  1. Proverbs 4:18 “But the path of the righteous is like the bright morning light That grows brighter and brighter until full daylight.” In this Scripture, the path is LIKE the morning light…UNTIL FULL daylight. It is about the way the light gradually WILL definitely continue to grow brighter. The Scripture is not about nighttime and darkness. It is only using the GROWING of the light as an illustration of HOW the “Path” GROWS brighter, meaning you can see better (have better understanding), because it is brighter now than it was before (when the understanding was not as clear as it is now).
  2. GREAT COMMENT!! It is wonderful how the Bible gives ALL the answers to ALL of man's questions!
  3. There are many prophecies in the Bible that have two fulfillments. Also, here are some ideas to consider regarding birth pains... Jehovah told Eve: "...in pain you will give birth to children..." (Gen 3.16) This was punishment for having disobeyed him. Jesus did NOT disobey him. Maybe the birth of God's Kingdom was without suffering pain because Jesus was obedient.
  4. Thank you @Queen Esther! I love these new pictures! Beautiful...Our peace will be SO abundant!!! But the meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. – Ps. 37:11
  5. Yes, without a doubt: …Jesus said to them: “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” – Matthew 19:26
  6. If you want to, you CAN know God personally and even become his friend. And you will have no better friend than Jehovah God, the Almighty!
  7. Jesus answered the apostles at Matthew 6:9-13 (see below). The prayer at John chapter 17 is his personal prayer to his Father in heaven (see below). Matthew 6:9-13 “You [his apostles] must pray, then, this way: “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. 10 Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth. 11 Give us today our bread for this day; 12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the wicked one.’ John 17:1-26 Jesus spoke these things, and raising his eyes to heaven, he said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your son so that your son may glorify you, 2 just as you have given him authority over all flesh, so that he may give everlasting life to all those whom you have given to him. 3 This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. 4 I have glorified you on the earth, having finished the work you have given me to do. 5 So now, Father, glorify me at your side with the glory that I had alongside you before the world was. 6 “I have made your name manifest to the men whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have observed your word. 7 Now they have come to know that all the things you gave me are from you; 8 because I have given them the sayings that you gave me, and they have accepted them and have certainly come to know that I came as your representative, and they have believed that you sent me. 9 I make request concerning them; I make request, not concerning the world, but concerning those whom you have given me, because they are yours; 10 and all my things are yours and yours are mine, and I have been glorified among them. 11 “I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, watch over them on account of your own name, which you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one. 12 When I was with them, I used to watch over them on account of your own name, which you have given me; and I have protected them, and not one of them is destroyed except the son of destruction, so that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to you, and I am saying these things in the world, so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves. 14 I have given your word to them, but the world has hated them, because they are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world. 15 “I do not request that you take them out of the world, but that you watch over them because of the wicked one. 16 They are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world. 17 Sanctify them by means of the truth; your word is truth. 18 Just as you sent me into the world, I also sent them into the world. 19 And I am sanctifying myself in their behalf, so that they also may be sanctified by means of truth. 20 “I make request, not concerning these only, but also concerning those putting faith in me through their word, 21 so that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in union with me and I am in union with you, that they also may be in union with us, so that the world may believe that you sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you have given me, in order that they may be one just as we are one. 23 I in union with them and you in union with me, in order that they may be perfected into one, so that the world may know that you sent me and that you loved them just as you loved me. 24 Father, I want those whom you have given me to be with me where I am, in order that they may look upon my glory that you have given me, because you loved me before the founding of the world. 25 Righteous Father, the world has, indeed, not come to know you, but I know you, and these have come to know that you sent me. 26 I have made your name known to them and will make it known, so that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them.”
  8. Many NAMES: YOUR Father may have many NAMES: his legal name, maybe a nickname?, maybe a pet name from your mother?, maybe a name that HIS mother calls him?, maybe a name that his friends call him?, and so on... Many TITLES: YOUR Father has many TITLES: son, husband, father, maybe grandfather, his job title, and so on....
  9. Both Jesus and the Father have many roles and titles. But note: In John chapter 17, Jesus is saying a long prayer to HIS FATHER. If Jesus is the FATHER, then WHO is Jesus praying to??? Himself??? John 17:1, 2 – Jesus spoke these things, and raising his eyes to heaven, he said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your son [Jesus] so that your son may glorify you 2 just as you have given him [Jesus] authority over all flesh, so that he [Jesus] may give everlasting life to all those whom you [Father] have given to him [Jesus].
  10. This might be clearer: To say Jesus is "God" is like saying the Vice-President is "Mr. President."
  11. If i understand you correctly and if i understand this bible verse correctly NAME JESUS CHRIST IS ABOVE every other name, including THE NAME MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL? But WT teaching that Jesus went back to heaven after resurrection and that his name in heaven is Michael again (Michael one of the first Princes). What we shall do with this? When on earth, the name of the man that we saw here (Jesus) was called "Jesus" by the people on the earth. In heaven, the name of the man that we saw here (Jesus) is called "Michael" by the beings in heaven. To help illustrate this, here are two examples: First Example: I am called "DeeDee" by the people on this website. But I am called a different name by people who know me in real life. Second Example: Many people are called by a nickname. And some people have MORE THAN ONE nickname. Does that explain it?
  12. That's what I was thinking of...that the time is short before there is no more time.
  13. For example, here is an example of the "News" idea.
  14. Two things: 1. News [like "BREAKING NEWS"] (see the next post...I could not copy and past in "edit" mode from a prior page) 2. The time is near for God's Kingdom/Armageddon
  15. Here are some rough ideas with rough graphics. If interested, I'll make them accurate graphics. Let me know if you would like something different on the face of the clock... Two samples show how the logo could be used with the text "World Forum." The first one uses the blue that you are currently using. Let me know what you think. : )   Â
  16. This site definitely gives you the chance to prove your faith to yourself! After seeing some of the comments from non-believers it truly makes me search my heart and mind to "call to mind" the truths that I have learned. It also gives me deeper appreciation for those truths and strengthens my faith.
  17. Cos, note this Scripture (Philippians 2:9-11) below about the word "GOD": ...just as "LORD" is the title of authority given to Jesus in the Scripture above, "GOD" is simply the title of authority for Jehovah. In other words, your quote above says "Jesus...is God." But, the Scripture says that "Jesus Christ is LORD to the glory of GOD the FATHER" so this means Jesus was given the title Lord and Jehovah is given the title God. To say "Jesus is God" is like saying a "Vice-President is President."
  18. @Srecko Sostar Note this Scripture (Philippians 2:9-11) below about the title "Lord"
  19. I would also like to share this Scripture at Philippians 2:5-11: …Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be EQUAL to GOD. No, but he emptied himself and took a slave’s form and became human. More than that, when he came as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient [to GOD] to the point of death… For this very reason, GOD [Jehovah] exalted him [Jesus] to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every other name, so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend— of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground— and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of GOD the FATHER.
  20. John chapter 17 is Jesus praying to his Father Jehovah. At verse 5, Jesus says these words: “So now, Father, glorify me at your side with the glory that I had alongside you BEFORE the world was.” – Jesus That is why Jesus is rightly called the "firstborn." As Cos states below, "that title could NEVER be lost": Then God said: “Let US make man in OUR image, according to OUR likeness,… (Gen. 1:26) P.S. The Scripture above shows that Jehovah and Jesus are two different people.
  21. Cos, Would the expression, "Like Father, Like Son" be in line with what you are explaining? ...as in when a Son has a similar "nature and essence" to his Father?
  22. One of my favorite Scriptures is (Proverbs 17:22) A joyful heart is good medicine
  23. I look forward to it!! I like things that make me feel closer to Paradise!
