    Is there a difference in " FALSE " teaching & error in teaching ?

    Joshua is not warning the nation to choose their faith! He is warning those who already say they have faith, and that they believe God. The warning Joshua gives is for those who profess faith because they already know God, not to serve the gods of their fathers from old, and instead as he and...

    How Many Christians Believe When We DIE, Our Human Spirit Goes Instantly To HEAVEN?

    That spark of life is spirit! Every living creature upon the earth is both body (physical, material) and spirit (internal, immaterial). The spirit that God gives to every living, breathing creature on the earth is how the body is alive. And as long as the physical body of all living creatures...

    How Many Christians Believe When We DIE, Our Human Spirit Goes Instantly To HEAVEN?

    There will be only one bodily resurrection in an hour coming when the last trumpet begins to sound. Therefore, there cannot be people resurrected bodily in heaven. The physically dead know nothing, but death of the body for those who have eternal spiritual life through the Holy Spirit in them...

    How Many Christians Believe When We DIE, Our Human Spirit Goes Instantly To HEAVEN?

    The soul identifies the complete living, breathing creature. The spirit identifies how the body of every living breathing creature upon the earth becomes alive. Every living breathing creature upon the earth has both body and spirit and together are living souls. What makes mankind different...

    The spirit is that which gives life to man's mortal body. A living soul is what every living creature upon the earth becomes when having a body with a spirit = a living soul.

    How Many Christians Believe When We DIE, Our Human Spirit Goes Instantly To HEAVEN?

    To have a soul is to have life! When our body is made physically alive through spirit that comes from God, man is a living soul. The spirit in man can be a living soul in heaven without our physical body. But a body without the spirit is a corpse!

    How Many Christians Believe When We DIE, Our Human Spirit Goes Instantly To HEAVEN?

    Only His spirit went to heaven! His body went into the tomb, but instead of decay the spirit that gives every human physical life returned to Christ and He arose from the tomb ALIVE!

    How Many Christians Believe When We DIE, Our Human Spirit Goes Instantly To HEAVEN?

    To be a living soul means to have life in some form. Scripture is clear that the spirit in man is that which gives our mortal human body life. Without a spirit there is NO life. Scripture is also clear that humans who believe in Christ while physically alive "shall NEVER die"! Christ is not...

    How Many Christians Believe When We DIE, Our Human Spirit Goes Instantly To HEAVEN?

    Great observation Sheila! The question every man/woman on earth must face in this life is this, will our spirit return to God in heaven a living soul or will the spirit that gives mankind physical life return to God in heaven without life? Only the spirit God gives to man indwelt with the Holy...

    Is there a difference in " FALSE " teaching & error in teaching ?

    From whom do you believe you selected your faith? And how is God giving us His gift of faith forcing believers to serve Him? What god or gods do you serve? Who is Jehovah for you? How do you serve your Jehovah? How do you know you have entered the strait gate? Can you prove the gate you've...

    Is there a difference in " FALSE " teaching & error in teaching ?

    Did not the spirit that gave Christ physical life return to the Father who gave it when Christ physically died? Ecclesiastes 12:7 (WEB) And the dust returns to the earth as it was, And the spirit returns to God who gave it. Luke 23:46 (KJV) And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he...

    Is there a difference in " FALSE " teaching & error in teaching ?

    We run into a problem when we try to separate the activity of God the Father, from God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. For it is the three that make the ONE TRUE GOD! The Covenant of Redemption enacted in heaven between the Triune God Head came to men/women of faith through the power of the...

    Collosians 1:15-16

    As a human He had a beginning, i.e. He became a man, born of woman! This was accomplished because the God-Man called Jesus is fully God, yet became human flesh, because only by being a perfect human could redemption of sin and its consequence which is death be forgiven. And only God alone is...

    Collosians 1:15-16

    Where was the spirit that gave Christ physical life after His body died? It was the physical body of Christ that went into the grave, not His spirit. Since His spirit was filled with the Holy Spirit, His spirit ascended up to God in heaven from which it came. Therefore Christ continued to...

    Collosians 1:15-16

    Here are other verses deliberately mistranslated in JW's New World Translation: CHANGING ETERNAL “PUNISHMENT” TO EVERLASTING “CUTTING OFF” The Greek word kolasis is translated “cutting-off” instead of “punishment” to support the Watchtower’s belief in annihilation and the rejection of an...

    Collosians 1:15-16

    THE WORD WAS GOD OR THE WORD WAS A GOD The Greek words kai theos en ho logos are mistranslated as “the Word was a god,” instead of “the Word was God.” This is a distortion of the text as the word “a” is not in the Greek, but was added by the New World Translators to make the Word (Jesus) “a”...

    Collosians 1:15-16

    Having a living spirit is to have life, is to be alive! The spirit within man gives them life, that originates from God, and with the body + spirit man is a living soul!

    He also taught He and the Father are ONE. And that seeing Christ is to see the Father.

    Collosians 1:15-16

    No, but every living breathing creature upon the earth is both body and spirit which equals "living souls". Leviticus 17:14 (KJVSL) For it is the life נֶפֶשׁ of all flesh בָּשָׂר; the blood דָּם of it is for the life נֶפֶשׁ thereof: therefore I said אָמַר unto the children בֵּן of Israel...
