When our Maker, Jehovah God created Adam (Gen 2:7), he later saw the need for him to have a "complement" or "help meet"(KJV), a wife, saying: "It is not good for the man to continue to be alone. I am going to make a helper for him, as a complement of him".(Gen 2:18) Upon creating Eve (meaning...

Though some feel that "the Christ of the New Testament is the Jehovah of the Old Testament", this is not the case. The use of Isaiah 6:1-10 to John 12:31-42 to say that Jesus is Jehovah does not "hold water." For example, at Exodus 24:12, it says: "And Jehovah said unto Moses, Come up to me into...

You obviously are biased toward the trinity, without regard for what is just and accurate. It is like using a measuring tape that reads 13 inches for a foot instead of twelve, adding the extra inch because of bias. The addition of God to Acts 7:59 is no different than the addition of the...

The reading of the King James Bible at Acts 7:59, which says: "And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit", is a Scripture that has been tampered with, adding the word "God " in order to promote the trinity. Such Bibles as The Montgomery New Testament...

Most have not discerned the meaning of Matthew 24, whereby Jesus gave features that would identify the "sign" of his invisible "presence."("presence", Greek pa·rou·si´as, Matt 24:3, 27,37 and 39, and not "coming", Greek er·kho´me·non). One of the features is that "nation will rise against...

Charles T. Russel did not interpret the prophecy of Daniel 4 as "suggesting that Armageddon would come in 1914", making "arrogant claims." Rather he thought that global troubles culminating in anarchy (which they understood would be associated with the war of “the great day of God the...

The Bible is indeed "truth", for Jesus said in prayer to his Father: "Your word is truth."(John 17:17) Furthermore, Jesus said of those who are his disciples, that "you will know the truth and the truth will set you free."(John 8:32) Thus, the sixty-six books of the Bible are "truth". And by...

Hello Jasoncran, You use the expression "fully immersed in the truth". Am I to understand that you feel that Jehovah's Witnesses have "the truth" ?(John 8:32) Was there something that "unsettled" you, causing you to "leave" Jehovah ?(Jer 2:13)

To be "born again" means that a person has been selected for the heavenly calling by Jehovah God.(Matt 20:23. 2 Thess 2:13; see the 2/8, 1988 Awake!, pg 26, The Bible's Viewpoint - Who Are "Born Again"?) Jesus used this expression twice in speaking with Nicodemus, at John 3:3 and 7 and said that...

The term "Godhead" is an English variant of the word "godhood" and was first introduced by John Wycliffe (1330-1384 C.E.) in English Bible versions as godhede. The word "Godhead" is a translation of three different Greek words, theion (meaning "divinity, deity", # 2304 in Thayer's Greek-English...

Not only is it "not smart", but is contrary to law of marriage, that Jehovah God stipulated "from the beginning." Jesus said it very succinctly: "Did you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and...

Most of Jehovah 's Witnesses are not "born again", not being selected by God as "kings and priests"(Rev 1:6) to form the "kingdom of God."(Rev 5:9,10) In addition, being baptized does not mean that one is "born again", but that ' baptism is not the putting away of the filth of the flesh ( for...

Coop, At Revelation 10:7, it says that "in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to blow his trumpet, then shall there be finished the mystery (Greek my·ste?ri·on, more accurately "sacred secret") of God, according to the Good News which he told unto his slaves, the...

Coop, It is not what you see or "believe" or "I think" that matters in regard to understanding the prophetic statements of the Bible, that you say that Satan's "reign" ends at the "seventh trumpet". Rather, the "seventh trumpet" or announcement is when "the kingdom of the world has become the...

In pronouncing blessings before his death, Jacob was foretelling tribal traits and conduct that would be displayed in the future by his descendants “in the final part of the days"(Gen 49:1), of the different twelve tribes that came from his sons. Over two centuries earlier Jehovah God had...

You are technically right, in that Satan the Devil's rulership over the "this world" ends at the time he is thrown into the "abyss" or prison-like state of inactivity at the conclusion of Armageddon, for a period of 1000 years (Rev 20:1-3), following the destruction of all human governments...

Veteran, You keep trying to "prop up" the nation of fleshly Israel, attempting to apply scriptures from Genesis onward to them, as if God somehow changed his mind regarding them. Though Jesus tried to gather them in as a nation, "the way a hen gathers her chicks together under her wings !", he...

Satan began his "reign" when Adam and Eve rebelled in the Garden of Eden as a result of the first lie some six thousand years ago, and will end permanently at the end of "the thousand year" reign of Christ Jesus. At this time, after having been in the "abyss" or prison-like state for one...

Veteran, I agree that the scepter came though the tribe of Judah, as seen at Genesis 49:10 and Psalms 78:68, and that was fulfilled in Jesus as the "root of David."(Rev 5:5) However, the Israelites as a nation were "abandoned" to themselves, with the temple no longer being inhabited by God's...

At 1 Corinthians 16:17, 2 Corinthians 7:6, 7 and Philippians 1:26, the interlinears The Emphatic Diaglott, The New Testament in the Original Greek, a Greek master text by Westcott and Hort, and the online interlinear Scripture4all have all rendered the Greek word pa·rou·si´as as "presence"...
