JW’s do not practice interfaith, but we try as best we can to follow Jesus’ teachings to the letter...”just so”, not making excuses for NOT doing as Christ commanded....he told us to take “the good news of the Kingdom” out to the people, (Matt 10:11-14)....a work only accomplished on a global...

No one can remove the severity of God’s actions because complete destruction awaits those who fail to obey the Christ in all that he taught. We see in John 3:16 that “eternal life” is contrasted with “perishing”...a word that means to “destroy utterly”. So there is no room there for eternal...

That is a great story, but not one told by Jesus.....it illustrates an important point though......”inspect what you sell your soul for......BEFORE you buy it.” Had the man inspected what he paid so dearly for, he would have seen the sign and withdrew his interest in the ‘property’. This is why...

Sorry but that is a big red flag…. God has one instruction manual….just one….and all we need to know is contained in that one book. Jesus taught from that book and so did his apostles. Any excursions outside of that book is from a questionable source which cannot be verified. What would happen...

I’d like to hear how you think this parable is literal…..taking into account what Jews believed about death and Sheol/hades….(Eccl 9:5, 10; Eccl 3:19-20; Psalm 115:17) And what Jesus taught “Gehenna” to be….? (Matt 23:33) I have read it many times and would love to discuss it…..

There is a danger in quoting verses out of context…..John 3 is a good example. Lets look at the context and see what Jesus was saying here, and to whom he said it. This is Jesus receiving a clandestine visit from one of the Pharisees who sought a private audience with Jesus. He came under cover...

Only in your mind. One wonders how many others share your beliefs? Are you self taught? OK....how about we get to the nitty gritty here and ask how the mechanics of redemption work and what redemption meant to Jews under Law....because if you don’t understand why a “sinless” Jesus had to come...

We love mayhem here…..it’s what we feast on LOL…:Broadly: boxing

Lots to learn here Brandon…..open minds and hearts, welcome. :kiaora:

And is this supposed to be a reiteration of Exodus 3:15? John 8:58 has no connection whatsoever to Exodus 3:15. Have you read this passage in the Jewish Tanakh? Read it carefully and see what God’s name means in Hebrew…..this is not God telling Israel that he exists…because they already knew...

Let’s take your ‘proof texts’ one at a time….but please know that none of these texts say what you have been taught by your own teachers….. What does ”Immanuel” mean?……..“With us is God”.….And was God “with” Jesus?…..and wasn’t Jesus “with“ God….and was God “with” his people Israel all through...

I am not obfuscating anything, but correcting an obfuscation that took place when “Christianity“ accepted the pagan Greek idea of the immortal soul. There is no such thing as an immortal soul….you will not find those words side by side in any passage of scripture. Jesus never taught that a...

That’s a question based on a religious lie…we all “go to hell” when we die……it is nothing more sinister that the common grave that receives all our dead. Those in the grave can see nothing, feel nothing, do nothing….they “sleep in death”, which is what Jews believed and also what Christ taught...

John 1:1 reads in Greek like John 10 does….. “In the beginning G746 was the Word, G3056 and the Word G3056 was with God, G2316 (HO THEOS) and the Word G3056 was God. G2316 (theos)” I can see who is guilty of polytheism……the ones ignorantly pointing fingers at us. We have one God with one...

You run into a problem right there…..because God had no “beginning”…..he is “eternal” which means “no beginning or end”……so what “beginning” is this? And how can God be “with” God except in a doctrine that puts three gods into one “head”….nowhere does the Bible say anything like that. The...

Nowhere in Scripture do we find such a scenario. Why would God “pre-select a few” as worthy of life, whilst he created the majority to suffer a punishment for which they carry no blame? Where is there justice in that idea? It makes God into a tyrannical despot who creates for the purpose of...

@Berean…..let’s just allow Jesus be the judge and continue to not put men on a pedestal, but rather to get on with the work Jesus assigned to all of his disciples….he had 12 apostles to carry on the work after he left, so why woul it be strange to have a body of men to oversee the worldwide work...

“God is love”…he is the epitome of all that love is….but again, his love and his justice are balanced. Justice demanded a human life to pay the debt of sin that Adam gave to all his children….Love was the motivation that sent Christ to pay that ransom. But Jesus actually offered all of his...

:Ohpleze: Despite you being shown multiple times that the devil is real and even tempted the son of God in his futile attempt to derail his mission, you still refuse to believe he exists. Jesus had no sin nature to overcome in his humanity, so the temptation was from an external source. He is...

If we want to know who Jehovah is, all we need to do is read about Jesus, who was the exact representation of his Father in mortal flesh. He ‘showed us the Father’….in all he said and did….a real life demonstration of who Jehovah is, was, and always will be. Like it or not….God created mankind...
