    Who has the authority…

    Baptism does not save you maam, the Bible clearly shows that most will not be saved, but most are baptized. How can water wash away sins? People sin after their baptism as well. Perhaps we will have to disagree on this point, as I have explained our beliefs on the subject. All who are saved are...

    baptism is rendered meaningless!! Baptism is a requriement for maturing Christians sir Faith alone apart from the sacraments Questions where does scripture says we have died with Christ by “faith alone”? It doesn't Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ...

    Who has the authority…

    No sir, I have not said that. God's inspired word is limited to Scripture alone. Explanations/revelations of God's word today comes through the assigned faithful slave. Mat 24:45-47

    What is meant by “The Little Flock”?

    You know Amad, it is kind of interesting, that when we die we are acquitted of sin Rom 6:7, and all who die will receive a resurrection, with the exception of those who sinned against the holy spirit. Rev 20:13. Our reward, everlasting life will not be given us until we pass the test of satans...

    Hi Mary, the Bible identifies the faith beyond any doubt, and it is rather easy to see. Just as you stated there are over 2 billion who claim to be Christian at this time, however most of those are not in the one faith as you likely recognize, but are distributed over thousands of sects...

    You are Jesus' friend if:

    Sorry Happy, we must disagree, when was the last time you went to Jerusalem to make your sacrifices? Perhaps this explanation from Paul might help: (Romans 6:14) . . .For sin must not be master over you, seeing that you are not under law but under undeserved kindness. (Romans 7:6) . . .now we...

    You are Jesus' friend if:

    Hi Eloy, nice speaking with you sir. That is a very good verse to post, most Bibles render that seventy times seven, which of course is a lot more times, and I think a more accurate rendering, but the point is really to be limitless in your forgiveness. I find this hard to do, but you are...

    The Afterlife in The Bible and the world

    This may surprise you John, but no one goes to hell forever. In fact the Bible clearly states that all those in hell will be resurrected Rev 20:13 Would you like to discuss what hell actually is sir?

    The deaths of Steven and Jesus

    They knew who Jesus was John, so in my personal opinion they did not want his blood to be on their hands. More accurately however Pilate as the emperor’s representative, exercised full control of the province. He could impose the death sentence, and according to those endorsing the view that the...

    The New kingdom of God

    My favorite verse sir: (Psalm 145:16) . . .You open your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing.

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    Hi Matt, we still do not know the day or hour, however we believe we are getting very close. The scene of this world is drastically changing, and with just a little insight it is easy to see how world conditions could escalate into the great tribulation. I truly am not looking forward to it, but...

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

    The parallel prophecy is clearer APAK, it points out that the kings of the earth are still ruling and peoples are serving their false gods: (Micah 4:5) . . .For all the peoples will walk, each in the name of its god, But we will walk in the name of Jehovah our God forever and ever. If that...

    Restitution

    Thanks Jay, time alone will reveal the truth, as of now most of Bible chronology is opinion anyway, when dealing with prophecy. I state openly we are near the outbreak of the great tribulation, only time will reveal when it will actually come.

    Does God want us to use His name?

    I gave you the opportunity to show Jesus being called Yahweh, but you were unable to do it. So if you care to try again, more power to you sir. The Watchtower you have mentioned many times, not myself. I discuss the Bible, it is God's inspired word, so forget your hangup with the Watchtower...

    Christians are not sinners

    I quoted the passage maam, what it means is that many will accept the requirements and gain life, however although it is open to all, everyone in the world, only a small percentage will accept the sacrifice. So yes Jesus did die for the world, but although many will accept it, they will be few...

    Christians are not sinners

    I seriously doubt that any Bible penman will not be redeemed Rob, although some think Solomon might not be. I prefer to believe however that treasures in heaven cannot be taken away, and that God is not evil by forgetting what one has done for Him Mat 6:19,20; Heb 6:10

    The Garden of Eden

    Did not God know from the beginning what men would do? I believe He knows the finale from the beginning, but I certainly hope He chose to not know Adam would sin. Would you put all living things through what they have had to endure? I wouldn't, in fact I have proven that as I chose not to have...

    What is meant by “The Little Flock”?

    At this time Amad, we have the assignment found at Mat 28:19,20, we know that we are still under that assignment as the world has not yet ended Mat 24:14, once the great tribulation comes, that may signal the end of this assignment, although I am unsure if any more will be allowed to be reached...
