WHICH Which hamburger is cool hunger? REJECT

Using the word transparent is not the same as truthful and candid. It means see-thru like saran wrap and looking at things on the other side. Words can and do change over time, but deliberate misuse is never advisable.

So. A type ant-type thinking that we have since abandoned. In other words, while there are other similar instances of a 40 day cycle, the scriptures do not say there is any significance in Jesus spending 40 days in the wilderness. Thanks!

*** w61 8/1 p. 474 How to Read the Bible *** Then there is the reading aid of asking questions, such as, ‘Why is this so?’ and, ‘Why did this happen?’ Such questions stir up thinking. Thus one may be reading Matthew 4:1, 2: “Then Jesus was led by the spirit up into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil. After he had fasted forty days and forty nights, then he felt hungry.” One might ask himself, “Why were forty days and forty nights necessary?” One might reason that Jesus used that time well, by meditating on God’s Word. But still why that length of time? As you reflect on the matter, by association your mind may think on other similar periods, how both Moses and Elijah experienced them. (Ex. 24:18; 34:28; Deut. 9:25; 1 Ki. 19:8) Further thinking brings to mind the transfiguration scene, wherein Jesus was transfigured with Moses and Elijah, and such thinking has given you insight into the matter: That Jesus went into the wilderness for that specific length of time to conform to these types and that the transfiguration scene required this conformity. So by asking questions to yourself and then reflecting on the matter, your understanding may be greatly enhanced. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=1961568&srctype=wol&srcid=share&par=15

So the grant of “indestructible life” (Heb 7:16) or “indissoluble life” to those Christians who gain the privilege of reigning with God’s Son in the heavenly Kingdom marvelously demonstrates God’s confidence in them. (From Insight) I assume that this principle applies in this situation. “Indeed, everyone to whom much was given, much will be demanded of him, and the one who was put in charge of much will have more than usual demanded of him.”—Luke 12:48

I Chose the man with the problems: from 12/21 WT Jim sits on the bench with his hands clasped, eyes lowered, not because he has run out of answers — but because he has reached the point where answers aren’t enough. The water behind him is still, the trees, unmoving. Yet his thoughts are anything but quiet. Earlier, he carried a small tray into the bedroom, careful not to wake his wife, Beatrice, as he set it down. He lingered there longer than necessary, watching her breathe, wishing he could do more than just be steady. At the table later, papers spread out in front of him, he studied the numbers again. Jim wasn’t looking for relief — just enough clarity to make wise decisions and not be ruled by anxiety. And then there was his daughter, Samantha. Sitting close beside him, following the words in her book, trusting his voice. He felt the weight of that trust — not pressure, but responsibility. So now he prays. Not to escape these things, but to meet them well. To care for Beatrice. with tenderness, to handle the finances with discernment, and to guide Samantha toward loving Jehovah from her own heart. Nothing changes in the scene behind him — but inside, he is anchored.

One of the problems of keeping a mortgage, is the varying rates being charged. In these days of uncertainty, I would choose to repay if could.

No, it was voluntary. I not aware of any prophetic significance to this account, either. Sure, he was likely hungry much sooner than 40 days, but that wasn't the point of the account. We should. Not take that scripture to mean he was not hungry at day 35, 37, or whatever. Besides, many of us have likely been preoccupied with something and missed a meal without realizing it. The principle might be the same here. Jesus had a lot on his mind that could distract him from his hunger.

My thought with that question was more along the lines of health since second-hand smoke is not healthy, hence the public bans. Not so long ago? Depends on your point of view 😂

Jesus and the 144,000 that are already resurrected already have immortality. The earthly class will never have immortality at all. They can have everlasting life that depends on Jehovah's will and also on the provision of the physical needs we have to keep us alive. Anyone who has immortality has no physical needs. The angels in heaven can live forever but are not immortal because their life still depends on Jehovah.

Well, it has some connections with trust too of course. From Insight: w84 4/1: It is unclear to me why granting them immortality "marvelously demonstrates God's confidence in them" or why in that case "we can trust that they will forever be faithful" if they can still be destroyed at will. I'm not saying this is not true, it just seems to me that we are missing something here.

● At Matthew 4:1 it is said that “Jesus was led by the spirit up into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil.” Does this refer to God’s holy spirit? https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1981490#h=10:2-13:730 I don't think Jehovah would have allowed Jesus to literally starve while in fellowship with the Father. This wasn't a forced fast. Moreover, the Bible says that at the end of 40 days, Jesus felt hungry. But didn't he feel hungry before that? “After he had fasted for 40 days and 40 nights, he felt hungry.”—Matthew 4:2 Jesus is the reflection of His father and He, as the Son, acted like His Father. Matthew 14:15-21; Mark 6:35-44; Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-13

If you had shown an image of a carton of a dozen eggs the answer would have been obvious!

4, but @Witness1970 makes a good point. It's hard to tell if there is a language barrier sometimes.

The words broke 2 are ambiguous. I break eggs before I fry them and eat them. it would be tha same 2 eggs. But the words "I HAVE six eggs" indicates that you have 6 eggs after you 'broke 2, fried 2 and ate 2' so, the answer is 6 are left.

The concept of eternity has a broad range of interpretations for this state. Immortality is one form of eternal life. Perhaps in the future, we will learn more about what the concept of eternity encompasses and what other varieties of state Jehovah can apply to something or someone. For example, Jehovah describes himself as eternal. We do not doubt his immortality. However, angels, cherubim, and seraphim, just like humans, are not endowed with such a capacity. The Bible nowhere mentions this. Of course, we can compare our state of eternity to that of the angels. However, we are not talking about the state of the body, but about the state of eternity that Jehovah applies. Jesus and anointed Christians receive eternal life, which includes a state of immortality, autonomy (as we understand it). But, whatever the state of Jehovah's creation, it will always be subordinate and under Jehovah's control. Jehovah is the Supreme Ruler, the Creator of everything. Here, the issue is most likely not one of trust, but of the reward Jehovah bestows upon his creations. Immortality is a reward, like eternal life, not a matter of trust. When there are several children in a family, the Father will want to give each one a unique gift. This doesn't mean He trusts one child more than the other. It's a reward, not a trust.

That depends on the browser you are using. Is that Chrome on Android?

If you mark someone by mistake as the group overseer or assistant, or if the group overseer or assistant changes, that "no" serves to unmark the previous brother. Selecting a new overseer doesn't unmark the previous one.

When we are provoked, we can resist the tendency to react harshly. Comment: The example of Isaac shows that mildness is not a sign of weakness, but of trust in Jehovah. Even though he was treated unjustly repeatedly, he avoided conflict and left the matter in God's hands. This attitude reflected the spiritual training received from Abraham and Sarah and demonstrated faith that Jehovah blesses those who seek peace. Mildness protects our spirituality and promotes peace. Practical Lesson: When we are provoked or treated unjustly, we can resist the tendency to react harshly. Imitating Isaac means remaining calm, avoiding unnecessary disputes, and trusting that Jehovah will take care of the situation. Developing a “quiet and mild spirit” helps us preserve peace in the family and in the congregation, and maintain a good friendship with God.
