    Why are the 7 Churches in Revelation each greeted differently...

    The first vision, at Revelation 1:10–3:22, features stirring messages that the glorified Jesus conveys to the “angels,” or overseers, of seven Asian congregations that picture the entire global congregation of Jehovah’s people in “the Lord’s day.” These seven symbolic stars are seen to be upon...

    Was Adam, Eve and Creation "Perfect" or "Very Good"?

    Foreknowledge/Foreordination part 1 To understand the matter of foreknowledge and foreordination as relating to God, certain factors necessarily must be recognized. First, God’s ability to foreknow and foreordain is clearly stated in the Bible. Jehovah himself sets forth as proof of his...

    Was Adam, Eve and Creation "Perfect" or "Very Good"?

    The thought of perfection is expressed through Hebrew terms drawn from such verbs as ka·lalʹ (perfect [compare Eze 27:4]), sha·lamʹ (come to completion [compare Isa 60:20]), and ta·mamʹ (be completed, come to perfection [compare Ps 102:27;Isa 18:5]). In the Christian Greek Scriptures the words...

    Was Adam, Eve and Creation "Perfect" or "Very Good"?

    I think people when talking about Adam and Eve or this planet we live on being perfect, have to realize that absolute perfection applies to God alone. Everything and everyone else said to be perfect one has to understand that perfection applied to creation is relative. That is, a thing is...

    Was Adam, Eve and Creation "Perfect" or "Very Good"?

    I believe what I said about God being infallible stands, it's not going to change because you and others don't believe. You can say the omniscient of God is not questionable, but when people tell me they believe God saw that Adam was going to sin before he created Adam, then I'm going to...

    Was Adam, Eve and Creation "Perfect" or "Very Good"?

    Doesn't saying that evil and sin had been un-leashed on God's creation imply that evil and sin existed before Adam and Eve sinned. I find nowhere in scripture that evil or sin already existed before Adam and Eve sinned. I do see a serpent tempting Eve to be disobedient to the command God had...

    Without unconditional Election,no one would be saved.

    But Abraham was uncircumcised when he exercised the faith he had in God then God had Abraham circumcise himself his family and all those that belonged to Abraham. So those who are the seed of Abraham of faith like him are the circumcised and uncircumcised, isn't that true?

    Was Adam, Eve and Creation "Perfect" or "Very Good"?

    we all know that God is infallible he can't make mistakes and he can't be proved wrong. If God looked into the future before God created Adam and saw that he was going to sin are you saying that Adam had the ability or capacity to prove God wrong and be obedient instead of being disobedient. Do...

    Was Adam, Eve and Creation "Perfect" or "Very Good"?

    I believe you are not listening. God is infallible. If God looked into the future before creating Adam and saw that he would be disobedient as people say since as I said God is infallible then Adam could make no choice but to be disobedient, if he could choose to be obedient after God had...

    Was Adam, Eve and Creation "Perfect" or "Very Good"?

    I never said I didn't believe that God wasn't, " all-knowing". I simply disagree with your arbitrary definition of God's omniscient. Don't get me wrong people have a right to their beliefs, interpretation of scripture, and their definition of words such as omniscient. That however doesn't mean I...

    Was Adam, Eve and Creation "Perfect" or "Very Good"?

    Just because God knew what he created, meaning God knew because he created Adam with free will he had the capacity of disobedience doesn't mean he knew he would disobey. God is Love so God hopes and trusts His creation. That means God trusted and hoped Adam to be obedient. If God knew they would...

    Was Adam, Eve and Creation "Perfect" or "Very Good"?

    I understand that those who read things like, "God knows the end from the beginning" reason as you and others do that God knew Adam was going to eat from the forbidden tree before creating him but you really don't realize what you're saying about God when you reason that way. What I mean is if...

    Was Adam, Eve and Creation "Perfect" or "Very Good"?

    I'm so sick of people saying God wanted Adam and Eve to sin, so that glory of God's love and grace could be realized. I'm also sick of people saying that God knew Adam and Eve would sin when I see nowhere in scripture that says that. People tell us their interpretation or meaning of a phrase or...

    Be Comforted by this Scripture about the very near Rapture!

    I just don't agree with your interpretation of the scriptures. I just believe you focus on some scriptures concerning these two people but not all the scriptures. When I go by all the scriptures concerning these two people I simply believe the scriptures are saying something other than what you...

    Hell . . . The Bad News.

    I understand what a lot of people believe about hell/Hades/sheol, but in the Hebrew scriptures I believe sheol is simply the place where all the dead go whether they be righteous or unrighteous. Also I believe it must be understood that the words sheol/Hades/hell are to be thought of...

    Be Comforted by this Scripture about the very near Rapture!

    Enoch and Elijah were not taken to heaven. They both were taken from one place to another place on Earth. Just like Phillip was taken from one place and taken to another place on Earth.

    John 1:1 "let scripture interpret scripture!"

    objects a trinitarian, are you not forgetting what Jesus said to the apostle Philip? What was that? This: “Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father.” (John 14:9, AV) Ah, yes, but that is far different from Jesus’ saying...

    John 1:1 "let scripture interpret scripture!"

    I agree that The True God Jehovah was and is working through his Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ and The True God Jehovah did many miracles and saving acts and that The True God Jehovah is fulfilling prophecy through his Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ. Does that mean Jesus Christ is the True God...

    John 1:1 "let scripture interpret scripture!"

    Why could Jehovah say, as recorded at Deuteronomy 32:39, “There are no gods together with me,” when John 1:1 states that “the Word was with God, and the Word was a god”? Viewed in their proper setting, these texts in no way contradict each other. They are discussing entirely different matters...
