    Is it possible to be SCRIPTURALLY CORRECT AND NOT BE SPIRITUALLY CORRECT?

    My shortest possible answer is this: to be "spiritually correct" you must first be "scripturally correct" ... unless you mean something different with those two phrases than what I perceive.

    Looking realistically at ourselves.

    Exaggerations. It seems that YOU do not like to follow the instructions of the holy spirit that we received through the anointed ones of the first century.

    DON'T REJECT PAUL

    I have never heard a Christian say that we should obey Paul. It is like saying that the Jews obeyed Moses when they followed the Law.

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    I agree. That is a mechanistic approach, relying solely on the decontextualization of texts. Such a form of biblical interpretation is materialistic, dialectical and purely intellectual, akin to terms like "carnal". Relying exclusively on this approach will prevent us from achieving a true...

    1 JOHN WAS WRITTEN TO ISRAEL

    Yes. Acts 1:6 So when they had assembled, they asked him: “Lord, are you restoring the kingdom to Israel at this time?” 7 He said to them: “It does not belong to you to know the times or seasons that the Father has placed in his own jurisdiction. 8 But you will receive power when the holy...

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    I agree with that. The internet is inundated with numerous efforts aimed at undermining the credibility of the Scriptures. At the core of these endeavors lies a singular force orchestrating these actions. The Devil seeks to obliterate the sole substantial source that provides Christians with...

    DON'T REJECT PAUL

    Who believes that? Aren't you the one who thinks others believe that?

    1 JOHN WAS WRITTEN TO ISRAEL

    Again: If John intended his letters for carnal Israel, why is there not a single direct quote from the Hebrew Scriptures included? I believe this strongly suggests that your perspective is mistaken: John addressed all the Christians of his time across all Christian congregations... which...

    Looking realistically at ourselves.

    Jesus treated the Scriptures like it was God's word (John 17:17). The Bible is the only secure, reliable, fixed and stable written document, through which we can directly know the divine principles, the thoughts of God, with direct and understandable words without great effort.

    1 JOHN WAS WRITTEN TO ISRAEL

    If that is the case, why there is not a single direct quote of the Hebrew Scriptures?

    The Never-Ending Kingdom (2 Ages)

    Are you serious? I mean no disrespect, but that doctrine is called preterism, and what we observe happening in the world completely contradicts that belief.

    DON'T REJECT PAUL

    Acts 9:10 There was a disciple named Ananias in Damascus, and the Lord said to him in a vision: “Ananias!” He said: “Here I am, Lord.” 11 The Lord said to him: “Get up, go to the street called Straight, and look for a man named Saul, from Tarsus, at the house of Judas. For look! he is praying...

    Looking realistically at ourselves.

    To learn the official teachings of the Governing Body of the worldwide community of Jehovah's Witnesses, you can access the official website where only they publish Bible studies and current topics related to the Bible. No one else can publish there, and no Witness in the world can speculate on...

    Looking realistically at ourselves.

    I understand what you say. Thanks for sharing your personal experience. In my case, since I learned from Jehovah's witnesses, I quickly realized that the teaching of their Governing Body was actually in agreement with what the Bible teaches on the hottest issues in the modern "Christian" world...

    Looking realistically at ourselves.

    I think doing the same Bereans did can help: Acts 17:10 Immediately by night the brothers sent both Paul and Silas to Beroea. On arriving, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they accepted the word with the greatest...

    Looking realistically at ourselves.

    In the first century, Christians who learned directly from Jesus had to teach the same things they received. Those who learned from them, in turn, had to teach based on those same early teachings. Those were the received truths that had to be preached before the end. When those truths were no...

    Is Sound Doctrine Essential for Salvation?

    In terms of participating in a forum, it's acceptable, but if we're considering what Jesus truly thinks, it's a different matter. Claiming that Jesus endorses certain teachings and practices without evidence is misleading... it distorts his image to fit individual preferences. To truly follow...

    "The heavens and the earth" were "created"--"WITHOUT FORM."

    After its creation, the earth was "formless and void," resembling a meteor or asteroid. Even the planets we recognize today are unlike our planet once it was reformed to support "physical" life. If imagining the earth before its transformation is challenging, consider a rock. Though rocks are...

    "The heavens and the earth" were "created"--"WITHOUT FORM."

    Don't hold me responsible for your lack of understanding about the cosmos' structure. Your perspective is limited to "planet Earth," while God is the Creator of the entire Universe, encompassing all stars, galaxies, galaxy clusters, and beyond. You're simply a grain of sand in some tiny...

    "The heavens and the earth" were "created"--"WITHOUT FORM."

    Long before creating a planet to inhabit it with living beings, there were places in the heavens that are invisible to our eyes and where millions of beings live in the form of spirits. The earth was part of many astral bodies that fill the material Universe, of which we do not know what use...
