    'Death is swallowed up in victory' -When?

    I find it very interesting that you quote 2Peter 3: 7-13 but you didn't quote it from verse 5-13. You see in verses 5 and 6 it shows you that in the days of Noah there was a heaven and earth destroyed. Then from verse 7 it tells us that the heaven and earth (different heaven and earth than in...

    'Death is swallowed up in victory' -When?

    In speaking about Acts 13:33- With regard to Jesus’ resurrection from the dead, Paul applied part of Psalm 2 to that occasion, quoting God’s words, “You are my son, I have become your Father this day,” and he also applied words from God’s covenant with David, namely: “I myself shall become his...

    'Death is swallowed up in victory' -When?

    I am a JW. Don't care what anybody thinks about that either. Just thought I say that before you start persecuting JW. I can see for myself that what others in Christendom thinks and believes isn't true. I wasn't always a JW you know, I grew up in the Baptists and Pentecostal churches and saw all...

    'Death is swallowed up in victory' -When?

    Honestly I don't believe myself to be one of the anointed. When the New testament, Matthew through Revelations was written, God through his Only Begotten Son Jesus, inspired these scriptures to be written by those who were the anointed back then. So when the Apostle John was used to write...

    'Death is swallowed up in victory' -When?

    I believe those who are resurrected to heaven applies only to the anointed. These anointed are the ones who will get a resurrection like Jesus who when resurrected received immortality and inherited incorruption.These are the ones who will be kings, priests and judges with Jesus in that heavenly...

    'Death is swallowed up in victory' -When?

    Most people today when it comes to those humans who Jehovah God through his Only Begotten Son Jesus has judged as righteous believe they all will be in heaven and that when Armageddon happens most people believe that this physical universe along with planet Earth will be destroyed. Most people...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Theophilus said: Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord,” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, “Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Theophilus said: But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.” This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. John 5:17,18...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Theophilus said: There was one time when Jesus plainly said that he was God. “Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.” So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    Justbyfaith says: Now I know that you have your teachings against this that you follow. But I would say that you are gambling your eternity over whether your teachers are right on the issue; and that this is not very wise.[/Quote\] I don't expect people such as yourself to say good things...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    Justbyfaith says: I don't know how you can be so blind, as to not see what the Pharisees and scribes saw, when Jesus proclaimed to them, I and my Father are one. I say to you truly that they understood that He was there claiming to be God insomuch that they even picked up stones to stone Him for...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    I would ask him, why in the scriptures he never claims to be God. It's very simple to say, "I am the creator of all life." Where in he scriptures does he say that. Oh yeah, justbyfaith, there's a difference between what is written down and what you interpret what's written down. You can...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    Jehovah has given each person free will, or the ability to make choices. He did not create us to be like robots. (Deuteronomy 30:19; Joshua 24:15) We can use our freedom to make good choices. But if we are not careful, we could make unwise decisions. Having free will means that we must...

    Fear God - Why I have love and fear has been cast out?

    THE FEAR OF GOD AND OUR LOVE OF GOD PART 2 The life course of Jesus Christ clearly illustrates how we can love and fear God at the same time. Of Jesus the prophet Isaiah wrote: “Upon him the spirit of Jehovah must settle down, the spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the spirit of counsel and...

    The FEAR OF GOD AND OUR I LOVE OF GOD PART 1 If only they would develop this heart of theirs to fear me and to keep all my commandments always.”DEUTERONOMY 5:29. The fear that the scriptures speak about,"Fear the Lord," is a reverential fear. I believe when someone fears of being punished by...

    What should be the Christian's Response to the Homosexual?

    Those of us who have studied the scriptures know that The True God Jehovah sent his Only Begotten Son to die for all mankind. So since Jehovah God and his Only Begotten Son has shown such love to everyone, so We should love everyone too, but most especially our spiritual brothers and sisters. We...

    The center of the universe

    I disagree that the scriptures say planet Earth will be destroyed by fire, and replaced with a new one. The scriptures have used phrases like new heaven and new earth when dealing with Israel when Jehovah God was freeing them from the yoke of the Babylonian Empire and helping them to rebuild...
