    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    God disciplines his people and in the scriptures God tells his people bad association spoils useful habits. That means if you have close association with someone who cheats, steals, uses foul language, gets drunk every weekend, practices any form of sexual immorality then such things will...

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    We don't kick people out of meetings and our members don't have very close association with those who are not baptized member's, especially if they're those who practice some form of sexual immorality.

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    Disfellowshipping those in the congregation(church) of God is exercised to maintain the purity of the congregation doctrinal of and morally. You can't care about the person who is disfellowshipped only, you have love and care for all the members of the congregation. The exercise of this power is...

    How God Can Witness & Judge Anyone?

    Christ4Me said: John 1:18-No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. John 6:46- Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. Although Jesus testified above that no man had seen...

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    They are allowed to sit anywhere in the congregation. What it means when a person who is disfellowshipped and he/she comes to the meetings is that no baptized Christian will shake his/her hand or say a greeting to him/her they won't even speak to them. Also if a baptized Christian comes across a...

    How God Can Witness & Judge Anyone?

    I've already stated to you too many times to count that I don't believe Jesus Christ to be God but instead I believe him to be the Only Begotten Son of God. If you can't understand that clear statement from me that's your fault, but I have made myself very clear.

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    I wouldn't deprive anyone from coming to the meeting, we don't even deprive those who have been disfellowshipped from the congregation from coming to the meetings. I also don't decide how long a,person has to change his or her ways or clean up their act as you say.

    How God Can Witness & Judge Anyone?

    The Trinity Doctrine isn't in the scriptures. In the Bible I have seen no scripture or combination of scriptures that say there are three persons in a Godhead. In fact when it comes to the Greek term, to thei'on translated Godhead in some Bibles, to thei'on translated as Divine Being is a more...

    Right! You keep telling yourself that.

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    The True Christian Congregation of God don't consider people who are practicing homosexuality as baptized members of the congregation. In other words anyone who is practicing homosexuality isn't a baptized member of the congregation in the true congregation of God. So those who practice...

    How God Can Witness & Judge Anyone?

    As I said there's no evidence in the scriptures of a Trinity Doctrine, of three persons in a Godhead. Whenever someone starts talking of the Trinity Doctrine they leave scripture and are using theology and philosophy when speaking of the Trinity.

    How God Can Witness & Judge Anyone?

    There are various Trinitarian concepts but generally the the Trinitarian say the Trinity teaching is that in the Godhead there are three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; yet, together they are but one God. The doctrine says that the three are coequal, almighty, and uncreated, having existed...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    This story doesn't mean anything to me. I don't let you or anyone decide for me which Bible I'm going to use. You want to disagree with the choice of the Bible Jehovah's Witnesses as a group use to study with, so be it, that's your right, but I don't believe you though when you say such things...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    The phrase " God the Son" isn't in any of the manuscripts. By mistake it was put in a medieval manuscript, MS No.1985 where Galatians 2:20 has "Son of God" it was mistakenly changed to, "God the Son." John the Baptist didn't call Jesus, "God the Son" but instead called him the "Son of God."...

    How God Can Witness & Judge Anyone?

    Modern scholars do not hesitate to omit from their Bible translations the spurious passage found at First John 5:7, 8. After the words “For there are three witness bearers” this added passage reads, “in heaven, the Father, the Word and the holy spirit; and these three are one. (Omitted by the...

    People have been deceived into believe this lie of the Trinity for centuries and I don't expect the majority of the people will listen to the truth. That's their choice I don't try to force people to believe the truth, there's no good in that and I'm not going to argue with you. You like the...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    It's not me with the problem, it's you. You deny that Jesus became human by saying it was God who became human. Because by saying Jesus is God and it was God who became human you deny that it's the Only Begotten Son of God who is the Word and who became human. It is those that deny to exercise...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    Christ is the image of God, not God himself, and as you said the brightness or reflection of God's glory, not God's glory itself, there's a difference between being the brightness or reflection of Gods glory and actually being that glory. Christ and God are not the same person. The scriptures...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    Yes the greek word, "to thei'on" is translated as Godhead in certain Bibles such as the king James Version and others at scriptures like Acts 17:29, Romans 1:20, Colossians 2:9. At Acts 17:29 E.J. Good speeds translation, translates "to thei'on" as "the divine nature." The International...
