Terrarica,

Find one place where it literally states Jesus was created first by God.

Hi Kerwin,

It is JW doctrine based on misinterpretation of Rev 3:14 and Col 1:17.
He will not let go of this false belief no matter who explains it to him.
Rev 3:14 and Col 1:17 are about Christ’s preeminence, not a creation order!

Q. When God says “ye shall be as the Angels” …to you – does that mean we become Angels or gods ?

Angel is an English word that refers to spirit messengers. Spirit messengers are gods, according to scripture. So when Jesus says some of us will becomes as the messengers, he is meaning some of us will become spirit beings – as opposed t…

PS. I have a good video to post in the evolution of evolution thread, but likely SZ will not watch it anyway.

Please send me the link. I have been going gangbusters on the evolution/creation debate. I have been reading, ordering videos, listening to a podcast called “Real Science Radio”, and doing all kinds of research on the web. It is…

Hi MikeBoll64, (how are you doing)

1. God didn’t put the world to come in subjugation to the Angels in Heb.2:5, but then
HE DID put the world to come in subjugation to Michael the Archangel (*in Heb.2:8* – NOT ! ).

2. God says there are no gods in Isiah 44:8, but he also says THAT THERE ARE (*but exactly where* ???).

Point #2 saying “that t…[Read more]

Hi Kerwin,

Does Hosea 6:6 appear to be
teaching that not sinning is better than
sinning and trying to make amends afterwards?

“Yes” or “No” ?

Hi Kerwin,

“Yes” or “No”?

Hi Kerwin,

Does Hosea 6:6 appear to be (to you)
teaching that not sinning is better than
sinning and trying to make amends afterwards?

“Yes” or “No”?

Hi Kerwin,

EdJ,

I am disagreeing with your though “it is better not to do wrong than to acknowledge it and try to make amends?”

Hi Kerwin,

Are you agreeing with me that this principal is taught in the bible or no?

Ed,

Is not Jesus also saying “it is better not to do wrong than to acknowledge it and try to make amends?”

Rather he is teaching us God wants us to love as he loves and not just in religious forms, such as sacrifice is. Jesus speaks of such when he tells certain people to give their hearts as well as tithes and offerings and Paul als…

Hi Nick and Kerwin,

Thank you both for giving your input,
and of course I agree with you both as well.

God’s HolySpirit makes us God’s children just like
God’s HolySpirit fathered the spirit of Christ.

“Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence:
shall we not much rather be in subjection unto…[Read more]

… it would have to be:

God the Father
God the son
God the grand son

they instinctively know that doesn’t work too well – because we don’t become “God”

Hi Kerwin,

The reason “the trinity” is such a popular idea
is because it is based on wording in “the bible”

“God the Father”
“Son of God”
and
“Holy Spirit”

But when they say ‘Jesus is God’ they loose the family arrangement of God.
Let me explain. We become part of God’s family, but we don’t become “God”.

God the Father begets
the Son Christ…[Read more]

Hi Kerwin,

Studying the bible is like understanding “optics”. When focusing in on detail
the larger field of view becomes out of focus. That’s why Jesus used the words…

“strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel” (ref. Matt 23:24)

The Pharisees lost sight of the bigger picture in their zeal to strain at detail.
And because of this they lost the…[Read more]

Ed,
Jesus quotes the verse in Matthew a couple of times and uses different sentence structure from your quote.

What point are you trying to make, Kerwin?

“For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings” (Hosea 6:6)

“But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for…[Read more]
