There is no "God the Holy Spirit", for the holy spirit is God's active force that he used to create the universe and all life. This is important in understanding God's word. At Isaiah 44, Jehovah says: "For I will pour out water on the thirsty one and flowing streams on the dry ground. I will...

What is required to understand the Bible ? Reading it over and over ? Going to the churches of Christendom ? Using the rosary ? What is the "formula" for grasping what the Bible really teaches ? To begin with, at Acts 8, it reports that an Ethiopian eunuch (or court official of Candace, queen of...

When a quality complex product is being engineered, it requires exacting specifications and details that must be fulfilled in order for it to work properly. Likewise of the measuring up to being among the "few" who will find "life" requires that they measure up to God's holy (high)...

No one is saved when they are anointed with holy spirit, for the apostle Paul wrote to the Ephesians: "But you also hoped in him (Jesus Christ) after you heard the word of truth, the good news about your salvation. After you believed, you were sealed by means of him with the promised holy...

You are definitely not the first to attack the name of Jehovah and won't be the last. Bible translators have been doing it for centuries, so you can find a lot company with your disdain for God's name. The Catholic church has forbidden its use among its priests. As Jeremiah wrote of the Jewish...

The language of many who call themselves "Christian" is infiltrated with unclean speech, such as my mother's sister who was often crude in her speech (even after growing old), telling obscene jokes so that my mother told her sister that she did not want to hear them. For those who are desirous...

Jehovah's Witnesses did not make up the name Jehovah but it has been in many Bible for centuries. The Bibles that use Jehovah are the King James Bible (4 times, Ex 6:3; Ps 83:18; Isa 21:4; 26:4), the New World Translation (over 7,000 times), the American Standard Version (almost 7,000 times and...

Yes, God hates that which is bad, for Psalms 97 says: "O you who love Jehovah, hate what is bad." How can our Maker, Jehovah God, be righteous and not hate what is bad ? Good and bad are two opposing sides. The apostle Paul wrote: "For what fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have ? Or...

You show a disdain for God's name of Jehovah. When asked by a Pharisee: "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law ?" (Matt 22:36), Jesus responded, quoting from Deuteronomy 6:5: "You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’...

Yes, I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and proud of it.

Many who call themselves "Christian" fail to grasp why moral conditions are plummeting. They are unable to understand the time period we are living in, called by Jesus his (invisible) "presence" at Matthew 24:37, 39. Four of Jesus apostles (Mark 13:3) asked Jesus a composite question three days...

Many never consider the context of a Scriptural account when giving any "thoughts", but rather quickly assume something without careful examination. Also due to inaccuracies, wrong conclusions are drawn. For example, at 2 Thessalonians 2:2, the KJV reads:"That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or...

This view is no different than the churches, for they have considered the Bible like going to a "buffet" at a restaurant, pick and choose what you want and discard the rest. This goes contrary to Jesus words to Satan, saying: "It is written (at Deut 8:3): ‘Man must live, not on bread alone, but...

To identify "the restrainer" at 2 Thessalonians 2, one has to examine (and understand) Jesus illustration of the "wheat and weeds" at Matthew 13. In this illustration concerning the "Kingdom of the heavens", Jesus says that it "may be likened to a man who sowed fine seed in his field. While men...

The "world" of mankind mostly feels no qualms when violating God's moral standards. Even the word "sin" is not used by the churches as it once was, but rather they, in effect, "sugar-coat" wrong conduct (as an example homosexuality), such as Joel Osteen in Houston, Texas (Lakewood church), with...

Jesus established what is required to gain God's favor, quoting Moses words at Deuteronomy 8:3 and telling Satan: "It is written: ‘Man must live, not on bread alone, but on every word that comes from Jehovah’s mouth.’”(Matt 4:4) A person cannot gain life everlasting by just reading the Christian...

Though Exodus 16:12 literally reads "between the two evenings", the word "twilight" is accurate, for if a person had read all of Exodus 16, the context determined when the Israelites were to eat meat. At Exodus 16:8, it says: "When Jehovah gives you meat to eat in the evening and in the morning...

James is telling us that to gain salvation, a person has to have faith backed by "works." No "works" that shows faith in our Creator, Jehovah God and no salvation. Period. Was Abraham "declared righteous" without so much as lifting a finger ? This is where the churches have failed in pleasing...

Indeed, salvation is not earned, but a person has to exercise faith (not just believe), for James wrote: "Of what benefit is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but he does not have works ? That faith cannot save him, can it ?"(James 2:14) James now gives an example of faith in...

Before anyone is selected for "the heavenly calling" (Heb 3:1), so as to be "born again" (John 3:3), they must first measure up to being "holy, just as I am holy."(1 Pet 1:16; Lev 19:2) No being "holy" in God's eyes, no being "born again" and chosen to serve as "kings and priests".(Rev 1:6, KJV)...
