Very good. Thank you.
Daniel 7
13 “I was watching in the night visions,
And behold, One like the Son of Man,
Coming with the clouds of heaven!
He came to the Ancient of Days,
And they brought Him near before Him.
14 Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom,
That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion,
Which shall not pass away,
And His kingdom the one
Which shall not be destroyed.
Mark 14
60 Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” 61 But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.
Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”
62 “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.
63 The high priest tore his clothes.“Why do we need any more witnesses?” he asked.64 “You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?”
They all condemned him as worthy of death. 65 Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And the guards took him and beat him.
Jesus was condemned for BLASPHEMY. The high priest, Caiaphas, along with the important priests, the teachers of the law, and the Jewish elders all understood Jesus was claiming to be God. This is why they accused Him of BLASPHEMY!
Even the Muslim man in the video got it. He said it hit him like a bolt of lightning. Mark 14:62 is a very powerful verse!

These videos are excellent! I worship with a lady who was raised in the Muslim faith. She told me she had a great curiosity about Jesus, so she managed to get her hands on a Bible, unbeknownst to her parents, and she began to teach herself about Jesus. Her story is one of the most uplifting conversion stories I have ever heard. On her own, she concluded that Jesus was God. From His words alone, she believed, repented and was baptized. It is an amazing story! I am so thankful that she is a part of my little christian family here in Florida.
What a blessing it is to know someone like her.

“Furthermore, not only do we find that people cannot see the divine plan in studying the Bible by itself, but we see, also, that if anyone lays the Scripture Studies aside, even after he has used them, after he has become familiar with them, after he has read them for ten years—if he then lays them aside and ignores them and goes to the Bible alone, though he has understood his Bible for ten years, our experience shows that within two years he goes into darkness. (The "Inspired" Word of God will lead us into darkness?)
*** w57 7/1 p. 415 Questions From Readers ***
On the other hand, if he had merely read the Scripture Studies with their references, and not read a page of the Bible, as such, he would be in the light at the end of the two years, because he would have the light of the Scriptures.” ( But the "uninspired" WT literature alone leads us in the light?)
I guess that's why the Watchtower magazine is published in 190 languages and their Bible in only 120. Makes sense to me!

Act 17:10-11 (ESVST) 10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived they went into the Jewish synagogue. 11 Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.
These "NOBLE" Jews didn't need the Studies in the Scriptures to understand the Bible. Paul never said, you can't understand the Bible by itself.

Keep denying Jesus words.

The primary meaning of the name Immanuel is, 'God with us', signifying that one who bears that name of praise has God with him and because God is with him and he with us, thus, 'God with us.'
It has been so simple all along that we and the angels have gotten quite the laugh at so many who miss seeing it.
My source is one you would not believe if i were to tell you. So you will have to just look and notice how simple and clear the true explanation really is. For I am not in the business of giving those I am trying to help, what most of them would only use to seek to vilify me.
You need to discuss more with me about what I meant when I told you that you leave away from the theme of the prophecies in your interpretations. You treat those prophecies as though they were a completely knew revelation, unattached to earlier prophecies and by that you give those prophecies a life all their own with nothing to weigh their implications against but your opinion.
PS/ I apologize if I am missing replying to many of yours and Pegg's or other's posts. I have been very busy of late and have only been able to jump in and out briefly every now and again.
Healing sick without lip service. Raising the dead, ALL Inclusiveness, no separation because of religious beliefs.
Read with understanding instead of beliefs.
Yes Jesus never taught the road was narrow that leads to life or that He is the ONLY way to God. What was I thinking? Lol
Umm... Ok. And belief in Him and what He said about the only way to heaven is through Him. That was central part of His teaching. If you don't believe what He said, then you really don't believe in Him. Were all sinners in need of a savior was another thing central to jesus teaching. You seem to pick verses out of context and apply them without any knowledge of what there for or mean in the entirety of scripture. Another thing Jesus told us not to do. Sorry bro

Jam 1:26-27 (ESVST) . 27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
You can contradict every Word of Jesus. Fine with me, it's The Holy Bible.....
Keep denying Jesus. Remember, he'll deny you......The Holy Bible
The same to you as well my friend
