JOHN 21:4-7“However, just as it was getting to be morning, Jesus stood on the beach, but the disciples did not, of course, discern that it was Jesus. Then Jesus said to them: “Young children, YOU do not have anything to eat, do YOU?” They answered “No!” to him. He said to them: “Cast the net on the right side of the boat and YOU will find .” The…[Read more]

Quote Hi David, I am glad that you agree, since this is what God has said, and if what I have given you through the scriptures that I have quoted, are coming from God, should you not also agree to what is being said to you by God through those scriptures.

Maybe I should explain what I believe, so Nick can start picking on me, instead of the other way around.

Quote What would you say is the tabernacle of God?94, I do not doubt that God will “be with” his people or 'dwell' with them.(Rev 21:2,3)But I think Nick is of the impression that God will be walking around and you'll see him there, sitting on a throne on earth. The earth is his footstool. The heavens are his throne. He is not a man, that he…[Read more]

so, according to the BIBLE:“Jehovah himself has firmly established his throne in the very heavens.”Heaven is his “established place of dwelling.”–THE BIBLENick, I'm wondering what your answer to this biblical question would be:“‘The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool.

He is at the right…[Read more]
