Define “heaven.”In the Bible, the term sometimes applies to the spiritual dwelling place of God and his angelic sons. (Matthew 6:9; 18:10) “Heavens” may also denote the physical universe. (Deuteronomy 4:19) And the Bible uses this term to refer to earth’s immediate atmosphere, where birds fly and winds blow.—Psalm 78:26; Matthew 6:26.I assume…[Read more]

As far as I can tell Nick, they also don't believe that God endlessly cruelly torments the wicked for all time in fire because of the sins of a person while on earth.Sadly, I believe Sammo won't be around for a couple months to defend his belief that God doesn't torture people.I agree. Their beliefs “are quite sound on most matters.” And they…[Read more]

Where did Elijah go Nick? What do you think?

ACTS 2:34“Actually David did not ascend to the heavens,”I was thinking about this verse the other day. Why would the Bible say this about David if no man will ever go to heaven, if it's completely ridiculous to believe anyone would ever go to heaven and this is obvious, why say that “actually, David did not ascend to the heavens.”Nick, I don't b…[Read more]

Quote Everyday is Easter to me.Quote "Easter" is just another day.So what you're saying is…."Everyday is to me."Sorry, I know what you meant. Every day we should rememember Jesus' great sacrifice on our behalf.But to say that: "Everyday is Christmas to me," for example, seems wrong.So to you, every day is a pagan holiday covered in lies…[Read more]

Jesus’ application of this expression to himself clearly showed that God’s Son was now indeed a human, having ‘become flesh’ (Joh 1:14), having ‘come to be out of a woman’ through his conception and birth to the Jewish virgin Mary. (Ga 4:4; Lu 1:34-36) Hence he had not simply materialized a human body as angels had previously done; he was not an…[Read more]

Quote Christmas is a man made event to remember Jesus's birth. but is it wrong to do so ? Hi happyman. There is a thread that discusses this. Is it wrong to do so? What we do know is that paganism is wrong. Lies are wrong. Would connecting these things to Jesus birth be wrong?Nowhere does scripture command us to celebrate his birth.The…[Read more]

“Father + Son + THEIR Spirit = God”What does that mean?I thought: Father = God.If I understand your equation, you have to have the Father and the Son and I presume you mean Jehovah's holy spirit to have God. This is what the symbols and equal sign mean.And, no, I don't believe that the holy spirit is absolutely everywhere. I didn't say that. As…[Read more]

OK, God is everywhere, In Jesus, in you, in the air, in Satan…oops, that doesn't sound right.Of course Jehovah was with His Son, Jesus. He is the Creator of all things. His wisdom and proof of his power and love are found in everything. His holy spirit can be in people. But God himself, the “person” of God, whose “established place of…[Read more]

We are told certain things about God. And those things indicate that he is not omnipresent. There is no need to speculate. Maybe my understanding of the word “omnipresent” is wrong.

Thanks for the compliment Nick.

Nick Hassen,Doesn't this scripture make things clear?“Now all this took place to fulfil the words spoken by the Lord through the prophet: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son and they will call him Immanuel, a name which means ‘God-is-with-us’.

Quote Hi David,Scripture records times when God dwelled on earth.”Num 5.3″…I dwell in their midst”Num 35.34″…for I the Lord am dwelling in the midst..”Lv 26.11″I will make My dwelling among you..”Right, but in saying all these things, it just shows that he does in fact have an “established place of dwelling,” heaven.
