    What is meant by “The Little Flock”?

    When in doubt, it is best to follow the faithful slave's interpretation Amad, after all they are the ones assigned to do the feeding and shepherding of Jesus' sheep. If you have a different interpretation, then it is best to obey theirs, unless you are absolutely sure, as whatever you choose...

    Who has the authority…

    Yes maam, thank you very much for asking. You are quite correct in what you say, however that only applies if they are in harmony with the Bible's teachings as you might agree. Jesus stated concerning taxes, render to Caesar those things which are Caesars, but God's things to God. That account...

    The resurrection

    I have hope toward God that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous Acts 24:15 The resurrection of the dead is part of the foundation, or primary doctrine of Christian teachings. The resurrection hope helps Christians to stand firm under opposition, and...

    The Ransom

    \ What was lost was great Be, Adam lost life for us, and Gods law requires equality for justice, in this case soul for soul, however no human could redeem us from Adam because we were all imperfect, therefore God sent Jesus, who was a sinless human as well as a corresponding ransom. What Adam...

    Bible not coming "alive" to me anymore

    Please do not think this is callous Friend. I know it is going to sound like it though. God has one group of people who represent Him. He has had only one nation since the first covenant. Under the new covenant, He still has only one faith that belongs to Him. The Bible identifies that faith...

    Is Man Mortal or Immortal?

    Yes sir, fully agree. Man has always been, and will always be mortal. Out of all creation there are only as far as I know 144,001 who have immortality, and believe me I do not understand that. We believe of course that Jehovah sees the finale from the beginning, and when He granted immortality...

    Why Do Christians Pray “Thy Kingdom Come”?

    Looks like this topic has ran it's course Be.

    What is meant by “The Little Flock”?

    Again, Jesus said God's word is truth. A person speaks truth if he is speaking in accord with the Bible Amad. Jesus always spoke truth, he never lied, therefore as you correctly stated he is referred to as truth as well. I will state quite frankly, no Christian states absolute truth, not one. I...

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

    The difference is that we believe only Christ's brothers will be "raptured". The vast majority of Christian will be preserved through the tribulation. Although I really do not want to live through the tribulation, those who do will never have to die. I guess for those who survive it, it would...

    What prophesy still needs to be fulfilled?

    Thanks Jay for your input. We believe that the millennium starts when Jesus finishes the battle of Armageddon. Yet we believe he received the crown and became King in 1914. I am definitely not up to speed when it comes to understanding that. So based upon that, we too believe that the whole...

    Does God want us to use His name?

    Like you personally stated Isa is speaking about Jehovah. As far as Hosea 5, it is speaking of Jehovah as well, however not about a place, that was simply your interpretation. It was speaking about Jehovah's favor, He turned His back on them so to speak until as the verse stated, until they...

    Who has the authority…

    Yes sir that is a fact. Do you believe the Bible identifies the faith?

    Confusion about the Law.

    You are correct no one has to obey Jehovah's commands, but those who love Him do 1 Jn 5:3. If you disobey the serious commands, you will not inherit the Kingdom 1 Cor 6:10. You are correct that salvation is not based on works, and the gift is the same for all, everlasting life. So what is the...

    Bible alone

    Subject ran it's course sir.

    Christian Losers

    Lesser reward sir? Perhaps. Among mankind 144k were bought by Jesus blood to serve as Kings and Priests in the Kingdom of God. Are those with this privilege greater? Again perhaps. You do understand they have to serve, correct? While I would accept the position if I were called, I am so very...

    Christian Losers

    I have never considered Christians as losers Rob. I guess that if God doesn't exist, and we do not receive our reward, we could be losers. But when you really think about it, living the faith gives us the best, happiest life possible don't you think? So even if we do not receive the gift of...

    Who has the authority…

    Jesus assigned a faithful slave to shepherd the congregation giving them the food as it is revealed to them. So interpretations come through them. But, yes but, you have the final authority in interpretation, as you are accountable on it. As you can see, Eve was given a command and satan...

    Why Do Christians Pray “Thy Kingdom Come”?

    I understand Be, they are not spoken of often, in fact only once I think. From the time God selected a covenanted people He put in place governing people, and it never changed. At the beginning it was Moses, then became prophets, priests, kings, and during Jesus' day the Sanhedrin was the...
