    Must a Christian Work to Keep Themself Sinless in Order to Keep Their Salvation?

    When I said that about the JW I wasn't including the anointed of God, The ones God elected to be Kings and priests with Jesus in that heavenly messianic kingdom. God wouldn't choose nominal Christians to be kings and priests with Jesus in that heavenly messianic kingdom. Those who are among the...

    All this response means to me is that you don't believe the scriptures that tell us that Jesus Christ is the foundation and head of the true Church. That's your choice, but I don't put imperfect men before God, his Only Begotten Son or the inspired word of God that has been written down for our...

    Must a Christian Work to Keep Themself Sinless in Order to Keep Their Salvation?

    There is that possibility there are nominal JW in the organization, I'm not going to say I know for a fact there not because I don't know nor have I met all JW. Also I don't believe I can read minds and hearts. The fact that there is or is not nominal christians among the JW isn't the point...

    I am within scripture and following the teaching of Christ and his Apostles whether you believe that or not. Those who believe in counsels of men which state that doctrines such as the Trinity, hellfire and immortality of the Soul are scriptural are the ones who are the weeds and are in error...

    Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses Reject Blood Transfusions?

    What people choose to believe is their choice. It was God who told his servants that it was forbidden for humans to eat the blood of animals. It was God who said why it was forbidden, that reason being that the life of the animal is in it's blood and that life has been put on the altar. So life...

    The True God YHWH brought intelligent life into existence long before Genesis 2:7. The person that the Only True God YHWH, brought into existence first, is his Only-Begotten Son, then through him Then Only True God YHWH brought all other things and all other life such as Angels, plant life...

    Must a Christian Work to Keep Themself Sinless in Order to Keep Their Salvation?

    I have agreed that Jesus unites his people. I just don't see that unity in all the many different denomanations in Christendom where there are so many divisions among Protestants and Catholics. Just one aspect of the history of the Catholic Church and the Protestant churches is when seeing the...

    You really don't read my posts. One of the things I said in post # 33 is that the Father and God of the Only Begotten Son of God first brought into existence his Only Begotten Son then through his Only Begotten Son brought everything and everyone into existence through his Only-Begotten Son.

    Must a Christian Work to Keep Themself Sinless in Order to Keep Their Salvation?

    Those who truly are in Jesus and Jesus in them, who are the body of Christ, have love among themselves. Having love among themselves is how you know a person/person's are truly in Jesus and Jesus in them, who are truly the body of Christ. Jesus Christ said at John 13:35- By this all will know...

    Why was Adam easily manipulated if man is made in God's image?

    The tree of the knowledge of good and bad symbolized the divine right or prerogative, which man’s Creator retains, to designate to his creatures what is “good” and what is “bad,” thereafter properly requiring the practice of that which is declared good and the abstention from that which is...

    The Apostle John in his gospel tells us about Jesus in his prehuman existence, then known as “the Word,” and rightly called “a god,” that all things came into existence through him.” John 1:1,3,14,18. Then, after telling how “the Word became flesh,” he says: “No man has seen God at any time; the...

    Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses Reject Blood Transfusions?

    We were, or at least I was, showing that Acts 15:28,29 was teaching us that we are to abstain from blood with equal commitment as we would abstain from fornication. The word fornication there translates the greek word porniea the definition of this Greek word is that it includes all forms of...

    The Apostles and disciples of Jesus Christ were subjects of the Only True God YHWH just as Jesus was. Jesus was a subject of the True God YHWH. The True God YHWH is throughout the scriptures starting at Genesis 2:4. YHWH is used thousands of times in the scriptures more times than such words as...

    Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses Reject Blood Transfusions?

    If you think a married person who is a Christian who is having an affair to be just a personal opinion and the scriptures don't speak of it as a gross sin then you go right ahead and think that it's just a personal opinion. That will tell me all I really need to know about how you view God's...

    I understand what you believe I simply disagree. Genesis 3:15 isn't talking about Eve or Mary. The woman is Jehovah’s heavenly organization, the mother of his spirit-anointed servants on earth.

    The woman John here sees at Revelation 12 is married to someone, and she is about to give birth. later the scriptures show that this child of this woman is “caught away to God and to his throne," at Revelation 12:5. The True God Jehovah is the one who claims the child as his own. So the woman...

    The woman in Revelation 12 isn't the OT church as Backlit says, the woman of Revelation 12 is Jehovah’s universal organization of spirit creatures that acts as his wife, both in serving him and in producing offspring.

    Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses Reject Blood Transfusions?

    I understand that people will find some excuse that abstaining from all forms of sexual immorality isn't a big deal. So I find it not surprising that they wouldn't abstain from blood either. The things that are strangled that we are to abstain from had to do with meat not bleed when killed. In...

    Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses Reject Blood Transfusions?

    That's the reason the Bible uses the word abstain at Acts 15:28,29 the word abstain means to restrain oneself from doing something. That means that just as you would restrain yourself to have nothing to do with any and all forms of sexual immorality, you would equally restrain yourself from...

    Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses Reject Blood Transfusions?

    If you honestly think or believe that Satan hasn't ever challenged Jehovah, you're wrong. Satan challenged Jehovah in the Garden of Eden. Satan challenged Jehovah God's rulership, by teaching or spreading lies that God didn't rule in a way that was in the best interests of mankind or humanity...
