    We really CAN'T answer some of these

    Our friend Dave like many Christians has only half the gospel, some believe in only the earthly phase of the kingdom (that heaven will be here on earth), while others believe only in the heavenly phase of the kingdom and that the earth is destined to destruction. The Scriptures however teach...

    We really CAN'T answer some of these

    There are actually four views of the Gospel, the gospel according to Catholicism, according to Calvinism, according to Arminianism, and then there is the True Gospel, the gospel which the Apostle Paul was not ashamed. This last gospel is that which the angels proclaim at the birth of our Lord...

    Conversion after death

    It may be if you hold to the teachings of the church nominal, but not according to the Word of God, to the scriptures.

    The Study of Revelation, Part 70

    Revelation Chapter 5 VERSE 2 “Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?” THEN I SAW: Here is another marker. John wants now to draw our attention away from the hand and book and toward something else. A STRONG ANGEL: Who...

    The necessity of the Trinity

    As we had stated in Post #242 the difference between us is that you believe the Great Crowd to be an earthly class while we believe they are a heavenly class. As this subject is not the focus of this particular thread I have explained our reasoning on my blog page under the article entitled...

    The Great Company, Who are they? Part 2

    “After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of (or from) all nations, tribes, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands” (Rev 7:9) This particular company is said to be STANDING...

    “After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of (or from) all nations, tribes, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands” (Rev 7:9) This group of individuals consists of an “unknown...

    The necessity of the Trinity

    We are in full agreement with you in respects to the earthly phase of the kingdom, however you are mistaken in your assumption that we believe that all believers share in the heavenly calling. The majority of professed believers having been misled have never fully consecrated themselves to the...

    The necessity of the Trinity

    The text is not corrupted it is correctly translated, the professing church (the church nominal) refuses to accept the correct translation of the text because it exposes their error, it would take away one of their main supporting text for their false doctrine. Thus they chose to ignore it and...

    The necessity of the Trinity

    We are in agreement with you that both the Trinitarian doctrine and the belief that man possesses an immortal soul is false (and we might add the third most widely held error in the nominal church, the doctrine of eternal torment as the wages of sin) all three of of theses errors stand in direct...

    The necessity of the Trinity

    Nothing in any of the various titles and descriptions of the Holy Spirit substantiates the popular conception of the Holy Spirit as a third God. The various designations, “Spirit of Truth,” “Spirit of Love,” etc., are plainly used in contrast with the opposite spirit, “The Spirit of Error,” “The...

    The necessity of the Trinity

    A combination of both. Anyone possessed of the "spirit of a sound mind" ought to be able to simply read the scriptures and ascertain for themselves the truth on this issue. The problem is that most are wearing the colored glasses of the creeds and thus are restricted in what they should believe.

    The necessity of the Trinity

    All "solid Christians" according to whom? To You? To Orthodoxy? The world loves its own. So your faith in the teachings of these men doesn't make you a follower of them, yet you accuse me of being a follower of Russell for having faith in his teachings, sounds a bit like hypocrisy to me.

    The necessity of the Trinity

    I believe post #'s 147 and 159 under the thread, "Are You Saved Because You Believe OR Do You Believe Because You Are Saved?" pretty well sums it up, however if you have a more specific thought or question in mind please asked.

    The necessity of the Trinity

    Yes I am a Bible Student, however despite what some on this site may imagine my non-trinitarian views did no originate with the Bible Students and Pastor Russell. Even before I became a Bible Student when I was still a Baptist I never believed in the trinity, it just made no sense, and with each...

    Chronology and Prophecy, Part 2

    Without Chronology, the Interpretation Goes Astray Many of those who attempt to interpret Revelation don't see that the time periods of 1260 days, 42 months, and 3 ½ years are NOT to be interpreted as LITERAL time periods. For that reason, they think that many of the events fall into a future 3...

    Chronology and Prophecy, Part 1

    Many Christians are unaware of just how important the study of Chronology is in relationship to prophecy, especially in the study of the book of Revelation, and as such have no idea of where precisely they are on the stream of time or of impending events. Bible Chronology not only confirms that...

    The necessity of the Trinity

    Sorry but the only way in which the Trinity is supported by scripture is if the scriptures are wrestled and twisted, something which the apostate church has had plenty of time to perfect.

    The necessity of the Trinity

    Well then applying the same logic, If the trinity doctrine is false, all who accept it worship an idol bearing Jesus' And as you say, "what fellowship has light with darkness? So should we likewise steer clear of these as far as concerns fellowship? Nor does rejecting the Trinity imply that...
