Marty, this is a topic I too have recently been dwelling on. However, my understanding is in contrast to yours. I don't believe Rev 20 shows two sets of a thousand years. I believe John writes a/the thousand years to show TIME on this earth likened to a thousand years. Satan is first bound...

I don't think of it as ridiculous, perhaps you can explain why you feel it is ridiculous?

So you don't believe that God Providentially guides and directs what shall come to pass according to His Divine will? The Bible says "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved." I agree, Rahab believed the God of Israel was the true God, and for that reason God used her to...

I'm glad we have some agreement. When God created mankind He made them of earth, with spirit (breath of life) and the two parts became a living soul. First body, then spirit, and together living soul. This is true of every living creature upon the earth. Life to our body comes from our...

I haven't read through every reply here, so someone else may have already pointed this out. It seems the context should begin from verse 1. Why did the two spies go into this particular house? It seems to me that by His Divine Providence, God orchestrated all that came to pass in Jericho that...

I beg to differ Elie! Christ is very clear that whosoever lives and believes in Him shall NEVER DIE! Martha thought her brother would not live again until the resurrection at the last day. Jesus explains why she is wrong by physically resurrecting her brother to life again. This was done to...

Taken, the body requires the breath of life, which comes from the spirit God breathed into our body. The spirit gives our body life, and as long as the body continues to live every breathing creature upon the earth is a living soul. The spirit given by God returns to God when our body BREATHES...

Perhaps we are not far off in some things Robert. I don't believe anyone would disagree that a thousand years equates to TIME. I believe Scripture shows us that TIME is given for this earth age. When this age comes to an end when the last trump sounds, and the physical body of believers is...

When Adam & Eve were created, they had no knowledge of good or evil. Death is the consequence of sin which is evil. Since prior to them eating of the forbidden tree there was no knowledge of evil, neither was there any death. In the very day they disobeyed God, they realized for the first...

I'm still not sure of the point you're making. There are many, and always have been, many, who say falsely "I believe". What exactly they believe in is in question. Even the devils believe that Christ is the Son of God. Believing Christ with head knowledge is quite different than believing...

How do you reconcile your opinions when reading in context the Olivet Discourse? The abomination spoken by Daniel the prophet, Christ connects to the preaching of the Gospel unto all nations. Matthew 24:14-15 (KJV) And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a...

I agree with your understanding of the physical body. However trying to understand the distinction between soul and spirit becomes confusing because the two are similar but not the same. Every living creature upon the earth is composed of body + spirit which makes every living creature upon...

Is this your way of not addressing all that I've said Robert?

You can't even prove what you assume using the NWT of Scripture. You're still trying to force the verse to say, Thy kingdom come to this earth. That is NOT what Christ is telling His disciples to pray for. That is what you pray for, but Christ has made it more than abundantly clear that His...

No, sorry but I don't know what specifically you are attempting to show me?

The context shows us that Daniel's prophecy is of Messiah the Prince that shall come, and shall be cut off, and is the same prince of the people that shall come. Just because the translators did not capitalize prince the second time does not change the definition of the word. Messiah the Prince...

The only resurrection that assures we have no fear of the second death is the "first resurrection". That is the resurrection mankind must partake of while physically alive, and it is spiritual, not physical. We partake of the "first resurrection" from spiritual death to spiritual life when we...

As shown most if not all modern versions of Holy Scripture have translated this verse with what appears to be a bias toward millennialism. In doing this they make it appear the first resurrection is physical, not spiritual, and that the martyred souls shall live and reign with Christ on this...

Robert, it saddens me to say this but you are being very dishonest in your reply. There isn't a question of who God is. The question you and other Jehovah's Witnesses continue to argue against is your belief that Jesus our Lord and Saviour is NOT God. That is not a question in the minds of...

Satan and his angels were banished from the dwelling place of God, which Paul calls the third heaven. This war in heaven and banishment of Satan occurred when Christ was born, and all the heavens rejoiced. Isaiah calls God's habitation high and holy, where those of a humble, contrite spirit...
