And there he is in all his glory….defending himself with no real defense, just attack as if we don’t see the motivation behind his empty words. Behold you portray yourself as a believer in Jesus Christ…a “born again” Christian, but when it comes down to the wire, this is all we get. Where are...

I actually gave you a detailed account about how I came out of Christendom and accepted ‘the truth that set me free’ from the shackles of false Christianity. Ignored it as usual…. Get me where? What “hell” is that exactly?…..Sheol? Hades? Gehenna? The lake of fire? Pick one. The spirit is the...

Guys like him are all bluster, but when face to face with the hard questions…all you get is distraction so you hopefully won’t notice that he has no scriptural response….he has doctrine…imbedded and unmovable. He is his own messiah….no one can question him…..except maybe the one he claims is...

According to the Jewish Tanakh, God’s name means “I Will Be What I Will Be”. He did not need to tell the Israelites that he existed, because they already knew who he was, having resided in Egypt as a separate people, who were welcomed in the beginning of their sojourn in Egypt by their long lost...

Thank you…at least it’s good to know that there are some who can read with comprehension and who are not athletic when it comes to jumping to wrong conclusions. The twisted half truths are worse than outright lies, but you will never convince some as Jesus said….we are to “shake the dust off”...

You respond to Jesus’ commentary with no understanding at all as to what “Gehenna” is, and how it differs from “hades”. These words, both translated as “hell” bear no resemblance to what these words mean in their original language. Again you conflate the “soul” with the “spirit”….two different...

Oh dear…how do you know that what you believe isn’t a delusion?…..look back at the first century and see the pattern…..it wasn’t the majority who accepted Jesus…..it was a small remnant of the nation of Israel who did so against all the howling down that Jesus and his apostles received for...

Show me where God’s first purpose for this earth and humankind upon it, ever changed? Since those chosen for a role in heaven are called ”firstfruits to God and to the Lamb” it makes sense that they were called “first”. So, those “called” in the first century would have been part of the elect...

This is sad 2bme….what has led you to this point in your life? There are soup kitchens in Melbourne I assume? Do you have some kind of employment? If not, is there a reason? No family to help you out or is your username also an explanation? Does your agnosticism result from past “church”...

Do you want to accept what is stated by this person as truth? Can it be because you already have prejudice against JW’s? Have you ever actually asked us what we believe and why? I do not post that which I cannot back up with Scripture. I have been a student and teacher of God’s word for many...

I posted the scripture that all first century Christians relied upon to teach the truth about death and the coming resurrection…..it’s all laid out in the Hebrew Scriptures. ”Hell” is “hades” and hades is “sheol” which the Jews were taught was an unconscious condition where the dead awaited...

We are discussing the Greek language which had no word for a god (“theos”) with no name. I offered you the reasons why they used the definite article to distinguish Yahweh from all other gods. Have you ignored that? Indeed, as the Hebrew Scriptures clearly show, the Jews worshipped “one...

That is not what the Bible teaches at all. Funny….the Bible says that all humankind end up in “hell”….regardless of what religion they are. How do you not know this? All you need to do is find out what “hell” really is in the Bible. Two words…one in Hebrew and the other in Greek tell us what...

Why do you think God went to all the trouble to create a beautiful place for mortal humans to live if it wasn’t going to be permanent? Heaven is already occupied by myriads of angels, who were all created to live there….but God created humans to live on earth….and their population was to be...

Perhaps a study in the Hebrew Scriptures might have solved the dilemma for you. What Scripture did Jesus and his apostles quote from at a time when the NT was not yet completed. What name did Moses take to the Israelites? It wasn’t “Father”. Read Psalm 83:18 in your KJV.

Of course real faith is not just mental agreement or even acknowledgment….it requires action….and the main focus of that action from both Jesus and the apostles, was centered on the preaching work. it was Jesus‘ last instruction to his disciples before he left. (Matt 28:19-20) If faith without...

More often than not these were descriptive names.…often incorporating God’s name or a reference to him. A title can be held by more than one person. A title is usually an address of respect, like “Sir”….but it does not replace a name, because Jesus and his Father were both addressed as “Lord”…...

Oh look…another anti-JW rant….any excuse apparently brings out the irresistible urge to make up stuff about JW’s. I’m not sure if the lies are deliberate or whether this person simply never listened to anthing their own family taught them…. Jesus is not Yahweh….he never was. The Father has a...

If you have to ask what Christian “works” are, then how can you call yourself a Christian. What works did Jesus send his disciples out to do, until “the end of the age”? A work that Jesus said he would be “with them” in carrying it out. (Matt 10:11-13; Matt 23:14; Matt 28:19-20) It required...

Reading the book, as it has been preserved down through history, despite many attempts to destroy it, to me means accepting what God’s word says as his inspired truth, (2 Tim 3:16-17) rather than the multitude of people who seem to have direct communication with God, and his spirit speaks a...
