I like the clothes they wear in Heaven, especially the shoes, fantastic.
There is also a Water fall 2kms South of the gates of Heaven, great temperature, Crystal clear clean water, beautiful.
Have you been to Heaven and back such that you saw these things, or did you get this information from someone who is in Heaven?

Or he wasn't being serious at all.

I believe what the Bible says about re-incarnation which isn't much. I believe you are right Jesus is the first born of creation. All other creations were not by birth.

Again this is contradictory in my view, if there were people born and dying and reincarnating before jesus he was not first born.

What do you think the Bible says about reincarnation?
I believe it says the spirit that was in Elijah was also in John the Baptist. Also when the Apostles suggest a man was born blind because of a previous sin, Jesus did not refute the concept.

I believe there was a reason Elijah (a) was seen with Moses (a) and Jesus (a). Elijah (a) never died, and indeed, Jesus (a) was saying, just as John (a) was killed and people are denying Jesus (a) now, there is always a person holding this position, but Elijah (a) will not be manifest, but hidden, for reasons, that if he was in the open, he would be treated like John (a) and Jesus (a), and Jesus (a) wants people to know he will return one day but he is a light in the world so long as in he in this world.

The prophecy regarding Mohammad (s) is clear by Jesus (a) if you keep in mind the holy spirit is a position held by all chosen ones, including John (a) and that there is always a leader on earth.

I think disciples understood the comforter in the future to be Mohammad (s) and the immanent one that will be sent by Jesus (a) when he ascends to sky to be Elijah (a).

I believe this is more visionary than physical although Jesus would have been physical in the vision.

There is no evidence to support a termination of normal life functions.

I believe He said no such thing.

I believe there is no prophecy of Mohammed by Jesus.

I believe that is false.

I believe the apostles encountered the Holy Spirit long before Mohammed existed.

I know that there are Christians who believe Jehovah's Witnesses aren't true Christians. They believe JWs hold false beliefs, distort and misinterpret the Bible, and teach unbiblical doctrines. When I was an evangelical Christian, I believed that JWs weren't true Christians and were a misguided cult. In my years as an evangelist and street preacher, I considered them to be among the least knowledgeable about the Bible. In my prior encounters with them, whether while street preaching or elsewhere, their knowledge of the Bible was restricted to their church doctrines and the interpretation of the Bible that their church approved of and taught. I used to witness to them whenever they attempted to challenge me and my evangelism team while we were street preaching. They heckled and challenged us about our evangelistic message and interpretation of the Bible. We successfully countered every argument they tried to challenge us with. Most of them became quite frustrated and left the area after a while because their challenges had failed. The others who remained behind also gave up, but they stayed and listened to us. They talked to me and my team after we finished our preaching. A few of them either converted to evangelicalism at that time or some time later, and among these, some later trained to street preach. I taught and mentored a few of them.
Are you saying JW’s heckled you?

We don’t resort to such tactics. Never have. That would be petty.

And you say that we are the “least knowledgeable” about the Bible?
Why are you writing these things?

I usually find your posts to be informative & honest, but this is basically tripe.

Your spirits are misleading you, as they have the rest of Christendom for centuries.

As honest as you seem to be in many aspects….back when you were a street evangelist (which denomination?), you should have wondered, ‘How can Christendom have Christ’s truth, when they’ve been disobedient to Christ by killing their brothers during war (John 13:34,35; 15:17), joining the world in its conflicts (John 15:19)?’

Of course they would not have God-given truth (Luke 10:21), due to their disobedient behavior.

You never thought about that, I guess? Most people haven’t.



Have a good day.

I believe when confronted with the truth JWs flee.

I wouldn't say all JWs, because, as I mentioned in my previous post, my evangelism team and I were able to persuade a few of them to convert to evangelical Christianity once they stopped heckling and arguing with us. I taught and mentored some of them as they trained to be street preachers.

You gave up that ministry, didn't you? And so now you talk with dead people perhaps?

I've always found JWs polite and respectful, but religiously obstinate.
Thank you for that. I know I certainly have changed since I began studying with Jehovah's Witnesses. To put it mildly, I was a fairly free-living hippie with few boundaries. Plus. I'm a little <smile> different now. But yes, I hope and expect to be better in the future. So thank you.

What are the best and worst things about heaven?
I’ll start. There are a lot more things but these are my top 5.

Best things about heaven:

1. No more cars or traffic.
2. No more houses to take care of.
3. No more physical ailments or physical pain.
4. No more grief when loved ones die.
5. Seeing loved ones again.

Worst things about heaven:

1. There is no way of knowing what it will be like.
2. There is no itinerary.
3. There is no return ticket if we don’t like it.
4. Eternity is a long time.
5. There might be no animals there.
The best thing about heaven is, there's no postmortal existence for the self, so we don't have the postmortal problem of tedium into eternity.
