    Discussion thoughts

    The mark of an intelligent person is the ability to question ideas. People who don't like being questioned don't like being corrected.

    Question: Why does man (all human beings) die? Answer: All human beings(man) die because of Adam's sin. This is explained in Romans 5:12-21. Question: What is the cause of sin by which all man dies? Answer: The cause of sin is the desires of the flesh. See James 1:13-15 and Romans 7:7-21...

    Already explained. Certain Jews were asking Jesus about marriage and the resurrection. They were wondering if the resurrected ones would still be married to those who had died previously. Jesus explained that the resurrected ones are like the angels of God, they neither marry nor DO THEY DIE...

    Many Christians understand that man's nature is sinful. However, many can't make the connection that sin dwells in the very flesh of man. The flesh itself has its OWN desires which do NOT care about any laws. For example: Rom 7:7 What then shall we say? Is the law sin? May it never be! But I...

    Rom 5:12 Because of this, just as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death spread to all people because all sinned. Rom 5:13 For until the law, sin was in the world, but sin is not charged to one's account when there is no law. Rom 5:14 But death...

    Michael and his angels fight behind the scenes. What would actually be seen would be the defeat of the devil and his angels...which are mortal men. God's angels don't die...they are immortal. Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they...

    First of all, it was a serpent in the garden, not an imaginary superhuman personal being. We've been through this already. The serpent was more intelligent than any other beast of the field. he was punished to spend the remainder of his days on his belly licking dust of the earth. We need to...

    Learn what the word image means. Having a discussion with someone who doesn't know what words mean is futile. Try having a discussion with someone who doesn't know that death means dead and alive means living. Forget about it!

    The serpent was an adversary because it/he encouraged Eve's own desire for the fruit. He told Eve that when they ate of the tree they would be as gods(angels) to know good and evil. That was all Eve needed to hear. So she took it and ate. Now, anyone who serves his OWN flesh is the seed of the...

    I never said Adam didn't have a choice. I'm saying what Paul said: The law was made weak by the flesh. Rom 8:3. God gave Adam the command not to eat of the tree. Therefore, God's command was made weak by Adam's flesh. In other words, the desire of the flesh was stronger than God's command. Man...

    Death is the last enemy defeated. When death is defeated there will be no more mortals alive. A mortal dies. That's when Jesus work of redemption is complete and he hands over the kingdom back to the Father. The only ones left will be those who have spiritual bodies that never die. They are...

    It's easy to spot false doctrines. One of the most obviuos ways is when people ADD their own ideas to the text. For example, I was showing a trinitarian all the verses where is says that Jesus died and that he (himself) was raised from the dead. The trinitarian thought that it was only Jesus'...

    Paul is saying that the faithful dead and the faithful living (at Christ's return) will be given a spiritual body like the one Jesus now has. It is no longer subject to death. They will be as the angels of God in heaven.

    The debate about who were the sons of God in Genesis 6 who married and die has been going on for a long time. Jesus settles the debate by telling us that angels of God neither marry or die.

    From the JW files: https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/w20140815/jesus-sadducees-marriage-after-resurrection/ "'Neither can they die anymore.” Jesus did not say: “They will not die anymore.” Rather, he said: “Neither can they die anymore.” Other translations render that phrase “they are...

    How are the JW's going to correct or rebuke Jesus when he says that God's angels in heaven don't die?

    Pe 2:4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but held them captive in Tartarus with chains of darkness and handed them over to be kept for judgment, (LEB) Jud 1:6 And the angels who did not keep to their own domain but deserted their proper dwelling place, he has kept in eternal...

    What do you think, Jewish people are stupid and don't know anything about their own Scriptures? REALLY! There's a MAJOR reason why I would NEVER join your group. Any group that thinks they are the only ones who know anything are a group who knows nothing. I hooked up with this one group awhile...

    If the scriptures could not be reasonably understood then I'd throw the book in the trash because it would be worthless for me. That means that I'm not going to compromise what is reasonably understood by me so that I can have fellowship with others. If I thought that the JW's doctrines were...

    Christians only: What is your hope for the future?

    I think the Christian should have the same hope as Paul..... the resurrection of the dead. (Acts 23:6) In that way they can be entirely freed from the law of sin and death....and the body of this death that resulted from Adam's sin. They will be absent from that sinful flesh body and inhabit a...
