    Psalm 37:9-11

    New King James Version (NKJV)

    9 For evildoers shall be cut off;

    But those who wait on the Lord,

    They shall inherit the earth.

    10 For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;

    Indeed, you will look carefully for his place,

    But it shall be no more.

    11 But the meek shall inherit the earth,

    And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

    Psalm 37:29

  • Carpet Cleaning Chemicals?

    Hi

    I use the Alltec carpet cleaning machine, and just wondering which carpet cleaning solution is the best to use and safe to use on all carpets including pure wool. I have had some people say M-Power is one of the best but it's so expensive.

    What do you guys recommend. It has to be good for real dirty carpets too and as a pre-spray.

    I live in the UK.

    Thanks

  • Why do some people think we go to Heaven when we die?

    or to be tormented (Hell) day and night by the Devil if we are bad..

    Yet at the . This is what the Bible says: “As the [beast] dies, so the [man] dies; and they all have but one spirit . . . All are going to one place. They have all come to be from the dust, and they are all returning to the dust.” (Ecclesiastes 3:19, 20)

    It says "ALL" not some.. so why the thought we go to Heaven?

    Thanks, and no thumbs down given from me.

  • Is this the True meaning of Christmas John 17:3?

    Which reads, This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.

    So the true meaning of Christmas is LOVE?!

    Is that correct or is there another meaning behind Christmas, if any meaning at all?!

  • This is another Scripture that proves Jesus is God?

    John 14:31, but, in order for the world to know that I love the Father, even as the Father has given me commandment [to do], so I am doing. Get up, let us go from here

    So this is God talking about himself, giving himself a new commandment???

  • Jehovah's Witnesses, would you agree....?

    that with all the hatred twisted questions and some answers given by those who hate us is a positive and no doubt works in Jehovah's favor, as these ones are fulfilling bible prophecy!

    John 15:18-19, If the world hates YOU, YOU know that it has hated me before it hated YOU. 19 If YOU were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because YOU are no part of the world, but I have chosen YOU out of the world, on this account the world hates YOU.

    John 4:4-6, YOU originate with God, little children, and YOU have conquered those [persons], because he that is in union with YOU is greater than he that is in union with the world. 5 They originate with the world; that is why they speak [what proceeds] from the world and the world listens to them. 6 We originate with God. He that gains the knowledge of God listens to us; he that does not originate with God does not listen to us. This is how we take note of the inspired expression of truth and the inspired expression of error.

    No doubt the hatred shown by those who hate us and Jehovah can stir an interest in some which can lead them getting to know and love Jehovah the we do?!

    Have you any experiences in this working in Jehovah's favor?

  • Does this scripture show Jesus is God?

    John 16:32 reads, (bottom of the verse) NIV, Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.

    KJ: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

    AMP: Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me

    Does this passage of scripture prove Jesus is God?

  • All things have been delivered to me by my Father?

    In the book of Matthew 11:27 it reads, All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one fully knows the Son but the Father, neither does anyone fully know the Father but the Son and anyone to whom the Son is willing to reveal him.

    (John 3:35) The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.

    (John 17:2) according as you have given him authority over all flesh, that, as regards the whole [number] whom you have given him, he may give them everlasting life.

    (1 Corinthians 15:27) For [God] “subjected all things under his feet.” But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that it is with the exception of the one who subjected all things to him.

    So how can Jesus be God?!

  • When Adam and Eve Sinned...?

    In the book of Gen 2;16-17 it reads, “From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. 17 But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die.”

    If we have a soul that goes off to Hell if we are bad or heaven if we are good, then why didn't this passage read:

    “From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. 17 But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die, and your soul will go to Hell to be tormented by the Devil”

    or say: “From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. 17 But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die. But your soul will come to me in heaven and we will be together for ever”?

    What is the "Soul"?

  • Someone has said Jehovah's Witnesses are not Christian?

    because they do not accept Jesus Christ as God.

    Yet evidence shows were the trinity comes from.. So who is wrong and who is right?!

    Neither the word Trinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Hebrew Scriptures: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord” (Deuteronomy 6:4). The earliest Christians, however, had to cope with the implications of the coming of Jesus Christ and of the presumed presence and power of God among them—i.e., the Holy Spirit, whose coming was connected with the celebration of the Pentecost. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were associated in such New Testament passages as the Great Commission: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19); and in the apostolic benediction: “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all” (2 Corinthians 13:14). Thus, the New Testament established the basis for the doctrine of the Trinity.

    The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies. Initially, both the requirements of monotheism inherited from the Hebrew Scriptures and the implications of the need to interpret the biblical teaching to Greco-Roman religions seemed to demand that the divine in Christ as the Word, or Logos, be interpreted as subordinate to the Supreme Being. An alternative solution was to interpret Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three modes of the self-disclosure of the one God but not as distinct within the being of God itself.

    The first tendency recognized the distinctness among the three, but at the cost of their equality and hence of their unity (subordinationism); the second came to terms with their unity, but at the cost of their distinctness as “persons” (modalism). It was not until the 4th century that the distinctness of the three and their unity were brought together in a single orthodox doctrine of one essence and three persons.

    The Council of Nicaea in 325 stated the crucial formula for that doctrine in its confession that the Son is “of the same substance [homoousios] as the Father,” even though it said very little about the Holy Spirit. Over the next half century, Athanasius defended and refined the Nicene formula, and, by the end of the 4th century, under the leadership of Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nyssa, and Gregory of Nazianzus (the Cappadocian Fathers), the doctrine of the Trinity took substantially the form it has maintained ever since. It is accepted in all of the historic confessions of Christianity, even though the impact of the Enlightenment decreased its importance.

  • "If" When we die, if we are good we go to heaven, or if we are bad then we go to hell?

    to be tormented by the devil... yet the bible say's at Psalms 146:4 His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; In that day his thoughts do perish

    and at Ecclesiastes 3:20 All are going to one place. They have all come to be from the dust, and they are all returning to the dust.

    Then at Genesis 3:19) In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.

    Jesus Christ spoke about the condition of the dead. He did so with regard to Lazarus, a man whom he knew well and who had died. Jesus told his disciples: “Lazarus our friend has gone to rest.” The disciples thought that Jesus meant that Lazarus was resting in sleep, recovering from an illness. They were wrong. Jesus explained: “Lazarus has died.” (John 11:11-14) Notice that Jesus compared death to rest and sleep. Lazarus was neither in heaven nor in a burning hell. He was not meeting angels or ancestors. Lazarus was not being reborn as another human. He was at rest in death, as though in a deep sleep without dreams. Other scriptures also compare death to sleep. For example, when the disciple Stephen was stoned to death, the Bible says that he “fell asleep.” (Acts 7:60) Similarly, the apostle Paul wrote about some in his day who had “fallen asleep” in death.—1 Corinthians 15:6.

    So why do some say otherwise when the scriptures tell us what really happens to us when we die?

  • God’s clear direction is not to use images of any sort when worshiping him?

    So why do so many faiths use images in their worship to God?

    Exodus 20:4-5

    New International Version (NIV) 4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,

    Exodus 20:4-5

    Amplified Bible (AMP) 4 You shall not make yourself any graven image [to worship it] or any likeness of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;

    5 You shall not bow down yourself to them or serve them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me,

    If it's the case well it "makes me feel good" or "closer to God", then should we not have anything to do with idols/images in our worship to God, after all its his will not our will that counts!

  • Who has given who authority , and who sent who? God sent God and gave himself authority?

    John 5:25-30 reads (NIV), I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man. 28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned. 30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.

    Who is or whom are these verses talking about?
