    Fear

    I would imagine truth be told most Christians start that way sir. We hear some of the message, get a glimmer of our sins and responsibilities towards God, and starting with a personal prayer start growing to maturity. The key of course is to continue in that growth, because we all expect to...

    John 20:19

    That is why Sunday is still considered to be the first day of the week, even though most of the world look at it as the last day. Jesus was resurrected on a Sunday, and appeared to others on that very same day, which as you pointed out was recorded as being the "first day"

    Christian Perfection

    I think I explained my position quite clearly Rob, I believe you simply disagree. Adam was in fact perfect sir, the reason the second Adam had to be sent rather than another human providing the ransom. A corresponding ransom redeems, equal for equal.

    Was Jesus a spirit being before coming to earth as a human?

    How could you possibly get that from my written response Scott? To deny Jesus came in the flesh has all sorts of connotations. The Bible is quite clear sir: (John 1:14) . . .the Word became flesh and resided among us. . .

    To get the most from your Bible reading:

    You know Paul you made a very interesting and truthful statement, very likely everyone you know and the majority of people on the earth have said that prayer, and truthfully do not want it to happen. So many say those words not actually realizing what they are petitioning God for. All of us...

    Is it true that the people have destiny? yes and that is to be a servant

    I think we agree on hell Paul, the wages of sin is death, and hell is actually the abode of the dead. Jesus was not a sinner by any means, yet he died and the Bible stated clearly that he went to hell. All who survive the tribulation, are those who have been judged as sheep, in other words...

    Was Jesus a spirit being before coming to earth as a human?

    Do you believe the Bible contradicts itself Post? (John 1:18) . . .No man has seen God at any time. . . I would hope that you think not. So in an apparent contradiction as this, one needs to investigate further. Either one verse is wrong, or more logically we misunderstand what is stated. How...

    Was Jesus a spirit being before coming to earth as a human?

    Yes Post, that verse is about Jesus, and he is in fact called The Mighty God, but the Bible uses the title Almighty God exclusively with Jehovah.

    Was Jesus a spirit being before coming to earth as a human?

    The Bible states the Word was a god at Jn 1:1 sir There are a few saviors actually listed in the Bible, in print I counted 6. You are correct Jehovah is the final Savior, but He is worshipped through a channel both in the Law covenant, as well as the New covenant, the law of the Christ sir, as...

    Genesis chapter 30

    This is a wonderful publication Mantis, explains many verses of the Bible: https://www.jw.org/en/library/books/Research-Guide-for-Jehovahs-Witnesses-2019-Edition/ Hope that helps Despite trials, Jacob saw that God was with him as promised. Laban saw it too, for the few animals he had on...

    Was Jesus a spirit being before coming to earth as a human?

    Hi Scott, you are in line with what I am saying. Perhaps I am not always understandable, I try to be, but of course that is an impossibility with all of us as clearly seen from so many different understandings of Jesus' words. Curtis stated that Jesus was God in the flesh, which is not...

    Was Jesus a spirit being before coming to earth as a human?

    God resided in heaven while Jesus was on earth Curt, and actually spoke from heaven at Jesus' baptism. Jesus was perfect, in other words without sin, he lived and did everything exactly as Jehovah would have if He came personally. That is why he stated that whoever seen him seen the Father also...

    Christian Perfection

    The point I was trying to make Robert is that even the "saints" those called to be holy ones are not yet perfect, but I fully agree with you that upon their resurrection they will be. Those who are not of that little flock however will not attain to perfection until sometime towards the end of...

    Would you like to discuss any differences we might have Amad. The Bible certainly has the answers.

    Is it true that the people have destiny? yes and that is to be a servant

    God is not evil, and desires all to be saved. As you pointed out, He offers life to all, but you must choose life. Choosing life means that you accept the requirements for life. No one is predestined to serve Him, and therefore the word Predestined in Eph 1:11 means that Jehovah foreordained, or...

    Hi Paul, God's will can be found at 2 Peter 3:9 which says: Jehovah is not slow concerning his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance. Death came to all humans because of the...

    Was Jesus a spirit being before coming to earth as a human?

    The Bible never refers to Jesus as the Almighty Post. Since God sent His son, and Jesus His son is recorded in the Bible as the one who came, then God was not physically with us, rather His son was. Jehovah was with us just as the Bible states, He sent the provision for redemption. When Jehovah...
