    Were the Church Fathers Sent by God?

    Apostles haven't been around since the first century Rich, but there are millions of disciples today. The Jews of the covenant are the bride of Christ sir. The rest of us, what you call Gentiles are the citizens of the Kingdom under their rulership.

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

    You understand it to be so sir, and looking at those verses exclusively I would agree with you, however the Alpha and Omega is a title that belongs exclusively to Jehovah, in all it's 3 occurrences.

    The Garden of Eden

    Yes maam, I think you explained it well. We are all one, although Jesus has true claim because he is sinless, but we can be one in that group through his sacrifice. Jesus himself explained it best at Jn 17: 20-22) . . .“I make request, not concerning these only, but also concerning those...

    Bible Study - Mark 9:30 - 50 - Study Notes For Curious Others

    Wouldn't it be great Matt if people of all faiths could have everlasting life? Many people believe this is true, but sadly the Bible seems to promote that all must accept the faith the Bible identifies as belonging to God. But at least the Bible identifies the path beyond any doubt so that...

    Elijah and Jesus

    Hi John, you might find this interesting sir, Jesus actually said of John the Baptist: (Matthew 11:12-14) . . .From the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of the heavens is the goal toward which men press, and those pressing forward are seizing it. 13 For all, the Prophets and the...

    Point blank they are not sir.

    Can you be saved if you don't believe in the diety of Christ?

    or better, can you if you do? Not likely, as it is not true. Jehovah is God, and Jesus is His son, that is what the Bible really teaches friend.

    Were the Church Fathers Sent by God?

    Hi Rich, the apostle Paul was personally chosen by Jesus to be an apostle to the nations sir. Actually Jesus made a new covenant with his faithful apostles on the night of his death, and it went into force on Pentecost of that year. They would continue to be chosen and then anointed by holy...

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

    Amen Thinkr, do you know who those passages are referring to sir? and why did you remove the word God after Lord at Rev 1:8? Re 1:8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.ASV

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

    Sad you think it a game Invissy. I on the other hand believe that Jehovah is, and becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking Him. Have a good one sir.

    The four horsemen of the apocalypse

    Hi Oseas, thank you sir for your compliment. God's people do that regularly for sure. Of course, when answering someones question, one would want to keep it simple and to the point. We certainly would not want to get too carried away with words plenty.

    Does God want us to use His name?

    The term Alpha and Omega occurs 3 times in Scripture and is a title that is actually exclusive to Jehovah sir, although both Jesus and Jehovah are called the first and last.

    163 Reasons The LORD JESUS Christ Is Almighty God!!!

    Best use a more accurate translation Rob, LORD is actually Jehovah unaltered. You have been told that and should understand that by now, but if you need to do further research, please do. This is very critical sir, as those who do not know God upon Jesus return will be destroyed 2 Thes 1:6-9

    How did demons get so evil?

    Hi Forrest, nice speaking to you sir. Yes sad but true, imperfect people are inherently bad, we have to struggle to be worthy of being judged as sheep in God's eyes. One of the best verses in the Bible to live by is the well known golden rule as it has been called: Do unto others as you would...

    Who has the authority…

    Great question maam, I am glad you asked. The Bible answers that as well. It was prophesied a great apostasy would occur 2 Thes 2:3, and it was well established by the end of the apostles lives. 1 Jn 2:18,19. It had been escalating for many yrs before John penned that Acts 20:29,30. Even in the...

    How did demons get so evil?

    The difference here is our understanding. You have now established there were unusually large people after the flood, I agree. However, we most likely are in disagreement on what the nephilim are, they were half angel, human mothers, angelic fathers. Do you agree with that? After the flood...

    Who has the authority…

    Fact is maam, the Bible does say that baptism saves you, but the true fact is as well, that many who are baptized will not receive salvation, and many who are not, will. Believe it or not. Baptism is a step that maturing Christians take in their path of becoming a disciple.

    GRACE ... is more than unmerited favor!

    We believe that the original word leaned toward unmerited, hence the reason why it it translated undeserved kindness in the NWT, however I would have personally left it out as it is deroggatory to God in my opinion, it makes it seem as if He haughtily does not care. We believe Him to be love...

    You are Jesus' friend if:

    We don't speak in Hebrew, so we refer to the Holy writings as the Bible today. Paul stated openly he was not under law, we Christians today are not under the same laws of the Law Covenant. Yes we Christians are under the same requirements as the Israel of God Gal 6:16 with which the new covenant...
