    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    Jesus sent his disciples out to find those who were “worthy” of the kingdom. (Matt 10:11-14) And when they found those worthy ones (those who embraced the Christian message) they were to stay and educate them. (Matt 28:19-20) These in turn would bring their lives into harmony with God’s truth...

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    I am not promoting a specific day of the week to worship God or to carry out no work. Sunday is of Roman Catholic origin….not of biblical origin. Christians were not mandated to observe a Sabbath at all, but there is certainly nothing wrong with setting aside any day of the week to rest or to...

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    Can you qualify “ascendency….in all matters”? Jesus the Christ was a humble “servant” of his God and Father (Acts 4:27, 30)….his “ascendency” does not rise above that of Yahweh….the one the Bible calls “the Most High over all the earth” (Psalm 83:18) The one who is appointed as our High...

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    No avoidance….my beliefs are all over these boards…..I was going to give you the opportunity to tell us what you believe QT, since you seem reluctant to share much, but assume that we know what you believe…somehow. The questions I put to you were about the Kingdom of God….what it is, how it “...

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    OK…”Got Question.Org“ is a resource that promotes Christendom’s beliefs and uses them to dispel the beliefs of all kinds of sects….. So what makes you think that “Got Questions” is a reliable source of truth? Is it because it supports what you want to believe….and so if they say JW’s theology is...

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    Well that is a good challenge…”the message” is about God’s Kingdom….whenever we speak about God’s Kingdom, it’s interesting that when I ask anyone about God’s Kingdom, those who identify as “Christians” are hard pressed to tell me what it is….how it comes….and what it accomplishes…. So what is...

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    Yes, where do Christendom’s beliefs come from? I was raised in Christendom, so I have been on both sides of this fence…have you? Would it ever occur to you that the devil did exactly what Jesus and his apostles warned about? He created a counterfeit “Christianity” with which he misled the...

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    1 Cor 14:8-11…..Paul addressed this very problem…. ”8  For if the trumpet sounds an indistinct call, who will get ready for battle? 9  In the same way, unless you with the tongue use speech that is easily understood, how will anyone know what is being said? You will, in fact, be speaking into...

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    It is my response to what I think you might have said…..in case you don’t know QT, your views are on a very different wavelength to what many here might describe as coherent commentary. You seem to think outside any box I have encountered in many years of posting on forums like this. You post...

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    I propose to teach what the Bible says actually……but thank you for posting that info…I hope people people found it useful…. We are in the “Unorthodox” forum, and hence we post about unorthodox subjects. Are you here to defend orthodox beliefs? If so, then fire away….that is what this forum is...

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    I don’t find much to be cryptic in Jesus’ teachings TBH. When the disciples wanted to know the meaning of a parable, they asked and Jesus explained. It’s all recorded for us. Not everything is a metaphor….things can get a little complicated when you try to read something cryptic into every...

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    Deep and meaningful. Not a response to any question asked, but just that….ooooh beware the Jehovah’s Witness who ask questions we cannot answer…. You know, I’ll bet the Pharisees said the same kind of thing to the Jews who found Jesus’ preaching to be somewhat more scripturally sound than the...

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    Can you provide Scripture that mentions a Sabbath observance by those who predated the formation of the nation of Israel, to whom the Sabbath law was mandated? And can you show me where the early Christians observed a Sabbath after the death of Christ? All the first Christians were Jewish and...

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    It’s impossible to get anywhere with someone who cannot articulate anything in a clear and concise sentence. You speak in riddles that only you seem to understand. I give up…..seriously….You think people are mind readers….I am not good at that.

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    Well, I went back and re read your post and still didn’t get any particular points apart from the general criticism of JW’s for which you miss no opportunity for some reason. Your vague replies generally make no sense to me, but I am sure they are deep and meaningful to you…. Unless the...

    I know, that’s why I thought you may want to raise some valid points for the sake of the discussion….?

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    What was “the house of the LORD” in David’s day? What did the young Jesus say to his parents when he went missing and they found him in deep discussion with the rabbis? (Luke 2:46-49) What did Jesus say when he found the merchants selling livestock on the Temple grounds? (John 2:16) “The house...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    Do you disagree? If you do, can you provide Scriptural evidence for an “immortal soul” and tell me why in all of scripture these two words are never found side by side in one single verse? If the trinity is illogical, what about the fact that the Bible does not mention an immortal soul either?

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    QT, since you obviously have no denomination for which you plug.....what has that got to do with me? Every person here is plugging the beliefs of their denomination even if they are the only one in it....does that describe you? Is it even possible to be a “Christian” without a brotherhood who...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    Since the Bible does not teach that we “have” a soul....but that we “are” a soul (as long as breath is in our lungs causing our heart to beat and our brain to function)....Plato was a pagan Greek philosopher...and influenced later “Christian” theology.....he was not a Christian, nor was he the...
