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

    As I said, Christendom has been judging people for awhile now for not observing these holidays and celebrations and that shows Christendom thinks people should go by what they say not by what God's word says. This shows that Christendom has put these holidays and celebrations in equal status...

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

    This fact remains true, too many people have spoken out against Jehovah's witnesses and others for not observing holiays and celebrations that have nothing to do with God's word of truth. So many among christendom are judging Jehovah's witnesses and others for not believing or agreeing with what...

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

    The thing I keep asking myself is why would someone take a day or way of celebrating that is deeply rooted in false gods and incorporate it into God or his truth, when the scriptures show us that the True God has always been against taking what is related to false gods and combine it to God or...

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

    I think a christian should take into consideration God's divine principles that are in the scriptures, I think those divine principles should be more important than what men are saying. So when it comes to holidays that are rooted in the belief in or worship of other gods, Jesus stated: “It is...

    Easter question

    Since we are talking about holidays that many people say we should observe to remember Jesus I found only one day and way in scripture which Jesus said we are to remember him. Which many call the last supper. I think this day should be the most important day and way to remember Jesus, because...

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

    You saying, "I am simply saying celebrate to honor Jehovah or Jesus- they are fine," is going by what a imperfect human or what imperfect humans say is fine. What is the day and way the inspired scriptures tells us to remember Jesus? Isn't that day and way more important than what imperfect...

    Christianity boils down to believing in the end, there's no other way around it

    A true Christian exercises faith, and the scriptures don't teach blind faith. The faith that the scriptures teach us isn't just some belief, because true faith is backed by evidence.The scriptures teach that we know God exists because the scriptures give us evidence that he does exist, because...

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

    Ronald Nolette said, No you falsely applied a verse to what people are doing to honor Jesus![/Quote\] Where in the scriptures does it say we are to observe Christmas, or Easter, or St Valentine's Day, etc? God's inspired Word tells us how we are to remember Jesus, and it has nothing to do with...

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

    These holidays that people keep bringing up, you will find nowhere in the scriptures that we are to observe these holidays. They have nothing to do with the truth which is the inspired word of God. So anyone trying to tell any person, that they're wrong, even by implying it, that a...

    He doesn't lead us blindly

    Yes it does make sense. For example, I find nowhere in the scriptures that God inspired men to write down a trinity doctrine that I must believe, in order to be saved. Yet most trinitarians say if you don't believe the trinity you won't be saved. Yet, God didn't inspire men to write that down...

    He doesn't lead us blindly

    Yeah I have heard too many people say they have the Holy Spirit abiding in them. Too many go beyond what's written. They want people to blindly follow what they say.

    He doesn't lead us blindly

    Hebrews 1:1, 2 says, "Long ago God spoke to our forefathers by means of the prophets on many occasions and in many ways. Now at the end of these days he has spoken to us by means of a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the systems of things." Today God is...

    LOVE ONE ANOTHER

    I agree that Jesus Christ and his apostles and disciples during the first century taught love and expressed it among themselves. Jesus said at John 13:35 that those who had love among themselves and expressed that love were the ones who were his true disciples or followers. I really don't see...

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    Jehovah's Witnesses believe Jesus is, the Christ, the Son of the living God.(Matthew 16:13-17) That's what scripture says Peter believed, and Jesus said that it was Jesus Father who is God that influenced him to say that, and John 20:17 says that Jesus has a Father and God that is also Jesus...

    I’m Not Going To Hell; How About You? = John 14;6, John 14;10-14

    Everyone dies and goes to Hell today when they die. The problem with people today, is they think Hell is a place of fiery torment, when the truth is, when the scriptures were first translated from Greek to English, the english word Hell was used to replace the Greek word Hades, and Hades simply...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    Kermos said, In Philippians 2:5 Paul explains that the Philippians need to have the same attitude as Jesus. Then in Philippians 2:6, Paul goes on to explain about Jesus specifically, that even though Jesus is God, the greatest Being, Jesus still serves the brothers. Paul is telling the...

    Second Coming

    In the early part of his comments in Matthew 24:4-35 Jesus prophetically foretold many world conditions that would serve as warning that he would be about to take action, and he counseled awakeness as to this event, saying: “For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man...

    Jesus as God and Man

    This belief of Jesus being a God man or God in the flesh, I haven't found in the scriptures. What I have found in the scriptures is what Peter said, that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God. Which is what we are all to believe. It's also stated in God's word that what Peter stated...

    Will there be or is there a need for a future Messianic age?

    Acts 2:34-36 & Hebrews 10:12, 13 shows us that Jesus ruling as the Messianic King would not begin immediately. It's when the appointed times of the gentile nations or times of the Gentiles end, that Jesus will begin reigning as king amongst his enemies, and he will rule over earth in that...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    Verse 5 of Philippians chapter 2 is telling the Philippian congregation members to have the same attitude or same mindset that Jesus Christ had. So, Paul isn't telling the Philippian congregation members at verse 6 to think themselves equal to God. So many people today try to teach people...
