Yes, we must praise God.
But not because He rewards us for good deeds.
But because thanks to God, everything is - the universe, and our land, and everything on earth, and we are with you. God created all of these and is worthy to be praised: read Revelation 4:11 (New World Translation):

"You are worthy, Jehovah our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power,
because you created all things,
and because of your will they came into existence
and were created."

14. Will Adam be resurrected? Explain.

14 What did Paul mean when he said that “in Adam all are dying”? Paul had in mind Adam’s descendants, who inherited sin and imperfection from Adam and thus are in a dying condition. (Rom. 5:12) Adam is not among those who “will be made alive.” Christ’s ransom does not cover him, for Adam was a perfect man who willfully disobeyed God. The outcome for Adam is the same as what is ahead for those whom “the Son of man” will judge as “goats,” namely, “everlasting cutting-off.”​—Matt. 25:31-33, 46; Heb. 5:9.

The controversy over the timing of Jesus' birth continues. Even specialists cannot solve them.

Who knows:

1. When did Jesus Christ become High Priest?
2. When was the new agreement approved and
when was it introduced?

Please tell me who knows.

Sir! Let's be correct and polite.

Yes, I am Jehovah's Witness! And I am very proud that I am a servant of God, the real living Jehovah God.

You say that I am teaching wrong.
But I do not teach, I show Jehovah's view on certain issues.

And we have one Teacher - Jesus Christ. No one can teach better than him.

Why Pray?

Many people pray to God about their problems, but these problems do not go anywhere. Does this mean that God is deaf to our prayers? No, it doesn't.
The Bible says that God hears the prayers of all people, even those who do not believe in him. But He listens to the prayers of those who pray to Him in the right way.

Psalm 65: 2 says: "O Hearer of prayer, to you people of all sorts will come."
Some people say that prayer helps them to calm down, but at the same time they do not believe that someone up there is listening to their prayers. But prayer is not a psychotherapeutic exercise. The Bible says that: “Jehovah is near to all those calling on him ... He hears their cry for help, and he rescues them.” - Psalm 145: 18,19.
These words prove that Jehovah God listens to the prayers of those who are devoted to him. He himself says: "And you will call me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you" (Jeremiah 29:12).
--------------------------------------

"... Persevere in prayer" (Romans 12:12).
The Bible encourages us to pray constantly, whenever possible. Therefore, God wants us to pray to him. Read Matthew 26:41; Ephesians 6:18. But why does God want this?

Think: how nice it is for a father when his baby comes up to him and asks: "Daddy, help, please"! Of course, the father knows what his child needs and what he is worried about. But when he hears such a request, he realizes that the child trusts him and needs him.

It's the same with prayers. When we pray to God, we show that we trust him and need his help (Proverbs 15: 8; James 4: 8).
---------------------------------------------

Jehovah loves to listen to our prayers. But he does not answer all our requests. What should be the prayer?

"When praying, do not say the same things over and over again ..." (Matthew 6: 7).
Jehovah does not want us to repeat memorized words and phrases. He wants us to talk to him frankly, heart to heart, openly and sincerely. Therefore, you need to pray in your own words and tell the Father about what worries you personally.

"When do you ask, you do not receive because you are asking for a wrong purpose..." (James 4: 3).
It is clear that God will not answer when a person asks for what He condemns.
Consider: Will Jehovah answer someone who asks for luck in the lottery? Of course not! God teaches us not to be greedy or rely on luck (Isaiah 65:11; Luke 12:15). For God to answer our prayers, our requests must not be contrary to God's will.

"... for whoever approaches God must believe that he is and that he becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking him" (Hebrews 11: 6).
When we pray, we trust God, express our love and respect to him.
The Bible says that when we ask for something and we doubt it, we get nothing (James 1: 6,7).
---------------------------------------------

We can pray anywhere and at any time, out loud or in our minds. And Jehovah wants us to call him Father (after all, thanks to Him we all live) (Matthew 6: 9).

To get your prayer answered:

1. Pray in the name of Jesus (John 16:23)
2. Speak from the bottom of your heart (Psalm 62: 8)
3. Pray in harmony with the will of God (1 John 5:14)
4. Pray for what you need, for wisdom, for faith, oh
forgiveness, ask God for help (Luke 11: 3,4,13; James
1: 5.17).
5. Pray for others (relatives, children, spouses, friends ...)
(James 5:16).
6. Thank God for everything you have. Because everything is from
him.
_______________________________

But sometimes it happens that you pray correctly, but you don't get an answer. What to do?
Be patient and keep praying. After all, a person wants to get everything at once. But God answers our prayers when He pleases, and in such a way as to benefit us, not harm us. Understanding and view of God on all perfect.

When people pray to God, they receive inner peace, peace, wisdom from God, consolation, strength (to endure trials), and always receive help.

Therefore, "knock and it will be opened to you, ask and it will be given to you."

I'm talking about Adam and Eve.
Who are you talking about?


I'm glad you know the Bible. But do you understand it correctly?
P.S. --- it is always more pleasant to talk with modest people.

Why doesn't anyone know? Probably everyone knows who Jesus Christ is.

Colossians 1:15 says that Jesus "... the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation." Jesus is the first person to be created by Jehovah God, his firstborn Son. Firstborn means that only Jesus was created directly
Jehovah. All the rest of creation (living and non-living) was created by God with the help of Jesus.

Christians in the 1st century saw Jesus, talked to him, he taught them ...
In Matthew 16:16, the apostle Peter said about Jesus: "... You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

Jehovah himself in the Bible tells us who Jesus Christ is.
Who are we to doubt this?

Nowhere in the Bible does it say that Jesus was born at Passover.
But Jesus really died on Easter - in March-April 33 A.D. e.

I read about this in Genesis 3.
It tells how Satan, through a snake, seduced Eve to eat the fruit from the forbidden tree.
By eating this fruit, they violated the law of God - not to eat the fruit from the forbidden tree.

The Bible translation you are using also says this.

It is very strange that some cold, cruel force created such beauty for us - everything that surrounds us.

Only God (living, real, loving) could create such splendor! - Read Ge 1:31.


When God created animals, they were not predators. Those. they did not eat meat - read Ge 1:30. The animals ate plants. There was complete harmony in life - people were not afraid of animals, animals were not afraid of people. But after people sinned, everything changed.

The examples you have given have nothing to do with what God created. These are the consequences of people breaking the law of their Creator.

To 🥾_Boots_🥾


Sir! Is this a serious question or a joke? !!

Every day I observe the behavior of people - both men and women and children. Sometimes you want to shout to the whole world - people! what are you doing?

But human behavior (whatever it may be) does not mean that we have monkey blood in us. And it cannot be in people. We are not descended from monkeys.

Have you seen how another person's blood is poured into a person? My mother was given blood of a different type. I will not go into detail. Weird things happened to her, she was dying in my arms. Until the doctors realized that they had injected her with blood of a different group.

I want to say that even human blood of the right group may not suit a person and lead to death.

And this is the blood of monkeys, a different biological species, with a different genetic code. These are incompatible things!

1. Jesus was born about 6 months after the birth of John the Baptist.
2. At this time, the Roman emperor Caesar Augustus (31 BC - 14 AD) and Publius Quirinius, ruler of Syria (between 4-1 BC), near the end ruled reign of King Herod in Judea.

The time of Jesus' birth is relative
death of King Herod.
=======================================

Jesus was born in 2 BC.
King Herod died in 1 BC. e.

Many events took place between the birth of Jesus and the death of Herod:

a) Jesus was circumcised on the 8th day (Luke 2:21);
b) Jesus was brought to the temple in Jerusalem on the 40th day after his birth (Luke 2:22, 23);
c) ostologues "from the east" came to Bethlehem (at this time Jesus was already in the house, not in the cattle feeder) (Matt 2: 1-11);
d) Joseph and Mary fled with the child to Egypt (Matt 2: 13-15);
e) Herod orders to kill all boys under the age of 2 in Bethlehem and its environs (which means that Jesus was no longer a newborn baby) (Matt 2: 16-18).

If Jesus was born in the fall of 2 BC. e., then all these events could occur between his birth and the death of Herod in 1 BC. e.

The time of Jesus' birth in relation to the ministry of John.
==============================================================
Luke 3: 1-3

The mothers of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ were relatives, probably cousins. When Mary came to visit Elizabeth, she was already pregnant for about 6 months. And Maria just got pregnant. That is, the difference in terms of pregnancies was about 6 months. Therefore, the difference in the age of the children born was about 6 months: John (the son of Elizabeth) was older than Jesus (the son of Mary) by about 6 months.

At that time, people began to serve in the temple or carry out special assignments from God at the age of 30.

John the Baptist, at this age, began his ministry in the spring of A.D. 29. e. From this it follows that John was born around the spring of 2 BC. e.

And Jesus, who was about 6 months younger than John, began his ministry in the fall of 29 CE. e. And he was born, therefore, in the fall of 2 BC. e.
The difference between John and Jesus - in birth and in ministry - is about 6 months.

John the Baptist came into the world six months earlier than Jesus Christ to prepare the way for him to help people recognize Jesus as the Messiah.

This is what God intended and it happened.

Everyone knows the name Satan. Many even believe that Satan is evil.
But how did Satan come from, where did he come from?

The Bible says that Satan is a real person. He is invisible to human eyes for the same reason that God is invisible to us - "God is a spirit" (John 4:24). The Devil is a spirit creature, but unlike God, the Devil had a beginning. Those. he is God's creation, as we all are.

Long before the creation of man, God created many spirit personalities (Job 38: 4,7). They are called angels in the Bible (Heb. 1: 13,14).
God made them perfect, none of them was the devil, none of them had evil tendencies. How did Satan the Devil come about?

Example: if a decent person steals something, he becomes a thief.

Likewise, the perfect son of God became Satan when he followed the lead of his wrong desires. He wanted people created by God and their descendants to worship not the Creator, but him. He wanted something that rightfully belongs only to the Creator. The angel began to hatch his plan and this led to his rebellion and deception.

The disobedient angel pushed the first people to break the law of God. He argued that the Creator is hiding the truth from people. This was the first lie in the world. And having said it, this angel became an adversary and a slanderer, i.e. Satan the Devil.

This is how Satan was born. And since that time he invisibly influences thoughts, actions, for the whole life of people.

P.S. ---
after baptism, Satan tempted Jesus Christ. But a reasonable real person, and not a faceless force, can tempt or do something else!
This moment once again confirms that Satan is real (although invisible), like you and me.

To DoofusMaximus:

Do you think Adam will be resurrected?
He sinned by breaking the law of God. Lost perfection and the ability to live forever. He passed on to us, his descendants, only sin, death, disease ... And we still live with it.

Adam sold all of humanity into slavery to sin. And God will not resurrect him and Eve. Adam and Eve are those who will never be resurrected!

“The heart is more treacherous than anything else and is desperate,”--- Jeremiah said (Jeremiah 17: 9).
Cunning of the heart can manifest itself in the fact that we justify our mistakes, belittle shortcomings, try to explain weaknesses, or exaggerate achievements. A broken heart can also lead to hypocrisy, and then our lips will flatter one thing and our deeds another. How important it is to be honest when we test our heart's motives!

That's right!

To tdion.
Yes, you said that Jesus was born in late March or early April. But you have not
provided any evidence.
The evidence is in the Bible itself.

According to the Bible - Jesus Christ was born in September-October of the second
year BC.

The Bible mentions only 2 birthdays: the birthday of the Egyptian pharaoh and the Jewish king Herod. Nimrod has nothing to do with them. What evidence do you have that Jesus was born in March, April?

I probably got it wrong. I am not saying that the earth is overpopulated. My guess is that if God resurrects 20 billion people or more, then there will be room for all people to live and eat on earth.
