    Speaking in Tongues a Cessationist View

    I'm saying that God Holy Spirit gifted a Christian with a miraculous gift sometimes more than one. When it comes to speaking in tongues the Christian was able to speak a foreign language that he had not acquired learning it at any school or from anywhere else. It even possible this Christian...

    No I don't think so.

    Speaking in Tongues a Cessationist View

    If the person speaking in a tongue was unable to translate, then he did not understand what he himself was saying nor would others who were not familiar with that tongue, or language. Hence, Paul encouraged those having the gift of tongues to pray that they might also translate and thereby edify...

    Speaking in Tongues a Cessationist View

    You believe what you want. I don't believe in tongues today. They were done away with when the scriptures we're completed. I disagree with your interpretation of the scriptures concerning tongues. The scriptures are very specific, written down in black and white. The gift of tongues was one of...

    Revelation 8:1-5 silence, half hour, earthquake ??

    I believe the symbolic silence in heaven is to allow the prayers of the holy ones on earth to be heard. l believe it lasted about 9 months. Regarding verses 3&5, back in 1513 B.C.E., at Mount Sinai, thunders and lightnings, a loud noise, fire, and a quaking of the mountain signaled Jehovah’s...

    I witnessed someone speaking in tongues today

    You said that this experience took place in church and you're asking if this is a genuine experience as from God. Isn't the scriptures the only way to answer that question truthfully on whether it's genuinely from God the way it should take place the way God says it should take place. First of...

    Christ vs the anti-Christ: Who is winning?

    Jesus Christ gave the rule for doing this. He explained that the true servants of God could be distinguished from the false ones by what they produce. He said: “By their fruits you will recognize them.” (Matt. 7:16) Therefore, it is possible to identify the true religion by the fruitage produced...

    Christ vs the anti-Christ: Who is winning?

    All of us are individuals so we must decide for ourselves. So ask youself questions. Since we all know the word Christian means," Christ like" what person or persons are truly Christ like. Since love is at the core of being a Christian ask yourself would a Baptist kill another Baptist just...

    Eve in the Garden

    Although there are some things you have said here that I agree with, I disagree with you saying that Adam would have possibly fallen anyway because of his inexperience or his lack of knowledge of good and evil. You speak as though that God doesn't know what he created. I don't believe God...

    Eve in the Garden

    No I disagree with you trying to take Romans 5:14 and say this scripture is referring to children Adam had before he sinned. I believe Romans 5:14 is talking of Adams offspring who lived from adam to Moses who unlike Adam had no command or set of commands to obey or disobey. So Adam offspring...

    Christ vs the anti-Christ: Who is winning?

    I believe the scriptures are the criteria. I also think you like everyone else can understand the scriptures if you choose to truly listen to them objectively. The problem with most of us is we choose not to listen to the scriptures objectively. If we only see things as a number thing then we...

    Eve in the Garden

    I said that it's also possible that that Cain's wife could have been a granddaughter of Adam and Eve. I still don't agree with you when you say Genesis 4: 14,15,25 is supported scripture that Adam and Eve had children before they sinned. Whenever discussing anything concerning the scriptures...

    Eve in the Garden

    I certainly agree that Eve is the mother of all living, just as the scriptures say, but that doesn't mean she had children before she sinned. The scriptures say at Genesis 5:4 that during Adams 930 years of life he became father to sons and daughters. These children after reaching what18 years...

    Christ vs the anti-Christ: Who is winning?

    Of course God who is working through his Son Jesus Christ is winning, there should never be any doubt about that. One thing that should be remembered however is that The True God Jehovah's is searching for those who truly love him and have faith in him because of that love they have for him. I...

    Eve in the Garden

    I Know you and many others think that there are mistake after mistake in the NWT. You aren't saying anything I haven't heard before.

    Eve in the Garden

    You may believe there are too many mistakes in the NWT but I believe the NWT is more accurately translated to the original language words, plus the NWT puts Gods personal name where it originally was. Most Bibles use words such as LORD and GOD where Gods personal name originally was and that...

    Eve in the Garden

    Yes I am a Jehovah Witness. I see nothing wrong with that. Maybe you and others do but I don't worry what others think. Everyone on this world is an imperfect person no better or worst than another imperfect person. I know they have their beliefs, I may not agree with them but I try my best to...

    Eve in the Garden

    You say you're not a trinitarian yet you don't understand revelation 1:1, interesting.

    Eve in the Garden

    I don't believe in any kind of trinitarian concept in any sense. There is The only True God Jehovah and he has an Only-begotten Son who are two distinct persons. I believe the Holy Spirit simply to be Jehovah God active force. I don't believe the Holy Spirit to be a person at all.
