They quite obviously have some beliefs which don't match the bible (some examples below). But I don't think this is an easy question when it comes to each and every individual JW. JWs do believe in Jehovah, and that Jesus is the son of God and that he died for our sins, and they believe in the...

v 1b. Few are such? Well maybe they don't quite "hate" but there has been a heck of a lot of anti-Muslim opinions of many christians and nonchristians in the last decades. Alot of people seem to see Islam as among the worst problems of recent decades while they don't see other evils like our own...

I'm not a Muslim as I don't think that Muhammed compares to Jesus/Yeshua, or the Koran compares to the Bible, etc. But I'm not a Muslim hater like some are, and there are some things I like. I think its good to find common good things. I like these quotes: "No one of you is a believer until...

I would tend to agree from the evidence that the covid vaccine is something to be wary of. But there are also many other past & present sinister things including fluoridation not just this one thing. People haven't even been able to admit or see that water fluoridation is also a "Satanic...

No one is denying that there have been successors (though not in the apostolic succession sense) and that true christian church(es) apostles/bishops/elders/pastors have authority of sorts. The issue is rather who is true christian & true church & true apostle/bishop/elder/pastor/successor.

If you mean authority of (the) apostles as it seems you do, I am not sure without doing a major study of the New Testament, but I would say that the bible does not give us much help on this subject as it doesn't say what will happen between the time of the apostles who saw Jesus and modern...

No one disputes the authority of Jesus and the apostles and of true pastors/elders/bishops. But there is a question of whether catholic & orthodox bishops are true/genuine christians, and some of their fruits/works/words are not biblical. The Romans infiltrated and hijacked the leadership as...

For the year I can only narrow Jesus down to between 12 bc and 34 ad at the most from the following data. Augustus Caesar: 44/43/42-31/30/28/27/19 bc - 14 ad. Cyrenius/Quirinus: 14 bc (Cyrene), 12 bc (consul), 12/11-2/1 bc or 10-7 bc or 5-3 bc or 4-1 bc, 6/7-11/12 ad. Census: 69 bc (RGA)...

Genesis: "Seed of the Woman". Chronicles 17:11 "It shall happen, when your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your seed after you, who shall be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom." Gospels: Parable of the sower. "He who sows the good...

It is not certain which James and which Mary is refered to in the verses which say "Mary the mother of James ((the less) and (of) Joses)" in 27:56 & 16:1 & 24:10. As to whether Mary had other children or not the bible says: "But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to her...

Just to finish the 7 churches we post this last one on the 5th church of Sardis. This is the one church (age) of the 7 which we are most unsure about. Its not so much the age/period but what city is the centre that is uncertain. Not sure if anyone has found anything of any interest/use? If...

The 6th church of Philadelphia. The 6th church Philadelphia seems to match the church of the puritans and pilgrim fathers (and pioneers/colonials? and messianics?) with its centre maybe at Philadelphia in the USA, as seen by that the details of Philadelphia are similar to those of the American...

The 2nd church of Smyrna. Smyrna the 2nd of the 7 churches seems to symbolize the persecuted church, with its centre maybe at Alexandria (Egypt) or else Antioch (Syria)? Details of Smyrna in Apocalypse/Revelation(s) : - name Smyrna (means "myrrh", or "goddess Myrrha" or "myrtle"). - 2nd church...

The 4th church of Thyatira. Thyatira seemingly might match the medieval church with centre at Byzantium/Constantinople/Istanbul, as seen by that the details of Thyatira are maybe analogous to details of Byzantium. Details of Thyatira/letter in Revelation/Apocalypse: - name Thyatira (means...

The 3rd church of Pergamum/Pergamos. Pergamum seems to be a type of the church centred at Rome, since its details seem analogously similar to Rome? In time this would be from either Constantine 321 or Theodosius or Honorius (Telemachus) or Leo I 440-461 or "papacy set up 538 ad" or 554 ad or...

From the details in the gospel the disciple that Jesus loved was a disciple and seemingly one of the 12 disciples or apostles. Those at the last supper were the 12, the disciple Jesus loved was close by his side, so surely he was one of the 12. So the disciple that Jesus loved must have been one...

No its not all based on traditional assumptions, and even if it were the fact that the gospel has always only been associated with John and never with Lazarus is a valid evidence in favour. The book does say who wrote it, it says the disciple who the lord loved, and the book mentions this...

The evidences for John include: - It says it was written by the disciple the lord loved [John]. [John] the disciple the lord loved leaned on Jesus at the last supper to ask about who would betray him. Lazarus might have been a disciple but he was not an apostle (at the last supper), maybe not...

You might be right that they are different beasts, though it is maybe not necessarily definitely certain. Dragon (Rev 12) has 7 heads/crowns & 10 horns Abaddon/Apollyon (Rev 9) rises from the bottomless-pit/abyss Beast (Rev 11:7) comes from abyss 1st/Sea beast (Rev 13) has 7 heads/names & 10...

The 7th church of Laodicea(ans). Laodicea seems to be a type of the modern Victorian church centred at London, as seen by that the details of Laodicea are startlingly/amazingly similar to details of Victorian London and Britain and the British Empire? Details of Laodicea in...
