You have a point. I think Satan's soul purpose is to keep people away from Christ. If He cannot, then he tries distort their beliefs. If people who live by the Law will be judged by the Law, then at least he accomplished that -he corrupted their path to God, deprived them of salvation - maybe? I...

"Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ Matthew 7:22, 23 Jesus was speakingndirectly...

Absolutely, I trust and acknowledge that to be true.

The Bible starts "In the beginning God created ..." John 1 refers to that moment as well, creation, the beginning of the physical universe in which time itself was created. So when I said God was there from the beggining or Jesus was there from the beggining, it does'nt negate that God is...

GOD became flesh. A baby was begotten, not Jesus spirit that is eternal, the Word, who was God from the beginning. Still can't grasp that concept? JW's don't believe they have a spirit, so I can see how that doesn't compute. God is Spirit. So why is the incarnation of God's Spirit into a fetus...

We can do all things in Christ ... if you are in Christ. If you think Christ is actually Michael incognito, well your faith may be as flawed as your understanding of who Jesus really is.

We obey God's Word, His will, His Law because we love Him. It is written in our hearts. Christ's righteousness was imputed to us, like a built in moral code that guides us, a moral compass. But moreso, He lives in us to direct our ways. He encourages us to obey His will and we agree with it and...

Don't twist what I said. I am a literalist with most of scripture, some is symbolic. Well I was referencing another scripture that is also debates over: "There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children...

No, at the time of creation, Satan did not exist. Lucifer did. He was the most glorious of all the angels. He was referred to as a morning star as well, but when God created man and had a special love for Him, gave him more attention and had great plans for mankind - the pride of Lucifer caused...

First of all, this verse has been wrestled with by the best scholars and so has different interpretations. So it is an alternative the view of some that "sons of God" are angels praising God when He made the stars. The universe is so magnificently made, ordered as a performance of a choir...

'The 'sons of God' were the descendants of the Godly line of Seth and the “daughters of men” were the descendants of the ungodly line of Cain" (J. MacArthur). We are adopted sons of God, yet unbelievers are the sons of Satan. Many names are given to Jesus. “Wonderful Counselor,” “Mighty...

This is a very good point, glad you brought it up. The Tree did not possess any knowledge of good and evil, it was just a tree that God told Adam and Eve not to eat of. His rule/law was broken. That was the disobedient act, sin that released God's knowledge of Good and Evil into the world. This...

I get discernment from God, who dwells in me, not Satan. For sure, if you are a Jehovah Witness, you went to the depths of Satan and he distorted and confused the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE. 1. He distorted who Jesus is, put Him on the level of an archangel. Hebrews 1 says different and so many...

Rather - you don't know what you are talking about. GOD introduces Himself as the Supreme Being, beyond any comprehension of Moses and then fills in exactly Who "I am" is in the Book of John, filled with the "I am ..." descriptions. If you cannot connect the dots at this point, you are in denial.

That was the Pre-incarnate Jesus, who spoke to Moses. He is the Great "I AM. He is Jehovah or if you prefer, Yahweh. Those are made up names constructed by adding vowels. The Jews did not even want to pronounce the name in fear that they would mispronounce it; so they called Him, LORD (Adonai)...

True faith will accompany works, for God prepares them for us. Everything that is good comes from God.

As for Matthew 24:29-31, again there are various views, none absolutelyn certain. I can give you mine and others would disagree. That's okay, it's a push. Prophecy is mysterious and we know in part - it's not all clear. During the Great Tribulation, the Bible describes much destruction...

You see, This is the point: You are not discerning scripture. It suggests that you have not been baptized by the Holy Spirit, since you do not believe He is God. I have been to your water baptisms, you plunge the person in water without saying anything. We are to be baptized in the name of the...

So who are the righteous in your mind? The Jehovah Witnesses? Do you discount 2.6 Billion Christians who put their faith in Christ? Salvation is a gift, not earned. By Grace Through FAITH in Christ we are Saved, it is a gift of God, not by works so no one can boast. The Gospel is this: that...

Quotes from Martin Luther "Now the article of justification, which is our sole defense, not only against all the force and craft of man, but also against the gates of Hades, is this: that by faith only in Christ, and without works, we are pronounced righteous and saved." LUTHER "For the...
