    Who Goes to Heaven.....and What Will They Do There?

    If I gave you scriptures would it make any difference to your view. I doubt it.

    Who Goes to Heaven.....and What Will They Do There?

    1) visiting is not a bad idea. 2) That's where Jesus takes them after the rescue mission 3) For a visit....at least 1000 yrs....how about that! 4) What is the point of going to Bondi beach....it already has enough folk enjoying themselves

    The Three that Bear Witness 1 John 5:7-9

    I have no idea where you get this story for it is certainly not the story I get when I read the scriptures. From the outset of your post 'First of all satan is never called Lucifer in the Bible.' surprises me. To say this indicates you have never come across Isaiah 14:12-21 and it appears from...

    The Three that Bear Witness 1 John 5:7-9

    Consider this....the witness of Jesus and that which the Spirit brings to our awareness is the character of God ie, what God is like. This question is seminal. It was Lucifer who raised this question and put doubt into the minds of intelligent beings whether they were angels or from other...

    The Three that Bear Witness 1 John 5:7-9

    Jesus came for something, was it not for God's purpose.....the question is, what was that purpose? You don't need to tell me...tell the World.....your claim is to be Jehovah's Witness......well what is that witness?

    The Three that Bear Witness 1 John 5:7-9

    By your own admission, you don't understand the question.....now that's a curious thing! What were they witnesses to? ...to what? Is this question really that difficult? Considering that the religious folk in Jesus day didn't understand his objectives/ purposes, could it be that the same...

    The Three that Bear Witness 1 John 5:7-9

    Those 66 books span a record of human history, approx 4000 yrs.....you think there are too many words? Look up the recorded history of let's say America in the last 200 yrs. There are probably that many books written they wouldn't all fit into the back of your local pick up truck.....it'll give...

    The Three that Bear Witness 1 John 5:7-9

    look at it like this Scott.....the lack of clarity you experience is not in the lack of my explanation but rather your inability to hear and process a simple question You might ask yourself why that is the case; there is a reason for it!

    The Three that Bear Witness 1 John 5:7-9

    I suppose those who write lots of words to explain something simple assume they have the attention span of something great. There is a good reason Solomon writes 'a fool is known by his many words' I also think that the brevity of all the recorded words of Jesus in his 3 1/2 year ministry is...

    Prince Andrew

    would she have stripped him if she'd have thought him to be a good witness for the crown?

    The Three that Bear Witness 1 John 5:7-9

    You're not getting it Scott. You heard my words but you didn't hear its objective. Think laterally!

    The Three that Bear Witness 1 John 5:7-9

    The Father sent the Son for what? wasn't it to be a witness? The Son came as a witness to what? The Spirit's purpose is to impress on the understanding of the hearers this witness.....what is it? ie, what are they witnessing to? If you were in a courtroom for the purpose of being a witness, you...

    Dissecting the anatomy of a hand and knowing its constituent parts is a far cry from 'hearing' a tender touch!

    How To Rightly Divide the Word of Truth

    'rightly dividing' has got more to do with its object than the focus on what we do. When this is not understood all that is left is the focus on 'us'......a prison the whole world is captive in and to

    How To Rightly Divide the Word of Truth

    I notice your reply is all about 'us'. Could the problem of not 'rightly dividing' lie right there?

    The Rich man in Hell

    You speak about 'rightly dividing the word' yet you have totally missed the point. Jesus was not giving a theology lesson on covenants; he was telling a story the point of which is summed up at the end of the story......it being, 'if they don't believe Moses and the Prophets they won't believe...

    The Three that Bear Witness 1 John 5:7-9

    Sounds very 'religious' Scott.....and unless we can flesh it out ie, know what these things mean, how can we ever be witnesses? Is it really what Jesus came to witness to? ....to his audience, to his disciples, to the religious, to his enemies? Is that really what the Spirit witnesses...

    Hello from Utah!

    Telling others how they should respond and where they should respond, ventures onto thin ice regarding truth.
