    The Manner of Jesus' Return

    I'm not twisting nothing just because you say so. Like I said the scriptures say that two angels said that Jesus would come back in the same manner he left. You obviously want people to believe that the manner that Jesus left is that the whole world suddenly stopped and looked with awe as Jesus...

    The Manner of Jesus' Return

    Well tell me Jack do you know exactly how the unrighteous will be destroyed? I only know that God will use his only begotten Son and the angels to destroy the unrighteous. Exactly how Jesus and the angels will do it l wouldn't know.

    The Manner of Jesus' Return

    I'm talking about when God is using his only begotten Son to destroy the unrighteous at Armageddon.

    The Manner of Jesus' Return

    Today God is working through his only begotten Son. So God is using his only begotten Son to destroy the unrighteous. Jesus who is God's only begotten Son has always done his Father and God's will so although it's Jesus destroying the unrighteous it's God's will and purpose for this to be done...

    Is it a sin to use pharmaceuticals?

    Antipsychotic medications have become well established as effective treatments. Unfortunately, doctors say that about a third of schizophrenic patients do not respond to the drugs—or to any sort of treatment. And, at best, the medications help to control—not cure—schizophrenia, toning down or...

    Did God create evil? (A look at Isaiah 45:7)

    The American Standard version of the scriptures says at Isaiah 45:7 : “I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I am Jehovah, that doeth all these things.” The scriptures teach us that Jehovah God sows light for righteously disposed ones, and through his Word the...

    The Manner of Jesus' Return

    I believe what Jesus said at John 14:19 and what the two angels said at Acts 1:10, 11. Also I know that the form that Jesus is in today is told to us at 1 Timothy 6:15, 16. If Jesus came to humans on earth in this form he would destroy all humans on earth, both righteous and unrighteous. Jesus...

    The Manner of Jesus' Return

    I understand what you believe, but I'm not going to ignore scriptures at John 14:19 and everything that's said in Revelation 1:7 and 1 Timothy 6:15, 16. You also want me to ignore the manner in which Jesus ascended to heaven. Jesus didn't ascend to heaven with the whole world watching. In other...

    The Manner of Jesus' Return

    I believe the scripture at John 14:19 that the world will not literally see Jesus again. So when Jesus second presence begins the world will be oblivious that it has begun when it does begin. As I said the scriptures show he never appeared to unbelievers after his resurrection. So when Jesus...

    The Manner of Jesus' Return

    Jesus didn't go into heaven until 40 days after his resurrection. During those 40 days he appeared to his apostles and disciples who were believers, but not once during those 40 days did he appear to a unbeliever. Jesus during those 40 days appeared to his apostles and disciples in what looked...

    The Manner of Jesus' Return

    Yeah, well I believe Acts 9:20-22 should be considered when reading 1Corinthians 9:1 Acts says Paul saw, a light flash around him, and heard a voice, it doesn't say he actually saw a person or a human form or anything like that. I'm not going to ignore Acts 9:20-22

    The Manner of Jesus' Return

    The apostle Paul although an apostle to the nations wasn't an apostle of the 12. So when the 11 we're choosing one to replace Judas who was one of the 12 apostles they wanted the one they chose to measure up to Acts 1:20-22 and yes the one they chose was one who actually measured up to Acts...

    The Manner of Jesus' Return

    I disagree that people, humans on earth, will see Jesus literally with their literal eyes. At John 14:19 Jesus said the world would not see him again and that's exactly what happened after Jesus was resurrected from the dead. Jesus only appeared to believers after his resurrection, he did not...

    The Manner of Jesus' Return

    Well there at Revelation 1:7 which says that they also which pierced him will see him, you're saying those that pierced Jesus will literally see him, wasn't that a Roman soldier that pierced Jesus side with a spear? That soldier and all Roman soldiers are long dead. So how are those that pierced...

    The Manner of Jesus' Return

    Just because you and other people who are imperfect people Just like everyone else, and says the watchtower is putting what they say above scripture, that doesn't mean it's true. Any other imperfect person like you can say they think you believe you're infallible in what you're saying and you're...

    The Manner of Jesus' Return

    A person can believe that when Jesus says something it doesn't matter, but I know that when Jesus says something it does matter. Jesus said at John 14:19 that the world wouldn't see him again. If someone thinks that when Jesus said that, it doesn't matter what he said, well that just lets me...

    Why did Jesus tell the thief he would be with Him in paradise that same day?

    Punctuation like commas didn't exist when the scriptures were first inspired by God and written down. Actually punctuation like commas didn't exist in the scriptures until centuries after Jesus Christ. So the scripture at Luke 23:43 people are going by where someone put a comma, for instance...

    The Manner of Jesus' Return

    Some may ask, what about the use of “clouds” in all these texts? Wouldn't that place the “sign” within earth’s atmosphere, where literal clouds form and float and so within the range of human eyesight? Lets take another look at Daniel chapter 7, where the “sign” is first presented. We can see...

    The Manner of Jesus' Return

    After Jesus was resurrected from the dead I can find no place in scripture where Jesus appeared to an unbeliever. So when Jesus said at John 14:19 that the world(unbelievers) would see him no more but his apostles and disciples(believers) would, that's exactly what the scriptures show us...

    "AS WERE THE DAYS OF NOAH"

    You're still not getting the point that I was trying to make. I could have said you are being dishonest and manipulative concerning the texts to get the result you wanted when and how you determined that year 2067. But though I disagree with you in how you determined that year, that doesn't mean...
