Compare: Luke 12:32 “Have no fear, little flock, for your Father has approved of giving you the Kingdom. ... 22:“However, you are the ones who have stuck with me in my trials; 29 and I make a covenant with you, just as my Father has made a covenant with me, for a kingdom, 30 so that you may eat...

Has anyone ever heard a Kingdom Hall speak? Psss... things we read from the haters. hmmx1:

Thanks. My belief is what you read out of the Bible ... I quoted the passages and logical reasoning. The Scriptures contain the truth (John 17:17; 2 Tim. 3:16,17), and that is why I believe what I quoted. Otherwise I would not. Biblical teachings are not optional ... They are just THE TRUTH. ;)...

Yes, Jehovah is humble: Psal. 113:6-8 “He stoops down to look on heaven and earth, raising the lowly from the dust. He lifts up the poor . . . to make him sit with nobles.” He accepts our worship but he also views us as his friends, and he took the iniciative giving his Son in the first place...

Through the holy spirit, the prophets knew that Paul would suffer in Jerusalem (Acts 21:10-14), but the fear of the disciples and asking Paul not to go there was a personal matter, because knowing what would happen they thought that Paul should avoid it. Something similar happened with Peter...

When the Bible says that God does not "respect" people, what it is saying is that he does not make distinctions between faces, because he sees things more important than that...for example, the heart, thoughts, intentions, etc. These things do not depend on the physique of the people or the...

Definitely, our best defense of the existence of Moses and his authorship (human part) of the Pentateuch and other biblical writings such as some Psalms, is the fact that Jesus took his existence for granted, as @Arthur81 very well explains in the post#2. However, deniers of biblical...

Since the beginning of the 19th Century there has been a tendency in intellectual circles around the world to deny the inspiration of the Bible and what is known about human history based on the information it contains. For example, the real existence of Moses and his involving in the writing...

The word προσκυνέω does not even mean WORSHIP as someone "worships" a god. Jesus used that word here: Rev. 3:9 Look! I will make those from the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews yet are not, but are lying—look! I will make them come and bow before your feet and make them know that I have...

You can't make up meanings for words from other languages to make them fit you. Jesus was the means through which his Father created all things. Because he was the Only Begotten and Firstborn Son, he was there with his Father, cooperating with the creation of which his Father was the direct...

I'll give you some input about what διᾰ́ means in Greek. That preposition is the one some versionists translate as "by" when the Scriptures say that the Universe was created through Jesus: διᾰ́ IE *dis-; cf. Lat. dis-, AS te-, Alb. tsh- I A adv. or prevb. through, from one side to the other B...

:rolleyes: No inspired writer of the Holy Writings said ever that everything was created "by Jesus".

That is false. James 2:19 You believe that there is one God, do you? You are doing quite well. And yet the demons believe and shudder.

Ask yourself: Were Jesus' apostles anointed with holy spirit as they accompanied Jesus everywhere? If your answer is NO, then how can you think that anyone who say so today is really annointed with the Holy Spirit of God? Some people today think they are superior than the apostles of Jesus.

Not so "equally". You can see here the difference: The One seated on the throne "is worthy to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they came into existence and were created.” (Rev. 4:11) The Lamb, who is Jesus, "is worthy to...

No more lies. :Bestest: Byeeee.

BROTHER means "sharing a common ancestor (father)" ... but cousins is more specific. No serious dictionary include "cousin" as an optional meaning of ἀδελφός. The interpretation of ἀδελφός in such passages as Mt 12:46; Mk 3:31; and Jn 2:12 as meaning ‘cousins’ (on the basis of a corresponding...

You would love a version of the Bible saying: "Now his mother and cousins came to him" in Matt. 12:46,47; 13:55; Mark 3:31,32; Luke 8:19,20; John 2:12; etc ... But you know what? That version DOES NOT EXIST, because that would be a plain lie to everyone's sight, and Catholics don't want to be...

Obviously, if we take into account that a brother (ἀδελφός) can be due to belonging to the same family tribe even if the common ancestor is distant in the past, as in the case of an Israelite with another Israelite, or an Moabite or Ammonite with an Israelite due to the relationship between Lot...

No serious Biblical Greek Dictionary is called only "Greek Dictionary" ... Is that a joke? coffee:
