Well, I know who is having a lend of you…..”the devil is female”?! And you have seen her? A spirit creature has gender? I think you just cancelled out any credibility that you think you had. Do we understand what gender is for? Do we understand why God presented himself and his son as “male”...

The ”commentary” you are denying, is a widely held and respected source of reference.…Strongs Concordance. The only mindless nonsense is from those who don’t know their Bible but like to pretend that they do. The same word is used to describe the physical heavens above and beyond the Earth’s...

OK @quietthinker ….Jehovah’s Witnesses are those who take the message (gospel, good news) of God’s Kingdom out to the people as Jesus instructed. (Matt 10:11-14; Matt 28:19-20; Matt 24:14) He commanded that it be done, so if you need me to tell you who Jehovah is and what he has done in the...

I think we all know what your agenda is with JW’s, @Berean …..you have an axe to grind and you must grind it on us because you cannot accept that we are living proof of what the Bible clearly reveals, as @Kiew said…we receive our “food at the proper time”…..”the faithful slave” is appointed by...

Yes…after more than 50 years of study, service and experience with my God, I can say in all honesty that I know him better today than I did 50 years ago. I have experienced his hand in my life more times than I can count….often in hindsight. It is actually a salvation issue…to “know the only...

According to 1 Kings 4:29-34….Solomon’s wisdom was God given. “And God gave Solʹo·mon wisdom and discernment in very great measure and a broadness of heart like the sand on the seashore. 30 Solʹo·mon’s wisdom surpassed the wisdom of all the people of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt. 31 He...

I agree, only the stubborn and incorrigibly disobedient will meet Jehovah head on….. Those who were thoroughly deceived may yet see the light as the incidents progress and Jehovah exposes the wickedness of this system of things to its greater depth…only Jehovah knows what is in a person’s heart...

But Scripture tells us that God‘s people always answered to a central authority….For Israel, it was Moses. For Christians, it was initially Jesus, who had his authority from his Father, but after his death it was the apostles who formed what was essentially a governing body in Jerusalem No one...

Indeed…..but it doesn’t seem to matter what Scripture says…..they will read it the way they want it to confirm their own ideas. I personally see what is plainly stated and what agrees with the rest of Scripture. ”Heaven“ is where God resides as Jesus stated in the Lord’s Prayer. If heaven is...

The preaching work was assigned by Jesus himself who said he would be “with” his disciples in that all important work, right to “the end”. It was not a recommendation….it was a command. (Matt 28:19-20; 24:14) Rom 10:14-15…. ”However, how will they call on him if they have not put faith in him...

Where did Solomon get his wisdom? What he wrote was not his wisdom, but God’s….right? “And God gave Solʹo·mon wisdom and discernment in very great measure and a broadness of heart like the sand on the seashore. 30 Solʹo·mon’s wisdom surpassed the wisdom of all the people of the East and all the...

There is no need to force anything when the Bible answers that question for us….no one went to heaven before Jesus (John 3:13)…..there it is. So because Elijah was still acting as a prophet to King Jehoram of Judah years later, it is clear that he was still on earth, still serving his God in the...

We have studied the book of Daniel quite deeply and it’s fascinating how the prophesies coincide with the times we are experiencing now. The march of world powers who held dominion over God’s people down through time, beginning with Babylon and ending with the current rulers of our day...

G’day Trevor….hope you have had an enjoyable day too….nice that we are in the same timezone and the same state. I am in southern NSW……what about you? Does your brotherhood have a name that identifies it from other churches? It’s a sad fact that humans always seem to want to ‘divide and conquer‘...

Did you read post #14? The explanation given was from the Bible and from Strongs Concordance…. The “heaven” mentioned in 2 Kings 2:11 is not “heaven” where God is, (Matt 6:9) but the “heavens” where birds fly….the “heavens” are also where the planets and stars are located that we see in the...

Are you reading the whole verse, or just the first part without recognizing what the second part says? ”For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that everyone who believes in him might not perish but have eternal life.” “Everyone who believes” in Jesus…..what does it mean to...

The year 1914 is calculated according to Daniel’s prophesy and each part of the sign fits that period of time perfectly….from the unprecedented warfare to the earthquakes and pestilences, the false prophets…..and to the love of the majority becoming cold and uncaring. Christians were to be...

In keeping with what is taught in the entirety of Scripture, I don’t have to “make” anything of them….I interpret them through the eyes of those who wrote them. The resurrection is a sure hope held out to all but the incorrigibly wicked, so because God can see the future as clearly as he sees...

Verse 10 is as vital as verse 5…and 6 for that matter…. From the Jewish Tanakh…. For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for their remembrance is forgotten. הכִּ֧י הַֽחַיִּ֛ים יֽוֹדְעִ֖ים שֶׁיָּמֻ֑תוּ וְהַמֵּתִ֞ים אֵינָ֧ם יֽוֹדְעִ֣ים...

Do you happen to do original language word studies at all, @TrevorHL ? We have translated the Greek according to the words written in that language. In Matthew the word “coming” (“erchomai”) is used because that is what is written in Greek......and it means..... “to come of persons to come from...
