Hi all.Just been going back on some old posts of mine from a year ago, and was wondering anyone's views on this, thanks!karmariePosted: June 02 2010,22:15(Conversation with Bodhitharta),In hermas it seems the son of God has always existed, he was the one through whom all things were created. He is the Holy Spirit.Jesus was a man who the Son (Holy…[Read more]

Gene, my post above is off topic, no need to reply.Peace and love to you and yours too Gene. Later.

Ok Jay, i'll talk to you in private about this… (it's shamefull for a woman to chatter in an assembly)!!

TK and Terrarica you are right as the bible says there is neither Jew nor Greek (Gentile). But think; these 144'000 are sealed, it has to do with the tribulation, but doesn't nessesarilly seperate them in the end when the great crowd stand before the throne of God does it (?)And Istari good post in regards to the chronological order of Rev and…[Read more]

Quote (bodhitharta @ April 30 2011,11:32)I am not taking anything away from Jesus wouldm't being a sinless servant make for a perfect Servant?Bod, Jesus said to follow him, not someone else. A woman should follow her husband if he is a believer. But a man should follow Christ only who is the head. And God is the head of Christ.

Quote (Stu @ April 30 2011,01:21)karmarieYou appear to have omitted the part about the unfortunate family values of Jesus.StuartStuart, what were those?

Gene,I know what your saying.This is sort of off topic but,“2 Thessalonians 2:7…”For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.”It got me thinking to other things (the restrainer) which many believe to be the Holy Spirit and how in the last days it will be either diminished or…[Read more]

And the 144'000 on earth are Jews.The Gentiles are the great multitude in Heaven…(that's what it seems to me?)

Rev 7:9After these things I saw, and lo, a great multitude, which to number no one was able, out of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their handsRevelation 14:1-5I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one…[Read more]

JA, why be tested again? The judgment is final. And if you believe in a thousand year millenium, what is the point in that? Only for satan to twice be let lose? It doesn't make sense to what scripture says. What about Matthew 25… And 2nd Peter 3?*Edited, put wrong chapter.

The 144,000 are Jews (which is what it say's) and there is a multitude in Heaven (which no one was able to number (thats not 144'000) and these ones in Heaven are from every nation, and tribe, and people, and tongue (this is a different group), and they are standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, in Heaven.The 144'000 are first mentioned…[Read more]

JA/Istari (which one do you prefer?)How do you know that the 144,000 aren't the ones who are given the Earth, and the rest aren't all in Heaven?There is a multitude which no Man can count seen in Heaven.*Rev 7:9(YLT)After these things I saw, and lo, a great multitude, which to number no one was able, out of all nations, and tribes, and peoples,…[Read more]

Wow Gene that is really interesting. Glad to hear your ok too. I hadn't seen you posting as much. The forum has got really quiet these days. But OK… I remember when I was driven to read the bible… something just didn't seem right to me in what I was hearing people say. I was like “what about the Father?” “what about God?” I hear so much about…[Read more]

Irene, I think this is a really important topic that should be studied.I would like to get hold of that book you speak about, might look in the Library.I'm not sure of the book of Revelations because it's really hard to understand and piece it all together. But the word's of Paul of the Man of sin and the falling away is what I would like to look…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ April 30 2011,01:02)Karmarie,What did God design marriage for?  It seems that me that he legislated it for the purpose of having and raising children.  Reproduction will be unnecessary in a place where humans live forever.    I am sure angels have relationships among one another.    A couple may very well stick together for etern…[Read more]

Quote (betweenchristendomandjws @ April 29 2011,06:32)I hope angels can materialize on Earth again   . I doubt there's a scriptural reference for it though.BC&JW, I looked but cant find anything. What do the JWs teach on this? (Are you a JW yet)?

Stuart,Matt4:19Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left nets, and followed him.Matt 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
