witnesses. How we did it? Because the people that Jesus really owns is here. It is impossible to guide persons who think they don't need to learn anything because they think they are anointed with the...

    Unity of the faith - at what cost?

    That "no internal difference of belief is bad as long as everyone is at peace" position is misleading. It leads people in a direction contrary to that of Jesus: to the hope of the kingdom, which is truth and justice. That position leads to ecumenism, IMO, and ends up accepting any belief and...

    The "other" resurrection

    I have the impression that I am wasting time trying to communicate with a programmed machine... Out of respect for my God and the Scriptures, I am not going to continue in this kind of dialogue and I am forced to ignore this nick from now on. I consider that programming machines to fake...

    The Kingdom of God in Christ

    In the Bible the Greek word for PRESENCE (παρουσίας) is used to refer to Jesus enthroned, having received his royal power, and watching over the earth carrying out his Father's purpose for his loyal ones on earth and the rest of the world. For a period of time he remains acting indirectly on...

    The "other" resurrection

    If you consider other's understanding false, why do you think yours is not? It looks like you want to make dissapear other's biblical analysis to impose yours. Sorry, but that won't work with some of us. I guess it may be useful for your church though. παρουσίας is correctly translated as...

    Is there a difference in " FALSE " teaching & error in teaching ?

    I wasn´t talking about your doctrine of a Triune Godhead ... I was talking about Jesus and his resurrection ... but it is Ok if you don't like that topic either. Anyway, the thread is supposed to be about why there are so many diferent ways to interpret the Scriptures and how to learn the truth...

    Is there a difference in " FALSE " teaching & error in teaching ?

    Neither I am. I was trying to help you reason in what the Bible says ... but if you think that can harm you, it is your right not to talk about the truth. You have your right, and your left coffee: Have a wonderful weekend.

    Soul Sleep yes or no?

    Peter says: 2 Pet. 1:5 (...) by YOUR contributing in response all earnest effort, supply to YOUR faith virtue, to [YOUR] virtue knowledge, 6 to [YOUR] knowledge self-control, to [YOUR] self-control endurance, to [YOUR] endurance godly devotion, 7 to [YOUR] godly devotion brotherly affection, to...

    Is there a difference in " FALSE " teaching & error in teaching ?

    Tell me, @Johann : if there was one Jesus resurrecting another one, How many Jesuses would there really be?

    The "other" resurrection

    Why it is correct to translate the word ἐξανάστασις as "early resurrection" in Phil. 3:11? This is an interesting explanation the Biblical Encyclopedia of the JWs "Insight" says in the topic RESURRECTION/First Resurrection here https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200003709 : The apostle Paul...

    The "other" resurrection

    I guess you don't know what I meant with PAROUSIA. That is the Greek word we can see in most biblical texts talking about Jesus' presence; some versions translate "coming". It is interesting how you negate what the Scriptures say. I guess you used to sermon others who do not know what the...

    Is there a difference in " FALSE " teaching & error in teaching ?

    Thank you for sharing the way you understand this issue. I don't agree, since I don't believe there are two Jesuses in heaven: one that died and the other one who resurrected him. There is one Jesus, and he is the one who said "I became dead, but look! I am living" in Rev. 1:18. Rev. 2:8 “And...

    Is there a difference in " FALSE " teaching & error in teaching ?

    Friend Johann, did you get the point? This translation problem greatly changes the interpretation of the passage. It is very important to correctly understand what Jesus said, so as not to invent ideas that are not in the Bible. It is not the same to say "I have permission to receive my life...

    Is there a difference in " FALSE " teaching & error in teaching ?

    Maybe you should read the whole Scriptures more often to get a better understanding.

    Is there a difference in " FALSE " teaching & error in teaching ?

    There is a translation issue with the Greek text here in John 10:17,18. The Greek verb λαμβάνω that is translated in this expression "I may TAKE it AGAIN" means also RECEIVE. It is not logical to translate it "to take again", since a dead person can't do anything for his dead body. If there...

    The "other" resurrection

    That's an interesting idea, thanks for sharing what you think. However, according to the texts that speak of the first resurrection, it only occurs during the PAROUSIA of Christ, and not before (1 Cor. 15:23; 1 Thess. 4:15,16; 2 Thess. 2:1). After 25 years as a Christian missionary, Paul wrote...

    Soul Sleep yes or no?

    The Christian brotherhood that God accepts is not how we want it to be, but how God wants it to be (John 4:23,24). Pedophiles would like there to be a brotherhood/sorority that would not claim them for their acts, and also drunkards, and liars... Just as the Devil would like religious lies to...
