Again your example would fall under foreknowledge, true Jacobs descendants were born into the faith, but they were free to leave. They were not predestined to be his descendants, any more than we who were born in a particular country was predestined to be born there. It simply was the...

The one faith certainly is not perfect Rob (sorry for calling you Bob, although you never corrected me) but babylon is not referring to those among us who are phony, really the opposite, although now that I think about it I actually believe that it would include them. but in the context used it...

It is not really a mystery any longer Bob, it was revealed quite sometime back, the harlot referred to as babylon the great is representative of false religion sir.

Joshua is closer like you mentioned, but I also think God protects His word, since all English versions refer to God's son by the name Jesus, I am sure that it is acceptable to both Jehovah as well as Jesus.

I understand, thank you for clarifying that. I see no scriptural reason to assume that those selected are destined for that position. I believe Jehovah and Jesus agreeably select them for their qualities. There have been times in the past that individuals do seem to be predestined, however keep...

Nevertheless he is a god, a real one. The Bible reveals there are 2 real Gods vying for sovereignty. Jehovah and satan. Interestingly the entire population will side with one or the other of those 2. It is much easier to stand on satans side, you simply have to do nothing, but of course that is...

I know why, the question is, does Jehovah approve of it? Did you know that those translators did not try to remove the names of the false gods in their versions? How disgraceful to try to remove the most important name that has or ever will exist. Any version who has such disregard for God's...

Just blind luck maam, thanks for revealing that to me, and it is nice to meet you Vicky, and no doubt you realize my name is Bob.

I think you will find that the great tribulation will be upon you sooner than you think Re. One thing is for certain, it either has, or hasn't. In this case, one of us is correct. Sometimes when discussing a subject both can be in error, but not this time, one of us will prove to be correct in...

One who worships and represents the God Jehovah sir. If they aren't revealing God's name Jn 17:26 they likely are not from Him, be careful Rad.

I think so maam, but I don't remember discussing it with you. To me predestination would mean you have no say so in a matter. Although it may apply in some instances or circumstances, I would say that is very rare. I believe we have been given free will, especially when it comes to choosing...

Of course this is just an opinion Amigo, any version which alters the most important name to civilization is not what I would consider best, matter of fact not even good Rom 10:13 But I will say, you can find truth in the KJV, it is just quite a bit more difficult.

You correctly showed the manipulation of the KJV in the verse sir. I am glad you are able to observe it for yourself. That is why I use that verse, because it is easy to see the alteration. From the realization of that, you will be able to move forward to see that the translators of many...

I am one of Jehovah's witnesses sir, and the governing body has given it's approval for us to take the vaccine. Me personally I have chosen not to take it. It is kinda looking like the powers that be may successfully mandate it in the future, then Romans 13 comes into play. I am not liking the...

If that is your name maam, I didn't. I simply used your handle and your sex to form a name. If you had of been a man I would have used Vic. If you are referring to the message, it is simply what was stated. Thanks for the smile at any rate, it lifted my spirits.

Again, you openly admit that you reject Jesus' teaching at Mat 4:10. The first identifier of the Biblical faith is the first commandment. You will have no other gods before Him. That settles it sir.

There is a lot involved with that question sir, but like you stated in your opening passage, that is the actual answer. Of course, very few would know what that means. I remember a Bible student I once had always stated do what God wants you to do, but obviously that is a very vague statement as...

Interestingly, no sir. He was born under the law covenant, and was subject to it. His death released us from that covenant, and opened the way for us to accept the new covenant Jesus gave to the faithful 11, and which went into force on Pentecost of the year 33 CE After a short period of...

Simply another illustration/parable to indicate that we have to have an active faith Matt.

Synonym would be commandment, rule, code, constitution, mandate, requirement, statute, even covenant. Hope that helps old one. ;) Welcome to the forum sir
