Wickedness of man is purposely ignoring what someone is saying. New earth is d heaven man talks about... When we say we r going to heaven. Our heaven is the new earth provided for us. New heaven is Gods heaven.

Good night. Don't be wicked by refusing to acknowledge this explanation. Its unfair... And makes a debate futile

you are wrong, heaven is above ... Earth is here.

when many people said they are going to heaven, they meant Gods abode not new earth

for ur information, the new Earth is not yet in existence , the bible calls it " the COMING inhabited earth " heb 2:5

I hope you get a trophy for manipulation. I made my explanations clear. Enjoy yourself. Truth is clear. The bible is clear. Apparently this is the purpose of your Christianity... Pin pricking and putting peoples words apart to mean something else.

Jozzy4:

if the bold is true, can you please explain this verse that clearly reveal some will be in heaven with Christ and others on earth ?

" And they sang a new song, saying,
“Worthy are you to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God
from every tribe and language and people and nation,
10 and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God,

and they shall reign on the earth.

Rev 5:9,10
___ point 1: this verse said[b] some people from every tribe and language and people and nation will be kings and priests to our God, where did God live ? this clearly point to heaven.[/b]
- point 2: it stressed further that this selected people will RUle over the Earth ' this cannot be an empty earth, people will be there
NOTE: this is dual, they rule in heaven at the same time over those on earth.
heaven cannot be earth ! they are two different location
The bible clearly said THEY not. Some people.

Now this is the last time I will write the scriptures for you, if you still don't understand what I have copied from the bible, then I advise you to crawl back under that rock from where you came from, and stay there, until Jesus returns.
I simply asked you a question and you answered it, not changing the topic, but making it more interesting-while you are writing' I have noticed you don't used your own bible in any of the verses you have laid out on this page, and yet the JW's swear your bible is 100% truth? And while You have claimed our bible doctrines are a pack of lies, you still prefer to use them to prove your point. And not your own bible?
New Would Translation bible {Hebrews 1:8-9} {This verse points it out clearly who God is speaking too, "but it shows the JW's had change one simple word that had changed man kind-drawing them further away from the truth}
New World Translation bible {V 8} But about His Son, He say's God is your throne, forever and ever, and the scepter of your kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.
King James bible {V 8} "But to the Son He says: "Your throne O God is forever and ever, a scepter of righteousness and a scepter of your Kingdom.
{It shows who made the switch, with the word, one bible had changed history, the New World Translation, had removed the truth away from the scriptures. While the King James and many other bibles that follow stands fern' who God is speaking too, "God had called His own Son God}
New World Translation bible {V 9} You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God had anointed you.
King James bible {V 9} "You have loved righteousness and you have hated lawlessness. Therefore GOD your God had anointed you with the oil of gladness more than your companions.
So it seems both bible"s have a slight difference between them. Enough to change the truth away from God's people.
New World Translation bible {Revelation 1:4-6} John to the seven congregation + that they are in the province of Asia: May you have undeserved kindness and the peace from "the One who is and who was and who is coming, + and from the seven spirits, + that are before His throne.

King James Version
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode]2Pe 1:4Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
yes christ divine nature in christians is the spirit of christ in them or the spiritual embodiment of christ in them.Does that mean they are now God? But christ by nature is God.

1Jo 3:2Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
yes we shall be like him cos he is already like us in perfect ways
Jesus, being a the son of God, had that same divine nature or form. The scripture says he is the image of God!
yes Jesus is God's image Exactly no difference. where does the theory of Almighty n mighty emanated from

that is why jesus refered to himself as the son of man, because he was a human!

Isa 53:3He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

What about the new heavens? It is important to remember that in the ancient mind, “heavens” referred to the skies and outer space, as well as the realm in which God dwells. So, when Revelation 21:1 refers to the new heavens, it is likely indicating that the entire universe will be created—a new earth, new skies, a new outer space. It seems as if God's heaven will be recreated as well, to give everything in the universe a “fresh start,” whether physical or spiritual. Will we have access to the new heavens in eternity? Possibly, but we will have to wait to find out. May we all allow God’s Word to shape our understanding of heaven.

it seems? no it does not seems! God wunt destroy the present earth talk less of destroying outer space, talk less of destroying his abode!

as to the translation I use , I prefer to use mostimes on these thread the translation that you accept. I want to use your own translation as much as possible to show you that your doctrines are false!
I wunt use your translations in cases where it has deliberately on its own removed God's name, or where it does not fully expresses my views.

Jesus said he came not to do his human will.There is a difference between his divine nature and his earthly nature.Jesus came took servanthood on HIS OWN

Even in his divine nature he will and is always subject to his Father, creator, the one that exalted him and placed his enemies under his feet! So the Bible clearly shows one is superior and one is subject to the other.

1 Corinthians 15:27,28 shows God put everything under him which shows he has more authority.

After everything God will be all in all, whether in heaven or on earth he has always been his father's subject!

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] You Just said that Jesus is the same nature with God.ha author=dolphinheart post=45463090]
the disciples never prayed to become God
yes, the disciples never prayed to become God , neither did I say so. They prayed to have the same divine nature as jesus!

2 peter 1:4 New International Version
Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

I once asked you what is divine nature, but you refuse to answer.

having divine nature does not make you God or a God, but it makes you have same nature as God!. despite having same nature as God, it does not mean you are equal to God!
two humans have the same human nature, but it does not mean that they have the same authority, power , intelligence, physical or mental attributes.

Jesus HAS same nature as God in heaven, that nature is divine, but it does not make jesus equal to God(who is the father, the almighty). The scriptures makes it clear several times that the father is the God of jesus!
King James Version
1Pe 1:3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,


God is a spirit, Jesus is a spirit, the angels are spirits, likewise those disciples will be sprits when they enter heaven, for flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God !
jesus is a seperate person from the father, they both have the same nature, the father is God, so jesus can be said to have same nature as God , but it does not make jesus the father, therefore it does not make jesus God!

you can claim jesus is God cus jesus is called God, but jesus ,despite being called mighty God , still has a God superior to him, one who is called the almighty God, who is the most high!. This fact you refuse to acknowledge , cus anytime I ask you if jesus has a God that is superior to him at this moment, you refuse to answer!

yes christ divine nature in christians is the spirit of christ in them or the spiritual embodiment of christ in them.Does that mean they are now God? But christ by nature is God.
as at the time this speech was made, they already have the spirit of christ in them, therefore what they are hoping for is not the spirit of christ, but a transformation of their nature from a human nature to gods nature, from a slave to children of God, from a physical body to a spiritual body, and thus be like Christ!, this is the promise, their hope.


luke 22:29,30(New International Version)
And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me,

1 peter 1:3,4(New International Version)
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
(NLT SAYS: Now we live with great expectation)
4. and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you,

php 3: 20,21(New International Version)
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21. who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

read 1Co 15:44-53
when your nature changes, it simply means your nature/form changes!,



yes we shall be like him cos he is already like us in perfect ways
funny, so they will be like jesus because jesus is already like them! wow!. now I see why you could not support this with scripture

well the scriptures tells us better sir
1 john 3:2 (New International Version)
Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

1 cor 15:49( New International Version)
And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man.

rom 8:29 (New International Version)
For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.


yes Jesus is God's image Exactly no difference. where does the theory of Almighty n mighty emanated from
good, an image is a representation of oneself, it's not oneself. your image is not you, it's your image!

let me use the scriptures to explain further
1 cor 15: 49 talks about bearing two images , the one they bear, and the one they will bear. The image they bear is of the earthly one , they bore the image of adam, a human , who had human form , had human nature.
gen 5:3 (New International Version)
When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth.

can you see that setH is the image of adam? does that mean that setH is adam? no!
does it mean that setH is equal to Adam? no!
does it mean that that setH is a human, with same nature with adam? yes!
apply that to jesus and you will understand better how jesus is the image of God .

now the verse continues to say they will bear the image of the heavenLy man, who is a spirit, with a different nature to adam. when they bear this image, does it mean they become God!? no!
therefore jesus having the image of God does not mean he is God, just as his disciples bearing the image of jesus does not mean they are jesus or become jesus!



[s what is this one saying, so nature does not determine servitude, can God be a servant? Is it possible? There are humans who choose not to serve God,that is called abandoning there purpose it is called sin same thing with angel.All things were created for God's pleasure n it is called service.
well, it depends on the understanding of what the term God means, but the scriptures had been irrevocably clear that Jesus who is a God is subjected to someone more superior to him.

acts 4:27,30(New International Version)
Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed.
Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus."

King James Version
1Co 15:28And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.




yes
God was never a man ? yes
jesus was a man? yes.
is jesus same person as the one who anointed him?no
who anointed jesus ? God!
is the one who anointed jesus the God of jesus? yes

The issue is the father is greater! Even in my ignorance u know that, it's very clear in the scriptures that Jehovah is the God of Jesus Christ and he is and will always be subject to him. You haven't been able to refute that fact, yet u resort to calling me names. You can't even explain your Trinity. I know that, it's a false doctrine!
