    The significance of the Temple to Jews and Christians

    Agreed we need holy spirit to understand Bible truths. Very well said. Jehovah's Witnesses are baptized in the name of Jehovah God, Jesus Christ, and the holy spirit. Not all JWs are baptized with holy spirit. I have been baptized by holy spirit. God is a God of peace not of disorder. He...

    The significance of the Temple to Jews and Christians

    It's what the Bible teaches. I merely reasoned to you from the scriptures. These existed long before you or I were born. If you want to know what the Bible teaches the best place to go is a Jehovah's Witness. Yes, the 1,000 year reign of Christ will bring untold blessings to humanity. When...

    The significance of the Temple to Jews and Christians

    Finally to get to your last question about if there will be another temple on earth. What was the purpose of the temple? Was it not the arrangement for pure worship? Showing God's high and elevated moral standards for the people? It was also where sacrifices were offered and accepted to atone...

    The significance of the Temple to Jews and Christians

    Greetings. Did you know before the temple there was the tabernacle (or tent)? The instructions for its design were given to Moses and Jehovah imbued certain artisans with holy spirit to give them the wisdom to craft it the way he so desired. (Read the entire chapter of Exodus 25) Exodus 36:1...

    Dying in my dreams!

    If a dead body were thrown into a lake of fire it would be consumed turned into ash and no longer be. That is all the lake of fire represents in Bible prophecy. Did you know that even death and hell are thrown into the lake of fire? Have you ever asked yourself how hell is thrown into the lake...

    Something about WWII

    Reading this reminds me of my high school history teacher, Mr. Ellis. He was a Jew and also was very sensitive about the Holocaust. Went into great detail about it, had a holocaust survivor come in. When I shared with him that Jehovah's Witnesses were persecuted by Hitler and the Nazi regimen he...

    Spiritual v. Religious?

    Being religious is having a form of devotion and reverence toward God and or another deity. Being spiritual is having a deep desire and a willingness to please God. They may seem similar but are not necessarily so. A person can be religious for example and be a hypocrite, thus is not spiritual...

    The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

    Gordon Lightfoot's songs were influenced a lot by old time shanties. This is my favorite of his:

    Atheists: If God existed would God……

    I know I'm not an atheist but have thoughts on this. God is an evangelist of himself. So he does let people know he exists. The very fact his words were recorded and preserved in the Bible is a testament to this fact. Jesus prayed to God to glorify his name and Jehovah responded from heaven...

    Insults online still do damage!

    Because I have taken the time to study the Bible. And have come to the conclusion that it is the word of God. As I have shown you there are no contradictions. I have addressed your insults over and over and in other posts. I see no real sincerity in you. So I will leave you be at that. I will...

    Insults online still do damage!

    1. When it says to call no man your Father Jesus was referring to spiritual leader, such as is the title of Pope. Pope is latin for papa (informal of father). Now Paul was referring to those whom he brought into the truth as his spiritual chidlren, or he was their spiritual father, and that is...

    Insults online still do damage!

    So right after you said you didn't call me names you started to call me names. God's word exposes all falsehood. And God is not a bigot. Scripture says this about how God views all humankind: "God is not partial, but in every nation the man who fears him and does what is right is acceptable...

    Insults online still do damage!

    Actually I have addressed what you brought up in other posts. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus was a parable. The vision was just that a vision. And everything I told you about Samuel and Saul is Biblical. Look I don't want to argue with you. And I respect your beliefs. I don't want you...

    The Bible does say that you make God's word invalid by your tradition: "Thus you make the word of God invalid by your tradition that you have handed down."-Mark 7:13. It also says let God be found true while every man a liar: "Certainly not! But let God be found true, even if every man be...

    The transfiguration was a vision. The spirit that appeared to Saul by means of the spirit medium was a wicked spirit. Not the dead Samuel. We know this to be the case for several reasons. Firstly and foremost the Bible teaches that when a person dies he ceases to exist and is sleeping awaiting...

    I'm sure she forgave you. She may not have wanted to deal with you. Jesus when he was on earth he didn't sit around trying to convince people of the truth. He gave it to them. If they accepted it great. If they didn't he moved on. That doesn't mean God gives up on someone. The fact that he has...

    Put God on trial!

    Jehovah did not create Satan, any more than he created sin. It is as he said: "They are the ones who have acted corruptly. They are not his children, the defect is their own. They are a crooked and twisted generation!  Is this the way that you should treat Jehovah, O foolish and unwise people...

    Put God on trial!

    Just wanted to add these two music videos that came to mind that show how Jehovah is answering honest-hearted prayers everywhere on earth right now showing that he is real, he is very active and he is drawing all of the "desirable things" into his house...
