@Johann @ProDeo @Wrangler @APAK Last night we looked at Jesus being "redeemed," (saved from death!) and how he fully participated in the process of salvation. He experienced death and the consequences of sin (died to sin once!), (who knew no sin) but was resurrected and exalted by God (Yahweh)...

Trinitarianism asserts that Jesus was both fully God and fully man, commonly referred to as the "God-man." However, this teaching inherently requires Jesus to be both "God" and "not-God" simultaneously, unless one equates "man" with "God." Attempting to address this issue by appealing to the...

I've been a member of this forum for nearly 15 years. Recently, I revisited old posts to check on where some of the members, who used to be active daily, are today. I'm going to list some of the members I remember being active participants. While I may not have always agreed with them, they...

The purpose of this thread is to ask questions, seek answers, and engage in discussions about God, His plan, and everything in between. My first question to start the conversation is this: Did Jesus himself confirm that the OT Jews fully understood God's identity and had salvific knowledge of...

“When Jesus was reviled, Jesus did not revile in return; when Jesus suffered, Jesus did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to God who judges justly” 1 Peter 2:3 What is the focus of Peters words here, which cause's us to consider the true battle which went down in Gethsemane and...

Hi all... Especially those who took part in the recent locked thread GJohn 1.1 ἦν I was impressed how civil we all were given the subjects sensitivity and forum rules. Maybe the ban has created in us an awareness of how easy it is to denigrate each other, rather than working through the...

The writer encouraged us "not to abandon our own meetings, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and even more so because you see the day drawing near Heb 10:25. Do you see your respective fellowships as being optional, or absolutely necessary for your (and others)...

@Johann Let's discuss the principles of what is commonly understood but misrepresented as the Scape-Goat. The term "scapegoat" is incorrect, and should be amended to read: "goal of departure". This goat is not put to death but reserved for life, after the other goat has been put to death as a...

This thread aims to consider those things relating to Christ, The Throne of David and His Coronation, as not only the King of the Jews, the King of Israel but eventually the King of the whole world. Jesus said to those who heard him, “I am not come to destroy the law or the prophets, but to...

@Carl Emerson I was surprised you were quick to move onto Acts7 when Acts 6 still offered a lot of learning / discussion. Consider the teaching of Stephen He brings a number of examples to his defense in rebuttal of the claim that the Jews as a nation, and the land as a locality, were the...

I'll be watching the Acts 6 "Friendly" Bible Study and participate via this thread. I encourage those who wish to share, to do so anytime - all welcome. If I see any value add to the posts in the closed study, I'll ensure to include you in the response. F2F

"And Yahweh Elohim said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil" JW's believe A&E are without hope of salvation and are condemned to everlasting death. Can you see the problem with the above? The Elohim see A&E as now one of them - how can they be condemned? Adam and...

"Adam called his wife's name Eve" Genesis 3:20 Now Eve signifies "Life" or "Living." On what basis could Adam give this name to Eve? @TheHC @Keiw @Aunty Jane @Mark51 What happened in Genesis 3 which gave Adam the confidence to name Eve - Life or Living? Is there an element of hope...

Adam was questioned Eve was questioned Why NO question for the serpent? “Where are you?” 3:10 The man replied, “I heard you moving about in the orchard, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.” 3:11 And the Lord God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat from the tree...

A high level view of Daniel's Prophecy reveals two great powers which represent the principal subjects of its predictions. The one is styled “The Kingdom of Men” (from Dan 4:17); and the other, “The Kingdom of God” (from Dan 2:44; 4:3; 7:27). :IDK:There is no mention of an Angelic Arch Enemy...

Hey @Keiw (& @Aunty Jane ) In the past we have briefly discussed the JW teaching on A&E, and I wondered how it was that your denomination believes they cannot be saved. Is this a traditional view, or do you have evidence to support this belief. F2F

I dont usually do this, however as I am discussing the subject of satan, devil etc here Satan Demons Angels and Spiritual Warfare I wanted to provide a more focused look at the History of Satan, firstly from the Bible and also look at extra-Biblical text to show its deception. History of...
