    Reader Poll - Would you be a Christian if there was no afterlife?

    Jane, let me ask, were you given the opportunity to decide? To choose for yourself? Running for the prize of the high calling? Or were you told it wasn't available? You see, the majority of Jehovah's Witnesses don't see the high calling simply because for almost 100 years, that door of...

    Reader Poll - Would you be a Christian if there was no afterlife?

    Did I say anything different? I believe I said "we agree on that." Agreed. And who exactly were these "many" you speak of? Seems to me the majority of professing Christians believed they were going to heaven; granted they may not have understood "the call", but they believed in going to heaven...

    Who are the “other sheep” of John 10:16? (For Jehovah's Witnesses)

    Are there unbaptized JW's

    Who are the “other sheep” of John 10:16? (For Jehovah's Witnesses)

    I'm well aware of what the Scriptures say about the earth, if you notice in my comment, I referenced that verse. BTW ... what's a "tungs"?

    Reader Poll - Would you be a Christian if there was no afterlife?

    Well, we agree on that. And we agree on that ... however you'd be hard pressed to prove to me from scripture that Jesus or His Apostles were preaching anything but the "upward call." Jane, there is only ONE call in the scriptures, that is to be part of the church, and until that number is...

    Who are the “other sheep” of John 10:16? (For Jehovah's Witnesses)

    I wasn't aware that heaven has an end. How do you explain Isa. 40:22; 44:24; Jer. 10:12; Zech. 12:1, which speaks of God stretching out the heavens? I guess the earth is square, since they have corners too (Isa. 41:9; Rev. 7:1, 20:8)

    Reader Poll - Would you be a Christian if there was no afterlife?

    I just wanted make sure we were on the same page as to the "work", I don't want to assume. Is that okay? I guess we weren't on the same page. You see, YOU see "works" as just preaching "going out and making disciples and baptizing them." The works spoken of here in the context of James is...

    Who are the “other sheep” of John 10:16? (For Jehovah's Witnesses)

    If by "baloney" you're speaking of the "other sheep" being an earthly class? Then yes, it was Judge Rutherford who introduced that teaching. In the 1920s, he kept introducing types and antitypes. He used names like "Modern Worthies", "Jonadabs" then in 1935, they introduced it all under the...

    Reader Poll - Would you be a Christian if there was no afterlife?

    And may I ask what is this "work" you speak of?

    Reader Poll - Would you be a Christian if there was no afterlife?

    What purpose would there be in Christianity if there were no afterlife? If God told me, "Whether you serve me or not, this life is all there is," would I still serve him? That's a difficult question to answer, because the world as we know it was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. Every...

    New Jerusalem

    I'd like to chime in if you don't mind. We see here in this verse our Lord assures the faithful that they will serve as a pillar in the true temple of the New Jerusalem. This term pillar signifies being a support, indicating that the faithful will uphold God’s Divine Plan for the coming age...

    Can AI be used for the Gospel?

    It can certainly be used by the adversary to deceive.

    What books are you currently reading?

    Okay, I'm familiar with this site and Anthony Buzzard. It's affiliated with Church of God General Conference. They are similar to the Church of the Blessed Hope and Christadelphians, who reject the pre-existence of Jesus. A view I don't accept.

    We Follow the King. You Follow a Corpse.

    Let's look at Revelation 3:9 "Behold, I will cause {those} of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie-- I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and {make them} know that I have loved you." This verse does not actually assert that these are literal Jews...

    We Follow the King. You Follow a Corpse.

    So you're taking these verses literally? If that's the case, verse 8 tells us that this was written to the church at Smyrna, and doesn't apply any longer. In this church, there is a warning about those who say they are Jews but are not. This warning is not about actual Jews, but rather about...
