Revelation 13:4 … At the same time, the Great War (World War I), as it was then called, opened the way for the United States to emerge distinctly as part of the Anglo-American World Power. For the first years of the war, public opinion keep the United States out of the conflict. But as historian Esme Wingfield-Stratford wrote; “it was all a question of whether, at this hour of supreme crisis, Britain and the United States would sink their differences in the realization of (their) overmastering unity and common trusteeship.” As events turned out, they did. In 1917, the United States contributed her resources and manpower to bolster the war effort of the staggering Allies. Thus, the seventh head, combining Britain and the United States, came out on the winning side. The world after the war was vastly different. Satan’s earthly system, although devastated by the death stroke, revived and became more powerful than ever and so won the admiration of humans because of its recuperative power. Historian Charles L. Mee, Jr., writes; “The collapse of the old order (caused by the first world war) was a necessary prelude to the spread of self-rule, the liberation of new nations and classes, the release of new freedom and independence.” Leading in the development of this postwar era was the seventh head of the wild beast, now healed, and with the United States of America moving into the dominant role. The dual world power took the lead in advocating both the League of Nations and the United Nations. By the year 2005, U.S. political power had led the more privileged nations in creating a higher standard of living, in fighting disease, and in advancing technology. It had even placed men on the moon. It is no wonder, therefore, that mankind in general has “followed the wild beast with admiration.” Mankind has even gone beyond admiring the wild beast, as John next states: “And they worshipped the dragon because it gave the authority to the wild beast, and they worshipped the wild beast with the words: ‘Who is like the wild beast, and who can do battle with it?’” (Revelation 13:4) While Jesus was here on earth, Satan claimed to have authority over all the kingdoms of the earth. Jesus did not dispute this; in fact, he himself referred to Satan as the ruler of the world and refused to participate in the politics of that day. John later wrote of true Christians: “We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.” (1 John 5:19; Luke 4:5-8; John 6:15; 14:30) Satan delegates power to the wild beast, and he does this on a nationalistic basis. Thus, instead of being united in bonds of goodly love, mankind has become divided by pride of tribe, race, and nation. The great majority of people worship, in effect, that part of the wild beast having authority in the land where they happen to live. Thus the whole beast gains admiration and worship. In what sense? In the sense of putting love of country ahead of love of God. Most people love the land of their birth. As good citizens, true Christians also respect the rulers and the emblems of the country where they reside, obey the laws, and make a positive contribution to the welfare of their community and their neighbors. (Romans 13:1-7; 1 Peter 2:13-17) They cannot, however, give blind devotion to one country as against all others. “Our country, right or wrong,” is not a Christian teaching. So Christians who worship Jehovah God cannot share in giving prideful patriotic worship to any part of the wild beast, for this would amount to worshipping the dragon – the source of authority of the beast. They cannot ask admiringly: “Who is like the wild beast?” Rather, they follow the example of Michael – his name meaning “Who Is Like God?” – as they uphold Jehovah’s universal sovereignty. At God’s appointed time, Christ Jesus will do battle with the wild beast and conquer it, even as he triumphed in expelling Satan from heaven. – Revelation 12:7-9; 19:11, 19:21. ....

That's a lie. He is the ruler of this age (aion), not of the world. THe world belongs to God. Acts 17:24 "The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; The rest, I wont bother with.

Satan is bound...his only power now is to deceive [Rev. 20:7-10] which he's doing a pretty good job of. Mat 12:28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. Mat 12:29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. Mat 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. http://www.blueletterbible.org/B...?b=Mat&c=12&v=29&t=KJV#29 Rapture & Premillennialism Refuted.....Satan bound by Jesus 2000 years ago! www.bible.ca/pre-rev20-satan-bound.htm ...been meaning to say something about that premillennialism stuff.....it's worse than the rapture hoax to keep Christian America down, and Judeo-"British-Israel" [ http://www.asis.com/users/stag/royalty.html / http://www.asis.com/users/stag/uspres.html ] with its grubby paws around our neck. We are living in Christ's kingdom NOW....there is no "1,000 year reign [reich]" for the Judeo-Brits to rule over us. [There were only 400 years of captivity spelled out in Genesis 15:13-14/Gal. 3:16-29]. The scepter [right to rule] passed to Christ [Lion of the tribe of Judah] on His first arrival. It was even spelled out in the sky: www.freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=77119 Someone was kind enough to send me a link to Chapter 3 of the Union Jack.... [ http://www.congregator.net/topical/union-jack-chapter-3.htm ]. It spells out the great deception, and conspiracy against America [Psalm 2]....my only complaint is that Jesus didn't just say "My kingdom is not of this world." What He actually said is "My kingdom is not NOW of this "world" ["kosmos" - constitution, government, ORDER of things] ....speaking BEFORE His crucifixion and resurrection....and speaking in the place where it was told the Jews: The kingdom will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits thereof....let no fruit grow on thee FOREVER. That nation/kingdom, which everybody likes to hate, is America [that does not include Britain's partner-in-crime, the US Government; Ezekiel 17:7-10]. Jesus is the KING of ISRAEL, the nation that was founded in His name with a cross, and a dedication to spreading the gospel. That is all contrary to the wishes of the City of London, because the truth would make us free, and they don't want us to be free. They like having us as slaves, slurping the fruits of our labors, and having us fight their wars of conquest. They have raised up the staff against us, after the manner of Egypt, to keep us enslaved. I keep wondering when God is going to raise up that scourge against them, like He has promised. Maybe when Christians turn back to Him, and not to the one who is smiting them. The US is still a [Judeo] British Colony, extorting taxes for "The Crown": "...When Cornwallis surrendered to Washington he surrendered the battle, not the war. Read the Article of Capitulation signed by Cornwallis at Yorktown (footnote 3) Jonathan Williams recorded in his book, Legions of Satan, 1781, that Cornwallis revealed to Washington during his surrender that "a holy war will now begin on America, and when it is ended America will be supposedly the citadel of freedom, but her millions will unknowingly be loyal subjects to the Crown."...."in less than two hundred years the whole nation will be working for divine world government. That government that they believe to be divine will be the British Empire." All the Treaty did was remove the United States as a liability and obligation of the king. He no longer had to ship material and money to support his subjects and colonies. At the same time he retained financial subjection through debt owed after the Treaty, which is still being created today; millions of dollars a day. And his heirs and successors are still reaping the benefit of the kings original venture. ....." http://www.civil-liberties.com/books/colony2.html /Genesis 15:13-14/Galatians 3:16....29 Without addressing the rest of your article: At God’s appointed time, Christ Jesus will do battle with the wild beast and conquer it, even as he triumphed in expelling Satan from heaven.

I tend towards agreement here for sure !!!

Law Enforcement Against Prohibition RUN SILENT, RUN DEEP Please be careful as to who you are calling a liar; “The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one,” says the apostle John. (1 John 5:19) There is a reason that Jesus Christ did not partake of politics, and that reason is the Jehovah God is permitting man to learn what happens when we do not live according to His Word. I do understand that you are very confused on this issue, but you still need to be careful with your choices of words. When you make such statements, you show no fruitage of the spirit. “The fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control.”—Gal. 5:22, 23, NW.
Daniel 2:44 “And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite;.
And did someone twist your arm to read the post? If not, perhaps you should take some sage advice ... from the Bible which you so obviously scorn; “The fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control.”—Gal. 5:22, 23, NW. You should also carefully read what you posted as a reply, rather than depending on what others have told you about it.
Daniel 2:44 “And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite;.
Uh, I know you do not like to read, but that is what is pointed out in the post. As to the other, Satan was not bound 2,000 years ago, and to say so ignores what the world has become, and what is happening to the world today. You are claiming that Jesus Christ rules over, and permits, all of the wars of today?! Amazing. And, amazing how little you and yours understand Revelation. Which, I might add, was written sometime in the 90s C.E. Well after the death of Jesus Christ. “The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one,” says the apostle John. (1 John 5:19)
Daniel 2:44 “And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite;.
I am calling the author a liar. It is quite deliberate. “The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one,” does not mean that satan owns the world. It means he controls it only to the degree that GOd allows. He cannot act without Gods' permission. The book of Job, for example. When you make such statements, you show no fruitage of the spirit. Fruitage? I just call a spade a spade. The person that wrote that should have known better. But he comes across with great authority to try and make himself look like he knows what he is talking about. Just like the other wolves do, he makes assertions without backing them up. “The fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control.”—Gal. 5:22, 23, NW. I see nothing about tolerating lies or liars in there. Using your standards, Christ should have hugged the moneychangers instead of beating them with cords.

Perhaps you should take your own advice, and be more careful as to what you say, until you read something completely, and understand what you are reading. Where did you read that the author wrote that Satan OWNED the world? This is what you are arguing about, and what YOU posted in your reply; Satan claimed to have authority over all the kingdoms of the earth. It says nothing in there about Satan owning the world; it says exactly what is said in 1 John; “the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one”? (1 John 5:19) And this is exactly what Jesus Christ was referring to as well, that Satan controlled the governments of man. Or, are you going to want to argue about that as well?
Daniel 2:44 “And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite;.
This is what the article said: While Jesus was here on earth, Satan claimed to have authority over all the kingdoms of the earth. Jesus did not dispute this; in fact, he himself referred to Satan as the ruler of the world This is what I said: That's a lie. He is the ruler of this age (aion), not of the world. The world belongs to God. Satan can only do what he is allowed to do. Job, for example. God is soverign, not Satan.

That's a lie. He is the ruler of this age (aion), not of the world. The world belongs to God. I would guess from this that someone, probably me, needs to explain to you what 'the world' is that is referred to in the Bible. At John 3:16, 17, what “world” did God love so much, and what “world” did God send Jesus, not to judge, but to save? In John’s account of Jesus’ life the English word “world” is translated from the Greek word kósmos, which occurs at least seventy-nine times in the original text of John’s account. Fundamentally, kósmos means “order,” that is, a constituted order, an arrangement, an ordering of things according to a certain design, an arrangement of things according to a certain pattern. I.e., governments. I will post the entire piece so you can read it. Basically, unless you understand this, you can make no sense out of 'be in this world, but not OF this world,' or 'order of things.'

Mat 12:29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. Luk 10:17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

In John’s account of Jesus’ life the English word “world” is translated from the Greek word kósmos, which occurs at least seventy-nine times in the original text of John’s account. Really? www.studylight.org/lex/gr...&book=joh&translation=str tells it occurs 58 times in John, not "at least 79". And in just glancing thru all the times it occurs, it is translated as "world", not "Fundamentally, kósmos means “order,” that is, a constituted order, an arrangement, an ordering of things according to a certain design, an arrangement of things according to a certain pattern. I.e., governments. " So you are now working your way towards showing that Christ did not came to save the world, like He plainly claimed He did, but only that he came to save certain people. Am I right?

Success is relative. It is what we can make of the mess we have made of things. T. S. Eliot
And that is true, just as it is true for EACH GENERATION, as each generation has only a very, very short time on this earth to learn The Way and change their attitudes. CAUSE THEY DIE!!!!! And turn to dust in the ground!! And once they die, they no longer have the opportunity to change and accept the Salvation of Jehovah. This is really very simple. Revelation was written nearly 70 years AFTER Jesus Christ died, and more than 20 years AFTER JERUSALEM WAS DESTROYED. It is impossible that it refers to the current events of that time. This is really not that hard to grasp, if you listen to the actual words of the Bible, rather to the non-sense of men.

Did I say that, or, anything like it? This is how it is stated in the Bible; Rev. 20:12, 13: “I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. And the dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds. . . . They were judged individually according to their deeds.” Both those who formerly did good things and those who formerly practiced bad things will be “judged individually according to their deeds.” What deeds? If we were to take the view that people were going to be condemned on the basis of deeds in their past life, that would be inconsistent with Romans 6:7: “He who has died has been acquitted from his sin.” It would also be unreasonable to resurrect people simply for them to be destroyed. So, at John 5:28, 29, Jesus was pointing ahead to the resurrection; then, in the remainder of verse 29, he was expressing the outcome after they had been uplifted to human perfection and been put on judgment. But I will take that a step further; are you of the opinion that you know who and how Almighty God is going to judge men? Are you absolutely sure that Hitler and Stalin, not to mention the Catholic Popes, will be resurrected to everlasting life?

citation please Writer: Apostle John Place Written: Patmos Writing Completed: c. 96 C.E. David Chilton backs it up, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. I could care less, but I do not see how. Babylon the Great Definition: The world empire of false religion, embracing all religions whose teachings and practices do not conform to the true worship of Jehovah, the only true God. Following the Flood of Noah’s day, false religion had its beginning at Babel (later known as Babylon). (Gen. 10:8-10; 11:4-9) In time, Babylonish religious beliefs and practices spread to many lands. So Babylon the Great became a fitting name for false religion as a whole. What evidence points to the identity of Babylon the Great, referred to in Revelation? It could not be the ancient city of Babylon. Revelation was written at the end of the first century C.E. and describes events that would reach down to our day. The Encyclopedia Americana says: “The city [Babylon] was taken by the Persians under Cyrus the Great in 539 B.C. Later Alexander the Great planned to make Babylon the capital of his eastern empire, but after his death Babylon gradually lost importance.” (1956, Vol. III, p. 7) Today the city is an uninhabited ruin. In the symbolism of Revelation, Babylon the Great is referred to as a “great city,” a “kingdom” that rules other kings. (Rev. 17:18) Like a city, it would have many organizations within it; and like a kingdom that includes other kings in its domain, it would be international in scope. It is described as having relations with political rulers and contributing much to the wealth of men in commerce, while itself being a third element that “has become a dwelling place of demons” and a persecutor of “prophets and of holy ones.”—Rev. 18:2, 9-17, 24.

All means all, except to theologians that try and explain away scriptures into fitting their personal doctrines. God is judging His house now. 1 Peter 4:17 For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? The rest get judged later. Ah yes, the Hitler and Stalin argument. You threw in the popes too. You are the first one I have seen to include them. Who, according to NT scripture, was the "worst sinner"? How long did it take to convert him? And do you really think you are better than any of them? If I recall correctly, there are a few scriptures that have some things to say about pride. Break 1 law, you are guilty of all.

Many, many people and groups; http://revelationexplained.com/pg.basictruths6.html Revelation 1:19 gives a clear scope of the Revelation, stating, "Write the things thou hast seen [past tense], and the things which are [present tense], and the things which shall be hereafter [future tense]. When the Apostle John received the Revelation (approximately A.D. 96), the Gospel Day had already been operating for sixty-three years (since A.D. 33). Therefore, some of these scenes were things that had already taken place, some were taking place as a present-tense reality, and others would take place in other portions of the Gospel Day. http://www.truthandgrace.com/revelation.htm Note: Amillennialists proclaim that Revelation was written before Jerusalem was destroyed. Note: Amillennialists avoid the context of Revelation chapter 17 in that "the women" who temporarily controls the kings kills Christians. Revelation 17:6 I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement. Which was the first emperor to persecute Christians? The emperors from Julius Caesar through Claudius never heard of Christians. The first emperor to persecute Christians was Nero to whom Paul appealed his conviction. The five kings who have fallen would be Nero, Galba, Otho, Vitellius, and Vespasian. The emperor "who is" (at time Revelation was written) would be Domitian. Did you get all of that, cause it is very important! Now, from the same source; Note: Early church fathers gave a late writing of Revelation. Irenaeous referred to Revelation in a work he wrote near the end of the second century, probably between A.D. 180 and 190. Irenaeus's credibility is enhanced, not only by his important defense of the faith, but also by his claim to be a personal acquaintance of Polycarp, who in turn had known the Apostle John himself. Irenaeus's testimony regarding Revelation is found in book 5 of his famous work Against Heresies. This has been rendered in English as follows: "We will not, however, incur the risk of pronouncing positively as to the name of Antichrist; for if it were necessary that his name should be distinctly revealed in this present time, it would have been announced by him who beheld the apocalyptic vision. For that was seen no very long time since, but almost in our day, towards the end of Domitian's reign." Pages 141-142. I could continue with this for some time, but perhaps the above is enough. Please read the following CAREFULLY. How could John say, though, that these “slaves” would be shown “things that must shortly take place”? Were not those words spoken more than 1,900 years ago? From the viewpoint of Jehovah, in whose eyes a thousand years are but “as yesterday,” 1,900 years is a short time when compared with the aeons of time that he spent in creating and preparing the earth for human habitation. (Psalm 90:4) The apostle Paul wrote of his own “eager expectation and hope,” for no doubt the reality of his reward seemed close at hand to him. (Philippians 1:20) Today, however, the evidence abounds that all the things foretold will take place on schedule. Never before in history has the very survival of mankind been at stake. Only God has the solution!—Isaiah 45:21.

I asked a retorical question, as to if you know what Almighty God is going to do about certain personalities. I make no judgements, as it is not in my jurisdiction; NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY!! And the material I posted clearly states that everyone will be resurrected, and no one knows what decisions Almighty God is going to make as to if, why, when, or not, and that includes the Christ Jesus. The sad fact is that all you want to do is pick apart to start an argument instead of holding a beneficial discussion.

Let's take this a step further, shall we? You might want to read all of the page, as it is quite revealing. http://www.biblestudying.net/rev-date.html Preterists' convenient re-interpretation of Irenaeus' statement betrays their bias in the matter. Furthermore their insistence and confidence in this unwarranted supposition is highly suspicious, nonobjective, and quite unscholarly to say the least. But, for the sake of argument, let's assume for a moment that the Preterist interpretation of Irenaeus' statement is correct. Let's assume that it is "John" and not "the apocalyptic vision" that was seen near the end of Domitian's reign. Is the scenario that they are depicting a reasonable one? Not at all. Let's take a look at the logical outcome of their interpretation. A Preterist view unequivocally upholds the following. 1. John was a witness and disciple of Jesus during Jesus' life on earth. 2. John understood that Jesus would return in his lifetime from what Jesus taught him regarding his return. This information he effectively taught to the Church of his day. 3. God used John to record and instruct the church with regard to the teachings of Jesus' through his own ministry and through the writing of one Gospel, and three epistles. 4. God revealed to John a vision of Christ's return in the 60's AD. 5. John witnessed and lived through the fulfillment of Jesus' revelation, prophecy and teaching regarding his return when these events occurred in 70 AD. (Here's where we see the breakdown in plausibility.) 6. John lived for another 25 years or so after his "apocalyptic vision" was fulfilled and Jesus returned in 70 AD. 7. During these 25 years after Jesus return, John (the writer of one Gospel, three epistles, and recorder of "the apocalyptic vision" describing Jesus' return), did not manage to successfully communicate the fact that his "apocalyptic vision" had been fulfilled 25 years earlier in 70 AD. 8. (By extension) Either God chose not to use John to inform the Church that Jesus' second coming and the apocalyptic vision were fulfilled in 70 AD, or God did chose to use John in this way but for one reason or another John did not accomplish that mission. Based on the above Preterist scenario and the fact that all orthodox church writers and scholars for at least two centuries after 70 AD upheld a Futurist view of eschatology, one of the four highly unreasonable conclusions must be drawn regarding John, the church, and Jesus' return in 70 AD. 1. John DID NOT understand that his "apocalyptic vision" had been fulfilled in 70 AD and so did not teach this to the church. 2. John DID understand that his "apocalyptic vision" had been fulfilled in 70 AD yet chose not to teach this to the church. 3. John DID understand that his "apocalyptic vision" had been fulfilled in 70 AD and attempted to teach this to the church, but was completely ineffective and wholly failed in this task. 4. John did understand that his "apocalyptic vision" had been fulfilled in 70 AD and effectively taught this to the church only to have his teaching on the matter universally rejected by the church. One last item to remember on this point: we have no record of either John or any other member of the early Church writing to instruct the Church that the events prophesied in the New Testament surrounding the return of Christ ever came to pass in 70 AD. If those events did come to pass, then the Church was left with no instruction regarding that fact. In summary, we conclude that Preterists have failed to demonstrate an objective, reasonable basis for rejecting the traditional interpretation of Irenaeus' statement. And therefore, Preterists have failed to make the case for a pre-90's dating of Revelation. This is based on two points, which we have argued thoroughly above. One, the traditional intepretation of Irenaeus' statement and the traditional dating of Revelation are inherently more reasonable, intuitive, and simple from a grammatical standpoint. Two, the unavoidable, logical extensions of the Preterist view on this matter inevitably lead to an absurd understanding of how the early Church arrived at a Futurist doctrine.

I said he was going to judge them, Hitler, Stalin, popes, you, me, everyone. You didnt ask a "rhetorical question", you tried to set a trap. You think that by asking about what you think of as extremely evil people will change anything? Who is it that makes the vessels of honor and dishonor? WHo makes peace and creates evil? God does it all, if you believe the scriptures. Don't you know that we will judge angels? It is our job to judge righteous judgment. You said: "And the material I posted clearly states that everyone will be resurrected, and no one knows what decisions Almighty God is going to make as to if, why, when, or not, and that includes the Christ Jesus. " If why when or not? Referring to what? Are you referring to "sentencing"? If so, David said that he would rather be judged my God rather than man. And David was no angel. Then you said: "The sad fact is that all you want to do is pick apart to start an argument instead of holding a beneficial discussion. " You call it picking apart. I call it exposing lies. You seem to be upset that I am not just going along with what you are teaching, and that is not "beneficial" to you. .

Satan claimed to have authority over all the kingdoms of the earth. You are nothing but a typical debater who, if he loses a point, simply ignores that and goes on the attack about something else, and I am not going to play that game. The above is where we were at, and you brought in the other. I then asked you if you thought, etc., a retorical question. No traps. No nonsense. And, that was my question. Everything else I sent came directly from the official writings of the Jehovah's Witnesses, and is Scripturally sound. And then you want to add; and that is not "beneficial" to you. Are you waiting for me to pass the collection plate? In what way is it beneficial to me? Very, very strange how you add 2 and 2 to get 3.

and you, my good sir are a typical "baiter". Richard, you insist upon trolling for a religious argument continuously. Most times I resist responding to your entrapments but I guess today isn't one of those times. Your instructions and preachings might impress a novice bible student, but grate upon the patience of others that may be more studied than "even" yourself, especially when each utterance seems to be spoken as if it were spoken from far above the lowly scum that gather here. Maybe you're attempting to speak with "authority" as was said about Jesus. Surely, reading His words demonstrates a humility that you would do well to find.
They call it the AMERIKAN DREAM because you have to be asleep (and you are) to believe it !
Almost nothing I post in Religion is written by me. I clearly mark that in the author section in each piece. I am not capable of writing the pieces I post, which are so Scripturally sound that they can not be qustioned, which is why debaters want to pull any discussion off point. And the Scriptually sound part is what causes the problems for those such as yourself who do not bother to do the studies. I wonder, noone, I open the Bible about 20 plus times a week. I have more than 200 verses marked for special attention in my Bible, and, if I counted in all of my Bibles, that would be more than 400 verses. Do you even open a Bible once a week? Once a month? Do you even have 5 favorite verses?! I listen to you spout, when we could have a clear discussion about the merits of each verse, but that is apparently beyond you. Perhaps you might learn something, or, you may be able to clear up some of my understandings. But that is beyond your ability, appartently. You hold the same beliefs as the vast majority of mankind does about the nature of their gods (trinity), the so-called immortal soul, and hell, and can not grasp what is meant about the narrow road which few find and the broad road so well traveled and which leads to destruction. But that is your choice, noone. You have a free will, and if you think that you are gaining something by spouting off at every preceived evil in the world, then go for it. If you ever wake up, Jehovah is interested in you.

I was going to leave this alone, but what the hey. I am not interested in arguments. I am interested in learning. Period. If I am wrong, I want to know it. But you have to prove it. The man who studied the Bible with me spent two years teaching me what the Bible really says, and you think that you are going to change my mind by just making a couple of well traveled and disproved statements?! I DON'T THINK SO!! Open a Bible, noone, and get with it. Everyone who wants to chew on me makes such silly statements about the Bible, that it is quite obvious that they are simply talking about what they were told. That does not cut it. Period. Actually, what you sound like is exactly like all of the stupid ones who want to argue that there is no law requiring them to pay the income tax. So, you show them where it is authorized on a contractual basis within the Social Security Enabling Act and they will still go ahead and argue their way right into a prison cause they will not accept proof. The only thing that they want to hear is what they want to hear, just like you. Nothing else matters.

Wheee. Wow. Richard! This is impressive! Where do you want your little merit badge? Is your shoulder OK now? Seriously, Richard......your 'holier than thou' attitude gains no conversation or debate. With your attitude, I guarantee you would not gain entry into my home--and I do have a friend here who is JW who does come into my home and visit! But Cherie is nothing like you in attitude, or should I say, perceived attitude? Frankly, richard, you seem to be just another one of those 'we're the only ones going to heaven, yada yada yada' types...those who should never be verbally witnessing regarding Jesus Christ, Jehovah, the Holy Spirit, Gospels, or anything else. You'd do much better just to let people see your actions, i.e., your head spent over YOUR bible, or watchiing you in prayer.
Thanks Dee. Most of the folks that partiipate on this forum are interested in learning and sharing information. It just makes the learning a little hard to take when it's being force fed to ya by an 800 pound angelic gorilla.
They call it the AMERIKAN DREAM because you have to be asleep (and you are) to believe it !
The Lord God has allowed Satan to operate within the limits or boundries HE set. Satan's domain or control is only over unbelievers. Colossians 1: 12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 2 Timothy 2 19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. 22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. 1 John 5 19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. 20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
