    Are All Present Day Governments Doomed?

    The Revelation has nothing to do with our day. Like Daniel, it is a book of apocalyptic hope that was written in the context of their times - and failed. As stated by others, there is nothing permanent. In the future, many of our governments might still exist in name only.

    Replace a word in a Thread Title with the word Naked

    What, if anything, irritates you about the naked habits of others?

    Built to spec: Darron Aronofsky's Ark.

    Of course the Global Flood is a myth. To believe in it requires a complete disbelief in science. Not just mathematics, but geology, biology, anthropology, and modern physics which is the cornerstone of our technological world. If the Global Flood really occurred I will never travel by plane...

    Built to spec: Darron Aronofsky's Ark.

    We seem to forget that God only needed a sample of the body plans of all living things on the ark. He then used a very fast form of evolution to give us all the species we see today, in only 4,000 years. Evolution with a vengeance explains why creation is true. Ironic?

    Why do Jehovah's Witnesses bother trying to convert people?

    They must also report to their congregations how much time they spend on a monthly basis preaching to others. In most cases they can only count the time they 'minister' to those not baptized as JWs. If a certain amount of time is not met on a regular basis, it is a flag to those leading that...

    Jehovah

    Don't be so sure. Romans 11:25, 26: 'I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is...

    Am I the messiah?

    Gods 10 commandments

    But you must also explain Paul's words at Romans chpt 2 and chpt 7 quoted earlier. There seems little doubt he was including the Ten Commandments as belonging to 'the law' which we have been discharged from, or died to, releasing us from the 'written code' that included the words 'Thou shalt not...

    Gods 10 commandments

    When speaking of 'the law' the Jews had been instructed in, Paul included parts of the 'Ten Commandments' 17 But if you call yourself a Jew and rely upon the law and boast of your relation to God 18 and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed in the law, 19 and...

    The Second Commandment

    Did not the ark of the covenant represent God...and were not certain rituals performed in 'front' of it?

    Jehovah

    In the book "Is there a Creator Who Cares About You?" by the JW's on page 9 it states "...that one who possesses 'intellectual honesty' is characterized by a readiness to scrutinize what one believes to be true' and 'to pay sufficient attention to other evidence available.'" This is obviously...

    What is the great tribulation?

    No. It shows that the writers of Matthew, Mark, Luke, Daniel, Joel, Acts, and the Revelation expected the evils they were experiencing to climax very soon in a culmination of history; with good prevailing over the wicked. They believed the End by God would happen in their lifetime, just as many...

    What is the great tribulation?

    The parallel account in Luke 21 shows the proper context at verse 20. The 'great tribulation' refers to the time when Rome destroyed Jerusalem in 70 CE. To read any more into it is to add to what Jesus said. It was the answer to the question his disciples asked 'When will this temple of great...
