So who was James speaking to in James 1:1? To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: Greetings. 2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces [a]patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be...

Thanks for all scriptural support

Actually, we were here first, even the Jehovah's Witnesses admit that the Bible Students started the Watchtower Society. It was simply a publishing house in those days, nothing more. After the death of C.T. Russell, the new leadership didn't honor his last will and testament causing a split...

So what does it qualify as?

In Revelation 17:3, notice how Babylon, the mother of harlots is described: “and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy having seven heads and 10 horns” Babylon is described as a woman and a woman in Bible prophecy symbolizes a church, for example the...

So why aren't there Jehovah's Witness schools? Agreed, with a slight adjustment. The Theocracy is ruled by The Christ, head and body (Jesus and his Church). I don't defend them, I simply understand them. For instance, we live in a society that resembles a bar scene from a Star Wars movie, all...

Who says school is not for spiritual education? There was a time at least in the United States where religion was taught in public schools. I recall reciting the Lord's prayer every morning before class. I also recall in my grade school's world history book, a whole chapter on Jesus. True...

Sorry, but what does that have to do with the topic at handf? And who is to say if such lessons in schools will not spark someone's interest in wanting to investigate the Scriptures more? Exactly my point Yes, HE reads the heart, NOT you or I.

Well Jane, here in America, we have a thing called "no child left behind," which mean, no matter how dumb a child is, the teachers are going to promote them. When I was in school, you got left behind to repeat the grade if you couldn't pass the subject. The school systems are so woke that they...

Well, considering what they're teaching our kids now, can't be any worse

Because movies are always accurate, right?

And what exactly does 1 Peter 2:8 mean? Can you break it down for us? And why must the Church suffer? For what purpose?

So Jesus came into the world, called us so we can sharpen each other?

We have a duty to love God and a duty to love one another

But does she have a purpose? All these parables are for a reason, what's the reason?

I think you're confused.

DUTY-LOVE (PHILEO) ILLUSTRATED. "He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." – Matt. 10:37. Duty-love to our family relatives is right, but it must not equal our duty-love toward the Lord, else we can...
