Thank you for your response. However, dybmh, God appointed Jesus to rule as king until everything goes back to Jehovah. Remember, too, that God Almighty continued with Israel's kings for quite a while, giving them authority as well to an extent. They were, however, imperfect. NOBODY but a perfect man can keep the Law entirely. I won't get too deep into this now, because there is material available to research that explains it better than I can.Isaiah 45:17
But Israel will be saved by Jehovah with an everlasting salvation. You will not be put to shame or disgraced for all eternity.Acts 4:10-12
let it be known to all of YOU and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Naz·a·reneʹ, whom YOU impaled but whom God raised up from the dead, by this one does this man stand here sound in front of YOU. 11 This is ‘the stone that was treated by YOU builders as of no account that has become the head of the corner.12 Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is not another name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved.”
Isaiah gives the name of who will save Israel. Acts gives a completely different name. Proof positive for a false prophet.
The speaker of the words in Acts 4 ( if it actually occured ) is saying "There is no other name ... There is no salvation in anyone else ... except Jesus Christ." That is a complete contradiction with Isaiah and so many other verses in the Hebrew bible. A person might, maybe, be able to get away with saying "This name also saves." But saying "this name and this name only saves", that is false prophet territory. According to Acts, again, if it's true, the speaker had performed wonders, but now is preaching for a different god, is promoting a different god, with a different name, and inciting others to follow this other god. If you review Deuteronomy 13, you'll see, someone behaving like this is a test. It is someone for the Jewish people to forceably remove without mercy.

I'll just say that Jesus said all authority has been given to him. By, of course, the Father. And then, when the earth is transformed into what Isaiah had foretold, the King-messiah will hand everything back to the Father. And Isaiah's prophecy will also be fulfilled.
Thank you, Soapy. I'm sure you remember what the devil said to Jesus in the wilderness. He said "“I will give you all this authority and the glory of them, because it has been delivered to me, and to whomever I wish I give it." Isn't that interesting? Jesus did not tell him, "No, that's not true." He told the devil to get away from him. Matthew 4:8-11. What do you understand from this?Tempted by the devil - Not only written in the book of James but also noted in the synoptic gospels.
I'm sorry, dymbh. Look again. Remember that some were to become kings. But it was not a random choice. In reference to keeping the Law. I stop there, because it's not an easy lesson for some to learn. It wasn't for me. Took a while. And I'm still learning. But -- just like we choose who we believe and listen to, I remember even the prophets were sometimes listened to and sometimes not. One of the first things I learned was that this earth is to become a beautiful, wonderful and happy place eventually for all who gain God's blessing and approval. Just like Isaiah wrote. chapter 65. Revelation 21. Take care, g'night.I appreciate what you're saying. I'm not sure how seriously I should take the book of Acts. Is it really word-for-word accurate of precisely what was said? I don't know. And since Jesus was known to speak in grand terms sometimes, comments like "I have been given all authority..." or "none get to the father except through me", I just don't make a big deal about those. He said "all authority", but really-really all authority? I don't know. And that doesn't subvert God anyway. And when he said "none get to the father except through me" did he really-really mean none? I don't know.
Once a person starts preaching in exaggerations, it's difficult for me to take it seriously. Good ideas are good ideas, of course. But taking it as literal word-for-word truth? if it somehow undermines other prophets or God itself? I just count that as hyperbole.
The term ‘Fear’ is double edged.I only fear God. Per Samuel. Satan? I crush its head as instructed by God. Please bring one verse from the Hebrew bible which says I should fear anything other than God. Or, alternatively please bring a verse from the Hebrew bible that claims I should fear Satan?
Ya know what? Expand that search. I double-dog-dare-you to find me any verse anywhere that says I should fear Satan.
This isn't even my scripture, it's yours. Do you deny its truth?
1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
Mark 12:30
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
This is the first commandment. If I love the Lord my God, in perfect love, where is the fear of Satan? Poof. It's gone.
Hi, have we met before? I vaguely think we have!Hi @Soapy
REGARDING SOAPYS CLAIM THAT GOD WAS TALKING TO SATAN IN CREATING MAN IN "THEIR" LIKENESS.
You claimed that Jehovah was talking to Satan when he said "Let us create man in our image, in our likeness’.
Can you refer to the scriptures you are using to develop this doctrine and explain why you interpret the scriptures in this way?
REGARDING SOAPYS' CLAIM THAT SATAN CREATED THE BODY OF ADAM INSTEAD OF GOD
You also claim that "Satan created the Body of Adam."
Can you refer to the scriptures you are using to develop this doctrine and explain why you interpret the scriptures in this way?
Thanks in advance for explaining why you take this theological position regarding Satan.

There is a heirachy of angels governing over creation just as there are heirachy of governors in every large organisation in humanity.Thank you, Soapy. I'm sure you remember what the devil said to Jesus in the wilderness.

so every one of the OT prophets spoke hyperbole also then. .... (smile).... LOL, LOL, LOL, nonsense. you been caught in a ERROR. 101G suggest you repent and be baptized in the Name of JESUS, the OBLY TRUE and LIVING GOD.Jesus spoke in hyperbole. Strike 2.
(Simile).... good.Heaven and earth is my witness, Amen v'amen.

Erm… I don’t see anywhere where you are quoting me saying ‘Satan created man’.Clear said in post #87 :

Soapy replied in post #109 :
So I am not saying and have never said that ‘Satan created Man’!!!
Actually you did.
Let me quote your exact words and give you the exact reference :
Soapy said : "And think, why was Satan wanting to be worshipped by mankind like his Creator, YAHWEH, was worshipped … because it was to HIM that YAHWEH said:
Satan created the body of Adam… Yahweh God put the Spirit into the body to enliven it. Satan said, ‘I deserve to worshipped by these created souls (speaking of generations to come of self-procreating humans) because I helped create them. But God said ‘No!: The flesh counts for nothing - the spirit is all!’." (underlines are by Clear)
- ‘Let us create man in our image, in our likeness’ (meaning: with intelligence, wisdom, self-Will, and judgemental power)
Here is the link to your post (post #1114) where you claimed Satan created the body of Adam and God was talking to Satan when saying "let us create man in our image". : Watchtower: Jesus is not "a god"!
@Soapy, If you are now admitting that this doctrine you declared regarding Satan is incorrect then that is perfectly fine and I would agree with that admission. We have NO evidence that this text meant that Satan created the body of Adam or that it was Satan that God was talking to when he said "Let us create man in our image".

when the Lord Jesus said that he is the Shiloh to come, (the Messiah) .... that ended your religion of Judaism. because the BRANCH, (who is Christ, Shiloh), will build the Temple of God, (no more sacrifices), and it want be a physical Temple built with human hands, lol Oh my.
so, GAME over for you and JUDAISM....... there is the TRUE RELIGION which has been here before the Lord Jesus Laid the Foundation of the world. what is that religion? .... HOLINESS. and his law that is in our hearts is found in Micah 6:8 and NOT THE Mosaic Law" He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" . men, before Israel was a people, was walking with God, example, Genesis 5:22 "And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:" THERE WAS NO MOSAIC LAW THEN.... (smile).... YIKES!. the MOSAIC LAW was under the OLD COVENANT.... which Israel broke, time after time, after time. again, and again. well now there is the LAWGIVER, and NEW MEDIATOR, Shiloh, the Messiah ... Jesus the Christ. and the Law that is in our hearts is what God ever required of US.... be HOLY, for I am Hoy. not to be Judaism, nor Christian, nor Muslem, Buddhism, ect...... unless either or all teach the REQUIREMENT of God which are found in Micah 6:8. and Micah 6:8 is summed up in one word "LOVE". God said, if you LOVE ME keep my commands. Obedience is better than sacrifice.
so, to walk with God is to OBEY HIM, and that fulfills the REQUIREMENTS of "LOVE".
so, ball game been over for you.... 2,000 years ago.

did he say that at the well? no he was direct, " I that speak unto thee am he". did he speak Hyperbole here? NO. so you try to add what he said in John 6:53 in order to deceive? now we ask you for the LAST time did he speak Hyperbole here in John 4 with the woman at the well yes or NO. we will now know your true self.That's not hyperbole. Hyperbole is, "any of you can move mountains if you beleive" "any of you can do what I did with this fig tree and more" "you must eat my flesh and drink my blood for eternal life." "You will get whatever you ask for in my name" The list goes on and on.
(smile).And you failed to hurt me, even a little. So either you are not speaking truth, or you're wrong. Probably both.
you been caught in a ERROR, better known as a LIE. no angel created any human body, only God. now, if an angel created a human body, post book chapter, and verse to this effect. 101G will be looking for that scripture.Erm… I don’t see anywhere where you are quoting me saying ‘Satan created man’.
I see where you quote me saying ‘Satan created the BODY of the man’…
Creating a BODY is NOTHING to an Angel. A body is just elements of the earth put together in certain order. It takes a spirit in it to make it LIVE.
Only GOD can put a spirit in a body to make it Living.
did he say that at the well? no he was direct, " I that speak unto thee am he". did he speak Hyperbole here? NO. so you try to add what he said in John 6:53 in order to deceive? now we ask you for the LAST time did he speak Hyperbole here in John 4 with the woman at the well yes or NO. we will now know your true self.
