if u said that God doesnt keep thoughts of peoples evil deeds, well thats incorrect, read Jer 31:31-34, God said that he would make a convenant with the people and under such convenant he would no longer remember the sins of the people, dat promise only applies to those who are under that convenant, the promise to forget peoples sins is not for everyone theres a condition atached to it, u must be under the new convenant, aka u must beleive in and relate with Jesus!!
Well before the true God if you're not an Israelite He doesn't even know you exist at all!

It's His angels who are going about keeping account of people who are trying to live and let live. That's why Jesus could say about people who don't know the truth about God:


Jesus said to him: “Keep following me, and let the dead bury their dead.” Matt 8:22

Only the Israelites are living people from God's viewpoint and not even all of them but the faithful ones among them. As for people of other nations they will be resurrected as UNRIGHTEOUS {Act 24:15} since they lived by conscience not God's standard! Roma 2:15

So God doesn't keep account of evildoers at all they've had their days and chosen to misuse their opportunity of searching for God with their hearts! Psalms 9:17

Thanks! smiley

Jesus Christ told his 12 disciples not to go into the way of the Gentiles. So the twelve thrones Jesus Christ was referring to will be in the nation of Israel and not for the people you are gathering.
Jesus Christ stated that "Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things" they "shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." Matthew 19:28.

Matthew 10:5-6
5 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans.
6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
YES! Because the Messiah (Christ) had no direct business with people of other nations, rather it's the descendants of Israel (Jacob) that were supposed to take the good news of God's Kingdom to other nations after the Messiah has taught them.
Note that even among the Israelites Jesus still separated the Jews as special because they're the ones still keeping the scrolls of all the prophets while the Samaritans only knew and acknowledged few books, that's why he first excluded Samaritans from his ministry! John 4:22

YOU PEOPLE ERRORNOUSLY MADE IT LOOK LIKE ALL THE IRRELEVANT QUOTES TO THE SUBJECT IN PURVIEW PRE-EXISTS THE BOOK OF GENESIS THAT CONTAINS THE ORIGINAL SIN.

All other happenings after the original sin were consequent upon that singular act and God's intention with plans for MANKIND.

JESUS WAS SENT DOWN TO US TO REDEEM US FROM OUR MISDEED AND REBELION AGAINST GOD'S WILL AND WISH.
THERE PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ANY MORE BOOKS AFTER GENESIS, IF WE HAD NOT GONE AGAINST HIS WILL AND INSTRUCTION. JESUS MAY HAVE NOT COME TO SAVE US. MAY HAVE NOT BEEN NECESSARY

Not the other way round. It is not rock science.
Please calm down my friend!

Books become necessary due to memory loss of imperfect humans but had it been Adam and Eve never sinned there wouldn't be any need for books to be written because by then we will all be perfect like Jesus who can remember everything he has seen, heard, said or did perfectly! Jere 31:33-34

But for now we need these books until after we regain perfection! smiley

For @MaxInDHouse.
If what you intended was the truth, why did he ask and or mention a particular Christian sect, the Witnesses and the question not made general and directed to all, or any Christian sect? You may have been cornered by a comedian who attempted ridiculing the Witness sect. I am not.
We really appreciate people like him who speaks from the heart, our Master, Lord and King Christ Jesus taught us never to be quick in judging people but to be slow in response and fast in listening! James 1:19

Nathaniel was aggressive even abusive of Jesus' origin {John 1:46} but Jesus saw something else in Nathaniel {John 1:47} my friend the name Nathaniel today is part of the 12 names that formed the foundation of God's Kingdom in heaven! Reve 21:14

So don't even think he did anything wrong by asking a thought provoking question the way he chose to! smiley

Your answer clearly shows that the human definition/perspective of death is different from God's definition, humans see death from the lems of time whilst God sees it from the lens of eternity, if that is the case then why do u guys view death of the soul(the soul that sinneth shall die) from a strictly human standpoint of "becoming unconcious and seizing to exist" why are u confident that such is the correct way to inteprete that scripture(Ezek 18:4) huh
The body is what we know but the character is what God prefer so when a person dies we will bury his body but the character remains fresh in God's memory no matter how long it takes {Genesis 4:10} He still view them from the standpoint of their character {Luke 20:38} but when a person choose to be evil God doesn't keep account of evil thoughts so He format them from His memory which means they will not be remembered during the resurrection of the dead!

It was because Adam ate the forbidden fruit that we die today, which was not God's intention for man. Else, there would not have been death for Humans. That is what NO DEATH FOR MAN means. Death became the ultimate end for mankind for contravening his law and acting in defiance of his instruction.

HIS INTENTION WAS FOR US TO LIVE FOREVER, IMMORTALITY.

Therefore, stop being disingenuous and half-smart. Except you are a true Christian you may not know the import of the sacrilege you attempted spinning.

You wish to ridicule a Christian sect, though I am not a fan of theirs. Neither am I a member of the Witness sect. However, you became very LTTLE in the process and become reduced deflated and the one RIDICULED instead.

Which what God's Word teaches again, is it my word? i quoted Bible for you, you say it is not close to what God's word teaches. grin cheesy grin

1Th 4:17  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 
This is the Rapture we talk about, whatever other words you call it. But don't confuse it with resurrection. The previous verse clearly says the dead will rise first, another passage confirm that we shall not all sleep/die.
Jesus told his disciples who strongly desire to rule with him that they have to drink from the( same cup) with him {Matt 20:22} the cup Jesus drank was DEATH! Luke 22:42
There's no way any human can go to heaven with Christ without first dying and burial, that's the only way their corruptible body could be sown before germinating into the incorruptible! 1Corin 15:42
So the word RAPTURE doesn't fit in at all! cheesy

Lol, people who are alive and remain are resurrected? Are you okay bayi? Get a proper dictionary not a roadside/stolen newspaper.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, if this is what you mean then it's not even close to what God's word teaches!

According to God's word all those who are going to heaven must die first before they can be transformed they must taste death (the same cup) before joining Jesus in his kingdom {Matt 20:22} the corruptible body must die and be buried (sown) first! 1Corin 15:42

What Paul is saying there is that unlike the first set of born again Christians who slept in death {Matt 13:25} for centuries before Jesus' return those who are still alive will no longer remain in their graves as dead people rather they will be transformed instantly after their death and burial to join Jesus and their fellow born again Christians in heaven! 1Corin 15:50-54

Now i know why REAL Bible students disagree with the usage of that word "RAPTURE" undecided

You don't know what Rapture means and you are talking rubbish since. Let me cure your ignorant gullibility by force.
The rapture is the term referring to the catching up of believers to meet the Lord Jesus in the air. It is explained stated in the Bible in passages like the below.
1Th 4:17  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Well it should have rightly be RESURRECTION because what Paul is talking about there is the resurrection of the first fruit of God's Kingdom.
So if some RELIGION call it RAPTURE and others question the WORD used i don't see any reason why you should be offended since what you yourself quoted never mention that word, and mind you the word RAPTURE could mean several other things which has nothing to do with the Bible:

RAPTURE

[1]Extreme pleasure, happiness or excitement.


[2]In some forms of fundamentalist Protestant eschatology, the event when Jesus returns and gathers the souls of living believers. (Usually "the rapture."wink

[3]The act of kidnapping or abducting, especially the forceful carrying off of a woman.

[4]Rape; ravishment; sexual violation.

[5]The act of carrying, conveying, transporting or sweeping along by force of movement; the force of such movement; the fact of being carried along by such movement.

[6]A spasm; a fit; a syncope; delirium.

Christianity Etc › Re: Who Owns A Child by MaxInDHouse(m): 9:24am On Jun 02, 2022
Ownership of the child is not of any of the parties mentioned, remember before God said "be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth" {Gene 1:28} the Bible made us to understand that He (God) blessed both Adam and Eve which means none between the two has the right to claim the child but both should be responsible for the child's upbringing.

The truth of the matter is that God is the sole owner of each child {Psalms 127:3} that's why He gave specific orders on how to dedicate the child to Him after both parties have succeeded in producing a child due to His blessings! Deut 6:4-7

Of course the man is the head of the family {1Corin 11:3} so God placed all members under his control but then each life belongs to the maker! Matthew 10:30 smiley

Do you take Bible seriously?Do you take pornography seriously? Do you take homosexuality seriously? According to your logic, these are just dogma and not to be taken seriously.
The name people generally call the 66 books of the Abrahamic faith is "BIBLE" so there's no need questioning what they meant when they say "Bible"

Pornography is what people generally call nude filming of mating humans so you can change that if you're not pleased.

Homosexuality is what people generally call same sex mating so you can choose what to call it.

But the word "RAPTURE" doesn't have any correlation with what the Bible teaches and what more? It wasn't WRITTEN in the Bible so anyone can question it! cheesy

The meaning of rapture, Bible and what you call sinful acts are all found in the Bible even when the English words are not there in your versions. Dead man killed by the letter and Jwickedness.
No JW will preach anything about salvation to you apart from what you and i can find WRITTEN in the scriptures. So if RAPTURE is not WRITTEN anywhere in the Bible then it's not to be taken seriously rather it's just another dogma in the world of Christendom! cheesy
Christianity Etc › Re: Why Are You A Christian? by MaxInDHouse(m): 7:44am On Jun 02, 2022
Dtruthspeaker:
grin Yep and you surprisingly proved what I know faith is
To "join Jesus".
You did not say "faith in God and Christ group". You said "faith in God and Christ".
And having faith in God and Christ is just but a little step IF HE DOES NOT LIVE IN accordance with God and Christ.
As many church goers have shown, they know God and Christ, but they do not wish to live accordingly.
The separation occurs when you put away your former living and live according to your new Guider!
And as you see, No group here. Just a solo switch and change of living standards.
And the Bible does not record whether Nico lived according to God and Christ.
That is the bone of contention!

What does "Faith in God" means?
What does "Faith in Christ" means?

First of all let's discuss "Faith in God"

The true God established Faith through one man called "Abraham" this man was ordered to leave his people with all his belongings and travel to a far distant land where he doesn't know nor have any relations there {Genesis 12:1} Abraham proved he has FAITH in the God who called him by acting in line with the instruction he received {Hebre 11:8-10; James 2:23} afterwards people like Rahab, Ruth and many more left their people and religions only to join the Israelites in worshiping the God of Abraham! James 2:25; Hebre 11:31 compare to Ruth 1:16

By so doing those ladies became members of the house of faith in God through their actions not just faith! James 2:18-26

Now let's talk about "Faith in Christ"

Jesus of Nazareth was a carpenter before God called him to start a ministry and soon some Jews left their former groups to join him in the ministry {John 1:35-38} because of this they became zealous preachers and industrious teachers of God's word going from one place to another with Jesus until after his death, resurrection and ascension to heaven.
Before leaving the earth Jesus commanded them to continue doing what he taught them {Matt 28:18-20} assuring them of the support of God's Holy Spirit! Act 1:8
Most Jews believed in Jesus too but they later stopped following his group {John 6:66} which made Jesus to pray for only those who stick to him always {John 17:8-9} Jesus also confirmed that it's only through this group that anyone could be connected to himself and his God {Matt 16:19; John 15:1-10} so even though many others believe in Jesus but if they're not connected to that group there's no way they can be productive in line with Jesus' ministry {Act 18:24-26} Paul later believe in Jesus and was ordered to go and join Jesus' group where he will be told how to set up a ministry! Act 9:6; 27-28

So Jesus surely established a GROUP and it's only through this group that anyone can learn how to go about the ministry Jesus commissioned, that's why Jesus himself warned his future disciples that whoever fails to IDENTIFY the group can't gain salvation {Matt 25:31-46} because Jesus' disciples must have the same line of thought and teaching anywhere they go {John 17:20-23 compare to 1Corin 1:10} it's only then that the prophecy regarding pure worship which says God's people will "use the scriptures to teach themselves, settle all their racial disparities, divert their resources into production of food and information materials, stop the production of WEAPONS and vow never to raise weapons against anyone" could come to pass! Isai 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3 compare to Zephaniah 3:9

And as for Nicodemus, God's word didn't mention his name but gave us a clue that he must be one of those in priestly services that later joined Jesus' group! Act 6:7

May you have PEACE! smiley
Christianity Etc › Re: Why Are You A Christian? by MaxInDHouse(m): 6:49am On Jun 02, 2022
Before you said:
Dtruthspeaker:
Nicodemus did not even have any faith!
But after i've opened up the scriptures to show you how faithful Nicodemus proved to be you changed your mind and said:
Dtruthspeaker:
This is Correct.
Now this is not correct.
Salvation cometh not from any group. It cometh from The Lord.
And it is those who have understood that the Salvation of God is that they should live as Christ lived, therefore they are like-Christ or Christ-like thus, dubbed "Christian"!
Christ-likeness is a character a person takes up, it is not a group.
So if you now agreed with me that Nicodemus had faith in God and Christ, do you think he can be saved without leaving his former group to join Jesus' group? READ Luke 18:22 smiley

Brainwashing? Which one is brainwashing between you that was conquered and forced to bow down before foreign gods or learning on how the physical world works in order to make life more meaningful.

Who told you that science has failed to attempt the study of how humans can cohabit peacefully on the same planet? Have you never heard of psychology and sociology?

What has mankind achieved with technology? I don't believe I am reading this? You want to compare the quality of life now and during the time of Jesus or Moses? Life right now is more peaceful than at anytime during the bible period.

Human had always been hunting themselves from the very beginning. Even with all the conflicts and wars going on today, this period still remains the most peaceful when compared with the past.

Religion had been the most source of war and conflict in world history.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, this is why you guys need to humbly consider true faith instead of jumping to wrong conclusions whenever you hear the word "GOD"

Well for your information religion and science has been side by side for ages so technology only continue to improve by the day through various discoveries. But when i talk about "peaceful coexistence" i meant testable proof not just claims.

Can you present any group of persons or society where sociology or psychology has successfully erased, politics, racism and military services from the hearts of adherents of such a school of thought?

The GOD of the Bible never said there has ever been a time when PEACE reigned anywhere on this planet except in the garden He prepared in the beginning but He once predicted a time when He will pour out His Holy Spirit only within those who believe (trust) Him and claimed that they will use His words to settle all their racial disparities, divert their resources into the production of food and information materials, vow never to raise weapons against anyone again neither will they learn wars anymore! Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3 compare to Zephaniah 3:9

So tell me what has sociology or psychology achieved in the midst of adherents apart from the normal ways humans deal with humans which Science and technology has failed to change? undecided

[1]I don't follow my parents. I am convinced of my Deen. How will I leave Islam an start chasing the worship of Jesus of 1914?

[2]It's absurd! So how many times will your Jesus come again?

[3]The last time he said he would send the comforter but he still had to come in 1914 which means the comforter wasn't scoring well just as the 12 disciples he first chose!

[4]How do you believe such lies?
Note that whatever you and i read in the pages of books shouldn't render our brains DEAD rather it supposed to enhance our sense of reasoning, that's what makes it Godly not just claims! smiley

So back to your questions:

[1] Both Islam and Jesus of 1914 were stories to you and i, we never witnessed any of the two happened. So intelligent people will not stick to how far but how well. If Islam is 20,000,000,000 years old but JWs is just less than 200 years, any right thinking person will go for which is yielding positive results in the human society not that which is older! smiley

[2] Even if Jesus has to come a hundred times what matters to me is the improvement in the way those who truly appreciate his teachings are able to cohabit peacefully within their gathering not how many times Jesus came. So i'm less concerned with stories rather i want to see fine WORKS as in results! James 2:18-26 smiley

[3] The comforter Jesus sent was to help his followers to be bold amidst deadly oppositions and establish pure worship as he taught them. John 16:12-13 compare to Act 1:8
He also prophesied that Satan will soon plant evildoers in their midst to pollute pure worship {Matt 13:25} but angels won't support killing of any kind in the midst of his disciples, that's why true Christianity differs from false religions where bloodshed is encouraged to keep them in their preferred order! Matt 13:29

[4] LIES can never ever yield positive results in Sacred matters rather it's only the truth that can produce fine fruit! Matthew 7:16-18 smiley

Each time his threads on Deeperlife finds no commentator he switch over to JW matters for you guys to come and meet with his fellow misinformed Churchgoers who already have preconceived thoughts against JWs.

That's why i left him and whatever he chooses to say about God's organization. If he truthfully knows his church is up to the task let him focus on his Deeperlife matters. He's deceiving himself and his cohorts because right from time Kumuyi has taught them never to accept other churches as born again but his friends don't know this they're thinking by joining him to criticize JWs Deeperlifers will take their churches seriously.

Kumuyi is a real wolf in sheep's clothing and that is what he has made this guy, instead of coming out openly to tell other churches that they're not on the same page with him Kumuyi keeps pretending they're the same yet he's poisoning the minds of his followers against other churches of Christendom.

[3] And how was he crucified again?

And no one even knows the name of the person(s) who gave you the name Christian. The person must have been a gentile.
[1] We walk by faith not by sight {2 Corin 5:7} so it's not what everyone sees that determines our faith rather it's what happens in line with God's purpose for salvation. God's purpose is for the entire inhabited earth to be united in Love, Joy and peace {Isai 2:2-4} so if any religion successfully gathered people in millions used a book known as scriptures to achieve that then they truly knows what they're saying! Matt 5:14-16; 7:16-18
[2] Jesus returned in 1914, noticed thousands of religion all claiming Abrahamic faith but none was prepared to make amendments in the mistakes they're making as they all failed to achieve the goal of Abrahamic faith except one group known back then as International Bible Students Association, so Jesus as a mighty spirit being began correcting their errors gradually until what we now know as "Jehovah's Witnesses" today!
[3] Today anyone who can see all the fine WORKS Jesus is using God's Holy Spirit to do in the midst of Jehovah's Witnesses has nailed him to the torture stake again.
Think of any RELIGION that has successfully gathered millions throughout the earth and erased politics, military services and racism from their hearts like the JWs. If there's none then it simply means all other religions are on the broad road to destruction {Matthew 7:13-14} if you can't produce fine WORKS with God don't think your parents chose a religion that's of God! 2Corin 4:4

The name "CHRISTIANS" was borrowed from Antioch when the inhabitants of that city saw how Jesus' disciples were conducting themselves just as Jesus who was called CHRIST taught them {Act 1:8} but after the death of the pioneers of the group {Matt 13:25} time Satan polluted that group with evil and ambitious politicians and that's what all of you thought is CHRISTIANITY but God later sent Jesus back in 1914 to call faithful people out from all those false religions claiming Abrahamic {Reve 18:4} and after refining them God began calling His faithful worshipers by anyone group name "JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES" Isai 65:15

Nicodemus was a prominent member of the Sanhedrin (Jewish High Court consisting of two major religious group known back then as Pharisees and Sadducees) this man believed all what the prophets said about the Messiah (Christ) when other members of his group were furiously against Jesus of Nazareth being the Christ and ready to expel whoever profess faith in Jesus out of the synagogues even plan to kill him, Nicodemus visited Jesus to have a one on one discussion to learn about God's Kingdom from this same vilified Nazarene, not only that Nicodemus tried to defend Jesus in the Assembly of the Jewish high court!
Surely Nicodemus had faith in God and Christ but if it's about salvation through a unique group that is indisputable otherwise the Scriptures won't emphasize on a group name "CHRISTIANS" in the midst of several religious groups in the first century Jewish community! smiley

The word is not limited to Christianity. It’s an English word not Christian word.
It's not even written anywhere in the Bible! smiley

AdventHero:
The salvation offered by Christ is a personal fellowship with God. Each of us has to work out and safeguard our the redemption we have received through Christ. Being under any denomination does nothing to include or exclude you ---- your life will tell where your heart lies; with God or for falsehood
How i wish this is true?
Then i would have remained a Muslim, believe in Jesus of Nazareth and continue worshiping God with what i believes about all His prophets. But it's a lie!

Salvation can only be attained through a group that's why Jesus told man who believe him and the laws that this man must join Jesus' group before he can be saved! Luke 18:18-23

Nicodemus was a Pharisee and he believe in Jesus but can he be saved based on his faith alone without WORKING with Jesus' group?

Paul latter accepted Jesus as Lord and Christ, but can he gain salvation without joining Jesus' group to WORK with them?

The answer is NO!

Christianity only becomes personal after you have IDENTIFIED the group practicing what Jesus taught because there are lots and lots of Satan's agents out there claiming CHRISTIANS {Matthew 24:11 compare to 7:21-23} are not just joking Sir, they're out there to drag as many as possible to the broad road! Matthew 7:13-14

So you need to IDENTIFY the group practicing what Jesus taught and WORK OUT your salvation in their midst otherwise there's no way you can singlehandedly practice what Jesus taught when you're not with the right group! smiley

Johndickson500:
WHAT MAKES A SUCCESSFUL CHRISTIAN MEETING?
That a meeting was successful is not how much offering was raised.
It is:
How many souls were saved.
How many understood the Bible more clearly.
Bodies healed.
Demons cast out/ people delivered.
There are Bible frameworks for measuring a successful meeting.
Ministry is not a profit and loss account neither debit and credit.

According to God's word (Bible) you are wrong!

There was nothing called CHRISTIANS before the coming of Jesus of Nazareth so it was his teachings that led to the formation of a group known as "CHRISTIANS" due to their activities in an ancient city called Antioch! Act 11:26

So back to your question:

What makes a SUCCESSFUL Christian meeting?

Jesus said he who is known as "CHRIST" is like a tree planted by God {John 15:1} his disciples are the branches! John 15:5

In another instance Jesus likens pure worship to a tree that produces a unique kind of fruit that no other tree (false religions) can produce! Matthew 7:16-18

So how do we IDENTIFY the true Christian group today?

Note that the Bible talked about two different aspects of a tree: GIFTS and FRUIT
A tree may have GIFTS that is similar to what other trees possesses like:
© Huge leaves under which we can get cool breeze during a sunny day.
© Fragrance that's sweet.
© Leaves and roots good for healing.
© Big stem that can withstand a windstorm.
© Strong branches where children can play.
And many more GIFTS
But it can only produce one kind of FRUIT!
That's why the Bible talked about GIFTS of the Spirit {1Corinthians 12:1} and FRUIT of the spirit! Galatians 5:22-23

Note the use of plural when taking about GIFTS but singular referring to FRUIT.

So there are many as in lots of false religions having the same kind of GIFTS like Christianity but they can never produce the same FRUIT like Christianity, that's why Jesus Christ said:

“Be on the watch for the false prophets who come to you in sheep’s covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they" Matthew 7:15-16

So each religion can only produce the FRUIT of it's kind they can't produce what Christianity will produce. Matthew 7:16-18

The reason is because it's not angels that will practice this religions but imperfect humans so if God's Holy Spirit is not in their meetings they will only produce the WORKS of FLESH which truly are {Galatians 5:19-21} but if God's Holy Spirit is in their midst representing Jesus of Nazareth {Matthew 18:20} then you will begin to notice the FRUIT of the spirit in the meetings of imperfection humans! Galatians 5:22-23

That's the only way to IDENTIFY a true Christian meeting.

God bless you and may you have PEACE! smiley

AntiChristian:
Do Christians treat Moses same way as they treat Jesus despite them claiming Jesus to be like Moses? And such ain't brainwashing!
You have to keep telling lies to cover the previous lies.
We pray for all of them. That's the truth!
Moses was the prophet the Israelites God used as mediator between Himself and Israel so no Christian has any business with Moses.
Jesus CHRIST is the mediator between the God of Israel and the whole world that's why those who truly PRACTICE what CHRIST taught are called "CHRISTIANS" Act 11:26 compare to Act 1:8
So get your facts right, no prophet of God is called a (Muslim) in the Bible neither was there anything called ISLAM.

If Moses and Muhammad came from the same nation it will make sense liken him to those prophets but your Muhammad is just like Guru Maharaji in Ìbàdàn who claims he's the perfect living master of our time. Know today that his followers are presently penning down scriptures about his deeds so when Guru Maharaji dies such a book will be taken to many places just as Arabs are doing for your Muhammad.
The only way to know which religion is teaching the truth is not by emphasizing on a book written by humans like you and i because books may lie but God will not lie by presenting a group of imperfection humans like you and i practicing the religion of PEACE (SALAM) it's after SEEING the PEACE that reigns in the midst of true believers that your book could make sense {Matthew 5:14-16; 7:16-18} not when your religion failed to transform those reading your book yet you're crying that it's from God! undecided

What the Bible says!

Mankind's permanent destination is planet earth this is where God created for fleshy bodies to live {Psalms 115:16} so all servants of God had a hope of standing up again (resurrection) when God is finally done with evildoers {Job 14:13-15 compare to Psalms 16:10} so be rest assured that there is going to be a resurrection of the dead! John 5:28-29 compare to Act 24:15


If this is what God's word teaches then why do most people think of going to heaven (a place not designed for flesh)?
God planned to restore sanity on planet earth through a theocratic government to be headed by the most righteous king of all times {Isaiah 9:6-7} the central unit of control for this government supposed to be Jerusalem and the Israelites (descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) were to be co-rulers with this king! Isaiah 2:2-3; Micah 4:1-2
This promised King will not inherit Adamic sin so he mustn't be from the bloodline of Adam but since his earthly mission is to help mankind he must be a human by nature. Luke 1:35
The Israelites has been waiting to receive this promised King right from the time of Moses when God promised the King will come from their nation! Deuteronomy 18:18-19
But due to selfish cravings they lost hope in the mission of this righteous king so by the time he arrived in their midst they have killed many of the prophets teaching to put faith in God's Kingdom, so when their promised King arrived he broke a sad news for them that their nation has lost the privilege due to their faithlessness! Matthew 21:43; 23:37-38
His disciples were terrified with this news so they keep asking him what will become of them after all they are Israelites and faithful to the course {Matthew 19:27} Jesus promised them that they will be counted worthy of the price if they maintain their faith to the end {Matthew 19:28} but then the capital city of the Kingdom will no longer be on planet earth, rather it will be in heaven where Jesus himself came from! John 14:1-4

So contrary to the misconception of many religionists only a limited number {Revelations 14:1} among Jesus' disciples will join him in heaven to rule over the earth where countless subject will be! Revelations 14:6

May you have PEACE! smiley

Any religion that thoroughly emphasize on what you're saying will be vilified everywhere so no religious group does so with action except Jehovah's Witnesses, all others only say this but their words lacks the backing of actions to prove they truly mean what they're saying. undecided
