    would you be happy if i dropped the whole jw religon and convert to any other denom. ?

    Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13. Is this name Jehovah or Jesus? Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand...

    Jesus saith unto him, I am the way and the truth and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6). re #20.

    I think you might be a brother even if you do have a problem with your interpretation of Matthew 7:13-14.

    You want to label me as "part-modalist" and "part tri-Unity" believer. What I would say to you is that I have looked at both views and have come to a conclusion that gives me a better understanding so that I know what the Trinity really is and understand it as a doctrine in most if not all of...

    Poll Bible

    I believe that every new believer should start with the gospel of John, and then go to Romans, and then Galatians, and then Matthew; as these books are foundational to the faith.

    Poll Bible

    No. Every Christian does not fast. It is something that will help you focus on the word because the time that you don't spend eating food or doing other things that are worldy, you will be spending reading your Bible. Jesus said that if the Bridegroom is with you, you don't need to fast. But...

    Just ask ask Him to give it to you as a gift like you are a little child and He is your Daddy. Something like, "Abba Father, would you please give me the gift of the Holy Ghost and within that gift the spiritual gift of discernment?" Or, "Heavenly Father, I just want to ask You for the gift...

    So @APAK, concerning some of your statements, my question is, Do you deny that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh? No, my view is not completely modalist (as I have said that my view is somewhere in between the Trinitarian view that is taught by Calvary Chapel, and the modalist view taught by...

    I quit i can't do anything right

    If you're looking for it in your school and can't find it then it might not be at your school. So you would have to go to a different place to find fellowship. Do your parents force you to stay in on Sundays and/or Wednesday/Thursday Nights? Do they monitor your every step? If they don't...

    But not for the count. Public schools sometimes have Christian Clubs where people of like mind meet together (at least this was true when I was in High School 1989-1991). You should check into whether there is anything like that where you are going.

    I quit i can't do anything right

    It's alright to keep your newfound faith a secret from your family until you feel you have the strength to stand up for it. For now, all I think that the Lord requires of you is that you consider what people are saying about the faith of Christianity. And if you believe, that is something that...

    I quit i can't do anything right

    That bitterness is a stronghold of the enemy in your life. But it can be demolished by the weapons of warfare that God has given to the saints (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). I would start by identifying who it is in your life that you have bitterness towards (ask the Lord if, in your conscious mind...

    I quit i can't do anything right

    It can happen for you, Michael. Not in the natural; but in the supernatural. The fact that you do not feel joy right now in no way means that God cannot pour His joy into your heart. If you seek Him with all of your heart, you will find Him (Matthew 7:7-8, Luke 11:9-13, Jeremiah 29:13). He...

    I want to be in my shoes. I have absolute assurance of my salvation in the Lord. And I also know that I am not accusing the Holy Spirit of having a natural mind. Strangely enough, we might be back to the topic of what this thread is supposed to be about.

    You are here accusing Christians of not using biblical definitions. Thereby you are equating Christianity with cultism. For it is the cults that use definitions that are not biblical, redefining words in order to fit their doctrine.

    I certainly don't think that your pov is foolishness. I think that it is what anyone might think is the right way if they didn't have the Holy Spirit to show them the truth (see also Proverbs 14:12, Proverbs 16:25).

    The Problem With The Trinity

    The Logos was God; and God was the Logos. Is God not a Person? A sure foundation...Isaiah 28:16.

    I quit i can't do anything right

    If you have doubts about your salvation, Michael, my exhortation to you is 2 Peter 1:5-11 and Philippians 2:12-13. Now notice that in the latter passage it doesn't say work for your salvation with fear and trembling. It says work it out. So then, Philippians 2:12 is reiterated quite nicely in...

    The Problem With The Trinity

    You didn't quote the whole of his statements. In them He is not proclaiming polytheism, but the concept of plurality in unity (as in one cluster of grapes).
