Can you, please, stop talking about yourself, and start talking about Jesus' teachings? Fictional stories on the internet often come from self-centered characters trying to draw attention to themselves. It is the way to impress others that false shepherds often use.

Good question. You can ask yourself this one, and maybe you'll get the answer: If someone wanted to follow Christ in the first century, could they do it on their own or did they need the apostles of Jesus?

Make sure you weren't born out of the wrong father, like these guys here. John 8:42 Jesus said to them: “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I have not come of my own initiative, but that One sent me. 43 Why do you not understand what I am saying...

Considering seriously what Paul says to the Thessalonians in 2 Thess. 2:9-12 ... I conclude that God delivers from religious lies and demonic practices people who sincerely love the truth and sincerely desire to do things the right way (John 8:32). Without a doubt, among the people Jesus refers...

I can understand how passionate you are about this matter. Without a doubt, if God gives someone miraculous power, who wouldn't feel privileged? But since there are so many deceitful emotions, psychological problems, and demonic activities that deceive many without their realizing it... you...

I am a JW. On one occasion I had to preach in a house where they practiced spiritism. My preaching partner realized that in an adjoining room they were doing a consultation with a spirit, so he told me while the person who received us left for a moment towards that other room. I told my...

Jude was not possessed ... Do you seriously believe that the holy spirit of God is a person, and that this person is incapable of casting a demon out of where he is?

Thanks. Then I ask: How is it possible that within a church so many people are speaking strange languages saying that it is the spirit of God, and among them there is someone possessed by demons? The logical thing is to conclude that in reality NONE of those people had the holy spirit of God...

We got many other testimonies about that modern practice. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2010735?q=Gift+of+Tongues&p=par Do you think the questions these honest Christians asked are reasonable?

"Real Supernatural Tongues" ... according to whom? To you? Some of my brothers were Pentecostal before. This brother of mine related: Read his testimony here https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/101976528 I believe what my brothers tell. I don't believe any internet story, since internet is...

Yes, I do. I am polyglot ... Neither do you. In the first century not many books were written because they were expensive and it was a luxury so you had to speak a lot... in many languages so that the truths of the kingdom of God would be known in far away places on earth. Today there are...

Well, if you are able to speak languages, you should also be able to write them... Why don't you show us the languages you know how to speak by writing them down? Then someone will be able to translate, as Paul says: 1 Cor. 14:5 Now I would like for all of you to speak in tongues, but I...

Two of the purposes of the first century "gift of tongues" were 1) to identify the community that truly had God's full support, and 2)to rapidly expand the truth of Christ's kingdom to territories with different languages. What today is called the same, does it fulfill any of those purposes?

Exactly. Since John died at the beginning of the second century, no one else has done through the spirit of Jehovah, any mighty work like the ones the apostles did. Where did modern "miracle artists" get the spirit to do these works if no one have been transferring those powers since John's...

I read there about "hearing God's voice" and "being able to literally converse with God" that you "received of the gifts of the Spirit (...) hearing God's voice". Anyone else listen that voice with you? Are you sure is God talking to you? I remember a few servants of God asking some proof that...

Yeah, good night ... and learn how to dance. Chkl:

So, you think I am gonna believe that YOU (whoever you call WE) do powerful works just because you say so, right? hmmx1:

I don't see any of YOU (whatever you mean with WE) doing those works. You quoting a biblical passage (that is not even in most modern translations) does not prove that YOU (those you call WE) do anything of what it says. Are you playing some kind of game? Is there any modern Christian...

Can you? :rolleyes:

Not my intention. Pointing out exactly what I said: nobody can apply to himself everything that Jesus said to the apostles ... it is not only being naive but also daring. No person today performs the miracles of the prophets, nor those of the apostles, much less those of Jesus. It is obvious...
