    But you claim the word Jew is a made name up because the letter "J".  The readers should  know your stance against, Jehovah, Jesus, and the Jews.
    I find it quite hypocritical when you quote scripture from the Book of John, but believe John is a false and made up name because the letter, "J".   Can one conclude from your hypocrisy that Jerusalem doesn't exist either??
    Maybe your Name James or Julie doesn't exist?  Everything is in vain for you so you continue your weeping and gnashing...

    That makes as much sense as sayin that because prostitutes wear high heel shoes, that women that wear high heel shoes must be prostitutes.

    Jesus the Chief Cornerstone is Jehovah's Faithful Witness. 
    Revelation 1:5
    and from Jesus Christ, “the Faithful Witness,” “the firstborn from the dead,” and “the Ruler of the kings of the earth.” To him who loves us and who set us free from our sins by means of his Own Blood—

    The Bible foretold not only the serious problems we now face but also the better times we can expect soon. It describes a future that is way beyond what human governments could hope to achieve, one that only God can provide. “He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.”—Revelation 21:4.
    Jehovah’s Witnesses take comfort in the Bible’s promises of a bright future, and this helps them to see beyond the pandemic. They also support one another by obeying the Bible’s command to gather regularly for worship. (Hebrews 10:24, 25) Everyone is welcome to attend the meetings of Jehovah’s Witnesses, which are being held virtually during the pandemic.
    Others agree that joining together with Jehovah’s Witnesses for worship has been helpful during these difficult times. For example, a woman infected with COVID-19 accepted an invitation to join Jehovah’s Witnesses’ virtual meetings.
    These meetings helped her emotionally despite her ongoing health issues from the virus. She later said: “I feel that I am part of this family too. Reading the Bible gives me peace of mind and inner calm. It helps me focus on my hope for the future instead of my problems. Thank you for helping me find that connection with God that I have sought all my life.”

    Once again, I don’t believe the bible has discrepancies. I believe we are the ones that make those discrepancies manifest. A commentator used 1 Corinthians 3:16 as a point of reference. This particular passage refers, not only to the anointed, but to all those that become slaves of God.
    Romans 6:16, Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 3:9, 1 Corinthians 3:17, 2 Corinthians 6:16.
    This passage refers to a point in time when we all exist as humans. It would be inappropriate to use this passage to mean when the saints are ruling in heaven with Christ.
    In my understanding, this passage cannot be linked to the 1000-year reign, mentioned in Revelation 20:7-8. So, I would avoid such a man-made discrepancy.
    If autocorrect incorrectly places a comma where it shouldn’t be, I’m not the developer of this software.
    If anyone has a better suggestion on a good English grammar software, please advise me, thanks.
    I also find no need to discredit those that apply the bible correctly. I will accept BroRando’s explanation and the illustration of the commentator Peter Carrol. Thank you.

    When you pray do you ever use God's Name Jehovah? Why not try approaching him and ask for help and understanding?  Then close the pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. Then study the following content.  Ask, Jehovah will help you 
    Psalm 51:17
    The sacrifices pleasing to God are a broken spirit; A heart broken and crushed, O God, you will not reject.
    Psalm 34:18
    Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit.

    Well, I appreciate you and your honest efforts. It really has alot to do with the heart condition. Someone with an honest heart may have questions, so how a person responds, can either provide comfort and understanding or leave a person empty and disappointed. 
    So don't give up and allow anyone to pursade you to stop asking questions.  Jesus taught his followers not to give up.
    Matthew 7:7
    “Keep on asking, and it will be given you; keep on seeking, and you will find; keep on knocking, and it will be opened to you;
    You may have noticed that sometimes, I misspell words or stop short of a constructive sentence. I make many mistakes and Enlgish is my first language. So I ask you to forgive me. 
    A person with a responsive heart can hear the ring of truth from reading a scripture. So they dig alittle deeper. 
    Hebrews 4:12
    For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints from the marrow, and is able to discern thoughts and intentions of the heart.
    Acts 17:11
    Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thes·sa·lo·niʹca, for they accepted the word with the greatest eagerness of mind, carefully examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
    Malachi 3:18
    And you will again see the distinction between a righteous person and a wicked person, between one serving God and one not serving him.”

    Yes, that's correct.  Jesus doesn't come back to the earth in the flesh.  Rather he rules over the earth FROM Heaven.
    1 Peter 3:18
    For Christ died once for all time for sins, a righteous person for unrighteous ones, in order to lead you to God. He was put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit.
     
    Those who rule with Christ for the thousand years have already gained immortal life. That means they cannot not die again and the second death has no power over them. 
    Revelation 20:6
    Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and they will rule as kings with him for the 1,000 years.
    Jesus and his co-rulers of 144,000 will bring mankind back to perfection that Adam and Eve once enjoyed prior to sinning. Also the earth will be made into Paradise.  Like every Kingdom, it has subjects.  Those on earth will enjoy a righteous New World as Satan Earthly Governments are brought to nothing. (It's Spiritual)
    In Biblical times governments were called kingdoms.  Armageddon is a good thing as it marks the beginning of Christ's Millennial Reign. (Of course, at first, the wicked do not know this)
    Daniel 2:44
    “In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it alone will stand forever,
    Revelation 7:13
    In response one of the elders said to me: “These who are dressed in the white robes, who are they and where did they come from?”
    Revelation 7:14
    So right away I said to him: “My lord, you are the one who knows.” And he said to me: “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
    These ones that come out of the Great Tribulation, do not die but rather keep on living. They simply outlive the wicked as the wicked die off (not knowing that they are dying the second death) which is a permanent one like that of Adam and Eve. The scriptures give the (revealing) in this manner.  
    Deuteronomy 28:10
    All the peoples of the earth will have to see that Jehovah’s name has been called upon you, and they will be afraid of you.

    Hell (“Sheol” and “Hades” in the Bible’s original languages) is simply the grave, not a place of fiery torment. 
    Why not read more about it?
     
    PS... My Personal Story
    What is it like to die?
    I first learned about death through a Bible Study. After learning the truth about death and that death is the last enemy that will be conquered, I wanted to learn more. Here’s a few scriptures that may give you some Relief and Comfort.
    “For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all, nor do they have any more reward, because all memory of them is forgotten.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5)
    My Catholic upbringing always taught me that hell was an eternal place of torment and inescapable. This religious teaching never sat well with me. I could never figure out why the God of Love would do such a thing.
    Then at my Bible Study, I came across this scripture, “hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.” (Rev 20:13) This blew my mind because it connected the dots for me. See, the priests would take money from the parishioners to pray for their dead loved ones, telling us this might get them out of hell. All the while, preaching that hell is ETERNAL. Did they know something I didn’t, I wondered? This was nothing but a ponzi scheme.
    Other scriptures that gave me Relief and Comfort is the good news about the Resurrection. “And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Acts 24:15) I was elated to learn this about my loved ones that have passed in death.
    Then Jesus Christ told his followers, “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice  and come out” (John 5:28)

    Yes, Christ fulfilled the law and his sacrifice replaced the Passover. 
    But, he ate the meal and died on the day of preparation, the day before Passover.
    John 19:41,42 - “Now at the place where Jesus was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden was a new tomb where no one had yet been buried. And so, because it was the Jewish day of preparation[dt] and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus’ body there.” 
    [dt] The day of preparation was the day before the Sabbath when everything had to be prepared for it, as no work could be done on the Sabbath.”

    This is how I understand it too. Nissan 14 is Passover day (Thursday after Sundown to Friday sundown.....)and Nissan 15 is a sabbath...... and Nissan 15 happened to also fall on the regular Sabbath - so it was a double sabbath.  (what is the chances of that! - amazing!)
    Because it was a double Sabbath when no work was to be done the bones of the criminals were broken so they could be taken off the stakes and buried.  Jesus had already perished.

    Nope. Nisan 14th, the 1st Day conculded on Friday Evening with Sundown ushering in the Second Day that Jesus was in the Grave. That's why they hurried to bury Jesus. 
    The time Jesus was dead was a 40 hour period that cover 'parts of three days'.  However, one should be mindful that the Jewish Day began on Sundown, this is in regards to Creation at "And there was evening and there was morning, a first day." (Genesis 1:5)
    The Sunset during this time period was around 7:12 pm. It varies back forth over time but is very stable. I'm using a round off time of 7 pm for simplicity sake. 
    Nisan 14, 33 CE - 1st Day - Thursday at Sundown from 7:00 pm to Friday at Sundown to 7:00 pm   Jesus was put to death at approximately 3:00 pm that Friday afternoon on Nisan 14th. That's 4 hours.

    That was good to read.  Only, Jesus did not need any purification, cleaning or any things else regarding cleaning.  He did need time to talk with Jehovah to be able to focus on the purpose of his anointing.

    You're Invited to a Sacred Event!
    The Memorial of Christ is not the Last Supper that the world continues to celebrate. The Last Supper is the Last Passover Meal that was first established in Egypt. The Jewish Day began at Sunset. Since the Sun sets at various times, the Passover Supper would begin after the Sun disappeared from the Horizon with the darkness just beginning to set in. The Last Passover Meal was Nisan 14th, 33 CE with the abolishment of the Old Mosaic Covenant. Today as Christians, we invite others to simply observe the Memorial of Jesus Christ that was instituted moments later after the Last Supper was concluded and brought to its end.
    AS the Last Supper was concluding, Jesus was reclining at the table with the 12 disciples.  While they were eating, he said: “Truly I say to you, one of you will betray me.” (Matthew 26:20-21) Therefore, the event that concluded the Last Passover Meal was the dismissal of an unfaithful apostle. Jesus answered: “It is the one to whom I will give the piece of bread that I dip.” So after dipping the bread, he took it and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.  After Judas took the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. So Jesus said to him: “What you are doing, do it more quickly.” (John 13:26-28) “So after he received the piece of bread, he went out immediately. And it was night.” (John 13:30)
    After dismissing the betrayer from the midst of the Faithful Disciples, Jesus instituted a new teaching for His Faithful Followers. Notice, the whole world wasn’t invited, but those who proved to be faithful and trustworthy up to this point. Since the founding of the Christian Congregation on Pentecost 33 CE, Christians have been commemorating the death of Jesus Christ every Nisan 14th. With one simple command, his faithful sheep “Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” (Luke 22:19) Share this Post on your social media and Save a Life.

    Yes, it has to do with offerings and sacrifice for a temorary covering under the Mosaic Law. However, Jesus is pure and without sin. His death was the antonement or covering for sinful mankind to become clean. Yet, Jesus was tested to the full for our sake.
    Therefore, he fulfilled the Law of Moses "and erased the handwritten document that consisted of decrees and was in opposition to us. He has taken it out of the way by nailing it to the torture stake." (Colossians 2:14)
    The Bible attaches great importance to the death of Jesus.
