o_O !!!???
Allow me me help you with that.
We get to develop our character - the person we are, or let others shape our character for us.
So we can choose to "create" our own character. Or we can allow God to create that character within us.
(Ephesians4:24) . . .and should put on the new...
Actually, I do believe all of that, exactly that! :)
Question.—In verse 22 of chapter 15 of 1 Corinthians it is written: “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.” What is the meaning of these words?
Answer.—Know that there are two natures in man: the physical nature...
Maybe there's not much difference between our lower selfish nature and the devil's lower selfish nature. Jesus fixed that so we can now have a divine nature [2 Peter 1:4) in addition to the old nature. You've probable read about the "new man" vs the "old man" in Paul's letters.Christ in you (Col...
So Deeje, is only half right about the resurrection in the 1000 years. There are two forms of resurrection in JW theology, those of the anointed and those of everybody else. The first resurrection is already happening. The anointed are raised immediately from death to perfection. I forgot to...
Seems to me that the apostle Paul has us in a ' Spiritual Olympics ' of sort as per 1 Corinthians 9:18-27.
Each person's struggle to run in such a 'spiritual way' as to completely reach the finish line.- Matthew 24:13
Paul was concerned that he could in the end be a castaway, fall away - 1...
Very good. You are researching.
The post below your first post should help.
a) Man became a living person / being - a life.
b) I pray God your whole spirit (is this the same force of life? See below please) and soul (being, life, person) and body be preserved...

(Matthew 26:41)...
As we put on clean new clothing to refresh oneself, we are instructed at Ephesians4:24 to put on a new personality.
The putting away of lying, etc, as per Ephesians 4:25-32.
Satan's spirit (attitude) is a dominant force for evil in today's world of badness, but in contrast there is another...
Perhaps the way you were saying it?
Yes and no.
Yes, again, that which is born of the Spirit (God - capitalized) is spirit (you). You are a spirit because you were birthed from a spirit. That which is born of flesh is flesh. You are not your mother and father's body but you are from them...
I wasn't saying that there is no soul. What gave you that impression?
Jesus says one must be born again. What does that mean?
One must be born from water and spirit. How do you understand that?
Jesus didn't say, what is born from water is water. Why not?
So how do the scriptures show what he...
Look at it like a worldly person looks at fashion. Fashion trends are created by who knows who and then it spreads and then it goes away and is replaced by another trend and the same thing happens over and over again.
A disciple is someone who "puts on Christ". Ephesians4:24; Colossians...
People know what the JWs do to those who leave. We can see it over and over again right here on the forums.
Imagine! People who call themselves "The Truth", but they can't even see what they themselves do, and they lie about it. Insight on the Scriptures (1988) Vol 2, Page 245

Its a common mistake to think that everything called “perfect” in the scriptures is perfect in an absolute sense. Only God himself is perfect in the absolute sense. Everything else called 'perfect' is only relatively so as Psalm 119:96 says 'I have seen a limit to all perfection, But your...
You always do so good, up to a point. And then you see only the particular scriptures which fit what you desire to be true.
Try harmonizing your views to the entirety of the scriptures:
Deuteronomy 18:13 "Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God."
1 Kings 8:59 And let these my words...

Great verses, thank you. This is telling us that baptism is necessary for salvation too. Not just belief, but baptism.
John 3v3 tells us that we need to be baptised to be accepted into the kingdom when Christ returns. Why? We need to be "in Christ". You old self is put to death in baptism and...
2 Corinthians 5:…16Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer. 17Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have...
Do you understand God's Salvation? Are you absolutely sure of your salvation? Do you know what a clear gospel message is for today? Do you know what are the key essentials for a clear gospel message? Why are there so many ways of salvation present today? Have you ever been confused on which is...
Except Jesus is the Firstborn 'OF' every created thing, Not First born of God!. 'OF', makes Jesus part of Creation.
According to this concept that by coming of Jesus revelation a 'new man' was created, Jesus Himself is considered the Firstborn of all those who were created through the...
The Reference to Creation in six Days is mentioned in Jewish Bible and the Quran, and also accepted in Christian Revelation.
I have found recently evidence for a consistant interpretation by the prophets of the old, their companions and saints, being in Islam, Christianity and Jews that they...
