I'm 100% sure you're still going to admire me a million times again and again so stop deceiving yourself saying LAST TIME because you can't stop admiring intelligence!

MaxInDHouse:
Present this people who has God's laws written in their hearts nah.

I present to the world the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses:



Deal with it!

Kobojunkie:
Shoo fly, don't bother me! 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Kobojunkie:
You have yet to this very day you still don't realize that the YHWH made it abundantly clear in the book that He is God only over Israel -- the very people He named Himself, chose a land for and even designed an Eternal Constitution for? Keep deceiving yourself then! When you are done, let us all know. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Kobojunkie:
If your plan is not to wait forever I suggest you instead take to reading the books for yourself same as I tell all the other religious nutjobs so you learn what is in fact written in it.

Kobojunkie:
You are joking, right? You don't know what was promised but you have strong arguments against it?

Kobojunkie:
He did promise to send His Son, but you, a Nigerian, conveniently declared Him and His Prophets liars. For what purpose?

Maximus692:
The answer is found in the rest of Isaiah's writing:

Those given that old covenant broke it that's why they can't live in harmony along with that covenant but this new one will be written in the hearts of the adherents so they will live together peacefully just as it's befitting for people who has laws written in their hearts! Isaiah 2:2-4

That is exactly what Jesus came to work out in the midst of imperfect humans and it's at work now in the gathering of true believers globally just as Isaiah and Micah prophesied, these people from different nations are living in peace and God began calling them by another group name:
JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! Isaiah 65:15

You can't find any organized people who are living in harmony with that first covenant because it has been replaced but as for the second covenant look at JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! John 17:22

Maximus692:
You are dodging the simple question!

Did God promise another covenant?

YES or NO!

Ubenedictus:
still no serapis

Maximus692:
Did God promise another covenant?

penearth:
He is a president of Vatican city. They are called "papacy swiss guards"

Ubenedictus:
Nothing Serapis there

Maximus692:
Sonmvayina!

God said He will change the old laws for a better one! Jeremiah 31:33

I appreciate your passion, but I disagree with your conclusions.

First, your interpretation of idolatry seems to overlook the distinction between worshipping an image as God and recognizing that God manifested in human form through Jesus. The incarnation isn’t about creating a god in man’s image, but about God choosing to reveal Himself in a way we could understand. That’s not idolatry, it’s divine mercy.

As for the prophecies, I’ll gladly share a couple. Isaiah 53 clearly describes a suffering servant who bears the sins of others, this has been historically understood by many, even ancient Jewish scholars, as messianic. Psalm 22 speaks of one who is pierced, surrounded by mockers, whose garments are divided, this isn’t random imagery. Micah 5:2 speaks of a ruler from Bethlehem whose origins are from of old. These are just a few among many.

You’re right that life is about choices. I’ve chosen to follow Jesus not out of ignorance, but after study, prayer, and experience. If you’re open to genuine dialogue rather than mockery, I’d be glad to continue. But if your aim is just to teach without listening, then this won’t be fruitful.

I pray that, in time, we both grow in truth and humility.

Thankgod89:
From your message, I understand that you don’t believe in our Lord Jesus. I won’t try to argue by pointing to various prophecies or shadows of Christ in the Old Testament that we hold to be true. Still, the word of God stands firm. Christ was not sent as an insult or mockery of God, but as the fulfillment of His promise.

You are free to worship your Creator and follow His commandments as you understand them.

Though we see things differently, I believe these kinds of discussions are meaningful. They push us to seek, study, and draw nearer to the truth. And for me, Christ is the truth.

Thankgod89:
To us who believe in Him, He is not just a man to be compared with anyone else, but the manifestation of God’s love, mercy, and truth. Worshipping Him is not idolatry—it is acknowledging God revealed in His fullness.

I say this with respect: just as you feel your view honors God, I believe mine does too. We may see things differently, but I'm always open to honest dialogue rooted in truth and Christ is the truth.

Thankgod89:
The Jewish Scriptures clearly point forward to something greater—a promised Messiah and a new covenant. As it is written in Jeremiah 31:31, “Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah.” This covenant reveals a deeper unfolding of God’s plan for salvation—not only for Israel, but for all nations.

Jesus did not come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets, but to fulfill them. As He said in Matthew 5:17, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” The New Testament does not contradict the Old—it completes the story God began.

I repeat: while we may see things differently, I am fully convinced that Jesus is not a pagan concept or a man-made idea. He is the Word of God made flesh, the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets, and the Savior of the world. The Spirit of God within me bears witness—I know whom I serve.

Truth matters. And I pray that we both continue to seek it with sincere and humble hearts.

Jesus is the truth. John 14:6

Thankgod89:
From Psalm 104:29-31where you quoted speaks of God’s Spirit (or breath) giving life and withdrawing it at death. It shows that life itself is fully dependent on God. But to answer your question, what remains?—the answer lies in understanding that humans aren’t just a mix of body and breath; we are living souls (Genesis 2:7).

When God formed man from the dust and breathed into him, man became a living soul—not that he had a soul, but he became one. At death, the elements separate:

The body returns to dust, The breath/spirit (the life-force) returns to God, But the soul—the person, the consciousness—ceases to function.

Until the resurrection, there's no awareness or activity (Ecclesiastes 9:5, “the dead know nothing”). So what’s “remaining” isn’t a separate part floating around—it's the record of who we are kept by God, and we await resurrection for judgment or eternal life Daniel 12:2 - And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt..

The soul doesn't live on independently—it sleeps in death, waiting for God to awaken it at the appointed time.

Thankgod89:
I hear your point, but let’s weigh it against what Scripture actually says.

The Bible teaches resurrection, not reincarnation.

John 5:28–29 – “Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”

Daniel 12:2 – “And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.”

These verses are clear: after death, people sleep in the grave—not roam or reincarnate—and will be raised by God at the appointed time, either to life or to judgment.

Thankgod89:
[b]I respect your desire to honor God, and I agree. He calls us to repent, confess, and turn from wickedness (2 Chronicles 7:14), and He is merciful to forgive. [/b]But let’s look deeper into how God chose to bring that ultimate healing.

Jesus isn't a mockery of God. He is the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan from the beginning. He wasn’t created by Rome; He was foretold long before Rome existed:

Isaiah 53:5–6 – “He was wounded for our transgressions... and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”

Psalm 22, written by David centuries before Jesus, describes crucifixion in detail—long before it was even invented.

Daniel 9:26 says “the Anointed One shall be cut off, but not for Himself.” That’s not a Roman creation—that’s prophecy.


You’re right, God doesn’t need human sacrifice in the pagan sense. But Jesus wasn’t just a man. According to Scripture, He is the Word of God made flesh (John 1:14), sent out of love to take our place.

Rejecting Jesus doesn’t honor God—it rejects the very gift God gave to save us. It’s not about advising God—it’s about humbling ourselves to receive what He already planned.

God’s forgiveness is free, but it’s not cheap—it cost something. And Jesus was that willing sacrifice.

Why would I try to advise God ? His Word is perfect and true. Just take a moment to really think about that.

How do you know there's a spirit realm

Bro, take a breath—you’re speaking boldly, but you’re missing some key understanding.

Ecclesiastes 12:7 does say, “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.” That “spirit returning to God” refers to the life-giving breath God breathed into man (see Genesis 2:7). When someone dies, that breath—our very life—goes back to the One who gave it.

2 But that doesn’t mean every spirit automatically enters heaven or stands in God’s favor. It simply means the life is no longer with the body. Judgment still follows, as made clear in Hebrews 9:27: “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”

See this, Ecclesiastes 12:14 - For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

3 Ecclesiastes is reflecting on the reality of death—not giving a full theology on the afterlife. It’s a poetic reminder of life’s fragility, not a statement about who is saved or judged.

4 And as for Jesus—He’s not a pagan concept. He is the centerpiece of God’s redemptive plan, threaded all through Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation.

[b]Yes, man did incur death by eating from the tree—[/b]but Scripture doesn’t stop there. If death were just a return to dust with no further consequence, then why would Christ speak so clearly about resurrection, judgment, and eternal life? Why would He rise from the dead at all?

Genesis speaks of physical death—“dust to dust”—but throughout the rest of the Bible, there's a clear message that life continues beyond the grave, and that our choices here matter eternally. Hebrews 9:27 says, “It is appointed unto man once to die, and after this, judgment.”

God’s breath in us isn’t just a spark for temporary experience—it’s a deposit of something eternal. Jesus didn’t die and rise just to make our earthly experience nicer; He did it to restore what was lost—relationship, purpose, and eternal life.

There is more, and the resurrection is proof that death is not the end.
