    Resurrection and Duplication

    Do you know the difference between sleeping and being dead? A person who is asleep is not dead. When we say "The sleep of death" we are using sleep as an analogy for death because the person will become alive again just as the sleeper awakes again. When a person is asleep he becomes unaware of...

    The JW's claim Jesus was not son of Adam.

    The question is: How can Jesus be a son of Adam and have a different nature then all the rest? There are basically two ideas. The first is that Jesus had the same nature as Adam and that Adam's nature was different before he sinned. The second is the idea of immaculate conception. Both are...

    Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit?

    Can I have your honest opinion? Does the follow passage suggest "Eternal Generation"? Act 13:32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers, Act 13:33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as...

    Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit?

    I like the one where they say Jesus is co-equal with the Father. Jesus said "My Father is greater than I". Houston we have a problem. I especially like the made up idea they call "Eternal Generation". That's a real hoot. Self contradictory, but a real hoot just the same.

    Resurrection and Duplication

    A copy, how so? On the one hand we have a mortal nature, and on the other we have an immortal nature. The immortal nature is the one to be preferred. Unless of course, you don't want to live. I rather like the idea of having unimaginable and unending joy and happiness in the presence of my Maker.

    The JW's claim Jesus was not son of Adam.

    According to Scripture everyone is tempted by his own desires. So temptation comes from within. However, we also need to realize that people can be tempters. They can excite our own desires in all sorts of ways. Eve's desire for the fruit was excited by a tempter called the serpent. And Eve then...

    The JW's claim Jesus was not son of Adam.

    Jesus can sympathize with our weaknesses because he SHARED in them by being a flesh and blood man as all the rest. Who was tempted in all point as we are. But without sin...meaning he committed no sin. Sin is transgression of the law of God. And sin begins by being tempted and enticed by our...

    The JW's claim Jesus was not son of Adam.

    How can you say you know Jesus if you fail to recognize him as a son of man(adam H120)? How can you say you know Jesus if he was of some other unknown nature while he walked this earth as a man? I know the real Jesus. He can sympathize with me because he shared the same flesh and blood nature I...

    Is the God of the OT All-Powerful?

    Just some friendly advise. Why don't you try having a simple discussion where you can actually reply to actual comments rather than avoid discussion and preach unrelated JW doctrine instead. I would have liked for you to reply to the comments I made which were addressing the actual comments you...

    Resurrection and Duplication

    The resurrected body is not the same nature as the mortal body. it's a divine nature not subject to the lust, sin and therefore death 2Pe 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption...

    The JW's claim Jesus was not son of Adam.

    Deeje was willing to admit that all sons of Adam have a sinful nature but refused to acknowledge Jesus as being a son of Adam because that would mean Jesus had a sinful nature. The RCC dealt with the problem by admitting Jesus was a son of Adam and then inventing the idea of immaculate...

    Resurrection and Duplication

    When Jesus was raised from the dead Paul speaks of him as being High Priest who can sympathize with our weaknesses because he shared in them before he died. So it seems Jesus' memory had been fully restored.

    Resurrection and Duplication

    The Scripture uses sleep as an analogy for the dead who will rise again. When Lazarus was dead, all of his brain activity ceased. Jesus said Lazarus was sleeping and that he was dead. But when he was raised from the dead(awoken from his sleep of death) he was the same person.

    Is the God of the OT All-Powerful?

    Your problem is that you can't or simply refuse to address my post. Instead you become a preacher and a parrot for the JW. For example: You suggested that Adam did not have a nature prone to sin. And that after Adam sinned, man now has a nature prone to sin. In other words, man's very nature...

    Conscious in the grave? If they are conscious they are not dead. Usually conscious people are not buried.
