I guess you don't know what I meant with PAROUSIA. That is the Greek word we can see in most biblical texts talking about Jesus' presence; some versions translate "coming". It is interesting how you negate what the Scriptures say. I guess you used to sermon others who do not know what the...

Thank you for sharing the way you understand this issue. I don't agree, since I don't believe there are two Jesuses in heaven: one that died and the other one who resurrected him. There is one Jesus, and he is the one who said "I became dead, but look! I am living" in Rev. 1:18. Rev. 2:8 “And...

Friend Johann, did you get the point? This translation problem greatly changes the interpretation of the passage. It is very important to correctly understand what Jesus said, so as not to invent ideas that are not in the Bible. It is not the same to say "I have permission to receive my life...

Maybe you should read the whole Scriptures more often to get a better understanding.

There is a translation issue with the Greek text here in John 10:17,18. The Greek verb λαμβάνω that is translated in this expression "I may TAKE it AGAIN" means also RECEIVE. It is not logical to translate it "to take again", since a dead person can't do anything for his dead body. If there...

That's an interesting idea, thanks for sharing what you think. However, according to the texts that speak of the first resurrection, it only occurs during the PAROUSIA of Christ, and not before (1 Cor. 15:23; 1 Thess. 4:15,16; 2 Thess. 2:1). After 25 years as a Christian missionary, Paul wrote...

The Christian brotherhood that God accepts is not how we want it to be, but how God wants it to be (John 4:23,24). Pedophiles would like there to be a brotherhood/sorority that would not claim them for their acts, and also drunkards, and liars... Just as the Devil would like religious lies to...

I do not understand what you say. Can you explain better? ... if possible, use biblical texts as support. Thanks for participating.

Look at the text: Rev. 20:5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the 1,000 years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6 Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the...

In the book of Acts, Paul tells Felix, the Roman Governor, that the ancestors of the Jews had received from God the hope of the resurrection. Acts 26:6 But now for the hope of the promise that was made by God to our forefathers, I stand on trial; 7 this is the same promise our 12 tribes are...

@St. SteVen , you didn't answer the question. Tell me also: What do you think will happen to the dead when the resurrection of the dead that Jesus and his disciples spoke of occurs? John 5:28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear...

Johann, what do you think will happen to the dead when the resurrection of the dead that Jesus and his disciples spoke of occurs? John 5:28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to...

Thanks, but I do prefer the dialog. Internet videos and sermons are essential part of the religious confusion of people in the world. Satan enjoys it.

Paul said: 1 Cor. 15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep .... So Jesus was the first to be awakened from the sleep of the dead so as not to die again. Rom. 6:8 Moreover, if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also...

So what do you think is the resurrection of the dead that the Christians spoke of? Acts 17:32 Now when they heard of a resurrection of the dead, some began to scoff, while others said: “We will hear you again about this.” ... 23:6 Now Paul, knowing that the one part was made up of Sadducees...

It looks that you don't know what this instruction means: Matt. 28:19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And look! I am...

Thanks for reminding me why I am a Jehovah's witness. Do you preach something? If so, what? We preach the Kingdom of God and teach others how to enter it. We use the Bible and follow our instructors like first Christians did after listening the apostles. Who do you listen to? PS: Remember...

I don't see you "preaching of the Gospel of the LORD Jesus Christ" :rolleyes: Again: you are talking about JWs but not about what they teach with the Bible. You are deceiving yourself about what is important. Again: in the first century there was a group directing the preaching work and...

The Bible speaks of a "first resurrection" in Rev. 20:4, and in the context it speaks of others coming to life later. Rev. 20:4 And I saw thrones, and those who sat on them were given authority to judge. Yes, I saw the souls of those executed for the witness they gave about Jesus and for...

"The gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ" is not judging JWs. JWs teach with the Scriptures and you are just talking against them because you can't talk with them about the teachings of Jesus. When religious persons speak against other religious persons, they show that they do not have the spirit...
