Let's look at the context of this verse. The thought in the Greek is “For as the sunlight rises out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall also the presence of the Son of man be.” The reference is not to the orb of the sun but to sunlight. The sun arises in the east and makes its...

Ah, He's not done with them yet. Remember what Paul said in Romans 11:25, 26 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And...

“BEHOLD, HE IS COMING WITH THE CLOUDS, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen”—Revelation 1:7 (NASB) Revelation 1:7 begins with a prophecy from Daniel 7:13,14 (NASB): “Behold, with the clouds of...

When we read of this “river of water of life,” we notice that truth will flow as a mighty river, refreshing and blessing the whole earth (Rev. 22:1). This river comes by means of the prospective members of the bride class that now have God’s spirit in them. The Bride is to become a “partaker of...

In Matt. 5:6, Jesus said, “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” “Hunger” and “Thirst” suggest a human craving for food and drink. However, in this scripture, Jesus is not referring to food and drink, but a hunger and thirst for...

Man wants to live forever. While he lives longer today than in the 1800s, typically people only live into their 70s or 80s. This was prophesied in Psa. 90:10 (BBE): “The measure of our life is seventy years; and if through strength, it may be eighty years, its pride is only trouble and sorrow...

That doesn't make it so. God is no respecter of persons. The only Nation He ever gave his blessings to was the Nation of Israel.

"Stuck in a time warp"? LOL Tell me, Jane, If Bible Students believe they have the Truth and have tried and tested it over and over the past 150 years, why would we need to progress? Progress to what? Your Governing Body claim to speak for God and Jesus, they have the red phone on their desk...

Then prove it with scripture and reason, let's debate it. If you believe you have the Truth, then nothing I say can sway you. I only ask that as the Bible student you claim to be, you look at the evidence, not just discard it, because you have the Truth and there's no need to look at what I have...

And what scriptures do you have to prove your point? Yes, Romans 13:1-2 tell us: Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the...

The great crowd of Rev. 7 AND the other sheep of John 10 are heavenly classes. Read the context of John 10, and see that Jesus was not referring to an earthly class, but he was addressing the Jews in that he had other sheep, not of the Jewish fold, but of the gentiles.

There are other translations that render it so, some predate the NWT, others have a similiar thought . 1808: “and the word was a god.” The New Testament in an Improved Version, Upon the Basis of Archbishop Newcome’s New Translation: With a Corrected Text. 1864: “and a god was the word.” The...

And this is why True Christians should not be involved in politics, Jesus said, His Kingdom was no part of this world. The True Church is IN the World, not OF the world.

Correct, but in the case of John 1:1, Jehovah is theon, which is basically the same word. So let me ask you Jane, how do you explain 2 Corinthians 4:4 "whose minds the god [ho theos] of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the...

Glad you added that last clause. The Church class is given IMMORTALITY, not Everlasting life, there's a difference.

He was offering His DISCIPLES aka the CHURCH, joint heirship, to be co-rulers with Him. Reconciling mankind back to God. The Great Crowd is NOT an earthly class. The world of mankind, everyone OUTSIDE of the anointed ones, which includes the great crowd inherits earth after growing in grace and...

So the anointed were getting everlasting life in God's Kingdom?

No, because I don't believe God will destroy the world's sinners next time with fire.

We have been hearing and reading in the news about global warming, the threat of more violent storms, and rising seas that could flood the earth to the point of destroying it. God, however, in the Scriptures made a covenant that “neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a...

Malachi was the last of the Hebrew prophets. His name means, “The Messenger of Jehovah.” His mission was to reinforce Judah’s belief and confidence in God and remind them of their responsibilities as members of a covenant community with God. The concept of the Covenant of Israel is fundamental...
