    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    I disagree with you that all Christians are in that covenant relationship with God Scott. Why? One has to simply read who he made the covenant with, and why. Remember there were millions of God's people there when Jesus made that covenant, and he only did it with his faithful 11 apostles. Only...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    I understand Byrd, it takes priority in my life however. Is there any way I can help you to see the importance of knowing His name?

    Jesus was made Lord and Christ at His resurrection

    That is very true Wrangler. I tend to focus on our salvation however, perhaps I am the one that satan talks about in Job 2, and with my thorns in the flesh that I have, no doubt if I knew for sure that I would definitely not receive the gift that God gives, everlasting life, I would be quite a...

    Jesus was made Lord and Christ at His resurrection

    No concern, would have to follow the conversations back, but I think we understand what Christ means differently sir. Christ simply means anointed. Messiah and Christ are the same word in different languages. Jesus and born again Christians are all anointed with holy spirit and immortal as well...

    When You Need Help

    Great post Walt and Deb, Prayer is essential, but so many times when people are distressed, or more accurately depressed, they sink. Prayer, assistance from fellow believers, meeting attendance, etc truly helps.

    The Lesson of Esau

    Esau was a good person Marks, Jehovah blessed him greatly. Jehovah understood in advance the heart of each of those twins, Jacob was more spiritually motivated than Esau, and as prophesied became the one through whom the blessings for man would come through. Mat 1:2

    What does the Bible say about Grace and Good Works?

    Hi Wynona, grace in more modern English is kindness maam. God's love and kindness moved Him to send His son in our behalf, and perhaps you are using it as a replacement word for faith, and if you are, faith and works are requirements for salvation as Jesus brother James recorded for us in...

    Do you believe building on spiritual foundations found on and in Christ are beneficial to you in the afterlife?

    In answer to your question Matt, yes I do sir. We do not believe that the sheep and goats are separated now, we believe it still yet future. But if we can maintain our integrity now, each and every test we pass will strengthen our faith to endure. Remember a true disciple of Christ has to endure...

    Jesus was made Lord and Christ at His resurrection

    You know Wrangler I am going to make a second comment on this. Likely you are aware where all these "Christian" faiths come from Acts 20:29,30. Obviously when they break away from the faith God no longer accepts them. You likely realize that there is only one faith God accepts Eph 4:5 and from...

    Understanding The Resurrection To Come

    Do you have scriptural support sir? See why I say it? I really do not understand why those of the first resurrection is recorded in the Bible as being immortal really. Since perfect Adam and Eve sinned, and 1/3 of the perfect angels sinned, what prevents them from sinning after all is said and...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    Acts 17:11; Rom 10:13; 2 Thes 1:6-9; 1 Thes 5:21 Same to you Byrd, we have to choose to stand on Jehovah's side sir, it is not automatic.

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    With the exception of the faithful and true witness which was the very beginning of the creation of God Rev 3:14 everything was in fact created through and for Jesus as you stated Scott, thus the reason why he is the master craftsman Pro 8:30. But since he is the firstborn of all creation...

    Jesus was made Lord and Christ at His resurrection

    Just an honest statement Wrangler. Pretty easy to see from peoples posts, for example most of the time you agree with me, and of course visa/versa, but as you can see many don't most of the time. Interestingly one guy posted something I agreed with, and then when I replied to it disagreed with...

    Jesus was made Lord and Christ at His resurrection

    Hi Wrangler, I understand your understanding of it, and he was the foretold Messiah/Christ the angels were telling God's shepherds in the field. But he was not anointed with holy spirit, thus the actual time he became the Christ until he was 30 yrs old. The one you posted was used for identity...

    No More I, But Sin That Lives In Me

    Like the Beach Boys said Jim, wouldn't it be nice. I guess you don't struggle with the desires of the flesh either. I just always took it for granted we all had our thorns in the flesh. I am very happy for you sir, but it is a struggle for me. I think age has helped considerably, but it is a...

    When was Jesus born?

    We really don't even know exactly how old Jesus was when he began his work, the Bible simply states about 30 yrs old. But since the Messiah was cut off at the half of the week (7yrs) and we know the actual date he died, going back that half year, we honestly believe he was born in the fall...

    No More I, But Sin That Lives In Me

    Thanks GB for asking me, and it is nice to speak with you. Serious sins are those sins if we practice we will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Many of those are listed at 1 Cor 6:9,10 they are: Those who are sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, men who submit to homosexual acts, men who...

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    It is our responsibility as God's people to make full proof of our ministry Scott 2 Tim 4:5. I believe in doing my utmost to do so, however just because I point out the Scriptural evidence of our teachings, it does not mean that you will accept it. So please mention one of those "false"...
