Why 80? And I also remember hearing that 153 was the same number of miracles Jesus performed. ??? But the elect? The Church is the elect numbering in the billions. Also heard if the arhumwnt that Jesus must have died on a Wed or Thurs. I think it was 3 days inclusive, and probably 40 hours...

How does 153 fish caught have anything to do with 12240 days?

So are So are you a Catholic or what?

Thanks for sharing the goodness in your life. We need to know if it is just talking the talking or actually walking the walk. I guess you find time - I wasn't judging, just curious. My wifebis a realnservant whi lives everyone more than herself. In fact, I het angey with her for motntaking caren...

None of us are worthy. Just because the Israelites were in the bloodline did'nt make them worthy either. They failed over and over again. God sent nations to conquer them and enslave them. Probably 1/3 of the Jews believed in Jesus. They saw His miracles. Some of the Pharisees and Sanhedrin did...

Naomi, I am sorry your country is experiencing this fascist and socialist transformation. I would like to encourage you, that this is only temporary. The rest of the world will go through the same and it will get worse - until the end, when Jesus returns and puts an end to it. Satan and his...

You apparently are one of those people. You went off on a tangent when I suggested for you to sell everything you have, empty your bank and give it to the poor! A test of goodness that Christ gave ... "putting your money where your mouth is as the expression goes. Since it's so easy for you to...

We practice being good and avoiding evil. But we fail at times. It is not so easy as you claim to be good. We have been cleansed, we do wear Christ's righteousness, but our flesh gets in the way. You really think it is easy to LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF? OR DI YOU RHINK IT IS EASY TO LOVE...

The Jews were blinded for our sake. God will open their eyes soon too. (Rom. 11 confirms this). As far as the rules, Jesus said believe in Him and you will be saved. Actually, those who call out His name will be saved. That in itself is a demonstration of some faith. Another passage says, "you...

Well it sounds like you have a say in the rules. QUOTE="Enoch111, post: 1122288, member: 7853"]So anyone who denies that Jesus is God does not enter Heaven. I believe that Jesus is God however, "the gospel" is to believe that Jesus died for our sins and rose on the third day. It is the good...

Oops, missed that question. I believe Jesus has many names. I think YHWH is more of a causative description of Who He is more than a name. In Ex. 3:14,,God spoke to Moses and said tell the I AM sent you. It was an introduction to all the I am's in the book of John. It was replaced with LORD 5400...

I was using figurative language to describe the apathy, lack of mercy and judgmental condition of his heart. Of course God alone is the ultimate Judge. But it sounds like you are holding up one of those signs too?

I don't view the letters as prophecy. They were more like a boss telling his secretary to type up a few letters to send them out. It is possible this entire book was sent to each church so that they can view the problems going on in other churches, showing Philadelphia as the faithful church...

So I guess when Judgment Day comes, the JW's will thank God that you won't being sitting in the jury section, holding up a sign, "let them burn"!

I hold a special place in my heart for JW's, family members whom I love. Writing has been a passion of mine. Wrote a book once - it did'nt do well. That's okay, I loved doing it since I was unemployed at the time. All in all, I think God is more merciful than we pretend to be. Judge not lest you...

You qualify to speak for your own beliefs. The Father is Spirit and Holy. So then when Jesus said, the Father will send you "another Helper", to you, that means He sent Himself? Living inside him. He is actually the one speaking through Paul. Remember, Christ said, "He will not speak on His...

I am not sure Augustine interpreted that passage correctly. It was a Christophany. I think the pre-incarnate Jesus (Jehovah/Yaweh) appeared with two angels, not the Trinity. You and I believed and we were infants in the faith, knowing very little about the depths of God. My daughter at ten...

HELLO, I am certain you are a Christian, a person with faith in Christ. What I am curious about is your understanding of who the Holy Spirit is, since you claim not to be a Trinitarian? Do you think He is the Father's Spirit? Jesus said, the Father will send you "another Helper", a Comforter...

All the OT chosen nation who lived by faith were non-trinitarian. Christ's sacrifice was imputed to all of them. I real don't think many grasped the concept of a Triune God in the first century and apparently many still don't. Jesus did not regard this concept ( of beingbequal with God) as...

The message of Christ's second coming was given to all generations. A sense that His arrival could be soon and imminent gives them also a sense of being ready, washed and ready to meet your Maker. The prophecy given to Daniel in chapter 12 was none of his business, God told him to seal it up -...
