541 | Is it mt 26:60-61 happening today? | 1 John 4:2 | Pastor Glenn | 157148 | ||
Hello Deep input, There is a very good video that you can watch for free online: Go to http://www.johnankerberg.org/ and click on the link to watch this week's show. "Jesus, Salvation and the Bible: What do Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses Believe?" There are probably former followers on the show to testify some of the same things that we have told you here. Please check it out. Brother Glenn |

542 | John 8:24- What does this mean to you? | 1 John 4:2 | Pastor Glenn | 157160 | ||
Hello Deep input, I hope that you at least watched the show. Also keep in mind that confusion about which religion is really true is no more excusable than confusion concerning counterfeit money. Just as we are expected to know the key features of our money, we are also warned about false Christs. We are not warned of false Jehovah, mind you, but again, false Christs. I do agree with you concerning unholiness in the church. Having the right religion is not the major factor. However, have the right Christ is the one most crucial factor for salvation. Joh 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. What does this verse mean to you Deep input? Brother Glenn |

543 | John 8:24- What does this mean to you? | 1 John 4:2 | Pastor Glenn | 157165 | ||
Hello Deep input, To cut through your complaints about modern Christianity, versus the Watchtower bible and tract society, please understand that effectively it is as if you are comparing filthy, muddy legal currency to crisp clean counterfeit currency. You are still choosing the counterfeit if you do not have Jesus as God. Even then the Watchtower is not at all clean as you believe. Do you know anything about their founder? His grave site is marked with a pyramid that shows his belief in the occult. You really need to look it up as others have. You wrote: “The Jehovah Witnesses are different from the world and modern day Christianity. The question then becomes, Is the world that modern day christianity is attached to the one that God loves or hates?” To say that there is a world that God hates is a misconception. The world hates God in there fleshly ways. Are you aware that the Jehovah’s witnesses appealed to the pride of the white man just as the KKK and Mormons did? A proud look is at the top of the list of things that God hates. The 144,000 were said by them to be white men only. Not even white women were to be included. On the show, the former Jehovah’s Witnesses pointed out scripture that proves that Jesus Christ is in fact Jehovah God: Zec 11:12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. They indicated that “my price” is Jehovah talking here. Also look at the next chapter: Zec 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. Notice how it says “…they shall look upon me whom they have pierced…”. They said that this is examples of many scriptures that every Jehovah’s witness should know. 2Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

544 | How do you find the Lord?? | 1 John 4:7 | Pastor Glenn | 86587 | ||
Redbone, You repent of your sins and ask Jesus Christ into you heart. Then confess Christ with your mouth. Be baptised as part of your public confession in obedience to Christs command. Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. You will know that you have found Him if you have love for others. He will change you from the inside out. 1Jo 3:14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 1Jo 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 1Jo 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1Jo 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 1Jo 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 1Jo 3:19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 1Jo 3:20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 1Jo 3:21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. 1Jo 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 1Jo 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 1Jo 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. Hope this helps, Pastor Glenn |

545 | Where did evil come from? | 1 John 5:19 | Pastor Glenn | 110812 | ||
wordsmith1970, I wanted to add to the excellent answers that you have already recieved. This is a good question that has been delt with many times on this forum. God could have chosen to make angels and man without choice, but then we would not be able to make any decisions. We would be robots that follow strict preprogrammed instructions. Man has made space vehicles with a small amount of decision making capability. The probes sent to Mars are examples of this. Since remote control is too slow (it takes about 10 minutes for the radio signals to reach Mars) NASA has provided them with programming that allows them to roam the surface and navigate around obstacles. I think that we can learn the importance of free will by looking at our own creations in this way. We will always feel an emptiness until we turn and begin to fulfill our purpose for our existance. Please read the book of Ecclesiastes to learn of the vanity of life. Here is how the book ends: Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Ecc 12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. Pastor Glenn |

546 | Does Islam fit? | 2 John 1:7 | Pastor Glenn | 129223 | ||
mommapbs, I wanted to add a bit by pointing out the way that the Koran (or is it "Coran"?) recognizes the prophets of the bible and attempts to build on their teachings after "rewriting" lies into them. I had a muslim co-worker that I tried to witness to a few times after getting very much aquinted. This led to my reading up from the Koran from the public library. Want to know what I found in it? The Koran rewrites the story of Abraham offering up Ishmael instead of Isaac, thereby making Egyptians children of the "promise" to make Mohommed greater than Jesus Christ. This shows how important it is to point out the truth of how the Jews are God's chosen people. Also how important it is to point out God's identification of Himself as the "God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob". How all of the new and old testament prophets were Jews. So why does Islam hate Jews? Why does the Koran teach hate towards Jews? Why do they thow out the bible and replace it with the Koran? The bible builds one book on top of the other using historical facts and predictions of future events that have been fulfilled time after time. When the new testament was written, sciptures from the old testament were properly used to build on, like Isaiah 53. The problem with Islam is that it shows the same likes and dislikes of an angry fellow we see in Rev 12. Also, Jesus taught of building on a rock. The scriptures teach of the "Stone" that the builders refused is become the head of the corner. The Chief cornerstone. Psalm 118:22 The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. Matthew 21:42 Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the Scriptures: "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. This was the LORD's doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes'? Mark 12:10 Have you not even read this Scripture: "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. Luke 20:17 Then He looked at them and said, "What then is this that is written: "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone'? Acts 4:11 This is the "stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.' 1 Peter 2:7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone," Yes, Islam is antichrist to the fullest extent. They do not build on anything but lies. Yes we should speak out against all sin even as John the Baptist did and was beheaded. So we must consider our loved ones when they "shack up" instead of getting married, or seek wholesale devorce, or get drunken, or curse, or lie or steal while still calling themselves "Christian" even within our churches. We owe it to them to speak out with gentleness and love. Any comments? Pastor Glenn |

Searcher, I just reviewed the terms of use: http://www.studybibleforum.com/termsreview.php It is a huge stretch to call this breaking the rules of the forum. I don't know if you or someone else put in a complaint to get this thread restricted. It is very disturbing and heartless when Terry's life is at stake. Nothing is for sale. The petition is NOT posted on this site. I hope that a good number of loving members got the information before it was lovelessly removed. How slow they are to complain about sick, carnal, unbiblical threads that are allowed to go on for weeks. But a thread with noble Christian action cause is deemed as breaking the rules? 1 John 4 7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 1 Cor 13 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned,[a] but have not love, it profits me nothing. 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

551 | could this scripture be related? Zech3:1 | Jude 1:9 | Pastor Glenn | 64458 | ||
EdB, You are right about the danger of them idolizing his tomb. They had, after all, idolized the bronze serpent that God had Moses to set up. By the way, could this scripture be related? Zechariah 3 1 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to oppose him. 2And the LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?" It just sounds very simular to Jude 1:9. Pastor Glenn |

552 | could this scripture be related? Zech3:1 | Jude 1:9 | Pastor Glenn | 64480 | ||
Johnny, This is not generally known: 2 Kings 18:4 He removed the high places and broke the sacred pillars, cut down the wooden image[18:4 Hebrew [Asherah, ] a Canaanite goddess] and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for until those days the children of Israel burned incense to it, and called it Nehushtan.[ Literally [Bronze Thing] ] At a later time, they had turned what God used for deliverence into an idol. I was surprised to learn of this a few years ago in Sunday School lesson study. Pastor Glenn |

553 | could this scripture be related? Zech3:1 | Jude 1:9 | Pastor Glenn | 64513 | ||
EdB, After reading the scripture you gave from 2 Pet 2:10-14, I read the rest of the chapter. Verse 22 really stands out: 22But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: "A dog returns to his own vomit,"[Proverbs 26:11] and, "a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire." A Christian should really detest the idea of slipping back into sin after reading that. Pastor Glenn |

554 | KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS? | Rev 1:1 | Pastor Glenn | 94631 | ||
Truthfinder, You said: "All through the Greek scriptures, a clear distinction between "God" and "Jesus" is made." But, what is the implications of these scriptures in relation to our "salvation" and Christ being "Lord"?: 1 Corinthians 12:3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 1:2 To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ–their Lord and ours: Mat 22 41While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42"What do you think about the Christ[4] ? Whose son is he?" "The son of David," they replied. 43He said to them, "How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him 'Lord'? For he says, 44" 'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet." '[5] 45If then David calls him 'Lord,' how can he be his son?" Revelation 11:15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms[11:15 NU-Text and M-Text read [kingdom ... has become.] ] of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!" Revelation 17:14 They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings–and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers." Revelation 19:16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. But wait one minute, 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 |

555 | 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 |

556 | 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 |

557 | KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS? | Rev 1:1 | Pastor Glenn | 94817 | ||
Hank, I also noticed those kinds of important errors. The scariest part is the danger of blaspheme against the Holy Spirit! But to stay focused, I hope that Truthfinder realizes that the name of Jesus is all important to salvation. Even if he is right about the use of "Jehovah" over "LORD", it is a moot point. He must deal with Jesus, there is no way around Him: John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. God Bless you Sir, Pastor Glenn |

558 | Jesus is wisdom argument leads nowhere. | Rev 3:14 | Pastor Glenn | 96633 | ||
Truthfinder, The Jesus is wisdom argument leads nowhere. Quoting from Radioman2's post: "...This passage is speaking of Wisdom, and for those who teach this is Jesus the evidence is not there. Another point is that the Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus was God's first creation and therefore believe this to be speaking of Jesus and like to use different Bible Versions that would indicate that this Wisdom was created...." By this strange reasoning, God was not really "God" until after He "created" wisdom. How could He have been God before He had wisdom. Can you see that this Jehovah's Witness argument is both anti-Jehovah, as well as, anti-Christ? Maybe by reading somewhere between the lines of the NWT it is written: "Duh..., well I think I will create wisdom"? :o( Pastor Glenn |
||||||
559 | Jesus is wisdom argument leads nowhere. | Rev 3:14 | Pastor Glenn | 96874 | ||
Truthfinder, I am glad that you realize that God had wisdom throughout all eternity. But, would God say things like: Matthew 4:10b ... "You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve."'[ Deuteronomy 6:13] and then throw in "His junior partner"? Is He trying to confuse us? The answer is no. We can serve Jesus because He is also God. Notice that without recognizing Christ's full deity, you can not worship Jesus, you can not really honor Jesus fully, you cannot fully respect Him for who He is. I challenge you now to show me one scripture that warns us not to worship Christ, or to honour Him, or show Him too much respect. Deuteronomy 6:13 cannot be used since Heb 1 shows even the angels must worship Him. By your theology it seems that any angels could have stepped in and died for our sins. But what angel would have had power to get back up from the dead as Christ did by His own power? John 10 17"Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. 18No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father." 19Therefore there was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings. |

560 | Jesus is wisdom argument leads nowhere. | Rev 3:14 | Pastor Glenn | 96882 | ||
Is 45 5I am the LORD, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me. I will gird you, though you have not known Me, 6That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting That there is none besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other; 7I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things.' 8"Rain down, you heavens, from above, And let the skies pour down righteousness; Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation, And let righteousness spring up together. I, the LORD, have created it. 9"Woe to him who strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him who forms it, "What are you making?' Or shall your handiwork say, "He has no hands'? 10Woe to him who says to his father, "What are you begetting?' Or to the woman, "What have you brought forth?"' 11Thus says the LORD, The Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: "Ask Me of things to come concerning My sons; And concerning the work of My hands, you command Me. 12I have made the earth, And created man on it. I--My hands--stretched out the heavens, And all their host I have commanded. 13I have raised him up in righteousness, And I will direct all his ways; He shall build My city And let My exiles go free, Not for price nor reward," Says the LORD of hosts. The LORD, the Only Savior 14 Thus says the LORD: "The labor of Egypt and merchandise of Cush And of the Sabeans, men of stature, Shall come over to you, and they shall be yours; They shall walk behind you, They shall come over in chains; And they shall bow down to you. They will make supplication to you, saying, "Surely God is in you, And there is no other; There is no other God."' 15Truly You are God, who hide Yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior! 16They shall be ashamed And also disgraced, all of them; They shall go in confusion together, Who are makers of idols. 17But Israel shall be saved by the LORD With an everlasting salvation; You shall not be ashamed or disgraced Forever and ever. 18For thus says the LORD, Who created the heavens, Who is God, Who formed the earth and made it, Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain, Who formed it to be inhabited: "I am the LORD, and there is no other. We see the Lord Jesus throughout scripture. Why can't others see? Praise the Lord Jesus! |
