Since there are already many like you saying the same things and using the Bible to justify their doctrines, how do you prove that you are the one people should choose instead of someone else? Moreover, does the Bible say that a person would appear on an internet forum saying that we should...

If we look at a photo of a meteor or asteroid traveling through space, what we see is the same as if we were looking at a rock: an object with a deformed mass, whose surface is only rocky, rough, nothing but inert material. When the Bible describes what the earth was like before it began to be...

In Colossians 4:16, Paul refers to a letter he penned to the church in Laodicea. However, this letter is absent from the recognized canon. It evidently wasn't meant for our era, and although it might have been beneficial for the believers back then, it wasn't necessary for us. We can be sure...

Within the congregations (organized communities) that are led by Jesus, there are people assigned to judge the anti-Christian behavior of their members. In the Bible, these service positions are called in Greek ἐπισκοπή and διάκονος (1 Tim. 3:1, 8). These people are responsible for keeping these...

Everything in the Bible is inspired. If there is something which was not, then it's not part of the Bible. It's understood that numerous writings from early Christians in the first century existed, and Paul might have penned additional letters. Why aren't these included in the canon? They were...

Jesus completely agreed with the existence of only one God to worship: John 17:3 This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

I can't find any answers to my questions in that comment. Should I interpret your response as cryptic?hmn It feels like an automated reply, as if generated by a machine rather than a human. I apologize, but I'm not keen on engaging in such a conversation. Regardless, thank you for the...

According to the doctrine, not to the Bible. There is no Greek language where the verbal form "was" means "always was," nor is there a modern language either. You seem to believe that Catholic Councils has anything to add to biblical understanding. Well, you're wrong. Nah. None of those...

We know God and Jesus because we study the Bible. If you doubt a Christian writer that God used to write more than half of the books that make up the NT, what are you left with?

Which church? Which "false doctrines"? All and each one of the more than 40 thousands sects, communities and religious institutions, beside all and each one of the independent individuals with personal interpretations who call themselves "Christian" have doctrinal differences in more than one...

You have said too many times that you suffer from hatred, so the least I can say after reading you repeat it so much is sorrow. Perhaps you feel so distressed because you do not believe that the hatred in the world will end. But that is a promise from God, not mine: Psa. 37:10 Just a little...

I feel sorry for you. Maybe you should look for better company. In any case, the hatred that exists in the world will soon end. To suffer hatred for being a Christian is the sweetest hatred one can suffer. :gd

I don't know what you are trying to say. This is what I added to your question: we must take seriously everything Paul wrote, since it's part of God's Word. For example, David wrote: Psal. 41:9 Even the man at peace with me, one whom I trusted, Who was eating my bread, has lifted his heel...

"To introduce us to God" following his instructions, not changing them to our liking and convenience.

Even if I know there is hatred in the world, I still don't get your point. Can be more specific about one of those "doctrines"? True Christians certainly only preach and practice love. Jehovah's Witnesses have been hated and mistreated in many ways by many people who call themselves...

Yes, he did. And it is still the same way today in "biblical" Christian congregations. Christians do not march alongside the world, following its ideas of what is right and what is not. Christians obey biblical instructions even if the world is scandalized. For example: should pastors allow...

Can you mention one of those doctrines? I have never heard that hatred is a doctrine related to the teachings of the Bible or Jesus Christ.

Trinitarians (vs. Unitarians) argue that Jesus' pre-existence supports their belief in a triune deity, yet his existence in heaven before his earthly birth does not prove he had no beginning. We, Jehovah's Witnesses, understand that Jesus was present with God during the creation of the...

I don't know any of those "doctrines". Can you mention at least one of them, please?

It is, unless you think that the Bible, included Paul's letters, is not "the Word of God". Just as the Jewish people viewed the Law, the Prophets, and other Writings as divinely inspired, early Christians in the second century AD saw Paul's letters in the same light. These texts were considered...
