Paul said that "the holy ones will judge the world" in 1 Cor. 6:2. The Greek word we translate "world" in that text is κόσμος. Now notice these other inspired words of Paul: Heb. 2:5 For it is not to angels that he has subjected the inhabited earth to come, about which we are speaking. Can you...

One first question to start thinking rationally about the topic: The dead that will come out of their graves according to Jesus here: John 5:28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good...

So, you don't believe that the Kingdom of God will do anything for the planet and humanity here? :( Where do you think the general resurrection of the dead will occur? Do you believe what you read, or maybe you do think that we, JWs, wrote these passages? Rev. 21:3 With that I heard a loud...

One idea that heavily influences some believers' interpretation of passages that refer to the future is the idea that planet earth will be destroyed by Jesus when he comes to judge this human system of things that is being run by Satan and his spirits. BUT: Does the Bible really say that the...

Comparing the Biblical hope of the Kingdom of God that we JWs have with the hope of the human Messiah of the Jews is ridiculous. Start by thinking through what you say about that, and then I'll get serious about the rest of your posts.

Jesus knew, and told his disciples, that "the lesser person in the kingdom of heaven would be greater than John the Baptist". Matt. 11:11 Truly I say to you, among those born of women, there has not been raised up anyone greater than John the Baptist, but a lesser person in the Kingdom of the...

Some associated with Christians in the first century dared to spread the lie that the resurrection had already happened: 2 Tim. 2:16 But shun empty speeches that violate what is holy; for they will advance to more and more ungodliness, 17 and their word will spread like gangrene. Hy·me·naeʹus...

:) :rolleyes: You're kind of contradicting yourself and saying at the end the same we JWs believe. Organize your thoughts before posting... We JWs are not competing with you or anyone else, but rather sharing Biblical truths with others. If you believe that the Kingdom of God is already...

In the Bible the expression "the last day" is used to refer to the Millennium, during which the dead who do not belong to the heavenly "kings and priests" will be returned to life on earth: John 6:39 This is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose none out of all those whom he has given...

The Millennium of which we are given information in Rev. 20, is AS REAL as real are ALL EVENTS that are related to that period: 1) the great tribulation: a period that includes a brief time of suffering on humanity and that ends in the destruction of all the governments of the world at...

Jesus said that "the mild-tempered will inherit the earth" in Matt. 5:5. Since there are millions of mild-tempered persons on earth right now, and Jesus is talking about some future event, what did he mean with Matt.5:5? He meant that in the Kingdom of God there won't be any wicked person, so...

Only in the imagination of some people ... Come back to reality, please. This is what the Kingdom of God will do when it will be established on earth: Dan. 2:44 In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. And this kingdom will not be passed...

That is truth. But since he taught me to pray to the Father: "Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth." (Matt. 6:10) ... I believe God has a purpose to earth and its inhabitants. You don't understand what Jesus is saying there. Matt. 5:5 Happy are the...

... which you have never proved It is just your belief, an opinion, something you have not proved That's only happening in your mind, since you haven't proved anything with the Bible. I did. You want me to stop believing what I have proved with the Scriptures to believe what you are saying...

Another forumer (@PinSeeeker) told you the same before (post #93): Interesting others can see what you can not. Why do you think that is happening to you? :rolleyes:

I don't mind your judgementalist attitude ... I don't serve you. Maybe you think you are a king/priest ... in your dreams. :rain?:

When we see the order of events that Jesus describes to us in the visions of Rev. 19-21, we realize that these three events follow each other: 1) Armageddon 2) THE THOUSAND YEARS 3) the final test Since understanding it as we are told involves several biblical truths that Christendom's...

In Rev. 20:6 it says that "the second death has no authority over anyone having part in the first resurrection". However, there are many who at the end of the Millennium are going to be thrown into the symbolic "lake of fire" (which is Gehenna), and it constitutes the second death or eternal...

According to some religious leaders and theologians of Christendom, the whole Millennium thing is metaphorical. I have heard several of them say that humanity is already under the millennium that Rev. 20 speaks of, and that they themselves are those "kings and priests" that are spoken of there...

That is what you are pretending ... However, Scripture clearly speaks of the thousand years or Millenium, and you do not wish to believe the teaching. And when I quoted the blessings of the establishment of the Kingdom of God upon the earth in Rev. 21:3,4 you answered this: You are using the...
