  Is Death ever Spiritual and not Physical?

  by jwblog in

  i ask this one question, what is the meaning of the first death and the second death as spoken of in revelations?

  if jesus kills off those in the heavens with a two edged sword then why is it satan still lives for one thousand years during the reign of jesus christ?

  what does it mean to be "born again"?

  Since the Bible says that on Judgment Day, which follows the millennium and is not during it, would be of those both righteous and unrighteous, we presume that those killed at Armgeddon wiill return on Judgment Day. In that case, no one technically undergoes the "second death" to Hades until Judmgent Day. All those killed before Judgment Day are in Hades, the common grave, which means they are coming back.

  As far as "spiritual death" goes. A spiritual death is presumed for the prodigal son while he was away from his father's house and living a life of sin:

  Hello JC,

  During the Millenium satan is in prison and not allowed to mislead the nations. Judgment Day is when Jesus Christ returns correct? The second death has no resurrection whereas the first death does. Which man upon the earth will not repent once they see Jesus Christ arrive in all of his glory? Which missiles will they choose to use against the son of God?

  It missed that God sent latter-day saints to North America. Who wrote the book of Mormon? surely not a man! Impossible! How would man even know North America is here after all!
  It missed that God had another prophet named Mohammed. Who wrote the Koran? surely not man! Impossible! How could a man write the Koran? Especially with all the crazy language and right to left orientation of text. Nuts, no man could ever master that! It failed to predict this astonishingly witty yet mocking post! Who wrote this post? surely not a man! how could a man's logic be so stinging?

  The name Joseph Smith is not found in the Holy Bible, The Word of God. The name Muhammad is not found in the Holy Bible, The Word of God. The holy bible provides cross references many years apart and many of the actuall locations written in the bible are true.......The laws of Moses are found in the hebrew scriptures, the two tribes migrated from the east are which of the twelve tribes? All peoples, nations, and tongues originated in the garden of eden.

  Why is it necessary to predict what you wrote? You are not a prophet are you?

  Never judge by the outward appearance holds true in this case. It all depends on the person. Written word can cause confusion so if you derive the wrong meaning from what you read perhaps you are not a good listener. Or were the words written unclear? A good listener will ask the true meaning until the true meaning is agreed upon by the one putting forth the words and the one reading them. Now body language can also cause confusion. If you say something hurtful it might cause a disgruntled expression upon the person the words were intended for. If the person listening misunderstood the words they could have become disgruntled for no reason.

  A good listener will seek out the true meaning of the words written or spoken until they make sense and is understood to both parties.

  Put me to the test, I am a good listener, better than average.......

  So who really is the "son of man"? Who really is the faithful and discreet slave? Why does the faithful and discreet slave receive from Christ all that was bestowed to Christ upon his Fathers approval?

If Jesus kills off those in the heavens with a two edged sword then why is it satan still lives for one thousand years during the reign of Jesus Christ? What does it mean to be "Born Again"? You cannot be put back into the womb therefore it must have a spiritual meaning?

  Is it possible that all those faiths that teach heaven and hell, along with those that teach that God and Jesus are coming to destroy all the wicked are wrong in their way of thinking?

  Jesus is a savior correct? The Good News of the Kingdom is that all will have a chance at everlasting life does it not?

  What are your thoughts?

  I have a simple question. If there is no God who then wrote the bible? Man who does not know how to adhere to the teachings perfectly? Did a man (or women) write the words in the bible from experience to pass on to their offspring? Who would have imagined that everything man did on the earth would cause such havock as predicted in the bible? Who would have thought that many floods, food shortages, earthquakes, pestilence just to name a few would have taken place like it said it would in a book? The bible is a book of prophecy and a mere mortal man could not have written it. Does this not hold true?

  "I have very many that I truly love"----- you forgot to add, 'who only love me as long as I believe exactly as they do, otherwise I am expendable and disposable like a used keenex'.

  You know this is a very valid point. They do have to uphold to the shunning of disbelievers. I could say perhaps a few would still love me however I have never had the chance to put it to the test. Thank you.

  I dont have family in anymore, I am just sick of hiding when the damn door rings. I have alot of other issues to deal with and have even broken down and went to therapy even though I am strongly opposed. Alot of issues with jws have come up with the sessions. My elder ex molested our daughter! I hate these people and dont want to even speak with them in fear that I will get very angry and will not control myself.

  Hi there, if you choose not to follow the beliefs of the W.T.S. simply tell them you are no longer interested. I understand how you can hate a person that has wronged your family. However an entire group of people cannot be held responsible for the acts of one. There are many very loving brothers and sisters within the faith. I know this because I have very many that I truly love. A brother or sister in faith is one that adheres to the teachings of Christ therefore christian. Do not associate with those that cause you or your family harm. Again, simply tell them you a not interested, ask them not to return and leave it at that. Do not allow anothers acts bring you down. Have a great evening.......

  A STUNNINGLY simple question about JOHN 3:16 "For God so Loved the world."

  by Terry in

  on what basis did god so love the world?.

  the world of mankind had been condemned to death by god's curse in eden!.

  god viewed mankind as "dust on the scales".

  The sun rises in the morning for the good and for the wicked. The rain falls upon the earth for the good and for the wicked. Good and bad have been allowed to walk side by side for a period of time until The Almighty takes control and the son reigns as king.

  Jesus was born with out sin because he had the laws of his Father with him. Adam had God with him in the beginning, chose to break the law therefore became a sinner. It must mean sin is without law. That would explain how an innocent child is born a sinner, becuase he is born without the laws of the Father.

  The spirit creation in the heavens chose to rebel, men upon the earth chose wickedness. Without law there exists disorder. If disorder prevails the Almighty God has to uphold the law through discipline. We as human have lost loved one in death. It was loving of the Almighty to offer his son up as a ransom and also loving of Christ to accept his path. The greatest of love is when one is willing to offer their life up on behalf of another.

  GOD gave us life and the opportunity for everlasting life, is this not love?

  Why do they call it "The Truth" ?

  by jwblog in

  2. friends

  if the "truth" keeps changing shouldn't they call it "in search of the truth"?

  an orange is always an orange, and apple always an apple they do not change.

  so how is it "truth" can change?

  How is it the faithful and discreet slave do not "all" take part in providing food at the proper time? How can only a portion of them provide food yet all be labled as the "faithful and discreet slave"?

  Where does it even say that the faithful and discreet slave dies after Jesus Christ arrives?

  Just a few questions about the so called "truth".
