This is why the encouragement to be a Berean (Acts of the Apostles 17:10-11) is so important, @Bobby Jo.

Rom 10:13, For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Rom 10:14, How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? Rom 10:15, And how shall they...

He would have to go to work in order to pay off his debt.

Except that faith, when it is living, produces works.

Proverbs 6:30-31.

And you will die in your sins because you reject the Deity of Jesus, John 8:24. But I know how stubborn JW's can be....so I am not going to try to convince you of the truth. Especially if you are not going to take the time to read what I have written on the subject.

Hos 14:1, O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. Hos 14:2, Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips. Hos 14:3, Asshur shall not save us; we will...

Not too bad that time. My only contention would be this.... Based on what you said previously, the answer is not "Nothing" it is, "ask, and you shall receive."

That would be persecution for righteousness' sake... My theology is a combination of trinitarian and modalist. I started a thread a while back on the issue (will post a link shortly)... True Trinity.

Eze 36:25, Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. Eze 36:26, A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I...

@mjrhealth, You obviously read the scriptures in order to be able to quote them to make your points. I could say to you what you have said to me, that you are unwilling to come to Christ in order that you may have life. And when you say it to me, it does not have any weight to it; because I...

He can make a rock as the Father (a Spirit inhabiting eternity, Isaiah 57:15) that, as the Son He cannot lift (in His humanity He may not be strong enough to lift it). God is in fact outside of time, dwelling in eternity. And therefore, if He were to descend and become a Man, He would not...

Who would even choose to die? Dying is something that happens to you. The matter that we do have a choice in is whether or not we allow sin to become fully grown within us so that it can produce death. I don't think that people indulge in sinful behaviour with the intention of dying spiritually.

As one who has had problems with mental illness, I find that I cannot trust voices of the mind to be the voice of Christ to me so that I can get to know Him; and I believe that my only other option is to get to know Him through His love letter to me.

Actually, keeping His commandments is the result of abiding in Christ. We abide in Christ by staying connected to the vine (John 15:1-8) through faith.

I get to know Christ better every day by reading His love letter to me; and I did answer your question.

Does anyone really understand everything that God is? It is written, Pro 3:5, Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Pro 3:6, In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Here is my take on it... As believers, we are not under the law (Romans 6:14), are dead to the law (Romans 7:4, Galatians 2:19), and are delivered from the law (Romans 7:6); so that the law no longer condemns us from the outside, as being written on tablets of stone (2 Corinthians 3:3). It...

2 Corinthians 4:16-18.

A right relationship with a father on this earth is one that includes fear; for a good father disciplines and chastens his children. There is also no lack of love in such a relationship (Proverbs 13:24).
