    The testimony of an ex Jehovah's witness Elder.

    In My example Mia is captive, and Ella is trying to set her free from the captivity. I Understand the point your trying to make, that being witch hunter is to be captive to Hunting witches, but There is the truth that witchcraft exists and sometimes it is better to be a witch hunter than to be...

    Bible alone?

    We have one Lord, and one Master who is Christ Jesus, all the rest are brethren. (Matthew 23:5-12) Read these verses as these are the instructions of Christ himself. We have one authority we submit to and that is to God. This is the only hierarchy in the church. We respect elders of the faith...

    The testimony of an ex Jehovah's witness Elder.

    Setting captives free is not a bad fruit. And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the...

    The testimony of an ex Jehovah's witness Elder.

    And I find your stance here an attitude of enabling cults by not exposing their corruption. In Other words you are not dealing with the reality of what cults are like. The Lives they destroy, how they manipulate, and who they use as their victims. Again, you would warn your children not to...

    Bible alone?

    The Rock on which the True church is built is the confession of Peter, "thou art the Christ the Son of the living God" Not Peter Himself as the RCC interprets this passage to mean. This is the very foundation of the testimony of Jesus on which Christian faith is based. The Church is an assembly...

    The testimony of an ex Jehovah's witness Elder.

    No, I changed the premise of your example to show you what cults are really like. I would rather have my children or new believers in the "anticult" mindset until they can think for themselves and defend their faith, The Cults prey on young believers more than any other group out there. I have...

    The testimony of an ex Jehovah's witness Elder.

    Always remember Pearl, that you are planting seeds. God does the growth, each of those seeds you planted will take time to mature. The elder was there to try and convince James otherwise, perhaps some of the discussion you had raising doubts in James about what he was taught, but many times...

    Bible alone?

    False. The Papacy is as much to blame for their silence as the Lutheran church in Germany. There are those saints who were not silent both of the Catholic and the protestant churches that paid with their lives, But they were few and far between. False: Seeing then that all these things shall...

    The testimony of an ex Jehovah's witness Elder.

    What You are Promoting here is enabling the person in the cult to remain so. Let us say that Mia is involved in a Cult that has Manipulated her into a sexual relationship with the leader of that Cult. She has now turned away from Ella Who is her biological sister, and no longer talks to her as...

    The testimony of an ex Jehovah's witness Elder.

    Which is what the article does do in the first place. I Do not think you even opened the link and read them? The first is a testimony of a former elder and the process he went through in arriving at the truth of who Jesus truly was. The second is a link that shows how cults manipulate their...

    Bible alone?

    The Church is NOT the Kingdom of God. This is the heart of where RCC error has started. The Kingdom of heaven is an earthly Kingdom where Messiah Rules in Jerusalem, Most Catholics do not believe in the premillennial view of end times instead they believe Christ set up his kingdom via the...

    No There is only one true Church which consists of all Christians. There are others masquerading around as churches, and they usually have a name to identify themselves with such as "Roman" "LUTHERan", "CALVINist" "Baptist" "Methodist", "Orthodox". Notice how man or doctrine is the center of...

    As Did I, I did my research in the Soc. Of Religion on the JW's, Part to of this was going to meetings reading the literature, interviewing the people. They were all very much like my little Baptist church I grew up in, having singing the same (or similar songs), the structure of their service...

    Jesus Christ is the head of the Body, Not the churches of men, Man's doctrines lead one into error, the Holy Ghost into the Truth. Christ in us is the Pillar and Ground of Truth. Your mixing a human organization, the institutional church with a living Body the body of Christ, the True church...
