    Will he use nuclear weapons?

    Not sure. I expect he could, but ultimately think God is restraining all out nuclear war. I just finished reading this... “There seems no major concern within the ranks of Western diplomacy that Putin might initiate the world blowing up in nuclear conflict. All of this started me pondering...

    Prophecy Unfolding

    I agree with you concerning all the war mongering and violence that goes on. Nevertheless, the scriptures do warn that a world leader at some point will arise promising “peace”, but it will be a deception. “But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write...

    Define Religion

    CTo me the first Gospel is that of Matthew. First because first it was written in Hebrew shortly after Jesus died. You'll be aware, of course, that the claim it was first written in Hebrew is not supported by external evidence and the claimed internal evidence is not credited by a majority of...

    Define Religion

    To me the first Gospel is that of Matthew. First because first it was written in Hebrew shortly after Jesus died. Whereas, Mark wrote in the 60's with the non-Jews in mind. Luke wrote in the 50's. Yes, John late 90's. Paul's 'earlier' writings do reference Matthew, so Matthew could have been...

    A ground-zero position when talking about the Bible

    Rather, I find it's one denomination of 'Christendom' (so-called Christians) sniping at another. Yes, ' get along ' is a requirement for both getting into Heaven and for living forever on Earth. Heaven is for those who have that first or earlier resurrection - Revelation 20:6; Revelation 2:10...

    Your Thoughts on God's Will For Believers In Christ Jesus?

    If you were to believe in the "Word of God" (Rev 19:13), you would not be following the false prophets, the wolves in sheep's clothing, such as Paul, who was one of the two horns of the beast (Constantine the founder of the Roman church via his Council of Nicaea and his false dogma of the...

    Your Thoughts on God's Will For Believers In Christ Jesus?

    I was just reading in a devotional today, by Ruth Chou Simons, on God’s will for believers expressed in 1 Thessalonians 4:3 and some of the others you listed. Specifically, God’s will is for believers to be sanctified; set apart and made holy, living a life pleasing and honoring Christ.

    Your Thoughts on God's Will For Believers In Christ Jesus?

    I believe this from the OP are the questions @MatthewA want answers to. From his OP What are your thoughts about these scriptures to seem to profess God's will for Christian believers? Do you believe what these scriptures found in 1 Thessalonians 5 have any merit to the life of a Christian...

    Your Thoughts on God's Will For Believers In Christ Jesus?

    It's not always easy but thanking God and realising that we should be thankful is certainly God's will for us. Psalm 50:23 Those who sacrifice thank offerings honor me, and to the blameless I will show my salvation.” Heb 13:23 Those who sacrifice thank offerings honor me, and to the blameless...

    Your Thoughts on God's Will For Believers In Christ Jesus?

    Correct. The reason they are not easy is that people have personalities, and they have paranoia. Paranoia is very complicated and once triggered is difficult both to see in one's self and to deal with as a group. For example a person can start to feel hunted and see everything around as an...

    Your Thoughts on God's Will For Believers In Christ Jesus?

    What are your thoughts about these scriptures to seem to profess God's will for Christian believers? Do you believe what these scriptures found in 1 Thessalonians 5 have any merit to the life of a Christian believer considering it has to do with God's will for believers? Have you ever been...

    Genesis 2:7

    From what I remember, JW believes we Are souls (our bodies) not a detached soul. The idea is god breathed into your body and that "breathe" is what livens the soul. Also, I'd read the verse in context. As for the second verse, I'd read that in context not on its own. And we urge you, brothers...

    The Future of Religion

    Interesting article and so much truth in that....but I am always reminded of the Bible's predictions with regard to religion in this time period....here is why.... The author of the article said regarding the situation in this 21st century... "Social change undermines religions which don’t...

    JWs & The Bible

    Perhaps I misspoke. What I'm trying to say it that when Jesus was asked about the end times he said (among other things) we should look at what Gabriel told Daniel. Please tell me if u agree w/ this take & tell me if u'd like to work w/ me like colleagues to see what's there.

    JWs & The Bible

    JW’s are Bible students.....not all of us have the capacity for deep study, but we are encouraged to research everything as deeply as we can to add detail to the “big picture”. Like the pixels that make up an image, the more pixels you have, the clearer the picture becomes. JW’s study the Bible...

    Concerning the Islamic Conception of Jesus

    He does say that we will see Him. Every single reference to the Son of Man is a reference ONLY to Himself, never another. Even your prophet refers to Jesus as the Son of Man! Again, the Comforter is the Holy Spirit, not another person. (See the book of The Acts of The Apostles chapters 1 and...

    The Destruction of America

    The prophesy in Daniel was used by the Jews to establish when Messiah was due to appear. This is why Jesus was so widely accepted initially. "Jesus showed in his prophecy pointing to the conclusion of the system of things, Jerusalem would be “trampled on by the nations, until the appointed...
