1 | Is the first resurrection, the rapture? | Bible general Archive 1 | sisterkath | 75174 | ||
Rapture is not meantioned in the Bible. I use a number of Bibles, but for my personal use, I use The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. |

Tim, I do not agree with you about The New World Translation. But, I use it just as much as I use all my Bibles. If you have a problem with me using that Translation, I can use a different Bible. They all say the same-----The Truth. | ||||||

Hi Hank, I use the New World Translation because I believe in what it says. Since I believe in what the Jehovah Wisnesses teach, I also believe in their Bible. I also believe in other Bible's. Please don't misunderstand me. I believe in all Bibles, but some of the words are different, that's all. jjjjj Yes, I agree with the NWT rendering of John 1:1. |

Steve, Why do I believe that the Word was "a god" and not God? Because, there is only one "Almighty GOD" Jehovah, and one "Son of GOD", Jesus Christ. According to the New English Translation: And the Word was God. John's thrology consistently drives toward the conclusion that Jesus, the incarnate Word, is just as much God as God the Father. This can be seen, for example, in John's use of the verb "worship" (proskunevw, praskunew) with Jesus as object in John 9:38, a word that elsewhere in John (4:21, 23,24) has only God the Father as its object. The construction in John 1:1c does not equate the Word with the person of God; rather it equates the essence of the Word with that of GOD. The Word was "a god". Or "divine," (theos en ho logos). As a divine being Jesus is not only Jehovah's companion but he is also his "master worker" a statement found in Proverbs 8:30. The first two clauses of John 1:1 state Jesus' relation to GOD, but part c states his position. Evidence that John wants to distance the Word with any identification with God is evidenced not only in the omission of the article in John 1:1c, but also the following verse. Jesus was "a god," but not the Almighty Heavenly GOD, Jehovah. |

9 | God not around sin how satan go to him | Bible general Archive 1 | sisterkath | 75296 | ||
According to the Scripture's, Satan is a lie. (He is the Father of "the lie"). He lied to Eve. If satan encourages others to sin, doesn't that make him a sinful angel? So sinful, that he was kicked out of the heavens! Satan is everything evil you can see and hear, that is going on in this world today. The statement, "Satan is not sin itself, but encourages others to sin," is wrong. Satan is all sin. That's why it is very important that we listen to God, and not fall into the path of satan. |

Tim, Sorry it took me so long to return. You are right I misquoted. But, getting back to "a god." 1808 "and the word was a god" The New Testament, in An Improved Version, Upon the Basis of Archbishop Newcome's New Translation: With a Corrected Text, London. 1864 "and a god was the Word" The Emphatic Diaglott (J21, interlinear reading), by Benjamin Wilson, New York and London. 1935 "and the Word was divine" The Bible--An American Translation, by J.M.P. Smith and E.J. Goodspeed, Chicago. 1950 "and the Word was a god" New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures, Brooklyn. 1975 "and a god (or, of a divine kind)was the Word" Das Evangelium nach Johannes, by Siegfried Schulz, Gottingen, Germany. 1978 "and godlike sort was the Logos" Das Evangelium nach Johannes, by Johannes Schneider, Berlin. 1979 "and a god was the Logos" Das Evangelium nach Johannes, by Jurgen Becker, Wurzburg, Germany. These translations use such words as "a god," "divine" or "godlike" because the Greek word Jeoc (theos) is a singular predicate noun occurring before the verb and is not preceded by the definite article. This is an anarthrous the-os'. The God with whom the Word, or Logos, was originally is designated here by the Greek expression o Jeoc, that is the-os preceded by the definite article ho. This is an articular the-os. Careful translators recognize that the articular construction of the noun points to an identity, a personality, whereas a singular anarthrous predicate noun preceding the verb points to a quality about someone. Therefore, John's statement that the Word or Logos was "a god" or "divine" or "godlike" does not mean that he was the God with whom he was. It merely expresses a certain quality about the Word, or Logos, but it does not identify him as one and the same as God himself. |

Hi Tim, It is good to see someone with so much education. I have no former education, but do like to research into the Bible. You asked; "Is there only One God, or are there more than one gods? Reply: Anything that is worshiped can be termed a god, inasmuch as the worshiper attributes to it. A person can even let his belly be a god. Ro 16:18 Php3:18,19. There are many gods that are mentioned in the Bible. Ps 86:8 1Co 8:5,6 it shows that the gods of the nation are valueless gods. Ps 96:5 Among the Hebrew words that are translated God is El, probably meaning Mighty One, Strong One. Ge 14:18. It is used with reference to Jehovah, to other gods, and to men. It is used extensively in the makeup of proper names, such as Elisha, meaning Gjod is Salvation and Michael Who Is Like God. In some places El appears with the definite article ha El literally, the god, with reference to Jehovah, thereby distinguishing him from other gods. Ge 46:3 2Sa 22:31 At Isaiah 9:6 Jesus Christ is prophetically called El Gibbohr, Mighty God, not El Shaddai, God Almighty, which is applied to Jehovah at Genesis 17:1 In the following eight places ha elo him refers to other gods. Ex 18:11 22:20 De 10:17 Jg 10:14 2Ch 2:5 Ps 86:8 136:2 Jer 11:12. |

Tim, Actual facts, right out of NWT. Jesus is the Son of God, not GOD Jehovah. Jesus himself says he is the Son of GOD. Why should I believe any different? And we know what the Son of God means. In the Old Testament, certain men and angels are called, sons of God. At the center of Jesus identity in the Fouth Gospel is his divine sonship. John 10:36. Which now brings us to a different subject. Did Jesus have a heavenly existence before he became man? Yes, he most certainly did. He is the first-born of all creation, all things were created through him and for him. He is before all things. But Jesus is not his Father Jehovah. This is what I believe and what the Bible tells me. |

Hi Tim, Did he or did he not say in Is 43:10, that there is no other god besides him? If he did then how can Jesus be another god? Reply: Tim, there are many gods. But there is only One True GOD, Jehovah. Why wouldn't Jesus be a god? Isn't Satan the god of this world? At Isaiah 43:10. YOU are my witnesses, is the utterance of Jehovah, even my servant whom I have chosen, in order that YOU may know and have faith in me, and that YOU may understand that I am the same One. Before me there was no God formed, and after me there continued to be none. Servant, the anointed God, El Or, and after me there came or, will come, to be none. NWT You are saying that Jesus is GOD ALMIGHTY. Maybe you can answer some of my questions. At Isaiah 53:10 it says, Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him, he hath put him to grief. Bruise WHO? HIMSELF? John 1:38 refers to the arm of Jehovah, at Is 53:1, here along with Is 40:10, we have the arm of Jehovah as being the messiah and differenitated from his Father. Jesus can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing, John 5:19. As the Father GIVES him knowledge and Revelation, Rev 1:1. But Jesus was even then limited in the knowledge given to him, But of that day or hour KNOWETH NO ONE, not even the angels of heaven, neither the son, but the Father only. Matt 24:36, Mark 13:32 If Jesus was one third of God, and the Father was another third of God, how is it possible that Jesus was ignorant of what another part of his Godhead was doing? If Jesus was simply ignorant in his human nature, then how can he, according to you, see John 20:28, be Almighty God in his human nature at the same time? How can he, according to the creeds, be fully God and fully man at the same time and still not know anymore than the angels? Is it perhaps that he was NOT God, but a representative of God who was simply given the power of agency? Does Matt 28:18 and Hebrews 1:3 say that Jesus is, all powerfull? And Jesus came to them and spake unto them, saying, ALL authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth. Matt 28:18. Jesus is GIVEN all authory. Someone who is, all powerful, does not need to be given anything, who being the effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purifications of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. If the Scripture is indeed saying that Jesus is, all powerful, it is interesting that he only gets to sit on God's right hand, instead of in his stead. The angels sit at God's right hand, 1 Kings 22:19, 2Chron 18:18, and it is often a position of favor, 1 Kings 2:19, Ps 45:9, for royalty, but not one that is the ultimate power. 1 Corinthians 15:24-28, NIV. Then the end will come, when he hands over the Kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reigh until he has putt all his enemies under his feet. The lastenemy is death. For he has put everything under his feet. Now when it says that everything has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all. Is Jesus handing over the Kingdom to himself? |

Hank, I agree with you. The truth is, nobody knows for sure how the name of God was originally pronounced. Nevertheless, many prefer the pronunciation Jehovah. Awabakal - Yehoa Bugotu - Jihova Cantonese - Yehwowah Danish - Jehova Dutch - Jehovah Efik - Jehovah English - Jehovah Finnish - Jehova French - Jehovah Futuna - Ihova German - Jehova Hungarian - Jehova Igbo - Jehova Italian - Geova Japanese - Ehoba Narrinyeri - Jehovah And the list can go on. Even though the modern pronunciation Jehovah might not be exactly the way it was pronounced originally, this in no way detracts from the importance of the name. It identifies the Creator, the living God, the Most High to whom Jesus said: "Our Father in the Heaven, let your name be sanctified." Matthew 6:9 |

Hi Ray, In the New World Translation it reads; "YOU must pray, then, this way; "Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified*." * Or, "be held sacred; he treated as holy." Gr., ha.gi.a.sthe'to; Lat., snc.ti.fi.ce'tur; J17,18 Hebrew., yit.gad.dash', "let be santified." John 17:1; Jesus spoke these things, and raising his eyes to heaven, he said: "Father, the hour has come; glorify your son, that your son may glorify you." In this verse, Jesus is asking his "Father" Jehovah, to glorify him "Son", Jesus, that your son may glorify you." I don't see no Trinity in this verse! sisterkath |

Hi Ray, I agree, I don't see why we can't talk under peaceful conditions. Did I say anything "out of the way"? May I ask, just what are you trying to tell me? We are all guilty before God; and those who vaunt it over the frailties and infirmities of others little think how many things they offend in themselves. Let us learn to be severe in judging ourselves, but charitable in our judgments of other people. Matthew Henry's sisterkath |

Ray, I feel I did address my point to Hank, but not maybe to you! Do you have something against me Ray? I never said that "Abba" was not in Greek! Matter of fact, I am looking at it now. Father, customary title used of God in prayer, Abba, approximating a personal name, framed by the lips of infants betokens unreasoning trust. Gather expresses an intelligent apprhension of the relationship by he child. The two together express the love and intelligent confidence of the child. Mk 14:36; Rom 8:15; Gal 4:6 I don't see how this relates to what Hank and I were talking about! Could you please tell me? OOOOO but make it easy, so I understand!! sisterkath |

Hank, Was I ahead? There is but one "Almighty God" and he name is, Jehovah. There is but one "Son" and his name is, Jesus Christ. I do not agree with the Trinity, and say that Jesus is Jehovah. Nice try, trying to put words into my mouth. One last note, before I leave this board, Acts 13:41; "Behold it, YOU scorners, and wonder at it, and vanish away, because I am working a work in YOUR days, a work that YOU will by no means believe even if anyone relates it to YOU in detail." 1 Corinthians 8:5,6; For even though there are those who are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one God, the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and we through him. 1 Corinthians 11:3; But I want YOU to know that the head of every man is the Christ; in turn the head of a woman is the man; in turn the head of the Christ is God. Philipians 2:5,6; Keep this mental attitude in YOU that was also in Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God. Colossians 3:17; And whatever it is that YOU do in word or in work, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, thanking God the Father through him. 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is ONE God, and ONE mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 2:23; Further, turn down foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing they produce fights. Last but not lest, Acts 2:21; And everyone who calls on the name of JEHOVAH will be saved. |

20 | Caleb was a man filled with the Spirit. | Num 14:24 | sisterkath | 75111 | ||
The NIV Study Bible, says at Numbers 14:24: "my servant Caleb has a different spitit," Caleb seems to be singled out; perhaps the words of vv. 7-9 were his, and he was joined in them by Joshua. Caleb's ultimate vindication came 45 years later. (see note on 13:22; see also Jos 14:10) 13:22-----Hebron. The first city the spies came to in Canaan. The parenthetical comment about the city's being built seven years before Zoan in Egypt may have been prompted by their amazement at the size and fortifications of the city that was so closely associated with the lives of their ancestors four centuries before this time. In the stories of the ancestors of their people, Hebron had not been a great city, but a dwelling and trading place for shepherds and herdsmen. desecendants of Anak---Three notable Anak descendents are mentioned as living at Hebron. The Anakites were men of great statue, their physical size brought fear to the peoples. In a later day of faith, Caleb was to drive them from their city (Jos. 15:14; Jdg 1:10) Jos 14:10-----"Now then, just as the LORD promised, he has kept me alive for forty-five years since the time he said this to Moses, while Israel moved about in the desert. So here I am today, eighty-five years old! |
