    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    Isaiah finished his inspired book of prophecies after 732 BC. It took more than 100 years for the greatest misfortune that happened to the Israelites to occur: the conquest of Judah, the destruction of Jerusalem and its temple. The land was devastated, and only a few poor people were left...

    Scholars can be dangerous to our faith

    Good point, Amadeus. Now imagine those who tells you that called themself "Christians". What would you tell them?

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    You are just another of the teachers of Christendom, no more, no less. Copying passages from the Bible is no indication that what you interpret from them is correct. All of Christendom's "teachers" do that... It is thorough analysis of the Bible, with proper logical, unbiased, and honest...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    "Salvation" could be out of many things, all harmful for us. A "savior" could even be a person who saves you from a heart attack, from respiratory arrest, from drowning, from a fire, from an abuser, etc. If a person has experienced any of these events, or others, he already knows what the word...

    What have you heard about the thousand year reign of Christ?

    Let's talk about it here. Rev. 20 is the passage that explains more about the millennium. Some biblical scholars and theologians, among the plethora of them with different and contradictory ideas existing in modern Christendom, have come to think that those thousand years are not even a real...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    Some "Christians" who do not study the Bible much believe that the promise of new heavens and a new earth found in 2 Pet. 3:13 and in Rev. 21:1, implies a destruction of the planet and the creation of a new one. But because they are the same ones who teach that you should not study the...

    Scholars can be dangerous to our faith

    If some "Christian" tells you that if scientists do not find evidence of a planetary flood, you do not have to take the Biblical story literally, what would you say?

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    The way you said it really seems very absurd. BUT it is not that simple you want to make it look, and obviously you need to consider other edges of the total figure, like: What if: God is not always looking in direction of what people would do in the future? Why did Jesus send his disciples...

    "Kings and Priests"

    To understand many of the NT statements, Bible students need to be able to distinguish between the "kings and priests" and those Jesus mentions in Matt. 5:5 as inheritors of the earth John 14:1 Do not let your hearts be troubled. Exercise faith in God; exercise faith also in me. 2 In the house...

    Eternal salvation and 'the church'

    In this psychological desire of "pertaining to a church" that is really led by Jesus, individuals of all kinds of beliefs and styles of life try to deceive their own mind by telling themselves that they themselves are part of that church ... even some who don't even have true faith and hardly...

    Resurrection on earth

    Jesus Christ not only made a pact with his brothers so that they would reign with him in heaven (Luke 22:28-30), but he also spoke of the righteous who would inherit the earth. Matt. 5:5 Happy are the mild-tempered, since they will inherit the earth. To say that, he had to be convinced that...

    JESUS Said Things Would Be Like They Were In Noah’s Days Before He Returns To Get Us = Matthew 24;37-42

    Yes, Jehovah judged the world in Noah's time because humanity was ruined due to violent behavior, especially due to the influence of abusive demihumans. Jehovah made a drastic decision, but he found a righteous man whom he wanted to save. His having found one righteous man at least shows that...

    How do we understand the name "I AM that I AM?" in Exodus 3:14

    I can see you don't like the name of God. That is probably why you are by yourself. Acts 15:14 Symeon has related thoroughly how God for the first time turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name. 15 And with this the words of the Prophets agree, just as it is...

    Resurrection on earth

    Peter, like Paul, knew that Jehovah's servants before Christ would be resurrected on earth after Christ's brothers were glorified by being resurrected to go to heaven: 1 Pet. 1:10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the undeserved kindness meant for you made a diligent...

    How do we understand the name "I AM that I AM?" in Exodus 3:14

    And again, that is only a little part of what God said to Moses. Read the whole thing. :Bestest:

    Resurrection on earth

    Paul knew that before he could be transformed to go to live in heaven (as he thought that event could happen while he was alive), the dead in Christ who were "asleep" in death would first have to be resurrected. 1 Thess. 4:16 because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding...

    Hell, Sheol, Hades...

    Beutiful way of telling us AGAIN that being dead is the opposite of being alive Luc.9:24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake is the one who will save it. (See also Matt.10:39; 16:25 and Mark 8:35). Actually, loosing (and saving) the life...

    What JESUS Taught Us At The Last Supper = John 13;3-5

    Yeah, Jesus was appointed heir: Psal. 2: 7 Let me proclaim the decree of Jehovah; He said to me: “You are my son; Today I have become your father. 8 Ask of me, and I will give nations as your inheritance And the ends of the earth as your possession." ... and his brothers as joint heirs with...

    Resurrection on earth

    Paul said: 1 Cor. 15:12 Now if it is being preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how is it that some among you say there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 If, indeed, there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised up. 14 But if Christ has not been raised...

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    About these diferences, again ... but with diferent wording: 1) how many times 2) in how many places 3) worse effects 4) diferent parts of the sign at the same time. For example: although wars have always happened, they have never involved so many countries at the same time, never with as many...
