1 Timothy 6:7-8.....
"To be sure, there is great gain in godly devotion+along with contentment. 7 For we have brought nothing into the world, and neither can we carry anything out. 8 So, having food and clothing, we will be content with these things."
You do understand the point of introducing a Bible principal to underscore a statement, don't you?
Here is a link to the article about how to survive a disaster....victims of a natural disaster would not be expecting luxuries, but necessities like food water and shelter would be useful.

Revelation 21:4-5 is the Bible's description of the new world to come under the rulership of Jesus and his "bride". It will be a time when all the things that presently plague mankind will be eliminated.....no more suffering, pain or death.
It is the principle upon which the statement is based. You misunderstood......or perhaps you just don't get it? It wasn't a quotation, it was a citation.
Again, you seem to miss the point. 1 John 5:19 says....
"We know that we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one." This is the reason why Jesus said that his disciples were to be
"No part of the world." It is ruled from behind the scenes by God's adversary.
Exactly. The Kingdom in which Jesus will rule is not from this world, nor is it part of this world. It is from heaven, from God.
That would be because the divine name (YHWH) was there in the original text. The real substitution was made by taking God's name out of the Bible and substituting the title "LORD" instead. That would be tantamount to reading a novel by a well known writer and substituting "Author" for his personal name. What human author would tolerate such a thing?
Look up Strongs reference for the word "LORD" in that verse. The divine name has been removed almost 7,000 times in the Hebrew scriptures. The NWT put it back where it belongs.
Genesis 1:1 (NASB)
Are you really that bad at reading and comprehension? Paul is saying that physical training IS beneficial, but not the sort that would keep us from our primary activity. Paul often made reference to the games that were popular at the time. Much training was needed to compete at what was Olympic level in those days. So he said.....
"By giving this counsel to the brothers, you will be a fine minister of Christ Jesus, one nourished with the words of the faith and of the fine teaching that you have followed closely. 7 But reject irreverent false stories, like those told by old women. On the other hand, train yourself with godly devotion as your aim. 8 For physical training is beneficial for a little, but godly devotion is beneficial for all things, as it holds promise of the life now and the life that is to come. 9 That statement is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance. 10 This is why we are working hard and exerting ourselves, because we have rested our hope on a living God, who is a Savior of all sorts of men, especially of faithful ones."
He was promoting a much more important work.
You seem to have little knowledge of scripture and poor comprehension of what little you know.
This is again citing a principle to back up a statement.
Here is the article that it was quoted from....it was talking about thrill seeking.

I think you've embarrassed yourself enough.
For goodness sake, if you are going to rubbish someone, at least get your facts straight. Regardless of how you feel about Jehovah's Witnesses, they are fulfilling the command given by Jesus to preach the kingdom message in all the world. (Matthew 24:14; Matthew 28:19-20) Whether people listen or not, they can never say that we didn't try to warn them about what is coming. (Matthew 10:11-15)
Look at the state of the world people.....it means something.
