141 | KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS? | Rev 1:1 | Pastor Glenn | 94811 | ||
Truthfinder, You said: "And Heb. 1:8-12 reads, NWT, ” 8 But with reference to the Son: “God is your throne forever And Psalm 102:25 reads, NWT, 25 Long ago you laid the foundations of the earth itself, And the heavens are the work of your hands. Here the psalmist was talking about Jehovah God, but the apostle Paul applied these words to Jesus Christ as you say in Hebrews 1:10, 11 As it turns out, these words apply to Jesus, for he acted as Jehovah’s Agent in creating the universe just as Colossians 1:15, 16 tells us. So Jesus, too, could be said to have “laid the foundations of the earth.” Yes, all three were involved in creating the universe and man. (Let us..), God’s active force or holy, God’s Son and he himself. Truthfinder" But now you say "When you write something without any proof, I call it assertion. I have no problem with asserting per se. Now I do have a problem with you asserting that the person the Father Jehovah, is one and the same as the person Son Jesus." So Truthfinder, what part of your statement are you now taking back? Exodus 6:3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name LORD[6:3 Hebrew [YHWH, ] traditionally [Jehovah] ] I was not known to them. Exodus 3:15 Moreover God said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: "The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations.' Whether "Jehovah" is the Father's personal name or a title for the Godhead or for the person of Jesus (the Word) is for you to ponder. The bottom line is that as for the name Jesus Christ: Acts 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." Again, notice that David called Christ Lord and also Rev 19:16 calls Him "LORD OF LORDS". What are the implications? What is the significance? Pastor Glenn |

142 | better for him if a millstone were hung? | Mark 9:39 | Pastor Glenn | 94689 | ||
EdB, Any group that denies the deity of Christ obviously has Jesus Christ wrong. I feel that there are indeed bad teaching with many in the WOF movement, but to say they have a different Christ is very questionable. Now before you fly off the handle as you have so many times before, please pay closer attention to what people actually say. I have been looking for where Gracefull actually said that Jesus was "tortured by Satan". Copeland said it, but Gracefull merely said that He suffered in hell. Well, is that really enough to accuse her of having another Jesus? Also consider this scripture before you decide to weed out the tares: Mat 13 The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares 24 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27So the servants of the owner came and said to him, "Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?' 28He said to them, "An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, "Do you want us then to go and gather them up?' 29But he said, "No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.""'

143 | KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS? | Rev 1:1 | Pastor Glenn | 94643 | ||
Lucantonio, I just looked up your history on this forum. It appears that you only make 1 post every 9 months. :o) Rev 19:16 uses Kurios kurios; from kuros (authority); lord, master:-- I maintain that while the Son is not the same "person" as the Father, Jesus Christ (the Son) is Yhvh (i.e.Yehovah). You need to go to post ID 88403 and read what we have already discussed before we continue. Will you require 9 more months? ;-) Pastor Glenn |

144 | Sola Scriptura-A False teaching | 2 Tim 3:16 | Pastor Glenn | 94495 | ||
gbennett76, You said: "...I believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth...." However, oral tradition was attacked by Jesus: Mark 7 3For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands in a special way, holding the tradition of the elders. 4When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other things which they have received and hold, like the washing of cups, pitchers, copper vessels, and couches. 5Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?" 6He answered and said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: "This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. 7And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'[2] 8For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men[3] --the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do." 9He said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. 10For Moses said, "Honor your father and your mother';[4] and, "He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.'[5] 11But you say, "If a man says to his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban"--' (that is, a gift to God), 12then you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother, 13making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do." Jesus and the apostles gave us the example of how scripture must be interpreted in light of scripture. Also, it is clear that the New Testament is built on the Old Testament: Luke 24:32 And they said to one another, "Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?" Luke 24:44 Then He said to them, "These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me." Luke 24:45 And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures. Acts 8:32 The place in the Scripture which he read was this: "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before its shearer is silent, So He opened not His mouth. Acts 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him. Pastor Glenn |

145 | Sola Scriptura-A False teaching | 2 Tim 3:16 | Pastor Glenn | 94492 | ||
gbennett76, You said, "A Little Mormon Thought... ..." A little Mormonism, A dash of secular humanism, a cup of gnosticism, 2 teaspoons of homosexualism, top it all off with sexual immorality. Shake well, and what do you get: 1 Cor 6 9Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,[1] nor sodomites, 10nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. We stand by the belief in the authority of scripture. It is also a rule for every post on this forum. I hope that others now understand why this is a rule. They that stand for nothing will fall for anything.

146 | Sola Scriptura-A False teaching | 2 Tim 3:16 | Pastor Glenn | 94476 | ||
gbenntt76, You said: "These are oral traditions of the early gnostic church." You must realize that Apostle Paul never conveyed any "oral traditions" to anyone. He taught scripture and eyewitness accounts of the ressurection of Christ. So for you to grab onto all of this "oral traditions of the early gnostic church" just goes to show your lack of a foundation in Christ. Ephesians 4:14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, Pastor Glenn |

147 | Authority of the bible in question? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Pastor Glenn | 94415 | ||
I understand what you were saying EdB. But, it is sad that this person has yet to acknowledge the authority of scripture. Gbennett76 posts strawman arguments without telling his sources. That argument falsely says that we have only two scriptures on which to base sola scriptura, but I like what Jesus said: Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. John 5:39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. 46For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. 47But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?" God Bless, Pastor Glenn |

EdB, gbennett76 said this: "Christians are free to wear tattoos, eat shrimp, pork or rare meat, wear polyester-cotton blends, seed their lawns with a grass mixture, and get their hair cut. But homosexuality is somehow taboo. " (ID 92988) Beware of sheep's clothing EdB, some posts belong elsewhere, not on this studybibleforum. Pastor Glenn |

149 | How is Adam "Ancient of Days"? | Dan 7:9 | Pastor Glenn | 93824 | ||
gbennett76, You should post your source of information. My source is the bible: Psalm 24 1 The earth is the LORD's, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. God does not need a fallen man to hand over anything to Him. It is already His. "God's plan demanded that Adam eat that fruit. That is why He prepared a Saviour "before the foundation of the world" (1 Peter 1:20). Adam did what God intended, and will be blessed for it." If I could see the future and see that my son will fall out of my boat, I would be sure to prepare a life line to pull him in. But just because I prepared for the worst, boes not at all imply that I planned the worst. "Ever since the Arian controversy died down, the major creeds have said that God the Father and Jesus Christ are the same person. So if the Ancient of Days is the Father, then the major creeds are wrong. Thus they have only a shallow understanding of the nature of the Father and the Son, and thus their interpretation of unusual passages like this is so flawed as to be worthless. " This is a straw man argument. The creeds say that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Sirit are not the same person. The are one God, but are eternally distinct. "Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;..." (Gen 1:26a) indicates more than one person, while also only one God. Rev 4 9Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: 11"You are worthy, O Lord,[7] To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist[8] and were created." Rev 20 11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. |

150 | Did Adam and Eve go to heaven? | Gen 2:1 | Pastor Glenn | 93810 | ||
Gen 3 17Then to Adam He said, "Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, "You shall not eat of it': "Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life. It always better to obey God rather than man or woman. |

151 | Did Adam and Eve go to heaven? | Gen 2:1 | Pastor Glenn | 93799 | ||
gbennett76, You said, "...Eve yielded to the temptation and ate the fruit. When Adam learned what had happened, he wisely chose to partake also therefore being able to obey the command to multiply...." Why do you feel that they could not multiply until they disobeyed God? Please show some scripture to support your statment that this was a wise choice. Pastor Glenn |

152 | What was Jesus doing in the earth 3 days | Matthew | Pastor Glenn | 93697 | ||
Truthfinder, Sorry, but I got that impression from the body of your post as it speaks of "...the nephesh ... for it does not continue to exist independently of the body, but dies with it...". Since these kinds of references were used to support your conclusion that Jesus did nothing for three days, I figured that you were implying that Jesus ceased to exist for three days. Pastor Glenn |

153 | "Who ONCE were disobedient" is about? | Matthew | Pastor Glenn | 93623 | ||
May God bless you Grandpa Hank! God said be fruitful and multiply. Well, it seems that grandchildren brings us to the real "multiplying" stage. Three children can produce 9 grandchildren real fast. My wife and I have 9 children, that means... Oh my! Pastor Glenn |

154 | What was Jesus doing in the earth 3 days | Matthew | Pastor Glenn | 93618 | ||
Truthfinder, You referenced: “it is natural that death should sometimes be represented as the disappearance of this nephesh (Gen. 35:18; I Kings 17:21; Jer. 15:9; Jonah 4:3). The ‘departure’ of the nephesh must be viewed as a figure of speech, for it does not continue to exist independently of the body, but dies with it (Num. 31:19; Judg. 16:30; Ezek. 13:19). No biblical text authorizes the statement that the ‘soul’ is separated from the body at the moment of death.”—The Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible, edited by G. Buttrick, 1962, Vol. 1, p. 802. But, your reference should have started with these scriptures: Matthew 22:32 "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?[22:32 Exodus 3:6, 15] God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." Mark 12 26But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?[Exodus 3:6, 15] 27He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly mistaken." Heb 11 4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks. Luke 8:55 Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat. Psalm 146:4 His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; In that very day his plans perish. Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it. As for Jesus Christ: John 8:58 "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" John 10 17The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life--only to take it up again. 18No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father." Truthfinder, I am sure that you do not deny that Jesus existed before His incarnation. So, why would His spirit cease to exist after His physical death? |

155 | Is sexual immorality OK? | Rom 1:27 | Pastor Glenn | 93085 | ||
gbennett76, You asked, "are you against blood transfusions.. do you personally know how your meat is slaughtered.. do you eat kosher only? " Personally, becuase of scriptures like this, I try to eat kosher only. But not strictly, because of scriptures like this: 1 Timothy 4 1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, 3forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; 5for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. "And so again I ask .....“We have been unable to find any logical explanation that would justify conservative Christians concentrating so much on these two laws against homosexuality while abandoning most of the rest. “ Again, homosexuallity is one of the worst forms of "sexual immorality". Aside from being an abomination, it is unnatural and physically very harmful. Homosexuals die much younger than the average person. You still have not answered my questions about why you feel that homosexuals can be a Christian and still remain homosexual? Please use scripture to support your answer. Also, by the way, do you believe in the authority of scripture? Pastor Glenn |

Now Hank, You said, "I've found that the way these cultists deal with issues they don't understand and don't have pat answers for is by changing the subject or walking away with a dazed look on their faces." To be fair, you really have got to give them until the following week. How are they expected to deal with issues unless it comes out in the next weeks issue of the Watchtower or Awake magazines?

journey_me, Please notice that my last question was not exactly the negative of your question. I purposely threw in "...any indication in scripture ...". "Outside" of scripture there is His creation itself that declares His handywork: Rom 1 20For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, |

Thanks again New Creature! This just goes as furthur proof that even the Watchtower and Tract Society have not fully considered the implications of the name of "Jesus Christ" to His Deity. They try to make Him out to be some angelic "agent" standing in for God. Well, an agent can be bypassed. It is clear that even in the NWT, Jesus Christ cannot be bypassed: Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is not another name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved. (Acts 4:12 NWT) He that exercises faith in him is not to be judged. He that does not exercise faith has been judged already, because he has not exercised faith in the name of the only-begotten Son of God. (John 3:18 NWT) |
