Sure, the Bible does in fact define what death is sir. As you know God forewarned Adam and Eve that if they ate of the fruit of one tree in the garden they would die. (Genesis 2:16, 17) . . .God also gave this command to the man: “From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. 17 But...

I either made my point or I didn't. Like I said the original Bible doesn't exist, so it is simply guesswork anyway. Perhaps that source is incorrect, but I am sure that of the oldest surviving manuscripts that they have correctly shown what was not there. Both of us stated that words were added...

Who did Jesus say God was Post?

Great glad we agree, so do you then believe the God of Jesus, the one he declared to his followers is God sir? The rest of your post does not seem to indicate that Scott.

Of course his disciples still call him Jesus, but more accurately he returned to heaven back to his own life, we believe he is Michael, the highest angel.

Great! We agree on Sheol and Hades, as being the abode of the dead. It might be notable to add that Sheol is translated hell 31x, grave 31x, and pit 3x in the King James version of the Bible, and Hades hell in all of it's occurrances. So all those are the same thing, with grave accurately...

So since we agree that he was not deceptive, then do you agree that his God that he promoted and made known His name is in fact God sir?

Which Israel?

Being made in God's image did not mean looks sir, it meant qualities. Perhaps you can see the difference between humans and the closest to human animal distinctions. All creation created in God's image have the ability to think and make choices. Those choices are regulated by God's laws however...

Why not finish what God said to Moses sir, is there a particular reason why you didn't?

There are many requirements Rl, but the answer is yes. It is rather obvious that you have to be calling on the name of the true God, you aren't thinking one could be calling on baal and believe that Jehovah is going to give you salvation are you?

Great point maam. God's gift to man has always been life eternal. Heaven only opened as a necessity, and only those chosen to go will go. God created the earth for physical creatures.

Never seen it phrased that way, but you are right on maam.

Hi Vicky, good to see your new post maam. Kinda give me a little giggle from the mental image I got. Sometimes understanding a verse requires in understanding who it was written to and how they would have related to it. The cutting edge transportation of the day was of course animals, and the...

You are very correct Ket, God placed the judging in Jesus' hands, but we have to learn and obey the teachings of the law of the Christ if we want to be judged favorably. Obedience is the key, and we have to do it God's way, not worship God the way we want to.

Just simply truth, as you stated in your reply Ron. Those words were added for understanding. Have you ever looked at some of the oldest manuscripts? I have seen bits and pieces. I have one app that puts what originally was written in blue, and the added words are black. I will give you a...

Thanks for your input Rj, I was not in error sir, you just carried it out to the superlative degree. Sin is quite literally violating God's laws. Sin is still the reason why we die. Serious sins practiced now can result in our losing out on everlasting life as well 1 Cor 6:9,10

I am one of Jehovah's witnesses Be, and it is my intent to make full proof of my ministry 2 Tim 2:4. If you post one of our teachings you feel we are in error on, I will be glad to give you the Scriptural reasons for why we believe the way we do sir.

I believe Jesus was sacrificed Scott, and that he went back to being the spirit being he was before, only having full knowledge of who he was during his time on earth. Jesus did not have knowledge of his previous life to any great extent anyway, until his baptism at 30 yrs of age, then the...

Yes sir, exactly!
