    "NOW" = made free from sin

    Good question! Before I was born again through His Spirit in me, I had no desire not to sin. Before being made spiritually alive in Christ I was dead (spiritually; mind, will) in trespasses and sins. In that condition I was in bondage to sin and death that comes through sin. If Christ by His...

    Collosians 1:15-16

    No, I explained what Scripture has shown me to be truth! But you do not accept that! That doesn't mean it is wrong, only that you refuse to accept truth. And to prove this you offer no biblical rebuttal, but instead try to deflect by bringing the doctrine of Calvinism into the discussion...

    Collosians 1:15-16

    Jesus had ALL authority in heaven and earth even when He was in human form. Since Jesus had power over every enemy, He could also give His power to His disciples, making the spirits subject unto them. Jesus was given power over ALL flesh! Luke 10:18-20 (KJV) And he said unto them, I beheld...

    Genesis 2:7 (KJV) And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Breathed - puff of air - נָפַח naphach Breath of life - through the puff of air from God came life - נְשָׁמָה neshamah - a puff, i.e...

    Collosians 1:15-16

    Satan was able to tempt Christ in the wilderness to prove Christ has all power over him. Jesus being full of the Holy Spirit, ending the temptations by Satan says, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God." There is not doubt Jesus is the Lord God, and just because Jehovah's Witnesses deny this...

    Collosians 1:15-16

    You seem to be saying you believe Satan, being more powerful than Christ had the power to make Christ bow down and worship him??? It seems you make this assumption because you don't believe that Christ Jesus, our Lord, is God, manifested in human flesh! That no doubt because you have been...

    Collosians 1:15-16

    What commentary? I quoted from Scripture. Perhaps you don't recognize that what I've said comes from the Bible because you are the one using commentaries or perhaps the NWT of Scripture, therefore you don't recognize the words from Scripture? The seven days of creation are certainly included...

    Collosians 1:15-16

    In the mind of God the Lamb's blood was shed from the foundation of the world! If not Christ would not have been the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. That's why we read in Hebrews 4:3 says, "....the works were finished from the foundation of the world." And all ordained to eternal...

    Christians arent suppose to judge according to Jesus?

    It appears you're not properly discerning the words of Christ here. He says we will be judged according to how we judge others. Which is why He begins by saying we will be judged for the same things we judge of others. We aren't able to judge others unless we have first judged ourselves...

    Collosians 1:15-16

    The cross if fulfillment of the Covenant promise ordained in heaven from creation between God the Father, God the Son (Word), and God the Holy Spirit! 1 John 5:6-7 (KJV) This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit...

    Collosians 1:15-16

    What good is there in having one JW's call Jesus heading your congregation if He (Jesus) is not THE God but a god according to your doctrine? It seems you have not a Saviour because only THE God can give life!

    Collosians 1:15-16

    What you call "active force" is the giver of life according to Scripture. Scripture also informs us that only God ALONE gives life. Without what you call an "active force" there would be NO life on earth. Therefore the Holy Spirit is indeed God! John 6:63 (KJV) It is the spirit that...

    Collosians 1:15-16

    Then why does Scripture tell us that Christ is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world? (Rev 13:8; 17:8) Seems according to promise Christ would not fail to be the Savior of His people, since the Covenant was ordained in heaven at creation, and the promises of God in Him are "yes" and...

    Born of water

    I desire truth, of which I've given you, and you say "we disagree"! I have no desire to hear how JW's twist and manipulate the Scripture. Without the Spirit in you, you cannot have proper understanding of Scripture. And you have not the Spirit since you deny Almighty God alone saves man, and...

    Born of water

    It's the earth that shall be as John describes after God makes all things new. IOW after the spiritual Kingdom of God is complete, then Christ will return and all of His people will physically inhabit a new earth and the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as...

    Born of water

    Amen! When Christ returns all who have been born again by having partaken of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead in this life, will be bodily resurrected immortal and incorruptible, once again complete living soul possessing both eternal spirit and immortal body, and fit to live with...

    "NOW" = made free from sin

    When we are born again we are no different than the Apostle Paul. Paul, and every believer alive on this earth are still clothed in mortal bodies destined to corruption and death. Natural man supernaturally saved is still warring against the old nature. We will not attain perfect...

    The Appearing of our Great God and Savior Jesus Christ

    Jesus is God! God became a man to save His people! There is ONE GOD, revealed to mankind in three persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit = three, yet ONE!

    "NOW" = made free from sin

    Are you saying that in your body of mortality and corruption you have attained to a perfect sinless life? That you never sin? Do you walk so perfectly in the Light of Christ that you never get impatient, are never rude, always love your enemies, and give up your own life for the lives of...
