Faithless miscreant, those are illustrations not literal words!

If you want to know the meaning all you need to do is ask for a free home Bible study with JWs and we will TEACH you.

Janosky:
1 Corinthians7:1-2 & Matthew 19:4-6,Did God forbid marriage?
No !

But,James 4:4, Jeremiah 2:2 ,Ezekiel 16:32, did God equate idolatry, defilement with the world as sexual immorality?
Yes !
In that sense, the 144000 are virgins.

James 4:4
"Adulterers and adultresses , do you not know that friendship with the world is enemity with God?"

Jeremiah 2:2
"Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem that this is what the LORD says: 'I remember the devotion of your youth, your love as a bride, how you followed Me in the wilderness, in a land not sown.

Ezekiel 16:32
"You adulterous wife! You receive strangers instead of your own husband"


Revelation 14:1-4 is saying that the 144000 have NOT defiled themselves with women (sexual immorality with women they are not married to ) & spiritual defilement with the scarlet colour Woman riding atop the wild beast nor the world's political system, John 17:16.

Janosky:
Revelation 14:1-4, Revelation 5:10 & Revelation 1:5-6, sifia pains to WAILERS.

ebubeson:
A former friend of mine told me long time ago, how a guy slept with his former babe when she came to drop wedding invitation card.

If you like, keep enjoying yourselves and keep enjoying your cheating. It is a free world...

MaxInDHouse:
Misinformed Churchgoer!

So now you know that Jesus is the one speaking in the Bible book of Revelation.

Next time don't jump into discussion with JWs we know far far far better than all your pastors put together!

MaxInDHouse:
I know you're just here to support faithless people.

Jesus is the one speaking in the Bible book of Revelation:

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly, come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Revelations 1:1 ~ Holy Bible

MaxInDHouse:
Jesus is talking in parables here so this is what he meant by that statement.

Those to be chosen never practiced interfaith they stick to their belief in one God one organization!

NNTR:
Its nothing about me, but all about did you make yourself unambiguous in the video Of course you didnt

Conceit is self-given, be careful

To attempt to advise self conceit person is like whistling against the wind

Good bye and good riddance

Malicious questions? Smh. Pfft.

You owe me no explaining to do, instead go do your explanation directly on the YT video

Yeah, you are right, your focus is your customary navel-gazing obsession and nothing will distract you from your elaborate exercises, in navel-gazing

No one knocked the message you passed, it's how you passed an element in the message that was drawn to your attention, but you are almighty teach, how dare anyone throw spot lights on your video

We are beginning to see the reason for the pushback

Its so say, you weren't explicit, meaning, in the video, you didnt state clearly and in detail, to your intended audience, what you meant with saying: '... and caused the earth, which God filled with good things to become empty, earth became empty of good, earth became empty ... '

I know what you meant, I understand, but this cant necessarily, honestly sincerely and truthfully be said about your intended and/or targeted audience


In the video, you said '... and caused the earth, which God filled with good things to become empty, earth became empty of good, earth became empty ... ' then in trying to justify and defend the comment, you resorted to making an unsubstantiated statement, saying that 'God, said the earth shall not produce good unto Adam'

If you want a conversation, then kindly say, where in the bible, did you find God say to Adam, that, the earth shall not produce good to him?

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

NNTR:
Inexactness. You see that? Thats what the point is all about.

The obscurity in '... and caused the earth, which God filled with good things to become empty, earth became empty of good, earth became empty ... ' is the point you're digging your heels in

Of course, yes, thy will see, being they are mind readers

You constantly amaze me, but not in any particularly good way.
No, its not simple enough, this is rocket science stuff. Its too much for me

I did not call you a clown, but whoever the cap fits, wear

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

NNTR:
You clearly have issues with owning up to, that, in the video, you did not say what exactly, is the good, that you alleged was absent from earth

Its like as if your whole life will fall apart, if honestly and truthfully, admit that you did not explicitly say anywhere in the video what sort of good, allegedly was absent on earth

I am not offended, just wondering why keep making a dumb request.
Its only clown who'll jokingly say, the video was not fully watched

What part in the inverted double commas remark, dont you understand :
''Watched the clip and safely can critically say, about it and tell you that, it is an actual interpretation of the account of creation in Genesis, albeit with slight caveat or inaccuracy

The inaccuracy, in the clip, has to do with where, it said that '... and caused the earth, which God filled with good things to become empty, earth became empty of good, earth became empty ...' ''

Where from have you conjured up church to now associate me with it. Hmm?

Smh. I bite my tongue. Pfft.

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

NNTR:
I dont need to re-watch the clip.

I have obliged you by looking at the video critically, just as you solicited.
I even went, above and beyond, with pasting screenshot grabs to show you what critically was lacking or inadequate in the video

Who are the targeted audience the video was uploaded for?
If you should put yourself in the seat of your target audience, do you honestly believe, they will understand what the video is saying, especially the bit where you said in the video that 'the earth became empty of good' Hmm?

You are that so wrapped up in yourself, you think, this is about teaching. Pfft

Are you dyslexic?
How many times do I have to let on, that, I dont do arguments. Hmm?
Oh, you're a teacher now. Good why we go-fund raise capital to build, teach a classroom.

Word is cheap, I'll believe you're open to learning from others, when I see the answer to the below questions you've dodged

1. Did you in the video, say what exactly, is the good, that was absent from earth?
2. Can you honestly and truthfully, tell, if you explicitly said in the video what sort of good, allegedly was absent on earth?
3. Please provide where in the bible, 'God, said the earth shall not produce good unto Adam'

Individualy, 'jumping here and there' and 'shouting', individually are good exercises, for the body and the throat (i.e. voice) respectively.

Smh. I dont blame a clown, for acting like a clown, I blame myself, for stepping into the circus

Confused? Smh Pff.
Yeah, you're absolutely right.
Yes, I am confused, the same way I am confused with the Tree of Life too

Will you now, please provide where in the bible, 'God, said the earth shall not produce good unto Adam. Thanks

Genesis 2:9
And [in that garden] the LORD God caused to grow from the ground every tree that is desirable
and pleasing to the sight and good (suitable, pleasant) for food;
the tree of life was also in the midst of the garden,
and the tree of the [experiential] knowledge (recognition) of [the difference between] good and evil

Kk, I've gotten used to you skipping answering questions and even, can live with you not providing where in the bible, 'God, said the earth shall not produce good unto Adam'

Now, will please, tell, not from dictionary, what, good, in Genesis 2:9, interpreted from the original text, means

Smh, still evade responding correctly to the binary question, instead, went off on a tangent again and giving irrelevant replies

Dont be telling 'check your dictionary dear friend'
You're having a go trying to insult my intelligence. That besides, throwing subtle shades and even being condescending

If the sacrifice Abel offered is not good, was it evil then?
Was it bad, hmm? Was it wrong?

'... bc it just knowledge. Knowledge is not something substantial'? Smh

Smh.

You cant handle 'look at this critically'

What, if not conversation, do you think has been going on between us? Hmm?

I never do argument(s), and if you didnt know, it simply is because, an argument, involves an exchange of ignorance for another ignorance. Now since I am well clued up on this subject, I have no ignorance to peddle with in an argument exchange trade

Now with all due respect, I trust you arent, accusing me of calling you names

We see below six 'God saw ..., that it was good' check marks (i.e. Genesis 1:4, 10, 12, 18, 21, 25), and even, see the complete absence of the 'it was very good' impression being specifically used for man, instead at Genesis 1:31, what we have is an umbrella good encapsulated in the 'Then God looked over all He had made, and He saw that it was very good!' comment

Please provide where in the bible, 'God, said the earth shall not produce good unto Adam'

Smh, I'll kindly re-ask you the below questions you conveniently ignored, and instead opted to using up your energy again, going off on another tangent, being comical and even forming you want to educate et cetera

1. Did you in the video, say what exactly is the good that was absent from earth?
2. Can you honestly and truthfully, tell, if you explicitly said in the video what sort of good, allegedly was absent on earth?

The evidences are in plain sight below

True friends will give you honest criticism(s), not to, put you down, but rather have you, end up better and smell of roses

You would have loved to continue this conversation without being confronted with being told of the inadequacy part in the video

Only a true friend will be truly honest with you. If you want a rainbow, be prepared, to get put up with the rain.

It is not degenerating into an argument, neither not in to whether you are right or you are wrong, but do see how true it is that honest criticism can turn dangerous, simply because it potentially can wound a person's precious pride, hurt their feelings, their his sense of importance and even develop into resentment

Did you in the video, say what exactly is the good that was absent from earth?
Can you honestly and truthfully, tell, if you explicitly said in the video what sort of good, allegedly was absent on earth?

Dont let compliments go to your head, and dont let constructive criticisms get to your heart.

Only two people will tell you a honest truth about yourself. Someone who is angry with you and someone who loves you very much

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

NNTR:
Not so much a case of me explaining myself, but more of explaining where you should be aware, of slight shortcoming(s) in the video void

Genesis 1:2
The earth was formless and void or a waste and emptiness, (i.e. was empty)
and darkness was upon the face of the deep
[primeval ocean that covered the unformed earth].
The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters.

God decided to create copies of Himself in the person of human beings that will physically represent His image and mentally represent His likeness, however, there were no homo sapiens on earth at the time to start with, meaning, at that time, the earth was empty, as in meaning, was empty of homo sapiens pka human beings and so required the earth to be refilled with human beings, with Adam and Eve, in their capacities as templates to kick start producing innumerable amount of human beings

If you are asking if 'the earth was still empty', then you need to be specific and spell out, exactly what it is, you think the earth is empty off

Depending on the context used, good has multiple meanings. For example, what do you know that the word 'good' means, where used in the symbolic Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil?

It means that just that and quite a lot more things too

Kk, if the earth really was empty of good, how was Abel capable of doing the right thing, capable of doing the acceptable thing, capable of doing something good thats pleasing to God then. Hmm?

Kk, let me up the ante a bit, with this twist and turn on the Tree of Knowledge of good and Evil (i.e. TKGE)

There's this old Cherokee tribal chief teaching his grandson about life. One evening, he told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

He said, "My son, a fight is going on and the battle is between two 'Wolves' inside me..

One is Evil. It is Anger, Envy, Jealousy, Doubt, Sorrow, Regret, Greed, Arrogance, Self-pity, Guilt, Resentment, Inferiority, Lies, False Pride, Superiority and Ego. The other is, Good. It is Joy, Peace, Love, Hope, Serenity, Humility, Kindness, Benevolence, Empathy, Generosity, Forgiveness, Truth, Compassion and Faith. The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too, he further said.

The grandson thought about it, for a minute and then asked his grandfather:
Which wolf wins? The Good? Or Evil?

The old Cherokee chief, smiled, then simply replied, 'The one you feed'

Wrong question

Even you are mistaking rebirth, restoration and even revival with replenish.

Man, never to start with were created in the likeness of the Godhead. This quality was meant to be a continuum, and is the reason behind why it is omitted in Genesis 1:27, though it is mentioned to be part of the plan, desire and destiny in Genesis 1:26

The inaccuracy, in the clip, had to do with where, it said that '... and caused the earth, which God filled with good things to become empty, earth became empty of good, earth became empty ...', now since you didnt in the video, clarify what you meant by 'empty of good', then pardon the repeat, so with the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil still present and existing, one easily can see from that respect, how your comment (i.e. ... earth became empty of good) clashes with this fact.

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

It actually is your second (i.e. second uploaded video)

Nothing worthwhile or of worth, comes easily. Its from the legacy of fall from grace to grass

You can take up the tips, if you do decide to audio clips that you want hearing challenged then add caption or subtitles. As said this will increase your clip's YouTube index ranking (i.e. increase your video's chance in easily be watched)

Its a case of, give credit where credit is due

It is because the word empty, construes 'containing nothing', 'not filled' or 'not occupied' et cetera

Wasn’t the earth empty of the glory of God?C'mon now, nowhere in that clip, did you say or use the phrase 'empty of the glory of God'

You didnt clarify what you meant by 'empty of good'. I repeat the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil was still present and existing, so with that alone, you can see how your comment (i.e. ... earth became empty of good) clashes with this fact

Didn’t everything start to produce evil unto Adam?Eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, will not only produce an avenue to experience everything that is evil, but will conversely, produce an avenue to experience everything that is good too.

I also enjoy your idea about Abel, however, that also raises the question why they needed to offer sacrifice if the earth wasn’t empty.Genesis 4:7
'You will be accepted if you do what is right.
But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out!
Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you.
But you must subdue it and be its master.”'

They offered sacrifice(s) because it is the right and acceptable thing to do. Yes, obedience is better than sacrifice, however at this point sacrifice offering was pleasing to God

I appreciate your insight so pls don’t see any part of this as a provocation pls.Hebrews 3:8
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation,
Like as in the day of the temptation in the wilderness,

Writing, is a provocation, essentially, provoke the intellect

If you do decide, to give a narration or make commentary accompanying videos in the future, then I'll suggest you have subtitles or caption made available on the videos.

Please watch the above clip, so to learn from it, and know how to go about, transcribe the content of your future commentary videos. The advantage for, having it, first, is, you're widening your audience net (e.g. hearing impaired can see and read) and second, your YouTube index ranking for the video having this feature put in, will shoot up.

Kk, that being said, back to the main matter on hand. Watched the clip and safely can critically say about it and tell you that this, it is an actual interpretation of the account of creation in Genesis, albeit with slight caveat or inaccuracy

The inaccuracy, in the clip, has to do with where, it said that '... and caused the earth, which God filled with good things to become empty, earth became empty of good, earth became empty ...'

Saying it that way, is at variance with the existence of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The earth wasnt emptied. It wasnt even emptied of good or goodness. The earth never produced only evil. It is because of doing something good that Abel was killed

The earth always was capable of producing good and evil. It only required the fruit of the Tree of knowledge of Good and Evil, to be stolen and then eaten, for the release of everything that you can think of, that its beautiful and adversity (i.e. prosperity and hardship) to be unleashed
