    Christian Idealism

    Amen Robert! Couldn't agree more sir. But take heart, the door is not shut yet, more and more individuals are reached daily, and Jehovah will not let one righteous individual be destroyed with the wicked. Gen 18:23-33

    Who has the authority…

    No maam, I did not state that at all, I said you make the interpretation for yourself, since most will not receive salvation, then their interpretation obviously was wrong, but they were given the free will to choose. Revelation however is something different, God has always revealed His truths...

    How did demons get so evil?

    Sorry maam, I disagree, only 8 persons survived the flood, and none were nephilim, the nephilim was a large factor in Jehovah bringing the flood, when the demons returned to the spirit realm, Jehovah no longer allowed them to become flesh and have offspring. It is true they can possess...

    You are Jesus' friend if:

    I read most all that is directed to me unless they are more than 3 paragraphs or several different topics. I just wanted to let you know in case you didn't because you had several posts on the same topic.

    You are Jesus' friend if:

    When was the last time you and your family went to Jerusalem to sacrifice in the temple? You see sir, that is why it is necessary to understand the law and requirements. Jesus was the end of the Law, Christians live under a new law, although many of the laws of the Law covenant have been carried...

    Who has the authority…

    All Christians eventually get baptized in water sir, all who are born again were baptized in water before they were baptized by holy spirit. Water baptism is symbolic of death to your former course of life, and a rebirth of a new life living for Jehovah. A public demonstration of your faith and...

    Who has the authority…

    Are you suggesting they authored literature outside the Bible sir, or did you misread my response?

    Noble Believers 3

    What I liked about them Mike is the fact that they didn't just accept Pauls words as gospel, but they listened, and then examined for themselves what the scripture really said. Many people take the word of their pastor as gospel, and don't even examine to see if what he says is true.

    The seven days of creation

    There are actually 6 days of creation John, and God rested on the 7th. We are actually in the 7th day still, and Paul pointed out that it was still going on in his day Heb 4:3-6. Most likely each creative day is not the same exact length, nor were they 24 hours each.

    A Revelation Phrase

    Another great question John, when the Kingdom comes, death will be no more Rev 21:4, so with no one dying and everyone released from hell in the resurrection, there is no longer a need for it. So they are cast into the lake to no longer exist.

    A Gospel Of John Phrase

    Great question John, the beginning is the beginning of creation, the Word is Jesus, called that because he is God's spokesman, and since Jesus (the Word) was the very first creation of God, with that beginning of creation he is right there with God.

    How are human beings similar to trees? (Mark 8:22-25)

    I see no prophetic significance in that Matt, it was simply literal, his vision did not return instantaneously, rather was progressive, what he literally saw was humans walking but to him they looked like trees walking about, then Jesus laid his hands on him again and his eyes adjusted fully...

    Is there a city existing today called Jerusalem: according to God and his word?

    As far as relating to God's people not a literal city, but there is a figurative one. Isa 2:2,3 speaks of this, and it occurs in the last days, the time period we live in. There is no literal city, or mountain, or house of the God of Jacob at this time, but it is being fulfilled of course. Jesus...

    Another Revelation Phrase

    Hi John, welcome to the forum sir, Revelation is not a great place to start for a fact. A verse by verse breakdown is available for download or viewing at this link: https://www.jw.org/en/library/books/?contentLanguageFilter=en&pubFilter=re&sortBy=1 We do have a wonderful new interactive Bible...

    Each of us as we get older generally answer this crucial question:

    Excellent sir, we even agree on that as well. Why? Because satan is very deceptive, as is his followers. They can deceive an unprotected individual into believing they are people of Jehovah, so it is very important to accept the Bible's identification of His people. We have progressed to that...

    Restitution

    Mt 24 is a rather clear chapter I believe Jay. Jesus gave the signs of his presence, and I might not believe it myself if the brothers hadn't put into print in 1879 that this would begin in 1914, in fact we point blank didn't understand it then either. Non Christian history confirms that WW#1...

    Christians are not sinners

    There is not a passage in the Bible that I do not believe maam. But there are likely many that I do not believe the same way you do. Most of the Greek passages are written to those who are born again Lady, and I see no reason to think that 1st John was any different. But I will say that just...

    Does God want us to use His name?

    I always strive to live the faith sir, and I am always open to discuss it if someone feels I am not living up to it. I am far from perfect and constantly learning even from those not of my faith, so if you observe something that I can improve upon please mention it, especially if you see...

    What are concrete suggestions when it comes to Bible Study?

    Yes sir Thinkr, I am very religious, I live my life in obedience to the faith. As a disciple of Christ, I will state, it is imperative that you know him, at the very least his gospel, as obedience to the gospel is a requirement for preservation upon Jesus' return 2 Thes 1:8, also notice in that...

    The Garden of Eden

    Yes maam, I am suggesting that it was not placed there to foreshadow Christ. You and I agree that Proverbs 8 is not speaking of wisdom itself, rather it is speaking about Jesus. Many faiths recognize that as well, and we use one of it's verses to show that Jesus was created, v22. The beginning...
