    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    Taken, the body requires the breath of life, which comes from the spirit God breathed into our body. The spirit gives our body life, and as long as the body continues to live every breathing creature upon the earth is a living soul. The spirit given by God returns to God when our body BREATHES...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    Perhaps we are not far off in some things Robert. I don't believe anyone would disagree that a thousand years equates to TIME. I believe Scripture shows us that TIME is given for this earth age. When this age comes to an end when the last trump sounds, and the physical body of believers is...

    What does DEATH mean?

    When Adam & Eve were created, they had no knowledge of good or evil. Death is the consequence of sin which is evil. Since prior to them eating of the forbidden tree there was no knowledge of evil, neither was there any death. In the very day they disobeyed God, they realized for the first...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    I'm still not sure of the point you're making. There are many, and always have been, many, who say falsely "I believe". What exactly they believe in is in question. Even the devils believe that Christ is the Son of God. Believing Christ with head knowledge is quite different than believing...

    After the Devil is Cast Out

    How do you reconcile your opinions when reading in context the Olivet Discourse? The abomination spoken by Daniel the prophet, Christ connects to the preaching of the Gospel unto all nations. Matthew 24:14-15 (KJV) And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    I agree with your understanding of the physical body. However trying to understand the distinction between soul and spirit becomes confusing because the two are similar but not the same. Every living creature upon the earth is composed of body + spirit which makes every living creature upon...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    Is this your way of not addressing all that I've said Robert?

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    You can't even prove what you assume using the NWT of Scripture. You're still trying to force the verse to say, Thy kingdom come to this earth. That is NOT what Christ is telling His disciples to pray for. That is what you pray for, but Christ has made it more than abundantly clear that His...

    No, sorry but I don't know what specifically you are attempting to show me?

    The False One Who Makes the 7 Year Covenant of Daniel 9

    The context shows us that Daniel's prophecy is of Messiah the Prince that shall come, and shall be cut off, and is the same prince of the people that shall come. Just because the translators did not capitalize prince the second time does not change the definition of the word. Messiah the Prince...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    The only resurrection that assures we have no fear of the second death is the "first resurrection". That is the resurrection mankind must partake of while physically alive, and it is spiritual, not physical. We partake of the "first resurrection" from spiritual death to spiritual life when we...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    As shown most if not all modern versions of Holy Scripture have translated this verse with what appears to be a bias toward millennialism. In doing this they make it appear the first resurrection is physical, not spiritual, and that the martyred souls shall live and reign with Christ on this...

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    Robert, it saddens me to say this but you are being very dishonest in your reply. There isn't a question of who God is. The question you and other Jehovah's Witnesses continue to argue against is your belief that Jesus our Lord and Saviour is NOT God. That is not a question in the minds of...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    Satan and his angels were banished from the dwelling place of God, which Paul calls the third heaven. This war in heaven and banishment of Satan occurred when Christ was born, and all the heavens rejoiced. Isaiah calls God's habitation high and holy, where those of a humble, contrite spirit...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    What verse stated it Robert? Who do you think Jesus said those verses to Robert?

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    Revelation 21:1-5 (KJV) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    I refuse to play this "what if" game over God's Sovereignty and Providence over all of creation. How do you prove what the imagination of your heart and mind has conceived? Isaiah 46:9-11 (KJV) Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    I know that God's Word does not contradict Bob! It is by your interpretation of the Scriptures that force contradiction of your interpretation of the Scripture. As I stated in my last reply #380 your doctrine demands one thousand more years of time for this earth after Christ returns. Even...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    Why do you continue to ignore what the verse literally says Bob? Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven is NOT Thy kingdom come to this earth, and you clearly have to know that! So why does Christ say Thy Kingdom come since He also says, My Kingdom is NOT of this world? The Pharisees...

    Resurrection on earth

    Yes, I am aware that some translations say "there shall no longer be delay". It really doesn't matter whether it is no longer delay or time no longer it still means the Messianic Gospel Age has accomplished its purpose. The Kingdom of God in heaven is complete so there shall be no longer...
