    Omnipresence of God

    Does God Dwell in One Place? Various religions describe God as omnipresent, a term suggesting that God dwells in all places simultaneously. For example, the New Catholic Encyclopedia refers to God as the one “who is actually present in all existing places and things.” Likewise, John Wesley...

    Can A Christian Commit Suicide And Go To Heaven? (Absolutely Not)

    When it comes to judging people concerning suicides I don't judge. How do you know that the persons who killed his/her self are not mentally sick or whatever. I find it very interesting how we all are very quick to judge people as though we know them cause we been around them 24/7 and know all...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Justbyfaith made the statement above in response to only part of something I said, to make it appear that he and I agreed with something I said. What I said was: [The fact you believe the Pharisees were right in their accusations against Jesus shows your heart is just as incompassionate and...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    The fact is the perfect Son of God obeyed all of God’s laws, never violating even one Divine precept (Hebrews 4:15). Sin is defined as violation of God’s law (1 John 3:4). Since Jesus was sinless, He never broke God’s laws. Hence, He could not have broken the Sabbath. Those who leveled such an...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    The scriptures show that as long as Adam and Eve refrained from eating the forbidden fruit they wouldn't die, and they knew the difference between good and bad. They clearly understood that it would be wrong or bad if they ate the forbidden fruit and good if they refrained from eating the...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    No you don't understand. You keep going by your opinion I'm using Scripture to show that Jesus was saying right out that the Pharisees were disciples of Satan, Jesus never comes right out and says anything like that concerning his Apostles or disciples or the common Jews for that matter, but he...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Did you not even read those scriptures when God was dealing with Adam and Eve after they sinned. Neither one was repenting of what they did they were just trying to make excuses, but they had no legitimate excuse for what they did. Adam if you you listen to the answer he gave God when God asked...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    What the scriptures show us and the point you continue missing is that in Scripture Jesus shows us as a class or organization the Pharisees were Satan disciples. Jesus came right out and told them that Satan was their father and these are the people you believe, not Jesus but his enemies...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    No it's religious organizations like Christendom that's misleading people. For instance the organization called Pharisees which Jesus said was a organization that belonged to Satan is the people you believe in. The fact that you agree with the Pharisees that Jesus was guilty of something shows...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    If you or anyone else wants to take scriptures from any part of the Bible to try to convince me that God doesn't love all intelligent beings that he brought into existence go ahead. I know for certain that before that Angel that became Satan actually became Satan and a devil, God loved him. Now...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    I understand you truly believe the things you say are true and scriptural. However take what you said concerning the Pharisees and Scribes. Regarding the Pharisees as a class or organization Jesus let's us know their organization or class belonged to Satan, that they were Satan disciples or that...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Actually he isn't, but I don't expect someone who denies Jesus is the Christ, The Son of God to believe the truth. You and others like you who continue to deny Jesus is the Christ The Son of God will remain lost until you choose to believe the truth if you actually do choose to believe the truth...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Love is not new. After all, what moved Jehovah to begin creating? It was not that he was lonely and needed companionship. Jehovah is complete and self-contained, lacking nothing that someone else might supply. But his love, an active quality, naturally moved him to want to share the joys of life...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, you are completely wrong for saying God doesn't love the Angels. The True God Jehovah is love. Everything he does is motivated by love. He brought other life into existence because he loved life so much he wanted to share life with others. That includes Angels. God wants Angels...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    I choose to believe Scripture that says Jesus is the firstborn of creation(Colossians 1:15) and Jesus is the beginning of creation by God(Revelation 3:14). These two show us from scripture that Jesus is a part of creation. This statement you made: "He brought forth out of himself an extension of...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Justbyfaith is saying that Jesus is the “God” referred to at Hebrews 1:8, is that true? No. The weight of the evidence indicates that it is Jehovah. According to the New World Translation, Hebrews 1:8 says: “But with reference to the Son: ‘God is your [the Son’s] throne forever and ever.’” This...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    ONLY-BEGOTTEN The Greek word mo·no·ge·nesʹ is defined by lexicographers as “single of its kind, only,” or “the only member of a kin or kind.” (Thayer’s Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament, 1889, p. 417; Liddell and Scott’s Greek-English Lexicon, Oxford, 1968, p. 1144) The term is used in...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    The Bible calls Jesus the “only-begotten Son” of God. (John 1:14;3:16, 18; 1 John 4:9) Trinitarians say that since God is eternal, so the Son of God is eternal. But how can a person be a son and at the same time be as old as his father? Trinitarians claim that in the case of Jesus...

    A little about JW's

    We believe the Word to be Jesus Christ Which the scriptures teach us is the Only Begotten Son of God. John's gospel at chapter 20 verses 30,31 he tells us that everything he wrote was to teach that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. This what we Jehovah's witnesses believe.
