Then I can ask is that a relevant question? If you say yes, then you've answered your own question. If you say no, then your question becomes irrelevant and meaningless. The best way to expose a contradiction is to flip the question on itself.

Where are you getting your standard of morality from to call something evil? Only God is good. He is the standard of morality. If this is not true, then it's merely an opinion, which means nothing is actually evil, it's all just opinions. So what you're doing is borrowing morality from God to...

I know you're making fun, but some people genuinely believe this line of thinking. If God is good, he has to punish evil. We have all done evil. Therefore, we all deserve punishment. Universal truth exists. This is a fact. Why? If you say "universal truth does not exist", I can ask you "can...

No it's not about wilful sin. Those people didn't say "but Lord I believed you died for my sins so I could continue sinning all I wanted"... They said "I did many mighty good things in your name".. they were trusting in themselves, and not in Jesus. "For whoever keeps the whole law and yet...

To further this point, there are many people in Islam who believe their good deeds will save them. They believe in helping the poor, praying 5 times a day, and fasting. The Pharisees also believed it was their works that saved them. But your works will never be enough to save you. The only...

Keiw, we're going in circles here. Matt 7:21-23 refers to people who are trusting in their works to earn their salvation. Notice they say "did we not do this? Did we not do that?" - that is going to be you. You're going to say to the Lord "but I did many good deeds Lord!" And he will say to you...

You didn't answer any of my questions. We're not disagreeing that you have to obey Jesus. We're disagreeing that the GB/Watchtower has been appointed by God. So answer my questions. Also the protestant church has corrected many things. However: Did the faithful prophets of old ever falsely...

So back to my questions: What is the evidence that the Watchtower/GB is God's appointed? Why do they continually change their minds on very important issues if they're appointed by God to teach? Did the faithful prophets of old ever falsely teach and falsely prophesy, or change their minds on...

You say the GB are appointed, yet they are in charge of the Watchtower magazine. They have made many, very serious errors. If you say the only reason they are true is because they fix their errors, then might I remind you of the protestant churches. The reason we have so many different...

This has nothing to do with religions or errors. The Bible says what it says, and it was written down by the prophets as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. Most branches of Christianity agree on the fundamental truths. The separation occurs only with smaller issues that aren't even that...

Though it does seem that when people swear by the Bible in court it's unbiblical lol.

This makes a lot of sense: What does the Bible say about keeping your vows / oaths? | GotQuestions.org When people get married their vows are simply "yes" and "I do". And when they say their piece, they're not swearing by anything. It's just a promise. I think the main idea is if you're going...

It's not literally his blood, and the bread isn't literally his body. It's just a metaphor for what he did for us and we do it in remembrance.

What is the evidence that the Watchtower is God's appointed? Why do they continually change their minds on very important issues if they're appointed by God to teach? Did the faithful prophets of old ever falsely teach and falsely prophesy, or change their minds on what God had supposedly said...

The point is why is it allowed if it comes from blood? People had to donate blood and that blood had to be stored in order to make the fractions, but that isn't allowed by the Watchtower. And significantly more blood is needed to make the fractions than just a regular transfusion (9-10x the...

You didn't read what I said. Here's what I asked about abstaining: If abstaining from blood does not allow taking a "major" fraction, why does it allow a fraction of a fraction? If blood fractions were always acceptable to Jehovah, who is responsible for the Witnesses that needlessly died...

Are the prohibitions on blood transfusions God's will, or the Watchtower's? The numbers the Watchtower uses to show complications that arise from blood transfusions is seriously outdated. Their latest source is from the 1980s. The medicine has improved significantly since then. But I would...

I've updated the document to include the Watchtower's changing stance on blood transfusions

Saying they created better methods because of the Watchtower's false teachings is nothing but damage control. You acknowledging this actually proves you're aware that getting blood transfusions saves significantly more lives than it takes. Because they wouldn't have had to resort to such methods...

Convenient of you to miss the bold text in my other post: "All reasonable minds must conclude that it was not the eating of the blood that God objected to, but it was bringing the blood of the beast in contact with the blood of man." Golden Age 1931 Feb 4 p.294 - WATCHTOWER SOURCE (do CTRL+F...
