Quote (Lightenup @ Aug. 28 2010,20:57)Prof-What an assumption you made.Quote I asked her to remove the ambiguous term “God” (Theos) and place YHWH or her father's name to see how the statement appeared and she didn't.  Why?  Because it doesn't have the same “deception-nature”.I didn't play your game because you were not comparing apples with a…[Read more]

Hello Georg,So you are saying that these verses were completed in the past?Rev 13:16-17 And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark,…[Read more]

Actually, I feel lucky and I am honored to be able to call myself a Christian.

Ed,Here is what Gene said:ED J………Jesus is being displayed as a GOD, that is creating a MAN OF SIN, anyone Who thinks His Will is “FREE” is a GOD unto himself, “know you not that your (ARE) the temples of the living GOD”. But man takes his stand in this temple not as a son of GOD, but as A GOD Himself and this is very easily seen by his…[Read more]

Ed,Again, I've asked you to look up Spirit, Ruwach in the OT, have you done it yet?If not, I will for the untold time repeat it for you:Spirit = Ruwach (noun, FEMININE) Gen 1:2Kathi finally did and cut and pasted what was there which showed the same as what I put above.Please do the same and it will show you the truth about the Spirit of…[Read more]

No Ed, I didn't know why….but, I peeked.

Sorry Georg,I meant to say their “SPIRITS” aren't in the grave, you are right and caught me in my error. Of course David's decayed body would be in his tomb….David isn't.Answering about “paradise” is a rather long and tedious task because so little is written about it in the Bible. There is the paradise in Eden, the paradise Jesus mentioned,…[Read more]

Wow Georg,,,,,long post. Now I know what others meant about me posting long stuff…. hahaI agree that the OT law passed away with Jesus and we entered an ERA of Grace versus the ERA of the Law.Luk 23:46 And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMIT MY SPIRIT.” Having said this, He breathed His last. (Here's…[Read more]

Irene,I now speak Spanish and English. I used to speak some Korean and Italian when I lived in their countries.I read a bit of the Aleph Beit of Hebrew.And I find it hilarious that God would be called Alpha and Omega in Greek…it just ain't “kosher”.I know how hard it is to come across correctly in other languages so I try to fill in the…[Read more]

Pierre,I think that the Jews followed YHWH.I think that YHWH's true followers followed Yahshua.NT churches are identified with Christ. The Temple is identified with YHWH.So, who would be witnessing for YHWH but the Jews?What name is given under heaven for salvation? Act 4:12 “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name…[Read more]

Pierre,I agree. All OT “Bibles” had to be exactly the same.That is why I am “interested” in what the Bereans were searching daily for so that I could keep an OT log of “truths” that were “hidden”.Jesus also quoted Scripture to the two disciples on the road to Emmaeus explaining himself.

Pierre,Maybe you are right. I did look back and there are many threads similar to what I think and feel, but with a little bit difference in the outlook.As an educator I am doing a poor job of motivating people into finding the “truth” in the Bible and I feel it is due to religious affiliation versus Bible knowledge.People prefer to give opinions…[Read more]

Rev 13:17 and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.

Marty,I see so many Scriptures that has Jesus pre-existing that I really never thought that he didn't pre-exist.I feel “dumb-founded” that anyone would try to change what the Bible says to deny it. There has to be a religion following Satan's lead to try to cause “doubt and confusion” concerning God's written word, the Bible. I am still a…[Read more]

Thanks Marty,I wasn't even thinking of “anyone” particular, it just struck a funny bone to see two people chiming in unison….and that was the first thing to pop up….and being Politically Incorrect I failed to hold my tongue against the teaching of James.Again I apologize to the both of you.

I still believe that the Jews, YHWH's chosen people, are the one and only “true” Jehovah's Witness.That is why followers of Christ are called Christians.

Jerry,1Ti 4:14 Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, God is our Savior by giving us His son to be our Salvation. Without giving/sending us His son there would be no salvation.It is like the man who threw the life-saver to a drowning passenger thrown overboard….who is the “savior”? The man who gave the life-saver or the life-saver? Or both?

Jerry,A good dilemma.Mat 18:14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Apparently Man can…[Read more]

Pierre,I think that God saved the Scriptures that He wanted so that we could know Him better.The Bible is the written word;Jesus is the living word;And the Holy Spirit is the word living in us.Matthew and Luke explains that Mary had yet had sex with Joseph and that the Power of the Most High, The Holy Spirit, came upon her and overpowered her.Had…[Read more]

Eph 4:4 There is one body (YHVH) and one Spirit (Spirit), just as also you were called in one hope (JC) of your calling;
