AGUESTs posts are as long as they need to be.
please don't change your methods because others can't focus.
if you don't explain everything, more questions will arise.
i haven't argued against your posts or questioned the answer because you COMPLEATLY answer the question.
less information = more room for error.
more information = more understanding, less infering.

new questions.
does proverbs chapter 7-9 refer to christ or to the entity "wisdom"?
JW teach that chapter 9 is christ words, but they had to change the bible to make that happen.
NWT in chapter 7 it refers to wisdom as "you are my sister". then it stays in the female persona until chapter 8. then the "wisdom" female persona changes to an "IT". around chapter 8:12 "Wisdom" begins talking. then the JW's claim it's Christ because verses 22-36 "could only be Christ". try reading the passage as if it is talking about "wisdom". it makes very good sense.
other bibles stay in the female persona the whole time.
so the question is, is there a created being called "Wisdom" who has a feminin persona?
the "Book of Enoch" CLEARLY backs this up.
did Christ create everything or did Almighty God?
how did the gospel writers get the information about the temptations of Christ in the wilderness after his baptism? did he tell them? seems like an odd story to tell others...like it's a story that should only be told by someone else who witness the events, not Christ telling his Apostle how he outsmarted the devil and then they wrote it down. it just doesn't flow with christs ways. i could be wrong...
how did Peter know what moses and elijah looked like to be able to identify them at the transfiguration?
what is judas's fate? he killed himself and i think that shows remorse and one of the 12 had to betray, so is he delt mercy at all?
did the human appointment of Matthias have any credit with Christ? does judas get to keep his throne or crown in heaven?
do Angels show themselves to us at all today? are "UFO's" demons or angels or something else?
crop circles? anything important about those?
thanks for your response.
i am listening as closely as i can and i think i might be "getting it". i just didn't understand what to listen for and i didn't believe it was possible before.
i still haven't washed any feet yet. i did re-read the account and i think when i try it, the ones i do it to should be as suprised as the apostles were.
it's just an odd thing to do to your friends in the 2011's. but faithful in least, right!
i noticed the dogs have stopped. much more peaceful now.
talk to you soon.
