Be careful! "You said that Jesus is the uncreated son of God." That's not what the forum rules say. It says begotten, that means created, made, Fathered etc. Maybe we should put you off the forum. "We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only Begotten Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary." |

2 | body dies/soul goes where? | 2 Cor 5:8 | Aniset | 117660 | ||
IS THE SOUL IMMORTAL? In the Bible the word "soul" appears in many translations as a rendering for the Hebrew word ne´phesh and the Greek word psy·khe´. (See, for example, Ezekiel 18:4 and Matthew 10:28 in the Authorized Version, New English Bible, Revised Standard Version and Douay Version.) These same Hebrew and Greek terms have also been translated as "being," "creature" and "person." Regardless of whether your Bible consistently renders the original-language words as "soul" (as does the New World Translation), an examination of texts where the words ne´phesh and psy·khe´ appear will help you to see what these terms meant to God's people of ancient times. Thus you can determine for yourself the true nature of the soul. Describing the creation of the first man, Adam, the opening book of the Bible says: "Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul [ne´phesh]." (Genesis 2:7) We may note that the Bible does not say that 'man received a soul,' but that "man came to be a living soul." Did first-century Christian teaching differ from this concept of "soul"? No. In what is commonly called the "New Testament," the statement about Adam's creation is quoted as fact: "It is even so written: 'The first man Adam became a living soul."' (1 Corinthians 15:45) In the original language of this text the word for "soul," psy·khe´, appears. Accordingly, in this scripture the Greek word psy·khe´, like the Hebrew word ne´phesh, designates, not some invisible spirit residing in man, but man himself. Rightly, then, certain Bible translators have chosen to use such words as "being," "creature" and "person" in their renderings of Genesis 2:7 and 1 Corinthians 15:45.-New English Bible, Young's Literal Translation, Revised Standard Version; compare The Bible in Living English, which uses "person" at Genesis 2:7 but "soul" at 1 Corinthians 15:45. Belief in a fiery hell is thus seen to rest on the teaching that man has a soul that survives the death of the body. But is this teaching in harmony with the Bible? |

3 | WTB Show where is the devil kicked out. | Genesis | Aniset | 117655 | ||
We can't go on what we think. We can only prove what the bible says. The bible helps us to see that Satan had not been kicked out of heaven in the beginning because he was still able to to go between earth to heaven in the book of Job 2:2. You said:"how could He create something formless and void?" You must remember that One day to God is like one thousand days to us. 2Peter 3:8 So the bible is not talking about 7 literal days. |

Job 1:6 will also help to see that Satan was not kicked out of heaven at Gen.1-5. | ||||||
5 | when was lucifer kicked out of heaven | Genesis | Aniset | 117631 | ||
Genesis 1:1-5 is explaining creation, Day,Night,Water, Earth etc.. However, Revelation wich is a prophey of the last days says at Revelation 12:7 That a war broke out in Heaven. And the 9th verse says that Satan was then cast down onto the earth. It would be helpful to read 12:1-10 it sheds more light on the topic. |

Colin, My job is simply to preach GODS words. I am aware that all will not accept. However, whenever there is someone that is interested in learning more about GODS word the bible all I can do is offer my services. Sometimes it helps when we can have one one help. Take note Colin, everyone has a choice to do what they want. If they do or don't want to study with a Jehovah's Witness it's up to them. I am not trying force the word on anyone. I have also heard many things on this forum that has no bibical foundation, but you don't see me telling people not to talk to you. I posted my e-mail address because 1. I wanted to share the bible's message in an organized way with someone that seemed interested. 2. I saw someone else leave their e-mail address and nothing was said. So I thought it was okay. So are you complaining because I am a Witness or because I have done something wrong? If I have done something wrong or offended Classy, Please forgive me. Take time yourself to find out what we believe and why we believe it before you pass judgement. I am not trying to take anything from you. If you know the truth about something share it. And if you would like to know more about Jehovah's Witiness beliefs you can e-mail me as well. I am not trying to convert youor argue with you. |

10 | Who was on the earth first Adam or satan | Is 14:12 | Aniset | 114631 | ||

11 | satans real name | Is 14:12 | Aniset | 114617 | ||
Lucifer means:SHINING ONE (Isaiah 14:12). So although the Name Lucifer is not their the meaning is still the same. The term "Lucifer" is found only once in the Scriptures and that at Isaiah 14:12. Even this, however, is true of only certain versions, such as the King James, Douay, An American Translation, Knox and Darby. The American Standard Version and the Revised Standard Version use the expression "Day Star"; Rotherham, "Shining One"; Moffatt, "shining star." The King James Version at Isaiah 14:12, 13 reads: "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north." The Hebrew word here translated Lucifer is Heylél. In the Septuagint Version it is rendered by the Greek word Heosphóros, which means "bringer of dawn." In Jerome's Latin Vulgate Version this word is translated "Lucifer," which accounts for its appearance in other versions, especially in Catholic versions. To appreciate just how the term "Lucifer". |

15 | What is God's Son's name? | Phil 2:9 | Aniset | 108464 | ||
Most of the newer bibles make it hard to determine who they are talking about when they use the title Lord for both the Father and Son. The name Jehovah was in the Original Holy Scriptures over 7000 times. In most newer bibles the name Jehovah or YHWH is replaced with Lord. Before you disagree with me please research the information yourself. |

16 | Are you a follower of Jesus or a church? | Matt 10:32 | Aniset | 108463 | ||
CDBJ, I find this to be true for me also. My family members were very made at me for following Christ to the point that they beat me up. But no matter How people react to me. I know that I am doing what is right for me and my family. I am a follower of Christ. |

17 | Tara1 - Is Jesus true or false god? | OT general | Aniset | 108458 | ||
Yes Jehovah’s Witnesses do have a much material to read. Our material is bible based. That means that the foundation of our publications is from the bible. However you are incorrect in saying that we neglect the bible for answers. We take bible reading very seriously. Jehovah’s Witnesses greatly appreciate their Bible study aids, including The Watchtower, and use these regularly. But we know that none of them take the place of the Bible itself. We never forget that the Bible is our Standard and that however God-given our helps may be they are ‘helps’ and not substitutes for the Bible. We carefully examined the Scriptures daily’ to determine the Scriptural basis for what was being taught.—Acts 17:11. Daily Bible reading will help us to “walk worthily of Jehovah to the end of fully pleasing him” instead of allowing the world to squeeze us into its mold.—Colossians 1:9, 10; Romans 12:2. |

Tom, you made many statements in your note to me. I would like to address them one by one. 1) You said “With so much material from Watchtower to read, the one book they neglect for answers is the Bible.” “Every year, with thousands of pages of Watchtower material to read, e.g. lessons, books, magazines, and such, but limited Bible reading assigned”. You were correct in part. Yes Jehovah’s Witnesses do have a much material to read. Our material is bible based. That means that the foundation of our publications is from the bible. However you are incorrect in saying that we neglect the bible for answers. We take bible reading very seriously. Jehovah’s Witnesses greatly appreciate their Bible study aids, including The Watchtower, and use these regularly. But we know that none of them take the place of the Bible itself. We never forget that the Bible is our Standard and that however God-given our helps may be they are ‘helps’ and not substitutes for the Bible. We carefully examined the Scriptures daily’ to determine the Scriptural basis for what was being taught.—Acts 17:11. Daily Bible reading will help us to “walk worthily of Jehovah to the end of fully pleasing him” instead of allowing the world to squeeze us into its mold.—Colossians 1:9, 10; Romans 12:2. 2) You said “Jesus instructed HIS FOLLOWERS in Acts 1:8 “You will be MY WITNESSES … even to the remotest parts of the earth.” “And they were JESUS CHRIST’S witnesses, as stated in Acts 11:26 that the disciples first came to be known as CHRISTians.” That is also correct. That is when the disciples were first called Christians. However, Do you recall Revelation 1:5 “And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness.” Jesus Christ came to bare witness to his father. By bearing witness to the truth, Jesus glorified the name of his heavenly Father. (John 17:4, 6) He laid bare religious falsehoods, preached the good news of the Kingdom, and opened the door to spiritual freedom for those in religious bondage. (Matthew 15:3-9; Luke 4:43; John 18:37). Did you know that we too do this? There are Kingdom Halls of Jehovah’s witnesses in over 230 lands worldwide and in every language. We also show that we are followers of Jesus by doing the work that he sent his disciples to do at Luke 10:1-3. Jesus sent his followers out to the people. From House to house. And that my friend is why Jehovah’s Witnesses go knocking on doors in the rain sleet and snow. We practice loving our neighbors as we do ourselves. We have information from the bible. Not anything that we have made up, heard or assume to be true. Only that which can be proven from the Holy bible. “We must obey God as ruler rather than men.” (Acts 5:29) 3) You said “Speaking of Watchtower. Does that CD ROM have access to old copies of their literature? You know, the ones that PROPHECED things that embarrassed The Society almost into extinction.” Well Tom, yes we do have access to all the old literature. The Watchtower Society does not try and hide their mistakes from us. And your right that was a very embarrassing thing. But let me ask you something Tom, Have you ever made a mistake in your family that may have embarrassed the family and you had to correct it? Well this is also something that had to be corrected. The only way to correct these things is from diligent and thorough study of the scriptures. By doing this we also learned of other things that needed correcting. Did you know that witnesses also use to smoke(Romans 12:1), take blood (Genesis 9:4, Acts 15:20), and wear the cross? (1 Cor. 10:14, 1John 5:21). Because of careful bible study we see that these things should not be done by followers of Christ. 4) you said Jehovah’s Witnesses won’t accept any other bible except NWT. Well that is not true. We use KGV, Today’s English version, NASB and others. We do prefer the NWT because Jehovah’s name put in the proper places. The name Jehovah was in the Original Holy Scriptures over 7000 times. In most newer bibles the name Jehovah is replaced with Lord. This makes it harder for people to understand that there is a difference between Jehovah the father and Jesus the Son. Also notice that most people cannot understand the language in the KGV. This is also why there have been so many different translations published. People have a desire to understand what they read. So before you criticize the New World Translation compare bibles for yourself. It helps us all to understand what we read. |

20 | Types of Fornication(Masturbation) | Matt 15:19 | Aniset | 107244 | ||
Tara1 I got this off of the CD.“This is a general term for all unlawful intercourse, (I) adultery: Hos. ii. 2, 4 (LXX.); Matt. v. 32; xix. 9; (2) unlawful marriage, I Cor. v. I; (3) fornication, the common sense as here [Eph 5:3].” Bauer’s Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament (revised by F. W. Gingrich and F. Danker, 1979, p. 693) defines por·nei´a as “prostitution, unchastity, fornication, of every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse.” Porneia is understood to involve the grossly immoral use of the genital organ(s) of at least one human; also there must have been two or more parties (including another consenting human or a beast), whether of the same sex or the opposite sex. | ||||||
