    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Why did your version render Acts 28:6 a god then? theos is translated god correctly sir ho theos is properly rendered God. Your version deliberately translated it God, but were inconsistent in rendering it that way in all cases. In actuality the translators of your selected version deliberately...

    Defile Not The Sabbath = Exodus 20;8-11, Jeremiah 17;21-23, 27, Mark 2;23-28, Luke 13;11-17

    The sabbath was a serious law, and under the law violators were executed. Christians are not bound by the sabbath law thankfully as virtually every one if not every one of us has violated it. It is the only one of the 10 commandments that we no longer have under the law of the Christ.

    What Does The Parable of the Tenants mean, in Your Opinion?

    Great parable maam. Jehovah created the earth and put man upon it. You realize of course that Adam and Eve both sinned which brought humans out of a relationship with God. At that point He gave the solution in the first recorded Bible prophecy found at Gen 3:15. A little before 1500 BCE Jehovah...

    Greater Things Than These - John 14

    Jesus did much in the way of the primary reason he came maam, his apostles extended his work even to a greater extent. But even they were limited in the area in which they were able to proclaim the good news. Now nearly 2 millenniums down the road Jesus' disciples have nearly spread the message...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    There you have it sir, you yourself do not think he was flesh and blood. Just because the Bible does not state something point blank, does not mean that it is not a fact. We fully agree.
  6. Robert Gwin

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Then we simply agree, I do not think he was flesh prior to coming to earth either. Perhaps you should understand what is being said, before you yourself make the condescending comments. I seriously doubt that there is very many who think Jesus was a flesh and blood being before coming to earth...

    This generation?

    There are things in the Bible yet to be fulfilled Vicky, the prophecy written is being fulfilled right before our eyes and is quite easy to see. It has been nearly 2k yrs since Jesus taught us to pray for God's Kingdom to come, and we are rapidly nearing the fulfillment of that request. No doubt...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    I am one of Jehovah's witnesses maam, I speak only about Him and His people, I am not here to discuss other faiths, simply His requirements or anything from His word. If you would like to know more about Him and His requirements for life, I will be most glad to converse with you.

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

    Do you have scriptural evidence to support your viewpoint?
  10. Robert Gwin

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Thanks Chris, I fully agree. We believe he came for 3 reasons: 1 He personally stated to teach and preach the good news of the Kingdom of God Luke 4:43 2 To be offered as a sacrifice in our behalf, as you mentioned. Jn 3:16 3 To prove that a perfect man can remain sinless Job 2:4
  11. Robert Gwin

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    I answered him sir, if you would follow the threads. Do you seriously think Jesus was flesh and blood before he was sent to earth? I tell you what, I am going to start a survey on this, I seriously doubt you two have too many that will agree with you.

    This generation?

    We do not believe the great tribulation has began yet maam. The great tribulation culminating with the battle of Armageddon is not an ending point, rather a beginning so to speak. The signs Jesus gave that included the tribulation, was about the end of the age, not the end of humans. We pray for...
  13. Robert Gwin

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Not all things are written sir. In fact in regard to Jesus alone, there could be enough books to fill an infinity of libraries. Jn 21:25. Were you unaware of this sir?

    Jesus told us to seek the Kingdom first

    Yes sir, citizens of the Kingdom do not live on bread alone, but every utterance that comes from Jehovah's mouth. We are very peaceful since we pursue the things of peace. Much of that peace comes from the way we define Joy sir: Jehovah first Others second Yourself last There is so much...

    Jesus told us to seek the Kingdom first

    Citizens of the Kingdom do benefit from that Bob, of course we have the same emotions as everyone else, but overall we have all the fruitages of the spirit in our lives.

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    John 3:16; 1 Pet 2:22
  17. Robert Gwin

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Although not direct, perhaps this will help Dave, Jesus stated very clearly that God (Jehovah) was a spirit, and Col 1:15 states Jesus was in His image, and referred to Him being invisible, why was He invisible? He was a spirit being. Logically since Jesus was in His image prior to being sent...

    One Faith - One Lord

    We are so very happy that He identifies that one faith beyond any doubt Soulman; yet puzzled why so many can not identify it.

    Christian Etiquette and Titus 3:9

    You may not be able to maam. As Christians we are told to season our words with salt, to try our best to make them palatable, so we are trained to be tactful, yet bold when planting seeds of truth. Paul was probably the best example in the Bible in training us to do so: (1 Corinthians 9:19-23)...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Do you have an example of something I teach that cannot be found in scripture sir?
