    Matthew 4:4 Paraphrase

    You are correct Marc, that is definitely paraphrased as that is not what was written sir.

    COVENANTS

    I definitely see it this way as well Re, and I apologize to you for not caring as much as you do to resolve the point. This could take considerable time to research, and I simply am unwilling to put in the time for what I have openly stated is unprovable anyway, and what appears to me as being...

    COVENANTS

    We believe that Jehovah personally wrote the original tablets which Moses destroyed. Moses was commanded by God to restore them, so the replacements were written by Moses. We believe the words of the Bible are Gods. Inspired into the men who served as penmen to the recorded word. As far as I...

    COVENANTS

    Yes Re, I consider the Bible to be God's inspired word, both the old and new testaments. We believe that those are just titles given to the Hebrew and Greek portions of the Bible however, and really don't have any significance, as we believe the Bible is from Genesis to Revelation.

    Hi Re, I think you helped me with posting, we will see how this works out. To answer this part. YHWH is God's name, it occurs thousands of times in the Bible, yet the translators of the KJV, not B, V stands for version of the Bible, the translators ignored God's name and changed it to Adonai...

    Is smoking a sin?

    I get your point Marks, as you can see many think smoking is a sin, as well as many don't. I am one of those who consider it a sin. Yes sir, I fully agree that other things can be dangerous as well, however I do not consider them as sin. Heck, I am going to shock you severely now, perhaps you...

    Biggest mistake of the church and we need to go back

    I was somewhat puzzled by your post Amadeus, as I was talking literally. What you posted is a totally different usage of sight, that is referring to understanding, and hearing with understanding, in other words having the desire for the message and getting and practicing the point of it. I...

    Is smoking a sin?

    Hi DP, one other poster actually mentioned that as well. We definitely know that smoking is detrimental to health, actually though meat is addressed in Scripture as being ok, and we have governmental institutions that inspect many food items, so one is relatively safe in eating. Kind of reminds...

    Christian warfare

    That is what the Bible teaches sir. That is why we do our utmost to live the faith. Interestingly however, with the exception of those who have sinned against the holy spirit, and have died, they will not be judged on what they did prior to death Rom 6:7 The real judgment comes at the end of...

    Is smoking a sin?

    That is not a Bible teaching Ron, the Bible clearly states that 144k will be redeemed from the earth. The Bible also gives the reason why those were chosen to go to heaven. The vast majority of Christians will inherit the earth sir Mat 5:5; Ps 37:9-11, 29. Hope that helps Ronald.

    Demons and John 3:18?

    No sir, the Bible does not contradict itself, Jesus once asked the question to his apostles, Who are men saying I am? Do you know what the answer is sir?

    Is smoking a sin?

    An example I can think of is money Marc. Jesus and the apostles used it, God's people as a whole used it, and the Bible definitely puts it as ok in God's eyes, however it can be a sin as well, as we are cautioned that the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. No doubt we all observe that sir.

    Biggest mistake of the church and we need to go back

    Jesus was raised a spirit Ron 1 Cor 15:44-50; 1 Pet 3:18. He gave his flesh and blood in sacrifice for our sins Luke 22:19,20; he did not take it back. What close friend would forget what you looked like in less than a week? Not one of his closest associates recognized him physically when he was...

    Jehovah's witnesses observe 9 of the 10 commandments today Re, the only one not observed is the Sabbath.

    COVENANTS

    I must apologize to you Re, you have great questions, but sadly they are just not questions that I have been interested in, and they are certainly important, but I think above my echelon a bit. I think you already have the Daniel book, and here is the link for the Revelation book...

    Is smoking a sin?

    You are not necessarily incorrect in your assumption AT, the fact is that gluttony is a sin. Not saying that obese people are all gluttons, I know a few that barely eat, but I definitely agree that all that I do know exercise little. Although I don't hear it often, I used to hear others say of...

    Is smoking a sin?

    Some people do go to heaven Ron, why do you suppose God called them to do so?

    Biggest mistake of the church and we need to go back

    I can clearly see you have little respect for the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, so why did you bring them into the conversation? The Bible is God's word, and that is what we are discussing, correct?
