    The Divine Plan of the Ages by Charles T Russell - Jehovah's Witnesses

    You refused the clear word from Christ. You can believe what was also written of these times, and repent.

    The Divine Plan of the Ages by Charles T Russell - Jehovah's Witnesses

    Mat 11:14 And G2532 if G1487 ye will G2309 receive G1209 it, this G846 is G2076 Elias, G2243 which G3588 was for G3195 to come. G2064 I tell you...the translation can be believed both ways: But what you have believed was born out of unbelief, the cause of great apostacy. But I have not...

    The Day comes.....

    You are speaking as one who cannot imagine the things of God in the boundless terms of "I am" or "all in all", and therefore must continue in the smaller bites of the times of this world. Do you not know this is that "due season" where the things of this world should by now have long since...

    What Everyone Should Know about the SABBATH.

    Jesus came "to fulfill"...and He did. You speak against that, for which I am glad not to agree.

    The Divine Plan of the Ages by Charles T Russell - Jehovah's Witnesses

    I am not going to requote Jesus saying what you continue to reject. But you are apparently assuming that there is no truth to what Jesus said about things not being what you expect, and that both Peter and Paul foretold false teachings in the church and strong delusion, as you seem to agree...

    The Divine Plan of the Ages by Charles T Russell - Jehovah's Witnesses

    Indeed, perhaps I am wasting my time...as I quoted Jesus saying Elijah had already come--but you have rejected it, which is to say you have rejected Him who said it. As for the second coming of Jesus, it is my witness that after coming the first time and then going to the Father as He said He...

    The Divine Plan of the Ages by Charles T Russell - Jehovah's Witnesses

    I will walk through it with you...but no, you have it wrong. By saying It is not finished, you speak against Christ. It is finished indeed, in fact we who are His "were" crucified with Him (past tense)--which was and is that "re-constitution of all things."

    What Everyone Should Know about the SABBATH.

    Good question! I could say Yes and No, because one person will think it is meant one way and another will think it is meant another. If there is one right answer it is, Yes. But, that is not to say that the Commandment of keeping the sabbath is to be kept in "practice", but rather in receiving...

    The Divine Plan of the Ages by Charles T Russell - Jehovah's Witnesses

    Many hearts were turned to God, and many not. Nonetheless, John the Baptist did indeed "Prepare the way of the Lord" and restored all things to make "His paths straight." It is a misunderstanding to think that John needed to make everyone perfect--that was not his part. He just needed to...

    What Everyone Should Know about the SABBATH.

    Yes--that is the point, that we should know that the practice, although a wonderful blessing for ecclesiastical life, actually points to that greater rest we have in God when Christ's prayer is fulfilled in us that we should be where He is and One with the Father, just as they are One.

    The Day comes.....

    You are missing the point: "Worldwide" does not include "all people." In order for an event to include "all people", it would have to include "all times." In other words, your assertion does not reconcile with the scriptures that say "all people." This is the same error that is made with...

    What Everyone Should Know about the SABBATH.

    I did not mean to explore every aspect of the Sabbath, as even God has taken all this time and is not yet clear but to a few. My mentioning the creation foreshadowing or being a model of the Sabbath, was to point out that these things were true since the beginning. As for what Christ has...

    The Divine Plan of the Ages by Charles T Russell - Jehovah's Witnesses

    I did not "explain away their temporary blindness", but explained it: It is only temporary as the times of the gentiles appear to come first. Which Paul explained (as have I) that they actually proceed us...meaning that assuming all of these matters are one grand future event is a complete error...

    What Everyone Should Know about the SABBATH.

    Incidentally...I did hear back from the "well known PHD, Author, and College Professor"...and he agreed and apologized for not making the time to include God's more important purpose for the Sabbath in his lecture.

    The Divine Plan of the Ages by Charles T Russell - Jehovah's Witnesses

    Oh, I see what you are inferring...but I believe you are assuming the Lord has not returned. Which is not to say He has returned to all, but to many, as Paul explained: "but each one in his own order." So, if you believe that the Lord's return is rather one big future event, that is the error...

    The Divine Plan of the Ages by Charles T Russell - Jehovah's Witnesses

    Time is an illusion...but I suspect that is not what you mean to get into. I could tell you, but perhaps I should ask you. What do the scriptures say?

    The Day comes.....

    If "all peoples" are involved...it is not a onetime event.

    Who Created or Made a Sin Nature?

    So...you believe that all souls "today" are born in the garden with God just as Adam was and are then driven out by God when they sin? Do you not see that, that is what you are claiming by saying that all mankind was created with a choice of whether to sin or not? Apparently not. But you have...

    The Divine Plan of the Ages by Charles T Russell - Jehovah's Witnesses

    The mystery or "hardness" is also translated as "blindness"...which for lack of sight brought the abomination of desolation, as well as their salvation and that of the gentiles.

    Who Created or Made a Sin Nature?

    So...in your language demands, is death not synonymous with sin according God who said, "you shall surely die?"
