    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    Where does the authority originate for Sunday sacredness as a Christian tradition?

    Protestantism never fully came out from under papal authority. Protestant churches still obey Catholic traditions that supercede biblical "thus sayeth the Lord". After 25 years, ‘Evangelicals and Catholics Together’ still matters...

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    Yes. Only begotten of God.

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    It makes Him equal in all things except rank. No need to cloud the truth of that statement. And for a time, as Philippians 2 says, Jesus set aside all His divine attributes in order to become subject to death, taking upon Himself man's fallen nature.

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    The word monogenes translated as begotten, is used in relation to parent child relationships. Sorry I didn't make that clear. Hope I'm correct in that though.

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    Please do not assume I am defending the creedal version of the trinity. I am defending the true Sonship of Jesus, a Sonship that by the counsel and power and word of the Father, made Jesus equal to the Father in all things except rank. That rank, the submission of the Son to the Father, is by...

    Col 1:15____He is the First-born of every creature This verse doesn't use the word arche, but prototokos, which literally means the first born child. Prototokos, is only translated firstborn or firstbegotten and occurs only sixother times in the NT. Heb 1:6 When God brought the firstbegotten...

    Yes. And the reason for the building of the Tabernacle was so God could "tabernacle" with His people. "Let them make Me Sanctuary, that I may dwell with them". That sanctuary is now you. And the church at large, if indeed Christ is in you, the hope of glory. KJV Romans 8:9-10 9 But ye are not in...

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    Probably both, certainly a revelation of the love of God. The transaction was the exchange for a divine Spirit nature for human.

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    I agree about His position. The Son inherits all things from His Father. Authority, creative power, everlasting life, His Father's name, children, priesthood and judgment. Looking unto Jesus we see that it is the glory of our God to give. 'I do nothing of Myself,' said Christ; 'the living...

    Why would anyone disagree with this? They believe they have to rebuild the temple. I have no doubts about that. Whether they will or not however is irrelevant to scripture, and irrelevant to God. God has his temple, His temple is us. He also has a temple in heaven wherein Christ serves the...

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    Oh, you reason most assuredly, and that is the problem. Your human reasoning blinds you to the truth. You see the word worship, and declare that when it applies to the Father, it is true worship, but when it applies to the Son, it is some lesser form of obeisance. That is arbitrary decision...

    Your views might be taken more seriously when you stop laughing at others. Noah's ark was in the midst of the greatest perfect storm in Earth's history. So drastic, it reshaped continents, , and turned the planet on its axis. How safe do you think Noah felt? Do you think his faith was tested...

    Indeed, although I would disagree with "years". KJV Psalms 91:1-11 1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from...

    What makes something holy? The temple was holy because of the presence of God. When the glory left, the building became desolate. Jesus left the temple for the last time a few days before His death, declaring to the Jews, your house (no longer God's) is left into you desolate. The church, the...
