    Question about paul and stephen.And the afterlife.For the Jehovah's Witnesses

    You know the Bible teaches at Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10 about the condition of the dead. It clearly teaches that the dead are unconscious and lifeless in the grave. About 17 years ago I used to practice magic. I was strongly convinced I could talk to dead ones. I heard voices and saw spirits. That...

    Question about paul and stephen.And the afterlife.For the Jehovah's Witnesses

    It’s nice to meet you too! Saul desperately wanted to believe that it was Samuel and so let himself be deceived. Verse 3 says that Samuel was dead and buried. The scriptures quoted under the preceding subheading make clear that there was no part of Samuel that was alive in another realm and able...

    Question about paul and stephen.And the afterlife.For the Jehovah's Witnesses

    At 2 Corinthians 5:8, Paul says: “We are of good courage and are well pleased rather to become absent from the body and to make our home with the Lord.” Some believe that these words refer to an intermediate state of waiting. Such ones refer also to Jesus’ promise to his faithful followers that...

    When did God tell the Israelites that He was three persons?

    T I have always been interested in the Trinity doctrine. I’d heard about it many times before I read some information in the JWlibrary. It’s interesting what The New Encyclopaedia Britanica says: “Neither the word Trinity,nor the explicit doctrine as such,appears in the New Testament ,nor...

    When did God tell the Israelites that He was three persons?

    Why, for thousands of years, did none of God’s prophets teach his people about the Trinity? At the latest, would Jesus not use his ability as the Great Teacher to make the Trinity clear to his followers? Would God inspire hundreds of pages of Scripture and yet not use any of this instruction to...

    One Religion

    The answer is pretty simple. take into account the amount of religions in the world. Has the world become a better place for us? No,it hasn’t. Because people create religions that aren’t in harmony with God’s will. It’s really important to be sure that your religion truly has God’s approval.and...

    Did David believe we go to heaven when we die?I think the bible implies he did.

    just as John the Baptist and David had a portion of God’s spirit but were not called to be part of the heavenly kingdom, the same is true with many Christians today. They have dedicated their lives to God and been baptized in water. However, they recognize that they have not been given the hope...

    Where does Christianity begin and end?

    I would start from scratch….what Christianity really is. Speaking for true Christians, the apostle Paul stated: “There is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and we through him.” (1...

    Bad Conditions Now Compared to Periods in the Past

    Hi,I must confess I’ve asked this question many times. “Are we experiencing the worst menace ever?” while previous eras experienced turmoil, “the last days” would be extraordinarily savage. As 2 Timothy 3:13puts it, “wicked men and impostors will advance from bad to worse.” People have always...

    "YHWH will judge his people."

    Jeremiah was no chronic complainer. Rather, he showed himself to be loving, considerate, and sympathetic. He exercised fine control and marvelous endurance and was moved to great sadness by the conduct of his people and the judgments they suffered.—Jer 8:21. JEREMIAH was in tears. He was...

    Christians only; How literally do you take the Bible?

    I value the Bible because it is the most helpful book in theworld. The advice from the Bible has always helped people. Those who carefully follow it will be happy and do well in life. (Psalm 1:1-3.) True Christians have always accepted the Bible, “not as the word of men, but, just as it...

    Do we really have free will?

    As you may know,God dignifies us with free will, the power to make decisions of our own rather than having God or fate predetermine what we do. 1)God created humans in his image. Unlike animals, which act mainly on instinct, we resemble our Creator in our capacity to display such qualities as...

    Religion And Your Social Life

    Thanks a lot for your question. It’s really important to have loyal friends and to be on good terms with other people. Close friends add to our happiness during good times, and they strengthen us during hard times. But unfortunately,not everyone is a good friend. I always think how the friends I...

    Women should keep silent in the assembly?

    In fact, Paul often referred to the wholesome teaching of women.In his letter to the Corinthians, Paul advised not only women but also individuals who had the gift of tongues and prophecy to “keep silent” when another believer was speaking.* (1 Corinthians 14:26-30, 33) “What is to be done...

    Why does it look like young people focus only on looks?

    My take is that ,It happens mainly because of treacherous heart low self-esteem and social media influence. Each day we make judgments about people. We tend to be influenced by what appears to our eyes.Nonetheless, when Jesus was on earth, he commanded: “Stop judging by the outward appearance...

    Thanks a lot for your concern))) I sincerely appreciate it! I always study the Bible carefully. I never take the Bible for granted.

    Do these things exist?

    the Bible also says that “the heart is more treacherous than anything else and is desperate. How we take in knowledge and submit to discipline determines to a large degree what affections or desires, whether good or bad, develop in our hearts, and with what intensity they spring from the heart...

    "What Jesus REALLY meant was ...."

    It depends on a source people use to come to know Jesus. I open the Bible and read all the information about Jesus.Because I am % sure it is the word of God)) Questions about Jesus’ real identity became common among people of his day, so Jesus asked his apostles who people were saying he...
