Indeed, but is that good as men understand as good enough to please God and allow a man to always dwell with Him? No sir, as Sovereign ruler, God expects our wholesouled devotion as well as our obedience to His commandments. Mat 22:37; 1 Jn 5:3

The holy spirit is a definite driving force for sure Amad. One of the benefits of being a Christian is the fruitages of that spirit, vs the works of the flesh recorded for us at Gal 5:19-23. The sad thing is, that even amongst us Christians, in our imperfection we sometimes display those works...

In the context we were speaking, that heaven was the residence of God and the angels sir. Our atmosphere is also called the heavens. You may very well be correct that it has other usages, but that is pretty much the extent of my knowledge on heaven(s).

Why is the earth the way it is Gen? The Kingdom is not handed over yet, and all things are not subjected to Jehovah as of now. The next step in the Kingdom arrangement is for the return of Jesus, on which we agree, however when he returns he will remove all those who do not know God, or obey the...

Obedience is the Key Faith, obey God and He will give you the "peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus".(Philippians 4:7)

Pilate asked Jesus what is truth, and Jesus said in prayer that God's word is truth. Most accept the Bible is God's inspired word, therefore is the truth Rob. Since there are over 10,000 different faiths claiming to be God's people, no doubt an amount of debating on Scripture is expected. It is...

Did you catch who the new covenant was made with Faith?

Have you ever put yourself in the shoes of God's people who underwent a changeover to a new covenant? How hard it might be to accept. God had a nation, a covenanted people of Abrahams descendants for centuries, when a seeming criminal apostate put into force a new covenant, open to all peoples...

Not really Bob, Jesus said who he was. Did you know that Jesus' use of the holy spirit, which actually comes from God, was limited? Surprised me when I first read it, Jesus didn't really receive the holy spirit until his return to heaven Acts 2:33. Do you find that as interesting as I did when I...

Yes Scott, I relate to your summation, but moreso on the Bible's message, most seem to want it, yet choose to reject it, makes no sense to me, so obviously 2 Cor 4:4 comes into fulfillment here.

Yep, a staggering number. I on the other hand believe that Jesus is actually who he says he is maam, while not as great in number, there are quite a few of us.

Consider Amad, extremely few people on earth are being "led by holy spirit". Yet many people are good people sir, and do actually put into practice the golden rule. I know a manager of a Steak and Shake that is outstanding, I cannot imagine anyone not liking him, he truly stands out, yet he is...

Heaven is a place Amad. It is the realm of the spirit world, in this aspect. When Jesus came down to earth, he was no longer residing in heaven, but did return to heaven a short time after his resurrection. This is a good verse to compare versions with, as well as Greek to English Lexicons or...

That was fulfilled by 1914 with the casting of satan and the demons from heaven to earth. But there is another step for Jesus' spirit enemies, they will soon be locked away from the earth for the entire time of the millennial reign of Christ. Sadly after that they will be released to roam the...

Hi Matt, I think my favorite verse of 1 Jn is 5:3. If anyone ever wonders if they love God, and at times I have, so it may be more common that we think, the verse helps you to see if you truly love God or not.

Even more importantly, now is the comparable time to when Noah was preaching righteousness, soon Jehovah will lock the door, as He did on the ark. Now is the time to take note, the shortcoming of those who died in the flood. Mat 24:39

It is kinda silly isn't it Grace, imagine trying to tempt God by offering Him all the Kingdoms of the world to bow down to satan. It would be funny if so many people didn't believe it, but it is staggering the number of people that do.

Interesting sir, glad you brought that out. Seems like it is simply a common sense rule, could you imagine how the world would be if even 25% put it into practice?

Yes Scott, he was given authority when he returned to heaven, actually taking the number 2 position just under Jehovah 1 Cor 11:3. But likely you remember he would sit at his Fathers right hand for a period of time, correct? It is difficult to understand, but the prophecy of when he would become...

No sir, Jesus resides in heaven. May I ask how you came to that conclusion Bob?
