Thanks for your reply maam.

The advantage satan has over us is that he and his demons are invisible, and therefore are able to observe us when we know of no one being around. It is very true that God uses satan's tools to His advantage. For example, you likely know that the assignment of Christians is to carry the good...

He certainly was Dan'l. Do you know what makes him unique?

The Bible does not mention smoking, or other means of using tobacco. However, it contains principles showing that God does not approve of unhealthy and unclean habits and thus views smoking as a sin. Respect for life. “God . . . gives to all people life and breath.” (Acts 17:24, 25) Since...

I think when I initially heard them I thought of a literal garden. It is so nice when the actual definition is given isn't it Matt. Sometimes that even isn't enough though. Look at how many have no idea what the lake of fire is, even though in both places it is mentioned in the Bible, the...

I definitely appreciate the length you went to to show your timeline Re. The only thing I can say is that very likely both of us realize that a timeline is speculation, and neither of us would be able to prove the correctness of it. What convinces me of our timeline being correct, as I...

Hi Re, I will do my utmost to not call you sir, I made a note and I apologize in advance for the times I mess up in the future as that is my natural way of speaking. When I say we, I am one of Jehovah's witnesses and I am referring to us as a whole, as our beliefs as a faith. I certainly...

What I say is either the truth or lie sir. I stand on what I said, and I state openly it was a deliberate manipulation to the Bible. You have to make the choice as to who God is. I say He is Jehovah. If Jesus is God, he obviously was a great deceiver and liar, therefore the world can be no other...

You are reaching Ron, it is fine to disagree, as we are obviously going to. satan knew Jesus was the Messiah, I truly do not think there was any doubt about it. satan is an infinitely superior being than we are, look at how our knowledge has soared since he has been cast to the earth. His...

I think you might be confusing the time of the fulfillment of those passages Marc because of their location in the Bible. Rev 20:15 occurs after 22:15. Yes, although Rev 22:15 is referring to those who refuse to repent; 1 Cor 6:11 brings out that at this time those kind of people can certainly...

You are very welcome Matt, truly appreciate your kind comment sir.

How so? Even those who inherit life here on earth is referred to as being few in number Mat 7:14

Hi Heart Yes many do use the term heaven on earth, but that is not a Biblical term. The new heaven and new earth is really not literally new, rather a change in the system. Heaven in this instance is the residence of God, and the angels, and some humans who have been redeemed from the earth (Rev...

Is that your answer Marc?

The abyss in this case is simply out of that area, reading the parallel account in Mark helps to understand. Soon however the demons will be locked into another abyss, for 1000 yrs and after that they will be cast into the lake of fire for their demise, after being allowed to roam the earth for...

One thing that has always puzzled me is that to serve God, you must choose to do so, whereas to serve satan you simply have to exist. Do you find this strange as well?

Did you know DGA that the vast majority of God's people will not go to heaven? Only a few from among us will. Do you know why they have been redeemed from the earth sir?

Hi Matt, basically it refers to our imperfection. Of course literally we are flesh and blood, but our tendency to do wrong that preceded your fruits of the spirit, shows what our imperfect flesh gravitates to. No one is exempt as you pointed out a saying by Paul.

Hi Marc, why does the Bible call Jesus God's only begotten son. He has many sons correct?

We believe the 20th year of Artaxerxes reign was in 455 BCE, close to your 457, which likely accounts for the difference of understanding of the yr of Jesus' death. (Open entire response to read fully)
