    What is the purpose of : Evil

    You are correct Ferris, the fallen angels and you likely know as well that all those who sin against the holy spirit will not be redeemed.

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    Did you know that grace means kindness today Ferris, a much easier word to understand. It is hard to understand 2 Pet 3:9 as being kind, but those of us who know the outcome, do see the wisdom in that statement, and why He has allowed this system to go on so long. When He does send His forces to...

    The Devil in both testaments

    Hi John, welcome to the forum sir. The devil, also known as satan, it the original angel who rebelled sir, from his first mention in Genesis, to his last in Revelation. Did you know that his name is not actually given in the Bible? he is referred to by several identifiers however, even called...

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    You would literally be surprised at the number of people who actually say they are without sin maam. Puzzles the heck out of me, I sin every single day. The world is designed to see to it that individuals do sin every day. You know though, one day in the near future that will not be the case.

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    Again, who is the God of Jesus sir? You do realize that if Jesus is God, he is the very thing the Bible promotes satan to be, correct? He would be the biggest liar and deceiver in the history of mankind, if we cannot trust his words, what hope do we have? I am very serious here BH and want an...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    Figuratively sir, satan told Eve she could be like God choosing for herself what is good and bad. By eating of the fruit, in essence she asked God to butt out, she would choose for herself, in other words be her own god. Adam chose to join her in her rebellion. I personally believe Jehovah...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    Care to explain what you think I said that makes you think that way? Oh boy, do I owe you an apology sir, because of time and length many times I speed read and sometimes misunderstand posts. I misunderstood you to say that God caused Joseph's brothers to do evil to him, my mistake, and I fully...

    Whom Should we Follow?

    Yes sir, in fact I live this: (1 Thessalonians 5:21, 22) . . .Make sure of all things; hold fast to what is fine. 22 Abstain from every form of wickedness. I have identified the faith, I live the faith, and I am very honest about that. However I am far from knowing it all sir, so if you observe...

    Idolators Mock the Godhead

    The Word which I think we agree refers to Jesus, was in fact with Him in the beginning as Jn 1:1 states, what is that beginning? I believe it means the beginning of Creation, perhaps you can enlighten me on what you think it means sir.

    What is the most important decision you will have to make in life?

    I fully realize that Jay, the Bible is quite clear that most will choose to reject the Way sir. Worshiping Jehovah is a requirement for salvation, and most do reject that, which we as His witnesses have to accept, however like Him, we continue on declaring the good news as there are still some...

    Was Jesus a 'created being?'

    There you have it sir, one of us don't, sad but true. I personally think it has to do with honesty, but am not really sure, the Bible's explanation of it is found at 2 Cor 4:4, and in reality that is the true explanation as God's word can never be in error.

    Eph 2:8

    Yes sir it does, although that was written to the anointed in Ephesus, it applies to all of the anointed. The Bible assures us that at the time of Jesus' return there would still be holy ones existing who would then meet him in the air 1 Thes 4:17 I am sorry if I led you to believe otherwise sir.

    Many believers Do WHAT?

    Then it should be easy for you to discern Grace, those who do not obey it, are not really believers, correct? Jesus stated very clearly that you would be able to identify his followers by their fruits, if the fruits are lacking, then they are not his followers.

    "This Generation" declared by Jesus.

    Thank you Scott, same here sir. I am very happy that we agreed on the more important things. I think that the actual time factor is somewhat irrelevant as we both realize it will happen.

    Wanna know how to exceed the Pharisees?

    People have been invited from the time of the new covenant Amad, and it has always been through the disciples sent by Christ. The passage in Isa was for the last days, perhaps you realize that there was to be an apostasy, and although Jehovah never leaves Himself without witness, it would appear...

    Are you prepared?

    Sure Taken, no doubt you have read it many times, but perhaps not picked up on the changing. You have likely read that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom, and this is speaking of the heavenly Kingdom, not the earthly part. So, those who are "raptured" and live in heaven have to die to...

    How to understand : Jesus as your sin bearer > The Result

    The Bible clearly states that the "gift" that God gives is everlasting life, so you cannot earn it Be, but you likely realize that those who receive it are few Mat 7:14. Me personally I believe that works are necessary by capability Mat 7:21, time will tell if you are correct however. I will say...

    Wise vs. Foolish Virgins

    Yes sir, I fully agree that the adherents of the true faith will keep the commandments of God, so what are the commandments that we keep sir?

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    Many people wouldn't consider it as such Ferris, why do you think it was a kindness from God the way He handled it?

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    Hi Ferris, yes satan rejected Jehovah, and deceived Eve, but it was Adams rejection of Jehovah that sealed us into death. Rom 5:12. satan was quite clear in what he told Eve, although still somewhat deceptive. he told her she could be like God, choosing for herself what was right and wrong. In...
