paulGrundy: Again no attempt to add further explanation. As explained earlier , the perishable and imperishable is talking about the bodies that those who will go to heaven will have. That body is not for the unrighteous. It is not for everyone. Hence it does not answer the question . Furthermore, the verses says nothing about the soul being immortal. Even some of those who gained the inperishable body had once perished! Just in case you dnt know, evalasting life and imortality are not the same thing. they will remain on earth and experience the anti-christs rule after which comes judgement. Let me break the question down for you. The question is to know what the bible says about the future of those who will not experience the so called rapture ok. 4B(a) What will happen to them before the anti Christ rule, after the so called rapture ? 4B(b)What will happen to those humans after judgment. 4B(c)Will there be people who will not burn in hell when they don't experience or partake in the so called rapture? If yes , where will those people be ? the watchtower hasSir, I asked you a question, I did not ask you to select any other persons versions. Pls tell us ur view of the scripture I sited and question asked. Read rev 20:5,6 then answer my question: 5.Since there is a first resurrection, there is also other resurrections, what is the difference between the first ressurection and other resurrections? no.Since you say sodom is no longer burning , what happened to the fire and sulphur that burnt it down ? That evalasting fire is no longer burning, as an example apply these to other scriptures that talks about evalasting fire too. his mortal soul/body Question 7A: How is hades an escort? Is hades an escort because men are buried in the grave? Pls answer those questions. You now see where your answers has led you, you can't differentiate between the body and soul again hence you now say soul/body is buried in the grave. Before it was body to the grave and soul to hell. Now it is soul/body to the grave. 7B Is the soul and body the same thing ? If no , why do you say soul/body . Or do both go to the grave? The Bible does not specifically tell us whether Adam and Eve were saved.Sir I did not ask you if adam and eve where saved or not. dnt change the issue. I asked : So where did God say that adam will go to ? In a more understandable way : where did God tell adam that he ,adam, will return to? Adam and EveHian!!. So God did not say where adam will go/ return to when he dies? So you are saying that after God passes judgement, he can still save such one ? . That means Satan can be saved also then if he repents? Bro ur statements are truly not biblical . 1 Like |

paulGrundy: Haba!, do you still not get it, do you still not understand that if we follow what you said(which incidentally cannot be proved using the bible) it means that there has been a ressurection of those who will go to heaven prior to jesus resurrection , does this not negate jesus as firstfruit of those to be ressurected? That it also means that they have already been judged ? If so, who will later be righteous and unrighteous that are ressurected in the last day? Who will hades and the sea give up later, when they are not there any longer.? Are you saying there are two judgements, one immediately after death and the other later ? 1 Like |

This is precisely the reason why I hate argueing with straw men, misinterpretations, distortions and red herring approach. For those honest hearted sincere truth seekers check this out; Q1: does John 3:13 mean that no man has literally ascended to heaven? Answer: that scripture if taken literally is inaccurate because, saints have gone to heaven, mark 12:26-27, luke 9:28-36. Enoch and Elijah were taken up without dying Genesis 5:24, heb 11:5, 2kings 2:11. What then was Jesus talking about? In v10-12, of John 3 we see that Jesus was talking about his authority and validity of his teaching. Jesus tells Nicodemus that he has been teaching what he knew first hand v11, then in v13 he explains why he is uniquely qualified to teach of the kingdom- because he alone came down from heaven and possess the knowledge to teach people about heaven. Jesus was claiming diety. Q2: is jesus the first person to rise from the dead? Ans: those argueing in support of that notion, justify their stance with these scriptures; col 1:18, Acts 26:23, Rev 1:4. This notion is incorrect because some persons have been raised from the dead before Jesus' ressurection: Elisha raised the son of the shunaminite woman 2kings 4:32-55. Elishas dead bones raised a man from the dead 2kings 13:20-21. Jesus himself raised a widows son luke 7:11-15. What then does it mean to say Jesus is the firstborn from the dead. The word firstborn has great significance in the bible, its greek is prototokos-first born child. In the OT the firstborn innherited his fathers place as head of the family receiving a double portion of his inheritance deut 27:17. The nation of isreal is reffered to as Gods firstborn Ex 4:22. In the NT Jesus is shown to be the "new isreal" the fulfillment of Gods promise to bless all nations through abrams seed Gal 3:7. In reffering to Jesus as firstborn of the dead, his kingship of David is being celebrated, he is potrayed as Davids heir psalm 89:1. It also shows jesus to be the inaugurator of the new creation. Q3: who will be the rightoeus and unrightoes that will be ressurected on the last day? Answer: they are those that died and are still dying after Jesus' ressurection. As for those who died before jesus, many have been resurected immediately after jesus' ressurection. [size=21pt]Mattew 27:52-53; "And the graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his ressurection and went into the holy city and appeared unto many"[/size]. I believe these dead saints comprised most not all of the dead OT folks. |

Q: is sodom and Gomorrah still burning? Answer: the irony anti-hellfire folks asking this question is that, they will still have to admit that the unrightoeus would be destroyed by fire going by scripture, whether their interpretation of destruction is short term or forever. Jude 7; "....suffering the vegeance of eternal fire" Jesus himself compared judgement with the event of sodom and gomorrahs doom. Luke 17:29-30; "....it rained fire and brimstone... Even thus shall it be on that day when the son of man shall be revealed" This same Jesus said in mattew 25:41; "...ye cursed into everlasting fire.." What can be conclude from these scriptures? The event of S & G's doom is a close semblance or a close illustration of what would happen during the end of time hence the use of the word- "eternal fire" in Jude. Sodom and gomorrah not burning presently is not enough to dismiss the upcoming doom of eternal burning in hell fire. After all jesus said that those who believe in him hath/now has[present tense] eternal life. John 3:36, John 5:24. But JW's will quickly dismiss that to mean hope of everlasting life in future not presently. Hence we can see that this is not the first time the word "eternal" has been used in that context. Bearing this in mind and comparing with other scriptures, an open minded truth seeker can now conclude that there is an eternal fire prepared for the sinners. |

@paulgrundy Why do you resort to this, anyways still awaiting ur answersto the questions posed to you. This is precisely the reason why I hate argueing with straw men, misinterpretations, distortions and red herring approach. For those honest hearted sincere truth seekers check this out; Let's check it out and see who the above is reffering to. Q1: does John 3:13 mean that no man has literally ascended to heaven? Nicodemus, a Pharisee, came to see jesus. He said to jesus, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.” Notice what this man said , he said he knew jesus came from God. He knew jesus had authority from God who is in heaven and has validity in his teachings cus God was with jesus. He wanted to know more, not to be told what he already knows in a non literal manner as it is being tried to be explained above. Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. ” Paulgrundy tried to explain that enoch and elijah and the faithful people of old went to heaven before jesus came, but jesus said you must be born again to attain such feat. Now ill like to as him if there is any record in the scriptures of any of those people being born again and what born again means. Nicodemus learning something new asks “How can someone be born when they are old?, “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!” Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You c must be born again.’ The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” To enter heaven, you have to be born of water and spirit. Ill like to ask here. Is there any one of old born of water and spirit ? Cus without that, they cannot enter heaven. “How can this be?” nicodemus asks . Then jesus told him “You are Israel’s teacher,”,and do you not understand these things? Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man." In simple plain English ," no one has gone into heaven except the son of man who came from heaven." Is it wrong to take this statement literal ? Has anyone ascended to heaven before jesus ? Some claim that elijah and enoch went to heaven, but when we look into the scritures we find these as false. 1 cor 15 :20 says : But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. These verse explains that jesus is the first to be ressurected in a manner that was later explained in 1 cor chapter 15. Some versions translated that verse as : "He is the first of a great harvest of all who have died." "the first one offered in the harvest of those who have died." After jesus resurrection what then happened ? Hebrews chapter 9 helps us to know . Heb 9: 12- He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption. (jesus obtained eternal redemption for humans with his own blood.) Heb 9:13,14- The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God! ( the blood of jesus more more important than the blood of animals used in those days ) Heb 9:15,16- For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance— now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. In the case of a will, it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living. This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood. ( in the new covenant, those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance. This covenant was not initiated until jesus came to earth , I wonder why some say people before jesus came benefited from a covenant that was not initiated before jesus came. It went further to state that "In the case of a will, it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living." So in the these case of jesus promise of heavenly inheritance, it does come into effect unless jesus died first, to provide the ransom. Just as the first covenant does not come into effect without blood, the second covenant does not come into effect without the presentation of jesus blood as ransom. So therefore, it is verry verry wrong to state that some people who died before jesus presented the ransome sacrifice benefited from it before it was giving. so no one could use jesus ransome to enter heaven until jesus gave it. Read verse 19 to 22 Heb 9:23 -It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence.(in conclusion, man cannot enter heaven without these being done first ) You can find further proofs if you read these verses: John 14:2, 3. Hebrew 6:19, 20. Hebrew 10:19, 20 In their resurrection these must bear “the image of the heavenly one,” Christ Jesus, in order to ascend to the heavens of the spirit plane, for “flesh and blood” cannot inherit that heavenly Kingdom.— 1Co 15:42-50. Did mark 12:26-27, say that the dead have gone to heaven, no! What did jesus call the events recorded in luke 9:28-36? A vision! Can enoch and elijah enter heaven without dying ? For flesh and blood cannot do that! What did apostle say about those faithful servants of God who lived before jesus ? Heb 11:13 - All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. To cover a lie another lie must be told .

Of course another lie will be told, that's why the watchtower does not have one opinion on a simple issue as this! Those using being born again as the only criteria to make heaven (before Jesus). Have forgotten Enoch abi?? Who walked with God and God took him away, did he give his life to Jesus? (Jesus hadn't yet come in flesh). And to even tell lies on Jesus' head, disgusts me!! ):< Jesus never called the event at the transfiguration a parable or vision! He was visited live by moses and Elijah! Luke 9:28-36King James Version (KJV) 28 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. 29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering. 30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: 31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. 32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him. 33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said. 34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud. 35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. 36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen. Off course am not suprised you don't know this! Instead of studying your bible, you are quoting gibberish from watchtowers studies in the scriptures |

paulgrundy For those who change what the scriptures says, the false changes will eventualy hook them . If it is believed that jesus Made that statement to nicodemus to imply that he is the only one that came to earth from heaven . They do not know that using the transfiguration to butress there belief that elijah and moses are alive in heaven nulifies the first Belief , for it shows then that jesus is not the only man who came from heaven Q2: is Jesus the first person to rise from the dead? One can see all the join join above and know it has no head, tail or direction . Col 1: 18- And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. (in what way is jesus the beginning and firstborn from among the dead ?) Acts 26:23-that the Messiah would suffer and, as the first to rise from the dead, would bring the message of light to his own people and to the Gentiles." (can you explain why these verse says jesus is the first to rise from the dead when the scripture has shown that there had been previous resurrection?) 1 cor 15:20- But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep in death. Why is jesus the first,firstfruit and firstborn of this those who are to be resurrected? The answer lies in the form of those who are to be ressurected . All other resurrections prior to the resurrection of jesus was done in the flesh/perishable/physical body . But jesus is the first , followed later by his disciples and followers to be resurrected with a spirit/inperishable body. That is why jesus is said to "became a life giving spirit" and those with heavenly life in view will share in the divine nature . Whateva explanation you try to give, the firsttborn is the firstborn cus he is the first to be born ! He is the first in wateva category you want to put it , therefore the preference.

You have been giving time and chance to explain jesus statement that one cannot see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. You keep on denying that statement without telling us why. U use enoch as an excuse, these same enoch in which it was not mentioned in the scriptures how and where he was taken. For ur mind you Just concluded for God that he was taken to heaven despite numerous scripture showing you that was not the case. It was shown to you with scripture that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. It was shown to you with scripture that enoch and all other faithful men of old died and did not receive the promise. It was shown to you that the ransom had to be payed before the inheritance can be achieved. It was shown to you that the old covenant and its cleasing of sin process was not good enough to enter heaven.

paulGrundy: Oga, dnt change the topic, dnt start another attack when one has not been cleared yet. I've given you instances where "horama" is translated as "vision" in the scriptures versions you quoted. I've explained what "horama" is. Yet you say I lie that jesus did not say "vision" when it is glaring that it is you that does not read ur bible. Pls explain what jesus said to nicodemus and elijah and moses coming to meet jesus and let's see if it wunt contradict it and the holes filled with speculations. 1 Like |

@ paulgrundy but i can suggest where he was taken too-- God took him to your backyard. Bro, use scriptural facts to support ur suggestion, do not use suggestions as the foundation of ur beliefs. 1. The scripture did not say where God took enoch . 2. Apostle paul said he died like all other faithful men he mentioned. 3. Apostle paul said he, like all other faithful men did not receive the promise when they died, but saw it afar off. A good Christian will look at these facts as stated in the bible and explain it, Yet you keep suggesting otherwise without giving ur own view of the scriptures quoted to you. if old covenant cleansing is not enough to enter heaven, by your statement you are implying I restate again : 1. It was shown to you with scripture that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. 2. It was shown to you with scripture that enoch and all other faithful men of old died and did not receive the promise. 3. It was shown to you that the ransom had to be payed before the inheritance can be achieved. 4. It was shown to you that the old covenant and its cleasing of sin process was not good enough to enter heaven. Does not all the points shown to you show you that prior to the establishment of the new covenant , no imperfect human can enter heaven?. They died like adam died, they return to dust like adam did. On that day they died, their thoughts do perish. They can only make heaven only if they are part of the first resurrection. Now who is part of the first resurrection and who is not, but part of other resurrection. These question I have asked you and u refused to answer. Answering that question will help you to understand who goes or is in heaven. As at when this verse was written , David did not ascend to heaven Acts 2:34: For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand. oga some folks has Show us where it is stated that they were resurrected to heaven. My point is based on a scripture where it is said that God told adam where he came from and where it will go to when he dies. Yet you suggest otherwise and still refuse to address that scripture. Are you deliberately misreading my quotes or you don't understand or even read them @ all. John 3:13 :No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. Ur statement : because he alone came down from heaven and possess the knowledge to teach people about heaven. Conclusion: jesus alone has ascended and descended. If my conclusion is wrong , pls. Re -explain the part "no one has ascended to heaven except .." and let's see if it wunt contradict ur explanation on moses and elijah. Pls answer the questions posed to you a while ago. |

Jozzy4: Truth has no need for forgiveness, it's true that those who belong to the sect that call themselves Jehovah's Witnesses are antichrists, you have been blinded, but Christians can see it. quote: Additionally, the Jehovah's Witness' organization requires of its members regular weekly attendance at their "Bible Study" meetings where they are repeatedly indoctrinated with anti-Christian teachings. This is done by reading the Watchtower magazine, following along with what it says, reading the questions it asks, and reciting the answers it gives. In other words, the Watchtower Organization carefully trains its members to let the Organization do their thinking for them. For confirmation of this, please read Does the Watchtower organization control the JW's thinking? https://carm.org/is-the-jehovahs-witness-religion-christian Just read through that one site and see all the false doctrines of those who call themselves Jehovah's witnesses, but are not, and do lie, and see all the instances of where they change the Bible to suit their false doctrines, and then if you were not blinded you would see as Christians know, that those who belong to the sect that calls themselves Jehovah's Witnesses are antichrists indeed. |

@ johnw74 @ jozzy4 @ everybody else Watchtower Announcing Jehovah's Kingdom is an illustrated religious magazine, published semimonthly in 251 languages by Jehovah's Witnesses via the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania and printed in various branch offices around the world. Along with its companion magazine, Awake!, The Watchtower —Public Edition is the most widely circulated magazine in the world, with an average print run of nearly 53,000,000 copies per month. all involved are volunteers. they are not there for money Unlike some religious books where the authors have their names boldly written for recognition and showmanship, The names of the authors (except in first- person life stories), and other publishing staff are never included in the magazine. they do their work not for public praise. Since the first issue of The Watchtower in 1879, with 6,000 copies printed, circulation of The Watchtower continued to increase, and the magazine has not missed an issue. (Can you beat that!, over hundred years and no issue is missed) The magazine is printed in nineteen different countries about 25% of the total is printed at one of the organization's printeries in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. (go to eigeduma, edo state and see how work is done in a peaceful and beautiful environment. The Public Edition has an average monthly print run of about 53,000,000 copies, making it the magazine with the largest circulation in the world. The magazine is distributed by Jehovah's Witnesses, who consider their preaching work to be a public service. From March 1, 1990, the journals were made available at no cost, on a freewill donation basis in the United States, with the stated purpose of simplifying their Bible educational work and distinguishing themselves from those who commercialize religion. The article "Use Our Literature Wisely", which appeared in the May 1990 issue of Our Kingdom Ministry, stated that "there are growing pressures against all religious elements" and went on to say that their main concern was to move ahead in the worldwide preaching work, "without hindrance." The sale of Jehovah's Witnesses' literature was gradually phased out in other countries, and The Watchtower has been distributed free of charge worldwide since January 2000, its printing being funded by voluntary donations from Jehovah's Witnesses and members of the public. All these achievement from an organization that does not collect tithe or force its members to make offerings. They do their work willingly and happily ,just as true christians are supposed to do, going from house to house as jesus commanded, not in private jets, armoured jeeps or expensive worldly materials. These good news must be preached in all the earth, and then the end will come After Jesus’ death and resurrection, his disciples continued to preach “from house to house.” ( Acts 5:42) As Jesus did, they too preached in informal settings and in public places. ( John 4:7-26; 18:20; Acts 17:17) Today, Jehovah’s Witnesses use those same methods to preach to all people. Jesus indicated that not everyone would listen. (Matthew 10:14; 24:37-39) . But I will continue to preach , to save myself and those who listen to me. 1 Like |
