    God's Personal Name & New World Translation

    God didn't leave his name a mystery, that is what imperfect men have done. God is identified by a name because he is the one who gave himself the name YHWH. You may think when God gave himself the name YHWH, to be insignificant, but it was Gid who had his name put in the scriptures ovdr 7000...

    God's Personal Name & New World Translation

    People who don't care about the four Hebrew letters YHWH that represented the personal name of the true God, show that they think what imperfect humans have done or say is more important that what God has said and done in his word the Bible. If people acknowledge that the four Hebrew letters...

    God's Personal Name & New World Translation

    I'll stay with those who think God's name should be recognized and used as Jesus did. Those four Hebrew letters represented God's personal name and today people pronounce those four Hebrew letters as Jehovah or Yahweh. Jesus pronounced the name when he read or quoted from the Septuagint Bible...

    God's Personal Name & New World Translation

    I think following Jesus example is more important that what imperfect men have done by taking God's personal name out of the Bible and substituting it a title such as Lord or God. When Jesus quoted the old testament or read from the old testament and the name of God was in those scriptures he...

    The Soul.

    The Bible does not indicate that all the dead will be resurrected. Jesus implied this when he spoke of “those who have been counted worthy of gaining that system of things and the resurrection from the dead.” (Lu 20:35) The possibility of eternal destruction for some is also indicated by Jesus’...

    The Soul.

    Many people, when reasoning on the scriptures, have been taught to believe that human beings were given a soul, but the scriptures don't say this. God was very clear when he tells us how he created the first man at Genesis 2:7, that he didn't give man a soul. Genesis 2:7 is very clear which...

    John 1:1 - Jesus is the Father or he's not the one true God?

    Scholars have been going on about this word, Elohim like forever. This Hebrew word ʼelo·himʹ (gods) appears to be from a root meaning “be strong.” ʼElo·himʹ is the plural of ʼelohʹah (god). Sometimes this plural refers to a number of gods (Genesis 31:30, 32; 35:2), but more often it is used as...

    John 8:24, 28, 58 - Jesus Christ IS YHWH

    The Greek expression egoeimi must be takened in the context that it's written. Many teach when discussing John 8:58 that Jesus was discussing with the Jews, who he was, when in fact, he was telling the Jews that he was alive before Abraham was born. This is the context I will keep the greek...

    John 8:24, 28, 58 - Jesus Christ IS YHWH

    The apostle John wrote his life account of Jesus Christ in the Greek language, not in Hebrew; and in the Greek text the controversial expression is "Egoeimi." Just by itself, without any introductory material ahead of it, Egoeimi means “I am.” Now this expression Egoeimi occurs also at John...

    Data On The Trinity

    We have to understand that it was only in the minds of imperfect men(jews) that judged Jesus to be guilty of Blasphemy, but as you said Jesus broke no laws, he wasn't guilty of Blasphemy either just because these Jews judged him guilty of Blasphemy.

    The Soul.

    Roland Nolette said, But as for evaporation? what does the water stand for? What is the impassable gulf? Are you saying that Jewish religious leader4s could not pass over to the good side? So Nicodemus, and Joseph were lost because they were religious leaders? Does that mean the scores of...

    The Soul.

    No, the scriptures, teach us that we are souls, not that we have souls. Just because you don't believe the scriptures doesn't mean they're going to change, for you. When it comes to the Lazarus and the rich man parable, and yes we do say or teach it's a parable because whenever Jesus talk to...

    The Soul.

    You're saying that you have a soul, the scriptures say humans are souls. So your body won't rejoin your soul. In the resurrection a human being will be recreated a human body which is a soul.

    The Soul is the Sinner in the Flesh

    robert Derrick said, And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground. And anyone saying otherwise is ridiculous, and anyone saying someone else quoting it is saying otherwise is beyond ridiculous, which can only be explained by the manner of blindness in the mind of that person.[/QOUTE\]...

    The Soul is the Sinner in the Flesh

    robert Derrick said, You wouldn't know what anyone is trying to say, if it does not agree with your belief, because like Scripture, you do not actually read what is written to quote and make sense of it. You don't want to, because you only want to continue believing what you like. I now...

    The Soul.

    If you get a resurrection it'll be because you had a change of heart and believe what God has been saying all along regarding scriptures like Genesis 2:7, that man doesn't have a soul, but is a soul.

    The Soul is the Sinner in the Flesh

    You saying we should only quote God Word is in error, because you're saying nobody should reason on the scriptures and that is just wrong. What I said about Genesis 2:7 is true, God took dust from the ground and formed it into a flesh and blood human body, then blew the breath of life(spirit)...

    The Soul.

    I understand you believe what you said here, but I'm convinced that if you don't listen to the scriptures, which you're not, even though you think you are, you will be the one in dismay.

    The Soul.

    The Catechism of the Catholic church says: “To rise with Christ, we must die with Christ: we must ‘be away from the body and at home with the Lord’. [2 Corinthians 5:8] In that ‘departure’ which is death the soul is separated from the body. [Philippians 1:23] It will be reunited with the body on...

    The Soul.

    Ronald Nope the said, "So because God is pneuma- to you He is just a breath or puff of wind then. Okay![/QOUTE\] I think it's very interesting that you say that I said the only way the Greek word pneuma is translated or the only way that the Greek word is used is wind and because of that...
