No. The new creation is believers who are spiritually reborn. The scripture I posted refers to the physical creation in Genesis 1, not the spiritual rebirth that makes us a new creation NOR refers to the New heavens and earth.

It’s a good idea to put any scripture, especially a proof text scripture, in context, by reading at least the chapter before and after the one the proof text is in. 1 Peter 4 starts out with the word SINCE, which is an obvious reference to words that went before that chapter. Peter had just...

Here’s proof Jesus reigns on the earth for a thousand years. The end of Rev 20:4 says: They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. Where do those who reign and rule with Christ reign? Rev 5:10 and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign...

I’ve yet to see scripture that says anyone is accountable for their eschatology. And a thousand year reign of Jesus on the earth is in my bible in Rev20, which settles that for me.

Symbolism isn’t 1500 miles high, long, and wide with 12 gates of pearl, with walls of a specified thickness, a foundation of specific materials, etc.

God sent Israel out to fight wars in the old testament. Jesus commended a Roman centurion for his great faith, and didn’t say one word against his being a soldier. Jesus told the apostles to get swords because He was leaving them to ascend to heaven. Romans 13 says rulers are servants of god...

JWs love to quote the OT to prove their doctrines, but they don’t seem to like that passage, that refutes their pacifism.

This settles the question for me: Heb 1:13 God never said to any of the angels, "Sit at my right side until I make your enemies into a footstool for you!" Heb 1:14 Angels are merely spirits sent to serve people who are going to be saved. CEV makes it very understandable. Here’s more from...

The scripture I posted is clear enough. I’ll stick with that.

That Gods plurality is three in one, and not three separate and distinct Gods, is shown in just a few scriptures. In Genesis 1 God, (Elohim in Hebrew, which translates literally as GODS) said let US make man in OUR image - which proves He’s God in plural form BUT... Isaiah 41 says that God...

Except it was right after He just said that He was sending us a comforter to us while He’s in heaven, then said He won’t leave us comfortless, BECAUSE He will come to us, not UNTIL He comes to us again. Romans 8 also strongly hints that Jesus and the HS are the same: Rom 8:9 But ye are not...

That’s because it’s all Gods money in the first place. We have no money to withhold from Him, we’re only managing His money. See Matthew 25:14-30. Edit: This pertains to the handling Gods money that we think is our own: Luk 16:10 Whoever is faithful in small matters will be faithful in...

The clear statement there, is the more you give the more God prospers you, so you can in turn give more to help those in need. Thus an increase is promised, but the passage doesn’t say exactly how much. And Jesus promised this about giving: Luk 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you...

I believe that something very important about space and the stars is being overlooked, which is the original meaning of the zodiac has the gospel message in it, before astrology corrupted it:

It’s a shame Sesame Street is now being used to indoctrinate children today.

I happen to like the BB theory. The theory was resisted at first by many scientists who understood the implications of switching the standard cosmological model of uniformitarianism, which was that the universe always existed - and which contradicts the bible - to the BB model that says that...

An outrageous comment she made - clearly she must be stopped and censored, or next she’ll be claiming that only women can have babies!

I don’t know what that is, but it’s not a human. Look at the feet. Those are not human feet.

The New Testament plan for giving: 2Co 9:6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 2Co 9:7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful...
