    Why did Jesus have to suffer and die?

    And the last part that says "...to the glory of God the Father." It's important to give God glory where glory is due. Jesus won't be getting that glory for it belongs to God alone, the Father, the only true God. (John 17:3) Philippians 2 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to...

    Your Soul IS Immortal, Until...

    Hello Davy. Do those in hell get eternal life? Perhaps we can glean something about the mortality of the soul from Paul's 1st letter to the Corinthians. 1 Cor 15 53For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.

    What are the main doctrinal differences between Jehovah's Witnesses and mainstream Christianity?

    As I said before, God is Holy and Spirit, but His Spirit isn't a separate person to Himself. There is nothing conclusive about Acts 16:6 that says the Holy Spirit made a decision or if they were prevented via the power of their Holy Spirit anointing. You have not demonstrated the Holy Spirit is...

    What are the main doctrinal differences between Jehovah's Witnesses and mainstream Christianity?

    Or the Holy Spirit isn't a person in the Godhead since the literal reading of the verse you quoted and I quoted allows for that interpretation. The "Holy Spirit" is sometimes a designation for God Himself, aka the Father or YHWH since God is Spirit and is also holy then He's Holy Spirit, not a...

    What are the main doctrinal differences between Jehovah's Witnesses and mainstream Christianity?

    That also proves the Holy Spirit is not a third person in the Godhead of the "trinity." If no one has seen the Father except the Son then the Holy Spirit hasn't seen the Father. If you would like, I will go an extra mile with you until you understand this. Matthew 11 27All things have been...

    What are the main doctrinal differences between Jehovah's Witnesses and mainstream Christianity?

    If you're one and only God isn't the Father then you have an idol. It's as simple as that and I didn't write the Bible. John 17:3, 1 Corinthians 8:6, Ephesians 4:6, 1 John 5:20, etc. Their day is coming. Revelation 21 8But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and...

    What are the main doctrinal differences between Jehovah's Witnesses and mainstream Christianity?

    While JWs got a lot of things wrong, it was a grand slam on their part that they successfully identified that Jesus isn't God. Therefore, they don't have the idolatry problem that all of the Protestants and Catholics suffer from.

    Your Soul IS Immortal, Until...

    Close, but it's actually that only God is immortal.. until... He gives someone the gift of eternal life. Those in hell do not have the gift of eternal life. Therefore, the human soul is only conditionally immortal. The condition being God's decision. 1 Tim 6 16He alone is immortal and dwells in...

    Who is Jesus Christ?

    The answer about who Jesus is, as revealed by the Father in heaven, is below. I say don't add anything else to this. Since Peter was praised then you will be, too. Matt 16 13When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”...

    What are these orbs people are seeing?

    I looked, by the way. I don't have them. I recall deleting them some years ago.

    What are these orbs people are seeing?

    They might be on my very old digital camera collecting dust in a closet somewhere. I will make it a point to check later when I have time.

    What are these orbs people are seeing?

    I don't know with certainty, but I have seen them before in a house I lived in. I told my room mate there is something crazy going on. Managed to catch a few on camera and sometimes if you zoomed in close enough you could see a face in them. All of their expressions looked menacing. If they are...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    I'm glad you quoted it because it was already on my radar if you denied the rest of the verses. It only supplements the point of being judged by works, i.e., the things you do whether good or bad.

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Those who do good are resurrected to life. Those who do evil are resurrected to judgement. My belief simply follows what Jesus and the other disciples taught. I understand not everyone believes them, but never the less this is what the said. John 5 28Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Everyone get's judgement in the end. Grace and mercy are for those who were using their time doing good and therefore they get eternal life. Your eternal life is in the "age to come." You haven't actually laid a hold of it yet. If you had already been given eternal life, you wouldn't die, but...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    A person's sins are judged on an individual basis. Eternal life is a future, post-resurrection, event which none aside from Jesus have experienced. Judgement of sin is also after the resurrection. The final judgement is all works based. John 5 28Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming...

    Who is Jesus Christ?

    Amen. God is invisible and Jesus is not invisible.

    Who is Jesus Christ?

    John 17 3Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.

    Who is Jesus Christ?

    It's not literally laying eyes on Jesus and then suddenly they saw the Father. They were with Jesus from the beginning of his ministry. It was not until John chapter 14:7 that Jesus said, " If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”...
