What does God promise us? Eternal Life - The Kingdom of God - The New Creation Eternal life is one of God's promises to the faithful, to those who know and love God and persevere in overcoming. There are many verses about the promise of eternal life. John 3:16 and Romans 6:23 are often quoted:

Rango: Who/What is Israel u r talking about.Let me hope u believe that judgement all people will take place at the same time.
God' chosen people... Who Jesus came to die for... Who rejected Him. Deuteronomy 7:13-14 "He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock, in the land which He swore to your forefathers to give you. "You shall be blessed above all peoples; there will be no male or female barren among you or among your cattle. that verse is a blessing for Israel. Explaining how much Israel ment to God. Don't forget that Christ will reign ON EARTH for 1000years... it will be like heaven on EARTH. And after that period , there will be Judgement.

Rango: perhaps you may be convinced that all christians are going to heaven, but wr could these things be, in heaven or on earth? "They will build houses and live in them, and they will plant vineyards and eat their fruitage.They will not build for someone else to inhabit, nor will they pland for others to eat.Tor the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and the work of my chosen ones will enjoy to the full" Isaiah 65:21,22 U may have heard wrong about us, i was once like u but i believed for myself
I am convinced that every Christian will go to Heaven yes... Every Christian is sealed. except for that, there is no limit on grace... the Blood of Christ cannot be contained. Death couldn't contain Christ! I will never put a limit on Him. And how dare you assume how many and who He will save? Do you serve a God who isn't limitless? I don't... I believe in One who can bend heaven itself to open for each and every soul. Pfffft...

It isn't that only 144000 will be saved.But think about a kingdom, it has got a king (that is jesus christ), co-rulers (those r the 144000), the subjects (that is the great crow), the palace (it is in heaven), and the land being ruled over is the earth. And look Ps. 37:9, 11, 29: "Evildoers themselves will be cut off, but those hoping in Jehovah r the ones that wil possess the earth...The meek ones themselves wil possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.

I'll continue tomorrow.. But leaving you to ponder on the following..if you can. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.

Have you not read a single thing I have said?? Martyrs will get crowns in heaven... That does not make them rulers... It sets them apart... There will be NO EARTH to rule! It will be destroyed with Satan... you wanting to rule means you aren't humble and you have pride! Jesus will not free you so you can rule over others... Salvation is freedom. You will not even rule over Hell. The need to rule dies with Satan. I'm done.

The earth and all things in it will be laid bare [or exposed] and not being cleaned up. CONSIDER Ps 104:5 "He has established the earth on its foundations; It will not be moved from its place [or will not totter] forever and ever" Ecc. 1:4 "A generation is going, and a generation is coming, But the earth remains forever" I cann't give u all the explanation here but i can direct u wr to get the explanations to my answers if u wish to

Rulling is not my own making.Here it is in the Bible.Look at Rev.20:4, 6 "...And they came to life and ruled as kings with the Christ for 1000 years. 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 1000 years" It is not pride that we want 2 rule and am not even among the 144000.These r appointed by Jesus himself just as God appointed Jesus 2 be king

Atleast if i was among the 144000, then u would be right to say am boasting.But iam not even among them, iam trying my level best to explain facts.Assume iam telling u that in paradise there will be plenty of food, no dying, peace etc and then u say iam proud, thats not right

Earth as we know it will be destroyed... It will be bare. There won't even be oceans anymore. Nothing. The structure will remain. But all that makes it earth will be destroyed. The new heaven will New jesrusalem and Jerusalem will be on earth. God will be on earth and all those saved. God will not be in a separate place with a select view ruling over the earth. Revelation 21 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

by you I mean jehovah's witness... You believe you are israel and that all prophecies regarding israel is directed at you.... Do you understand that there is no logic in that? That israel are jews... the bible, the torah and the Quran shows that clearly... the 144000 are jews... Born jewish. Born in israel... They are hebrew speaking people. They are not in anyway jehovah witnesses.

No, what makes you proud is that you think the things you do will get you salvation... That there is no universal salvation... Salvation is universal and works will not get you salvation, the bible says that clearly.

I was waiting for this smiley Romans 9 ''I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying, my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit— I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people, those of my own race, the people of Israel.'' 1. Israel is a race. Being a decendant, being an ethnic jew doesnt mean you are the ''chosen Israel'', the Israel who God promised nations will bow too, and bless etc. Who is this real Israel? Ethnic jews. No matter the number of the real Israel they will be jews. Because Israel is a race. Even though there's millions of jews, the remnant ( chosen Israel) will be small. , Romans 9:27. "Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved." Romans 11:5. "Even so at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace." Grace come from Christ. The ''real'' Israel will be ethnic jews who converted to Christianity. For example, the jewish disciples are the Real Israel. The 144000 ethnic jews are the Real Israel, and every jew they convert will be the Real Israel. Revelation 11. I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months. And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” They are “the two olive trees” and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.” They will convert ethnic jews, and those jews will be the Real Israel. The 3000 On Pentecost (Acts 2:1-41) Those ethnic jews are The Real Israel. The ethnic jews who will convert after the battle of Ezekiel 38 and 39 will be the real Israel. The Real Israel are ethnic jews who accept Jesus. And they will become meek and inherit the earth. They will rule with Christ as their king for a thousand years. Would you like to a list of the promises made to the Real Israel? or more verses regarding the Real Israel? Think its time I ask you to explain a few verses to me... Seeing that I've been doing it.

Jehovah's witness is wrong... I don't need a website to understand... I can read the bible. I'm more than capable to use my own understanding. I don't have many quotations... I have many scriptures. My questions also have nothing to do with what you believe. I can assure you that no website will help you answer them... It was fun, but I'm done.... I'm a poet.

Why don't u visit the website and then comfirm after reading the correct explanation than confirming from what u have heard or from what u know.Do not be like a person who has ears but does not listen, has eyes but does not see.U read ur Bible, that means ur searching for the truth.u may search and u don't find, but u continue searching.Why then search from the website?

Lol... eyes that can't see... Me? I'm not searching. I have found smiley my bible is pure gold.... That site would be what you call duplicated gold. Sorry... I think you are extremely delusional, and I believe that you cannot think for yourself that's why you used a website... You can't think for yourself because you have decided that jehovah's witness will think for you. I do hope that you will see the light...
