    What are the main doctrinal differences between Jehovah's Witnesses and mainstream Christianity?

    What do you mean by "mainstream Christianity"? Is that the false one where the blind are leading the blind off the cliff?

    Keep The Sabbath ???

    Keeping the sabbath is not applicable to Christianity. Regard it if you like but it's of no religious relevance.

    Hebrew 6 and Blasphemy

    Your very last short paragraph about not to fret because we all sin is confusing as relates to Hebrews 6, as the aforementioned isn't discussing simply sinning. The essence of Hebrews 6 is found in verses 4-6. Keep in mind this letter was written to newly converted (saved) Hebrews and relates to...

    can someone give me a biblical view of marriage . what is acceptable and how god sees it.

    Here's a repost of mine on this subject. Marriage: What is marriage and when do you really become married? Is it after some formal or elaborate ceremony or process, such as when a justice of the peace, ordained minister or “priest” of some church mumbles some words in front of you both while...

    Does John 5:24-29 contradict the belief that one must believe in Jesus to avoid eternal death?

    You can disagree all you like, but God does not contradict himself. And your answer to your original question is in the verses you cited. Verse 24 provides the answer. 24Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and...

    Does John 5:24-29 contradict the belief that one must believe in Jesus to avoid eternal death?

    That's a different issue. And yes, there are some errors relative to translations and where they may have been derived from, but the actual scriptures don't contradict one another.

    Does John 5:24-29 contradict the belief that one must believe in Jesus to avoid eternal death?

    Scripture doesn’t contradict or conflict with scripture. If it appears to do so, it's man's understanding or lack thereof, and not scripture.

    Is the story of Noah literal?

    If you're a believer, then you must accept it. Christ's lineage is traced back to Noah

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them part 4-understanding Acts 9:10-19

    Many times, people erroneously cite Acts 9, and specifically the words of Ananias to Saul in verse 17, as justification that Ananias, who was not an apostle, also possessed the ability to bring about the manifestation of the Holy Spirit/Ghost, the falling of or being filled with the...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    You've again said a bunch of nothing and didn't address the issue nor my response which questioned your logic and understanding or lack therof, of 1 Cor. And I'm certainly NOT catholic. I'm Christian.

    Did you not read what you requoted?

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    You conveniently forgot to list the translations that say 'in' that do agree with the Greek. And you're not understanding the 1 Cor passage you quoted or maybe you didn't read 1 Cor beyond that part. Read a bit further to 1 Cor 3:6. Paul planted and Apollos watered. Paul was the orator.

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Yes, I'm sure that IN TIME, they, all his disciples, were eventually baptized in his name but not until his death. Makes no sense and contrary to scripture to say or suggest otherwise. Edit: One other very important thing you're overlooking is, at that very early point in the scriptures, Jesus...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    They baptized in no ones name as did John; it was the baptism of repentance for the remission of sin. And anyone baptized prior to Jesus's death had to be re-baptized as the Ephesians. The scriptures tell you why. It's not just for the remission of sin, but also to receive the Holy Ghost and...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    You're both a bit lacking in understanding. Nobody was born again while Jesus was alive. Not possible. No one could be baptized into Christ nor his death to be raised like him as Romans 6 explains, until he was dead. The Ephesians had to be re-baptized since they were baptized unto John's...

    Where did the holiday Christmas come from?

    There are no religious holidays in the NT nor days to be revered other than the first day of the week, the Lord's Day, wherein the disciples gathered together as the church, to break bread in remembrance of the Lord. The days today that are commonly recognized as religious holidays have been...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    You've said a lot to say not much at all that addresses the plain and simple difference in the Greek interlinear and the kjv which I use and like but am also aware of it's minor flaws, i.e., using the word Easter instead of passover, pascha in Greek, in Acts 12:4. You can't use the kjv to...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    That makes no sense because all the NT is Greek and translated therefrom. Check our other translations such as the ESV for example which got it right. The ESV is in English by the way if you're hung up on that for who knows why.
