    The answer of hell and its origins

    No that just shows how much you don't know about Jehovah's Witnesses

    The answer of hell and its origins

    Satan loves it when people are taught lies like a person doesn't die, and that Jesus wasn't dead for parts of three days,

    The answer of hell and its origins

    The JW's have always looked at the rich man Lazarus story as a parable.

    The answer of hell and its origins

    In this story of the rich man and Lazarus your taking the phrase, Bosom of Abraham symbolically, if you say its a place. So since you say in the rich man Lazarus story, the Bosom of Abraham is a place then that means you're taking the story symbolically, not literally.

    The answer of hell and its origins

    You looking at Bosom of Abraham as a place of comfort is being symbolic. You have been saying the rich man Lazarus story is to be taken literally. Well if Abrahams bosom is to be taken symbolic I'm going to take the rich man Lazarus story as a parable that is not to be taken literally.

    The answer of hell and its origins

    You believe what you want but I'm going to believe the scriptures that say Jesus was dead, not living, for parts of three days. You want to deny he was dead for parts of three days, that's your choice. When he was resurrected, he was resurrected with a immortal incorruptible spirit body and it...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    The simple truth in scripture is that human beings are souls, they don't have souls.

    The answer of hell and its origins

    Well like I said you go ahead and believe that the fir trees are literally speaking intelligent words but you won't convince me that the fir tress are literally speaking intelligent words. You may believe something like that but I know better to believe something like that. Its a proverbial...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    Yeah I believe you honestly believe the fir trees can literally talk too right? Isaiah 14:1-11 is a parable, a proverbial saying, Isaiah 14:4 tells us that. Parables or a proverbial saying is poetic language which represents inanimate things as speaking. Like at Isaiah 14 Verse 8 furnishes a...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    I understand that you honestly think that contradicting Genesis 2:7 and many other scriptures that say we are souls instead of having souls is what you call progressive teaching of the truth in scripture. I disagree, when it comes to progressive Bible truth, I don't believe any scripture...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    What 1 Peter 3:19 is stating is, in the state of being a immortal incorruptible spirit body Jesus preached to these spirits. Peter’s use of the past tense suggests that the preaching occurred before Peter wrote his first letter. It was sometime after his resurrection, Jesus made a proclamation...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    You can continue to disregard scripture which teach human beings are living souls, and instead continue to teach what others believe that human beings have living souls in their human bodies, but you and I are in disagreement. You have shown me nowhere in scripture or by your reasoning on...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    The first resurrection are those that will be kings, priests, and judges with Jesus in that heavenly Messianic kingdom. They will be resurrected with immortal incorruptible spirit bodies, just as Jesus was. These are the ones who have imperishable spirit bodies. Paul said at 1 Thessalonians...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    I disagree that other scriptures disagree with Genesis 2:7 or says something different from Genesis 2:7. It's the way you choose to reason on scripture that is wrong. At Genesis 2:7 God is showing us or teaching us, how he created human beings. That scripture isn't inaccurate or in error in any...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    That you said that above proves you don't have a clue about Jehovah's Witnesses. You want to take it literally? Ok. So this means that you believe that all the righteous can fit in the literal bosom of the literal human being named Abraham. Interesting.

    The Lazarus and rich man is a parable. It's not some historic event that happened.

    The answer of hell and its origins

    Those that are raised imperishable are not the unrighteous they are the righteous

    The answer of hell and its origins

    I didn't say that the righteous would receive punishment of any kind. At 1 Corinthians 15:51-57 Paul is talking about the resurrection of the righteous. I said that it was the unrighteous, meaning those that God has judged unworthy of a resurrection that would be thrown into the lake of fire...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    We know that Jesus was resurrected with a immortal, incorruptible spirit body because the scriptures tell us that Jesus sacrificed is perfect sinless human body, for mankind. He didn't take that sacrifice back which he would have done if he was resurrected with a perfect sinless human body...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    I know you are not going by scripture but what a imperfect human or group of imperfect human beings have told you, which is that human beings have living souls or living persons in their human bodies,you're not going by scripture that says human beings are souls. Jesus resurrection was “in the...
