I don't have a problem saying Adam didn't exist as a person before God took dust and molded it into clay, then blew the breath of life into the clay, then is when Adam became a living person not before, that's true. Just because God used his foreknowledge concerning certain people such as...

Nothing evil comes from God. God created his intelligent creatures with free will but he didn't give free will for it to be abused as the Angel who became Satan and as Adam and Eve abused their free will. God warned Adam not to eat of the forbidden fruit, so obviously God didn't want Adam to...

God didn't create evil.

The word hell should never be translated Gehenna. The word Hell represents a place, Gehenna is symbolic of complete annihilation. It represents a condition not a place.

In Luke chapter 16 it says about the beggar and the rich man: it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried. And in Haʹdes [Sheol, Hebrew; Shiul, Syriac] he lifted up his eyes, being in...

We wouldn't just improperly love the True God if we had the wrong ideas about him, but we wouldn't be loving the True God at all if we had the wrong ideas about him. We instead would be loving that person those wrong ideas describes. That why it's so important to know the truth about The True...

When it comes to faith one must truly love God first to be able to have that faith in him and his word. So it's reasonable that love would be the greatest since without love you wouldn't be able to have faith in the True God and therefore we would be without hope.

The scriptures do tell us to follow Jesus steps closely. Don't you think though that if the congregation(church) knew Jesus loved them and the congregation truly knew that, the congregation, not just an individual or a few individuals would strive to be more like Jesus. Yet, I don't see these...

I believe we should show love for everyone as Jesus Christ did when he sacrificed his human life for mankind even though we were his enemies. Look at the way the world treated and killed Jesus. I think that was a monstrous way to die yet Jesus said to God his father, "forgive them for they know...

Jehovah proceeded to say to her [Rebekah]: ‘Two nations are in your belly, and two national groups will be separated from your inward parts; and the one national group will be stronger than the other national group, and the older [Esau] will serve the younger [Jacob].’” (Jehovah was able to read...

In the account, at Luke 16:19-31, is it literal or merely an illustration of something else? The Jerusalem Bible, in a footnote, acknowledges that it is a “parable in story form without reference to any historical personage.” If taken literally, it would mean that those enjoying divine favor...

I don't agree that what you're trying to say about Hebrews 10:26 is true. The sin mentioned at Hebrews 10:26-29 does not apply to one from which the sinner is able to repent in sincere grief, appealing to God through Jesus for divine mercy. The sinner has actually renounced the Son of God as his...

You are in error. The scriptures show that those humans(Apostles,Disciples,etc) that are resurrected to heaven get a resurrection like Jesus who was rewarded with immortality and inherited incorruption when resurrected. So those humans who are resurrected into heaven they also are rewarded with...

The scriptures say the soul that is sinning dies, so according to the scriptures Souls do die, God can kill them. The flood is a testament to that fact. The scriptures nowhere say man has an immortal soul. Plus the scriptures show that the righteous as well as the unrighteous die because of sin...

No, this isn't true what you say and you have used the scriptures to say that person's don't die but continue living. That's calling God a liar. So you can continue to interpret the scriptures the way you are all you want to but you're still saying death is just another doorway to another plain...

Yes I am using the book Ecclesiastes. It's not my fault you don't see the book of Ecclesiastes as it should be seen. You are the one who says there is no death, by the way you define it. You're saying God put a spiritual person in the human body at creation which means not only was this...

Like the scriptures say the spirit in humans is the same spirit in animals. Also the scriptures tell us that when a person dies he has no more thoughts, so that means no more memories or emotions. The point is there was no spiritual person that went to God. If you believe that, then as I said...

Ephesians 4:8 isn't speaking of Jesus taking any resurrected person with him to heaven. When Paul used the expression “gifts in men,” he was quoting King David, who had said of Jehovah: “You have ascended on high; you have carried away captives; you have taken gifts in the form of men.” (Psalm...

BOSOM POSITION: In an illustration, Jesus spoke of a beggar named Lazarus who was carried at his death to “the bosom position of Abraham,” and John refers to Jesus as being in “the bosom position with the Father.” (Lu 16:22, 23; Joh 1:18) The expression “bosom position” alludes to one’s...

I disagree. Abraham's bosom is to be taken symbolically, not literally. If you take Abraham's bosom literally, then you're saying the person who we know as Adam is still living and like I said, if someone believes Adam is still living, they're calling God a liar. The scriptures show that before...
