People who used to not believe in Hell. They’ll be convinced in the end

She says she does her own research but comes to the exact same conclusions as other JWs,

Luke 16:19-31 is not a parable. In which parables are names mentioned? There aren’t any

That kind of unity can only be reached by following the leader. You didn’t reach those conclusions on your own.

Were they? So you didn’t read my responses. That’s okay I skimmed through some of your long ones

It seems the only way to make peace with you is to agree with you and I just don’t. I don’t agree at all that only 144,000 will go to heaven. I don’t believe there are two classes of Christians (the heavenly hope and the earthly hope). Your arguments do not persuade me. My girlfriend didn’t...

I haven’t seen any posts from people who are changing their beliefs based on what you or I posted

I haven’t really talked that much about my beliefs that I recall.

For all the effort I wonder if anyone else reads our posts but you and me and maybe two other people.

I’m really just wondering which of my beliefs I can’t defend. Most of the discussions have been about your beliefs. Do you read and speak Greek or have you just answered the same issues so often you pretty much have it memorized?

I’m actually a little annoyed by your characterization of things but others can read and judge for themselves. You’ve given them plenty of material.

We are so blessed to have you. It seems you have reached enlightenment.

That’s what friends are for. No one is ever right but you with your heads I win tails you lose arguments

It’s easily explained. Unfortunately it’s a violation of forum rules to get into that discussion.

Something else to consider: While JW's won't care about what early Christians believed or said, as they believe the Church fell into apostasy. It seems worth noting, at least for your own benefit, that if this were the case, that ho theos always refers to "Jehovah", and theos is just "a god"...

From a friend, JW's will argue that in John 1:1 Jesus is "theos" whereas Jehovah is "ho theos". The claim they are trying to make is that Jesus is "a god" rather than "the God". It's a bad argument, and there are people far more adept at Greek who can explain why far better than I can. But the...

Again you should take your own advice. You only assume that your beliefs are the only ones that are right.

I’ve seen this explanation and like many of your posts it seems we can only understand the Bible if we have the right secret decoder ring. I have to wonder why God made it so complicated

Isa 7:14 - Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Now insert your interpretation- Therefore the Lord shall give you a sign; Behold a young woman shall conceive and bear a son. Young women conceive...

If John 1 says the word was a god doesn’t that make 2 Gods? A God and a god? This makes Jesus a lesser god. I only have one God.
