We all should try to be meek, shouldn’t we? But that wasn’t really my point… These meek ones (at Matthew 5:5) will “inherit the earth.” And that “the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.” “The righteous...

Sure it is! What do you think the Resurrection of the unrighteous, and their following judgment (Acts 24:15; John 5:28,29), is about? The judgment they receive is concerning their actions after their resurrection. Death was the payment for their previous sins! — Romans 6:7,23. No. There are...

Well, this is probably a wasted effort, but here goes: We don’t claim any such thing! He is our Master. Jehovah God made him our Head. ‘92 WT excerpt: **Paul … said: “You belong to Christ; Christ, in turn, belongs to God.” (1 Corinthians 3:23) Indeed, even as Christians belong to their...

If Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), how can we be sure we're not following someone who appears “biblical” but is ac Does the religion join in the world’s wars? Then they don’t have Christlike love ….. and in fact, are disobedient to Christ. — John 13:34,35...

Yes, another great passage! Whose Word is it? Jesus said “Your Word.” Well, exactly Who was Jesus praying to? Yes, his Father. It’s His Father’s Word. In fact, Jesus said “just as the Father taught me, I speak these things.” It’s Jesus’ Word, now? What does Jesus’ statement at Luke 10:21 mean...

Yes, by “what authority” did Jesus do the works he did? It was from his God, his Father. Peter knew that. — Acts 2:22 Thanks for posting that Scripture. Please note that Jesus said this after he was resurrected. Who ‘gave‘ Jesus all authority? When someone is “given” something, that means they...

@Aunty Jane asked, “how is one to discern who is actually telling the truth”? And @PS95 replied, Jesus said, “By their fruits you will recognize them.” — Matthew 7:16-20. Bad fruitage is everywhere in Christendom. And “many” of its leaders, Jesus called “workers of evil.” —Matthew 7:21-23 So...

What a nice thread, AJ! It's not polemic at all! {At least among this audience who believes there is a Creator.} Love it!

What happens when a human dies? Exactly what God told Adam at Genesis 3:19…. “YOU will return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are, and to dust you will return.” Was Jehovah God talking to Adam’s body? No! God was talking to Adam, the person! And at Genesis 2:7 God’s...

“The dead know nothing at all.” Ecclesiastes 9:5 There is no ECT. The Bible doesn’t contradict itself. However, it does use symbolic & metaphorical language. Revelation 20:13,14 tells us “death & hell were cast into the Lake of Fire.” How can you burn death? Fire, in this instance, is...

I’m sorry, maybe i wasn’t clear…. Destroying Satan does work. But the issues raised in Eden, needed to be addressed. Once they are completely resolved, Satan will be removed permanently. As in, destroyed. God is perfectly justified in killing His enemies. By doing so, He’s usually protecting...

An intelligent person has to want God’s education… Jehovah never forces anyone against their Free Will. There were issues dealing with rulership that were raised, and are still in the process of getting resolved.. Creating new humans would have not settled those issues, of which all the angels...

To whomever ‘buys a canon’: Remember, you need ‘canonballs’! Lol! I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist!

Thank you for that information! You’re very kind.

I agree. It does explain why the Flood had to be global. In Jesus’ day, demons could possess “swine.” (Matt.8:28-32) So by destroying “all flesh that has the breath of life”, (Gen.6:17), God was denying them any means of staying on the Earth. They were forced to de-materialize, and revert back...

No doubt. This made me think of Pharaoh in the Ten Commandments movie… Yul Brenner pouring out the “sacred water” into the Nile. It didn’t work.

This post is so filled with error, it’s amazing. For one thing, “divine” simply means “of God”, or “from God.” It doesn’t mean that something divine, is God. But since the following is apparently true: … I can’t respond. So have your day, my cousin. Maybe one day in the distant future, we’ll...

“The tent of God is with mankind…And death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Mankind is humans on this earth. Even the animals will be at peace, with each other & with us! - Isaiah 11:6-9 Such scenario, ie., God’s...

Regarding the Exodus… look up the Ipuwer Document Did you know there’s a pharaoh named “Jacob-Baal”? (Jacob is nothing but Hebrew). (I could really go on and on.) Re: the wandering… At the ancient temple of Karnak (?), which is now in northern Sudan, there’s an inscription that mentions “the...

Keep in mind, “the earth abideth forever” Ecclesiastes 1:4
