    Strange teachings

    Even more important to get to know the author of the Bible, then ask Him to teach you His word.

    Strange teachings

    Jeremiah rightly said, the heart of man is deceitful above all things. We cannot trust our hearts/mind/intellect to discern right from wrong. So our salvation is certainly based on scripture, which in turn is made known to us through the Spirit of Christ dwelling within us. There are...

    Strange teachings

    Theoretically you are correct. Anything that contradicts scripture is indeed false. But @St. SteVen had a valid point. When the Reformation began in the 15th-16 century, everyone was coming out of Catholicism based on the evidence of scripture that exposed not only the false doctrines of Rome...

    The date of the destruction of Israel and the USA!

    No, no, and several times no. You may have the timing right, but your identification of Babylon the Great and the Antichrist are incorrect. Do a search on this site for Antichrist or Babylon the Great under my name, and you'll come up with the explanations.

    How can we gain God’s protection and survive amidst these disasters?

    I think you will find that the surprise only applies to those who are unbelievers, or those Christians who are asleep. . Those of us who have an ongoing relationship with Jesus and are watching for His return, will not be surprised. KJV 1 Thessalonians 5:2-6 2 For yourselves know perfectly that...

    A serious questions for the Jehovah's Witnesses on these threads.

    Should we be surprised that "modern scholars" would downgrade the literal begotten status of the Son of God to nothing more than a metaphor? The Bible refers to Christ as God’s Son at least 120 times. Forty-eight times using the phrase “Son of God.” Regarding the genuineness of Christ’s...

    How can we gain God’s protection and survive amidst these disasters?

    Hi Lena. KJV Malachi 3:6 6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. By the grace of God we are already preserved from destruction. The story of Job reveals that Satan would destroy each and every one of us if he had the freedom to do so. So there is...

    julie green--who is she?

    I'm thinking the impending paradigm of righteousness by politics as opposed to righteousness by faith to be implemented by the conservative right in an incoming Republican government... If that eventuates. As one can imagine, left wing secular groups are spitting tacks , so it's no secret what...

    A serious questions for the Jehovah's Witnesses on these threads.

    This may interest you. Charles Lee Irons, makes this observation “But what about the etymological argument that the –genēs portion of monogenēs comes from genos (“kind”) rather than gennao (“beget”)? This argument collapses once it is recognized that both genos and gennao derive from a common...

    A serious questions for the Jehovah's Witnesses on these threads.

    You do realise that I'm not a trinitarian? However, one doesn't need to believe in a trinity in order to accept the full divinity and Sonship of Christ.

    A serious questions for the Jehovah's Witnesses on these threads.

    KJV John 5:26 26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; Hard core trinitarians have difficulty explaining this, as do those who think the Son is not God begotten. The life (including its eternal nature, it's power, it's authority, and...

    A serious questions for the Jehovah's Witnesses on these threads.

    I repeated the above because no-one has actually addressed it adequately and offered as alternative argument. Either I am correct in the above assertions, or I am wrong. No-one has shown me where I am wrong. Exactly my point. The Father did indeed beget a Son, and that Son was revealed in all...

    A serious questions for the Jehovah's Witnesses on these threads.

    Exactly my point. The Father and Son cannot be of the same 'age'.... If in eternity one can measure age. But Jesus was begotten, which means He came into existence later, but of eternal substance. See John 8:42; 16:28; Like cutting a rock out of a mountain. The Rock is new, but consists of an...

    julie green--who is she?

    I think very few actually 'see' what the apostasy of the protestant church consists of and how and where it is revealing itself. Satan is all about deception. Nothing is as it appears. In fact, I would say that what many of you believe now to be God ordained and the right and proper course to...

    A serious questions for the Jehovah's Witnesses on these threads.

    The Sonship of Jesus, attested to throughout the NT including personal declarations, is the greatest evidence there is to His full divinity. One need not be distracted by theological debate over the trinity, a doctrine which entertains numerous versions and none of which can be proven...

    A serious questions for the Jehovah's Witnesses on these threads.

    Seeing we are on a memory trip, I shall remind you of the apostle John's words... KJV 1 John 1:1-3 1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 2 (For the life was...

    KJV John 3:16-17 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. In the text above...

    A serious questions for the Jehovah's Witnesses on these threads.

    I would ask your you a serious question. Please consider this carefully. In scripture we are told that God sent His only begotten Son into the world to save sinners. I am sure you cannot disagree with this, it is written in black and white and repeated by many authors. So. That being true, then...

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    You reveal how shallow and superficial is your understanding of scripture. You also reveal how superficial is your reading of others posts. I fully explained my position which shows no contradiction. You choose what you want to read, and discard what exposes your desire to obfuscate, confuse...
