If Paul didn’t know if he was in his body or not then neither do you. If Jesus was only raised as a spirit that’s not much of a miracle. I don’t know of any other denominations that teach only 144.000 are going to Heaven. What do the Jehovah’s Witnesses believe about the 144,000 and a...

If I don’t take medicine I don’t sleep. Twice I have went two weeks without sleep and both times I wound up in the hospital. The Doctors told me going without sleep is much worse than any side effects of the medication. So I take the medication. I still don’t sleep great but I sleep better than...

Makes you wonder how much of those numbers is propaganda.

I don’t follow you. Most versions say the same thing. This just shows how much liberty The Message takes.

It was you who said the thief was told he would be in paradise not heaven. 2Co 12:2 - I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one was caught up to the third heaven. Tools 2Co 12:3 - And I know...

Nice dodge. Where is Paradise? And how does a spirit have wounds? Jhn 20:27 - Then saith heto Thomas, Reach hither thy finger and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless ,but believing. Tools Jhn 20:28 - And Thomas answered and said unto him...

1Pe 3:18 - For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God,being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 1Pe 3:19 - By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 1Pe 3:20 - Which sometime were disobedient, when...

I think it’s called a Gish Gallup

And you are free to do so, where I disagree is you would have everyone else do the same thing and you have Jesus lying to the thief on the cross to fit your beliefs. If you don’t meet on Sundays someone needs to tell Wikipedia and the Kingdom Hall that I visited. Maybe it was because the 14th of...

How did this go from to a discussion about the cross to you asking for a defense of Easter? If we don’t celebrate Jesus’ resurrection why do we worship on Sunday? I don’t remember JWs having services on Saturdays. Do they? Why is the Resurrection So Important? | Cornerstone University

If you prefer secular sources there is no consensus either. Instrument of Jesus' crucifixion - Wikipedia

Act 1:3 - To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. ——- Jesus sacrifice was his passion and we celebrate his triumph on the cross.

I think they do have some kind of resurrection service around Easter time.

Even though he considers his experience as a failure he may have reached people God wanted him to reach or made a difference in some way and it’s clear he learned from that experience. Noah preached for a long time and didn’t convert anyone.

Actually I am non denominational and all this discussion stems from my disagreement with one denomination that holds the view that all other denominations are wrong and members of those denominations will not be saved

That is a good point. Jesus told them that kind only came out with prayer and fasting.

Jhn 11:35 - Jesus wept. — If Jesus could cry then he felt the same things I do.

I was just pointing out another incident. A lot of things can seem like a contradiction in the scriptures on the surface. If you look at my posts you can see I don’t promote a particular denomination. There are those who believe salvation is exclusive to their denomination and as someone...

We all have our faults but I find it ironic @Aunty Jane complaining about the length and number of someone else’s posts
