Jesus came for something, was it not for God's purpose.....the question is, what was that purpose? You don't need to tell me...tell the World.....your claim is to be Jehovah's Witness......well what is that witness?

By your own admission, you don't understand the question.....now that's a curious thing! What were they witnesses to? ...to what? Is this question really that difficult? Considering that the religious folk in Jesus day didn't understand his objectives/ purposes, could it be that the same...

Those 66 books span a record of human history, approx 4000 yrs.....you think there are too many words? Look up the recorded history of let's say America in the last 200 yrs. There are probably that many books written they wouldn't all fit into the back of your local pick up truck.....it'll give...

look at it like this Scott.....the lack of clarity you experience is not in the lack of my explanation but rather your inability to hear and process a simple question You might ask yourself why that is the case; there is a reason for it!

I suppose those who write lots of words to explain something simple assume they have the attention span of something great. There is a good reason Solomon writes 'a fool is known by his many words' I also think that the brevity of all the recorded words of Jesus in his 3 1/2 year ministry is...

would she have stripped him if she'd have thought him to be a good witness for the crown?

Dissecting the anatomy of a hand and knowing its constituent parts is a far cry from 'hearing' a tender touch!

you've missed the point!

'rightly dividing' has got more to do with its object than the focus on what we do. When this is not understood all that is left is the focus on 'us'......a prison the whole world is captive in and to

I notice your reply is all about 'us'. Could the problem of not 'rightly dividing' lie right there?

You speak about 'rightly dividing the word' yet you have totally missed the point. Jesus was not giving a theology lesson on covenants; he was telling a story the point of which is summed up at the end of the story......it being, 'if they don't believe Moses and the Prophets they won't believe...

Sounds very 'religious' Scott.....and unless we can flesh it out ie, know what these things mean, how can we ever be witnesses? Is it really what Jesus came to witness to? ....to his audience, to his disciples, to the religious, to his enemies? Is that really what the Spirit witnesses...

Telling others how they should respond and where they should respond, ventures onto thin ice regarding truth.

what does that mean?

We use expressions and lengthy articles are written about the various ones but do we know what they mean? To Glorify God.....what does it mean?

Ohhh man, you guys really like the words! ....lots of them. The point is, does God the Father, does the Spirit, does the Word bear witness? and if yes, to what?

I'm reminded of Jesus walking amongst the seven golden lamp stands as in Revelation 1:12-13, 20 We are told they represent the Churches (v20) which all get sent a message.....both encouragement and chastisement. These golden lamp stands are depicted as Jesus standing in their centre, they...
