Jehovah's Witnesses were sent to concentration camps and murdered because they refused to Heil Hitler. But neither did they ever disrspect him. They realized that God would deal with him. And Jehovah did.
There is a scripture that tells us:
"If you see any oppression of the poor and a...
Faith and logic are intertwined. You cannot have faith without using logic. A servant of Jehovah doesn't wonder if they are insane. They don't hope they have the truth. Abraham was declared righteous by his faith, showing by his works that he had faith that Jehovah could raise his child from...
Faith is based on realities that are not seen, things that have been proved and are 100% reliable. An example, you have faith the sun is going to rise in the morning. Why is this? Because it has a proven track record of doing so in the past. The sun is there, was there before you were born, and...
Scripture tells us to use your power of reason to worship God:
"Therefore, I appeal to you by the compassions of God, brothers, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, a sacred service with your power of reason."-Romans 12:1.
It also tells us that faith is not...
True. It is easier to respect someone that behaves respectably. But it is good also to remember, it is not the person who is special, it is the office, or the assignment. It is not the person behaving disrespectfully, but the position they hold that demands the respect. Because really if God...
The quote in the Law was given to the Jews, but its principle still holds true. It gives us the mind of God How he views authority.
The quote in Romans 13 is in reference to the "superior authorities" and is talking about governmental officials. That is obviously the case because it tells you...
I have always felt distaste and have had disdain for comedians who mock a leader. Mainly because of what I was taught when I was a child:
“You must not curse God nor curse a chieftain among your people."-Exodus 22:18.
Later when Paul was brought before the Jewish high court and was slapped by...
Payback. Aren't many people in positions of power petty? Jesus said to return evil for evil to no one. To treat others the way you want to be treated.
I recall watching a video awhile ago about Trump and one of the reasons he wanted to run for President could have been the way Obama mocked and...
I was just rereading my post and noticed I wrote Daniel 8 when the quote is from Daniel 9:25, 26. It is too late for me to edit the OP so I am making the correction here.
I remember when I was a teenager I would work with many aged and wise elders of the congregation and I took the time to pick their minds when with them. One time is recalled to my mind now. I was sharing scripture with a person in our witnessing work and the person was belligerent, even scolding...
Fred Franz made the statement that the call to heavenly life ended in 1935. But since then many 10's of thousands have been called. The Watchtower has several times printed the fact that that understanding was wrong. And that Jehovah has continued to call people to heaven all throughout the last...
Christ is head of the congregation.-Ephesians 5:23. He is thus ruler over the congregation of God on earth, both of the chosen and called, and those who have the earthly hope. He is now ruling as king over the entire Christian congregation on earth and has been over his people since returning to...
So my wife and I just finished watching an 'end of the world' movie that just came out called Greenland.
Link on IMDB:
Greenland (2020) - IMDb
It's about a comet that is going to cause and E. L. E. (I think that was made famous in Deep Impact) a extinction level event. And certain people are...
Yep. And they are a lot more common and prone to happen in older more fragile people. I remember reading a statistic that said one of the leading causes of death in older people are common accidents in the home. Falling in the bathroom, or down the stairs. But that is just common knowledge...
So much for hearsay eh? Don't use it as your guide.
Solomon was known for his wisdom. Kings and queens from far away came seeking his wisdom. The queen of Sheba told him:
“The report that I heard in my own land about your achievements and about your wisdom was true. 7 But I did not put faith...
His age may play a roll in the incident. I'm sure a kid stumbling over their dog all the time will not affect them at all, whereas a man Biden's age, even in good shape..

That they will be put to death is clearly seen in Revelation, when God is asked how much longer will he await to bring vengeance upon this wicked human society, he says it will not be until the rest of the holy ones alive at that time are about to be put to death as the holy ones that...
