To needlessly offend shows a lack of love. Jesus established that during our time period, called "the last days" by the apostle Paul (2 Tim 3:1), that "because of the increasing of lawlessness, the love of the greater number will cool off."(Matt 24:12) Offensive speech is everywhere, for many do...

It is pretty obvious that through Eve, she, in effect, did "bare all....children of this world", for Genesis 3:20 states that she did as well as Acts 17:26 showing that through Adam "all nations of men" came into existence. The earliest Greek manuscripts reads literally "He makes besides out of...

A Jewish day was from sundown to sundown, for when the Israelites were to prepare the passover lamb, "it must continue under safeguard by you until the fourteenth day of the month (this month was initially called Abib [meaning "green ears"], but after the Israelites release from Babylon in 539...

At the end of the 6th "creative" day, Jehovah God proceeded to "form the man out of the dust from the ground" so that he "came to be a living soul."(Gen 2:7) God later proceeded to make for him a "complement", a woman as his wife named Eve. Through Adam and Eve, came forth all mankind, and...

For one to grasp the meaning of the "immense image", it is necessary to recognize what the different metals mean and their place in the time frame of history. The "head of gold" Daniel explained as ancient Babylon (Dan 2:38), with Medo-Persia as the "breasts of silver” (Dan 2:39a), Greece as the...

Jehovah God's rulership has always existed (Ps 103:19; 145:13), but one aspect of it was created. That is why at Daniel 2, it says that "in the days of those kings the God heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin....forasmuch as you beheld that out of a mountain a stone...

Jesus recognized that accepting the truth of the Bible, becoming a genuine disciple of his, would cause division within a family, perhaps splitting the family in half, using the expression "sword" as opposed to "peace".(Matt 10:34) Because of closely adhering to his words, such as to be "no...

You use the same "platform" that so many others use, that of making a blank statement without so much as one thread of evidence from the Bible, as if your statement has merit. And you are attacking Jehovah's Witnesses rather than proving what the Bible really teaches, just as so many others...

None has merit, for genuine Christians worship the same God as Jesus (John 4:22), telling the Samaritan woman that "true worshipers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for, indeed, the Father is looking for suchlike ones to worship him. God is a Spirit, and those worshiping him (that...

That God's kingdom is a heavenly government (and not just the "abode of God") can be seen that Jesus called it "the kingdom of the heavens" at Matthew 4:17; 5:3, 10, 19, 20; 7:21; 8:11; 10:7; 11:11, 12; 13:11, 24, 31, 33. And that it is a literal working government that can successfully remove...

In speaking before King Agrippa, the apostle Paul told him that "as to the manner of life from youth up that I led from the beginning among my nation.......according to the strictest sect of our form of worship ("form of worship", Greek threskeia, "religion", KJV) I lived a Pharisee."(Acts 26:4...

What is "The Kingdom of God" ? The "kingdom of God" is a heavenly government (Isa 9:6) that was created by Jehovah God for restoring what was lost in the Garden of Eden, everlasting life for "meek" ones on a paradise earth. Upon the initial rebellion in the Garden of Eden (Gen 3:1-6), God then...

According to the Microsoft Encarta Reference Library 2005, the word "religion"means: 1. religion beliefs and worship: people’s beliefs and opinions concerning the existence, nature, and worship of a deity or deities, and divine involvement in the universe and human life. 2. religion particular...

The apostle Paul was quoting from Isaiah 40:13 at 1 Corinthians 2:16 (as well at Rom 11:34), whereby it should read: "For "who has come to know the mind of Jehovah, that he may instruct him ?" But we do have the mind of Christ." (New World Translation) This Scripture clearly separates Jesus from...

Let's consider the evidence. At John 6:44, Jesus says: "No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him; and I will resurrect him in the last day." Jesus then narrows it down as to whom he is speaking about in verse 45, saying: "It is written in the Prophets, ' And they will all...

If one reads the Bible carefully without bias, it is possible to discern key details from the Bible, allowing the Bible to speak for itself rather than imposing one's personal whims on it. The expression "last day" does not fit a specific 24 hour event, but can be seen as an extended period of...

The apostle John is the only one who uses the word "antichrist" in the Bible.(1 John 2:18, 22; 4:3) Why ? Because he is the last of the apostles, and sees the real beginning of the fulfillment of Jesus words at Matthew 13:24-30. John writes that "it is the last hour". "Last hour" for what ? And...

On the night before his death, Jesus told his eleven faithful apostles that "you are the ones that have stuck with me in my trials; and I make a covenant with you, just as my Father has made a covenant with me, for a kingdom, that you may eat and drink (symbolically) at my table in my kingdom...

At Revelation 13:18, it says that the "wild beast" is seen as "a man's number; and its number is six hundred and sixty-six." What does this mean ? In the Bible, the number seven is noted as that which is complete, finished. For example, in Genesis 2, the "seventh day" is seen as a final day for...

Being that the "wild beast" (Rev 13:1), the political elements that are a creation of Satan from their founding right after the Noachian Flood with ones such as Nimrod who set himself "in opposition to Jehovah" (Gen 10:8-12), individuals have given it worship, forming human political...
