I personally views Jehovah relationship with humans as any loving parents relationship with their children with a special interest in our spiritual needs above all else.
Acts 2:1-11 :
"Now while the day of the [festival of] Pentecost was in progress they were all together at the same place, and suddenly there occurred from heaven a noise just like that of a rushing stiff breeze, and it filled the whole house in which they were sitting. And tongues as if of...
Revelations 19:11-13:
"And I saw the heaven opened, and, look! a white horse. And the one seated upon it is called Faithful and True, and he judges and carries on war in righteousness. His eyes are a fiery flame, and upon his head are many diadems. He has a name written that no one knows but...
It's really quite simple and you pretty much answered your own question. *You* feel that humans are a "impotent human race in our microscopic section of the universe" while *he* does not which he has demonstrated in all the provisions he's made for us.
One Scripture that really empathizes our...
Wrong. He out of his own intuition chose to be bad. He was no different from the other angels created just like he was who CHOSE to remain loyal. It was because of his OWN selfish motives that he rebelled.
There is nothing that suggests that when he said "let light come to be", he then created the sun. If you look at the account and the way it's worded (and also other Scripures in Genesis), it's suggeted that the sun (actually both luminaries) were already created before he began forming the...
Agreed. Since Jehovah and Jesus were both spirits when he said that, it's clear he didn't mean a litteral phsyical image. I think he was speaking more from the perspective of qualitative attributes, or traits he shares.
"We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one" (1 John 5:19)
"among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might...
So true, and that's EXACTLY the same thing Adam did. When he had sinned, he took no personal responsibility and instead blamed God for it. "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree and so I ate. (Gen 3:12)
But at the same time instead of just killing people for doing wrong he lovingly warns them to turn around from their badness which in turns leads them to peace? Yeah that doesn't really make a lot of sense for someone that's 'evil' to me. If he's so evil, he wouldn't have given his son "in order...
I'm not good with the quoting thing but this is to Skwim.
1. Prove to me how they're the same
2. Unless you can prove otherwise I stand by my point
3. The example of the Egyptians was a warning to Pharaoh to release his chosen people or suffer the consequences. How exactly is that evil on...
