    Creation of All People Except Adam and Eve

    In a figurative way, all mankind were under the condemnation of death before God the Judge of all. Therefore mankind was spiritually dead. However by acting in faith concerning the great love Jehovah God and his Only Begotten Son has shown mankind by Jehovah God sending his Only Begotten Son to...

    Creation of All People Except Adam and Eve

    I know that isn't scriptural. Taking from the scripture that because the woman who's name is Eve is the mother of all living and because of that some of their children produced by them are sinless when born isn't true. Just as Adam is the Father of all mankind so Eve is the Mother of all...

    Creation of All People Except Adam and Eve

    It's possible that Cains wife was his sister, the scriptures are not that specific on who she was. She could have been a niece or cousin for all we know.

    Creation of All People Except Adam and Eve

    That's because after Adam and Eve sinned they were driven out of the garden called Eden. Angels were stationed around the garden to prevent anyone from going into the garden. So no, none of Adam and Eve children didn't eat any of the forbidden fruit, but because of Adam and Eve sin their...

    Creation of All People Except Adam and Eve

    Genesis 1:27 says God created(Hebrew: bara) man in his image. When the scriptures say let us make(Hebrew word: asah) man in our image after our likeness at 1:26 God is speaking to his Only Begotten Son. The Hebrew word adham translated Adam means man, mankind or human So these scriptures are...

    the 4 horsemen--ancient or now?

    Yes I understood you correctly how you view the phrase, "Only Begotten Son." I just view it differently because at 1john 4: 9 it says that God sent his Only Begotten Son to the world of mankind, so I honestly believe God Only Begotten Son was a spiritual being in heaven who was God Only Begotten...

    the 4 horsemen--ancient or now?

    You're right, most Christians don't know how to describe the Trinity. In fact, there is so much confusion as to what the definition of the Trinity is. Each person who believes in the Trinity, has their take on what the definition of the Trinity is. It's also suppose to be a doctrine, that...

    the 4 horsemen--ancient or now?

    You and I are going to continue to disagree because the apostle John repeatedly describes the Lord Jesus Christ as the only-begotten Son of God. (Joh 1:14; 3:16,18; 1Jo 4:9) This is not referring to his human birth or to him as just the man Jesus. As the Loʹgos, or Word, “this one was in the...

    the 4 horsemen--ancient or now?

    I understand how some Bibles translate John 1:1 but not all Bibles translate this verse the same. This debate, how John 1:1 should be translated has been going on for centuries. It didn't start in our time. We all must make our choice of which translation is the accurate translation. You and...

    the 4 horsemen--ancient or now?

    Because in reality it's the Only Begotten Son of God who is the Word, saying otherwise, you're denying God has a Only Begotten Son, who is the Word. When Scripture tells me, that it was the Word that became Flesh, then to me, that's saying the Only Begotten Son of God became human. When a person...

    the 4 horsemen--ancient or now?

    The orthodox Christianity you speak of denies that it was the Only begotten Son of God who became human and died for mankind. Orthodox Christianity denies The True God resurrected his Only Begotten Son three days after his death. Instead they teach it was God who became human and that it was God...

    the 4 horsemen--ancient or now?

    I believe the scriptures show us that the Apostle John by God's Holy Spirit was taken into the future in the Lord's day which I believe to be Jesus 2nd presence which is an invisible presence. The Apostle Paul refers to it as a time of judgment and of fulfillment of divine promises. (1...

    Teaching Abstinence only in the classroom

    The majority of people in these last days, that we're living in are lacking in love toward God so they have no faith that his way works. As long as a person or persons continue to have such lack of love toward God then they will never have faith in his way or in his word and things will continue...

    Teaching Abstinence only in the classroom

    The simple truth is, that for people to think their programs against abortion will be effective, I can't agree that they will. The scriptures are very clear that a serious lack of love will prevail in the last days, which we're living in. The reason for this lack of love, is because of the lack...

    What do you think this text says about the deity of Christ?

    I understand how you feel about JW. My family went to the meetings of Baptists and Pentecostal churches when I was growing up. Such churches although they agreed that the Bible is God word did little when it comes to being obedient to its instructions. I have found from speaking with other JW...

    What do you think this text says about the deity of Christ?

    I hope the same for you, but let's be honest with each other. Just as you don't believe what you're saying is just your opinions, neither do I.

    THE CHURCHES IN REVELATION ARE ISRAEL, NOT THE BODY OF CHRIST

    I believe the true Israel of God to be made up of Jews and gentiles. The scriptures show that just because a person is circumcised or not isn't what makes a person the true Israel of God. It's always been about faith in God, not whether you are circumcised or not. The seven stars in revelation...

    What do you think this text says about the deity of Christ?

    I'm not trying to tell you to agree with me nor be afraid of anyone. I just believe in forgiveness. I believe all people, therefore all organizations that make mistakes and learn from them shouldn't be tossed. However if people which includes the organization they represent continue to say...

    What do you think this text says about the deity of Christ?

    Well, back in the time your talking about has to do with the law covenant, back then, a man and woman caught in the act of adultery, were to be put to death too. Is that what you think we should do to all such people caught doing that? Like I said, I'm aware of the prophecies and that they were...

    What do you think this text says about the deity of Christ?

    I knew about the prophecies. I'm not ignorant of them. I, unlike you, just don't think the JW to be perfect, that they don't make all kinds of mistakes. I don't expect true Christians to never make mistakes.
