So, what should be call these servants of Satan? How would you deal with their most basic heresy? John 1:1 says: "In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God and the Word was God." JWs/Satan has changed that Scripture to read: "In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God...

The word cult, is a word defined as: "A relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or as imposing excessive control over members." I don't understand your problem with speaking plain English to designate something in English! What word...

Yeah, they have a few canned speeches, but get outside their prepping, they are totally lost. My son was telling me tonight of JW visits. Their "bible" has been so munged and altered to fit their religion, that it has little similarity to real Scripture. The fact is, that true Scripture...

The Bible seems to take a different approach: "Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them." Eph 5:11

They used to proclaim, i.e. lie, that the 144,000 were all JWs and they were the only ones going to heaven. The when their numbers increased beyond 144,000 they had to make an amendment: 144,000 will go to Heaven, and another 144,000 will remain here on earth. JW's have come to my house, and...

Obviously he was not talking about wine, because it does not inevitably lead to sin, nor cause immediate damage to the body. Maybe he was talking about a Mickey is a drink laced with a psychoactive drug or incapacitating agent.

According to Ellicott: It was clearly something at once nauseous and narcotic, given by the merciful to dull the pain of execution, and mixed with the sour wine of the country and with myrrh to make it drinkable. It may have been hemlock, or even poppy-juice,

It’s a feature of organized religion that denies that we have been freed from the Law, and start to manufacture their own laws: Jesus replied, “And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to...

Same rule applies today: “Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into your automobile, lest ye die".

A lot of churches offer wine for communion, in keeping with Christ's comment while holding a glass of wine, to do it in remembrance of Him. He never said that about grape juice.

substance. 1 of one thing I am certain, that the Bible was translated by teams of the very top scholars, and when the original was “wine” that is exactly the way they translated it. And when the original referred to grape juice, that’s the way it was translated it. Then, along comes @GEN2REV...

I have been playing the stock market as my sole source of income for the past 25 years, and it certainly doesn’t violate Scriptural teaching. The stock market provides me with a convenient way to become one of the partners with large corporations. The idea that it is somehow evil to be a partner...

It would be nice if the elders would bring a bottle or two of fine wine. The stuff they serve at the hospital is okay, but the stuff they had at my long term care facility made abstinence the preferred option.

God has given us wine for our enjoyment, and it can be enjoyed, and it can be abused. But wine is just a small player in the gifts God has given us that can be abused. The big one is SEX! Wow! What wonderful pleasure He has given us, but when abused is the most common gift that destroys life big...

Wow! You seemed to be completely consumed with discipline! As I look back over my 80 years, and see my grandchildren all consumed and sparkling with love and dedication to God, I am reminded of that verse that says that the sins of the fathers will be passed onto the third and fourth...

This is SO silly. The Corinthians were not celebrating Passover!!!! They weren't even Jewish. They were just celebrating their weekly church service, which started out with dinner. The whole problem here was a matter of sharing!! The rich attended bringing lots of booze and food for themselves...

That part of the passage is specifically directed to kings and rulers. Was it an intentional deception on your part to delete the remainder which says to "Give strong drink to one who is perishing, and wine to the bitter in soul. let him drink and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no...

You tend to be an amazingly slow learner, if not completely resistant to learning. 1. The Bible very definitely uses the word wine or the word grape juice as appropriate. 2. It is impossible that grape juice could exist 6 months after harvest without turning into wine, 3. Wine is always used...

Wine is the Biblical medicine for a whole lot of ailments. Timothy's dosage information was ld to take a little wine, but for severe ailments, the dosage is significantly increased: Give strong drink to him who is perishing, And wine to him whose life is bitter. Let him drink and forget his...

You seem to embrace wine as a source of misery, and if that provides some sort of satisfaction then go for it, and enjoy your misery. I take a different path. Wine is a gift to mankind as a symbol of joy and gladness: "Wine to gladden the heart of man" Psalm 104. "Go then, eat your bread in...
