Because of the word which says it is inspired you believe it.Well to me you complicate things. to me it is fairly simple.
1. We have the word that is inspired of god
How is the difficulty and most of the time impossibility of making others believe in Jesus "good for us"? Also, please keep in mind what is written which is, Jehovah can save by many or by few.2. We have commands in the written word as to what is best for us
Good for you! I do not dare say what God is trying to do because it is kind of ridiculous that you think you know that. Believe it or not, I do not want to look ridiculous even for my perception of God and it is why God says I am not righteous. But.....you might be.3. you don't have to obey them, but you will experience the consequences of your actions. God is trying to spare you the misery
I do not doubt it.4. God is the creator of all things and knows all things of all things. So the inspired word that he commands us is for our personal benefit, because he knows what is best. Isaiah 48:17,18
I think the people Jesus will not heal are the people who mislead others away from being healed.5. About why Jesus would not heal some people is simple. The Jews knew that Jesus was the messiah by the miracles they performed and the way he handled the Tanakh. Jesus went as far as telling them " i will answer your question if you will answer mine, the baptism of John the baptist was it from heaven or from men?" then they go on to say "we do not know" after they had reasoned in their minds the outcome. They rejected the messiah it was their own personal choice to reject him. You cant heal someone who does not want it. Accepting Jesus as the messiah would mean they would have to be submissive to god's son.
Well not exactly, because I looked at the bible without bias. I read the information and determine whether or not it is inspired. The question becomes "what is the criteria for making such an assessment?"That makes no sense coming from you. You believe they are inspired. You believe they all are. To be true to yourself you mean, "I examine the words to determine that they are inspired". You begin your search looking for inspiration. I have looked at them looking for the truth.
1. its up to each person to decide for themselves if it is inspired or not. People have to research, but more than anything pray to the creator for guidance. At the same time if a person determines the bible is or is not inspired, they need to show people the criteria for making such a choice. The thing is to provide evidence against it or for it, and try looking at it from both sides giving both a fair hearing.Because of the word which says it is inspired you believe it.

I do not doubt it.

Are you using the word bias correctly? It seems to me your bias is that it IS inspired. You check it and Voila! there it is, right according to YOUR prediction.Well not exactly, because I looked at the bible without bias. I read the information and determine whether or not it is inspired. The question becomes "what is the criteria for making such an assessment?"
Well we are still on square one, because we need some measure so to speak to measure what is inspired and what is not. otherwise it is our own ideas that tell us it is or is not inspired@Paul Chavez I wonder if you understand that I believe some of what we call the Bible is inspired of God.
Where we differ is that you believe every word is inspired and true.
It is for their own good to know about god and Jesus. Again we are ambassadors for Christ, we are checking to see who wants a relationship and who doesnt. in a nut shell we are trying to help people make good choices@Paul Chavez You say Matthew 28:19 is inspired of God and that every command of God is good for us.
Can you tell me how it is good for me to believe that I must make other people believe in Jesus?
I understand that to persuade someone to believe in Jesus might be good for him.....but not always.
2 Peter 2:21
I think you mean that if it isn't all inspired it is up to each person to decide which isn't and which is. No! It is up to The Holy Spirit to let it be known.Well we are still on square one, because we need some measure so to speak to measure what is inspired and what is not. otherwise it is our own ideas that tell us it is or is not inspired
I understand that and I agree. YOU say it is good for ME. How is it good for me?It is for their own good to know about god and Jesus. Again we are ambassadors for Christ, we are checking to see who wants a relationship and who doesnt. in a nut shell we are trying to help people make good choices
-In a previous post i made it clear that praying to god about these matters is essential.I think you mean that if it isn't all inspired it is up to each person to decide which isn't and which is. No! It is up to The Holy Spirit to let it be known.
Do you believe it was written under the inspiration of The Holy Spirit? I believe some was and some wasn't. Why do you believe that it can't be read under the inspiration of The Holy Spirit?
If people heard the Word of God to write it, why can't I hear the Word of God to understand it ?
It is good for people to build their faith in god. The bible displays gods thoughts and past experiences with mankind which we can examine. eternal salvation. What else can I really say? Also if you apply god's word today, you will experience the benefits.I understand that and I agree. YOU say it is good for ME. How is it good for me?
Hello, I have been looking at these passages for quite some time, i am curious to see what other serious bible students interpret and when these passages take place.
Matthew 24:45
Revelation 11:2-3
Revelation 12:6,14
Revelation 13:5-6
If Satan was already cast out of heaven, why will he all of a sudden get worse during the great tribulation?First of all, the setting for Revelation is for our day or time frame - Revelation 1:10
The major fulfilment of Matthew 24 and Matthew 25 is also connected to our day or time frame.
We are nearing the soon coming ' time of separation ' on Earth - Matthew 25:31-33,37.
Satan was already cast out of heaven - Revelation 12:9; Revelation 12:12
We are at the ' final phase ' of Matthew 24:14 because the good news of God's kingdom government has now been proclaimed on an international scale as never before in history.
We are also nearing the ' final signal ' of 1 Thessalonians 5:2-3 when ' they ' (powers that be) will be saying 'Peace and Security' as a precursor to the coming great tribulation of Revelation 7:14 before Jesus, as Prince of Peace, ushers in global Peace on Earth among men of goodwill.
- Revelation 22:2
Well we are still on square one, because we need some measure so to speak to measure what is inspired and what is not. otherwise it is our own ideas that tell us it is or is not inspired
Context: Jesus was saying he is the bread from heaven and they said this speech is shocking, they did not believe.Observation.
John 6:43-46
Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, "Murmur not one with another; no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not draw him. I will raise him up in the last day; it is having been written in the prophets, 'And they shall be all taught of God;' every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me; not that any one hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father."
All are being taught by God. For this reason, certain members pray in futility, "Lead us not into temptation," of evil. Ignorance leads to the temptation of evil, but God leads the Son of Man in wisdom.
If Satan was already cast out of heaven, why will he all of a sudden get worse during the great tribulation?
what do you mean the good news is already on an international scale? There are 4,500 Major languages, the bible is available in 2,800 languages by bible translating foundations.
by the way you really need to check out how much the bible was available from 100 AD to present, its not like others make it sound.
If you are a Jehovah's witness that is well versed in 1914 I have a few questions about it, maybe you can clear up some things for me.
Yes there is not enough information on what I want to ask.Things will get worse during the great tribulation of Revelation 7:14. ( darkest before the dawn )
Satan knows he has a short or limited amount of time left - Revelation 12:12 B
Things go from bad to worse because of demonic influence - 2 Timothy 3:13
So, Not necessarily meaning Satan gets worse but world conditions get worse - 1 Thessalonians 5:2-3
When ' they' ( powers that be ) will b saying "peace and Security " that is just a precursor to the coming great tribulation. We are nearing the soon coming ' time of separation ' on Earth of Matthew 25:31-33,37
Also, there are many remote Bible-translation offices. Modern technology has now made rapid Bible translation possible so people can have access to Scripture in their own mother tongue or native language.
