Do Jehovah's Witnesses "deny the deity of Christ" ? No, for we fully recognize Jesus as "a god", but not "the God". Have you not read John 1:18 (as well verse 1 that shows Jesus as "a god"), in which it says: "No man has seen God at any time (which takes Jesus out of the picture, see also 1 John...

Yes, "good works", works that God requires, such as "stripping off the old personality with its practices" (Col 3:9), in which Galatians 5:19-21 says: "Now the works of the flesh are plainly seen, and they are sexual immorality (sex outside marriage, same-sex relationships, see Rom 1:25-27)...

For those who are to gain "life" (Matt 7:14), "works" is a requirement and always will be, for no one is granted "life" unless they prove loyal by obedience and remain as such. Does a home build itself and then maintain itself or does it requires "works" on the part of person ? The churches...

There have been billions of people that have had no opportunity to even know who God is from the beginning of man's creation some 6,000 years ago until now, such as the Indians of North and South America of centuries past or the Chinese or Mongolians, African tribes, etc. They had no contact...

Our Maker, Jehovah God, gives people a "second chance" now, when they fail to measure up to his holy standards. When David committed sexual immorality with Bathsheba (2 Sam 11:4), under the Mosaic Law he was to die.(Deut 22:22-24) However, due to David being truly remorseful, he was not put to...

Many who have died will be given a "second chance" by means of a resurrection from the dead, in which Jesus said: "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs (Greek mnemeion [meaning "a remembrance" or "any visible object for preserving or recalling...

Among mankind, Abel is the start of "a great cloud of witnesses" who put Jehovah God first by exercising faith in him (Heb 11:4; 12:1), in stark contrast to his brother Cain who later murdered him due to his seething anger.(Gen 4:2-8) Jesus is the utmost example of loyalty to Jehovah, telling...

The "tree of knowledge of good and bad" was a literal tree that produced fruit (Gen 2:16,17), just as the "tree of life" was a literal tree that produced fruit that granted it partakers life forever.(Gen 3:22) But "the tree of knowledge of good and bad" was created specifically by God (whose...

What causes depression ? We all get the "blues" from time to time, but major or chronic depression is that which takes a person down a "deep and dark road", often feeling there is no way out. There can be many factors, from physical to sexual to emotional to mental abuse or chemical imbalances...

God's Kingdom is not a republic, even in an extremely limited sense, for Jehovah will not allow any trace of human governmental thinking to be implemented in his perfect governmental system. For example, in making an altar to use in worship of Jehovah, Exodus 20 states that "if you make an altar...

To grasp what Jude was inspired to express (and the rest of the Bible), a reader has to always consider the context, not just one scripture (that can be taken out of context) but perhaps the entire chapter of even entire letter or book. So what was Jude, through God's spirit, telling his readers...

Blasphemy means injurious, defamatory or abusive speech and is used with regard to such speech whether directed toward God or humans, though the English word is usually restricted to to irreverent or abusive speech against God. At Mark 3 (and Matthew 12), Jesus heals a man with a "withered...

God's Kingdom or heavenly government is neither a republic - in which people elect representatives to exercise power for them - nor a democracy - whereby it is the free and equal right of every person to participate in a system of government - nor a dictatorship - in which God demands every ones...

You remind me of the illustration of the "Rich man and Lazarus", in which through this illustration (that showed that there would be a change of who had God's blessing (signified by the death of each), being taken away from "the rich man" or Jewish religious leaders who fed "Lazarus" or the...

The false religious doctrine of the trinity will keep popping up until "the great tribulation", at which time Jesus words will be fulfilled, after the completion of the preaching of "the good news of the Kingdom in all the inhabited earth, and then the end will come".(Matt 24:14) At Matthew...

What I would suggest is acquiring a Revised New World Translation (gray cover, not black) or just go to the JW website and download a PDF copy for a detailed, accurate analysis, and in which at the back, a person can see the different measurements, weights, and monies, as well many other...

Why is it that no one brings God's Kingdom into the picture concerning the solution to the immigration issue like Jesus taught his genuine disciples to do and that had its starting point in the garden of Eden with God's promise at Genesis 3:15 ? Jesus spoke of God's Kingdom some 100 times...

Many avoid delving into the deeper portions of the Bible, well, simply because it is truly "over their heads" or they are unwilling to study so intensely, lacking the willpower. But Jesus said to Satan: "Man must live, not on bread alone (or just simple Scriptural matters), but on every word...

The King James Bible has been proven to be archaic and inaccurate, for do you say "From whence cometh thou" (Job 2:2, KJV) or "canst not tell whence it cometh" ?(John 3:8, KJV) Rather, do you not say: "Where have you come from ?" (Job 2:2, New World Translation) if you want to know where a...

It is well known that the King James Bible is archaic English from over 400 years ago, English that is no longer spoken because of considerable changes in its syntax. Therefore, let's start from scratch and look at this from an accurate standpoint of how the Scriptures really read, for Hebrews...
