And Psalms 37:10
10 And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more;
And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be.
If the paradise was only in heaven, would there be wicked ones up there in the first place?
I said the Apostles in the New Testement NEVER preached it. Dont you think that if the majority of people as the WTS claims have an earthly hope, that something that BIG would be mentioned in the NT. But its NOT. NOT one time. Think about that.
I never saw Jehovah's name neither in the NT, but I believe that Jesus isn't God almighty.
OK, the NT
7 Now as soon as the thousand years have been ended, Satan will be let loose out of his prison, 8 and he will go out to mislead those nations in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Ma´gog, to gather them together for the war.
So, there it's on earth.
The JW's get their arguments all confused, since they pull any shred of anything that seems to support their position into the fray. Your paradise question is a theological one, isn't it? You're not asking "is there a god, and will he give us a paradise?" You're asking, "Assuming there's a god, and that he authored the Bible, does he intend to give us a paradise?"
Those are two entirely different questions, and you're getting answers to both because the JW's mix-n-match evidence.
Are human bodies ready to live forever, save for some small defect introduced by god? Biologically, no. Theologically, depends on which theologian you talk to. :-)

Thats correct. The tetragramaton is nowhere to be found in the original greek text. Yet the WTS inserts it everywhere in the NT. WHY????? The WTS has a hard time with a few scrips that blow a hole in the earthly paradise gig. According to the Tower everyone up till Jesus death will have the earthly hope. Then how do you explain Mt 8:11 and Heb chapter 11???
“‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. 10 Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.
So, I'm sure the kingdom will also be on earth.
Then how do you explain Mt 8:11
I can't
I still believe. End of story.
Those talks are great huh? I remember this one brother who spoke about how the days,planets and months would have to be renamed because they were named after false gods and kings of the pass (August, July, January). He also mentioned that countries might also be renamed. and how if God dried up some of the water, we'd have even more space.
