Hi Scott, one might wonder the significance of the whys and wherefores of the sacrifice. It has to do with God's perfect law, soul for soul to be exact. When perfection is lost, perfection has to be sacrificed to buy back what was lost. Perhaps one day we will understand why it is necessary.

Yes sir, and that is what we teach as Jehovah's witnesses. History shows that since the days of Moses, mans max life span is around the 120 yr mark. Interestingly people think we are living longer now, but Moses penned Ps 90:10 about 3500 yrs ago, and said a mans avg life span is 70 to 80 and...

Thanks Pyth for that information, I was under the impression that he was considered a prophet by them, but was ignorant that Allah has no son. Being a Christian, I have not explored other major faiths as an interested one, as I truly believe I have found God's people.

Under the Law covenant maam, God did send prophets, sometimes even angels to guide His people. But under the law of the Christ, Christians were fed through the disciples being sent forth, and at the congregation meetings where 2 or 3 or more gathered in Jesus' name under holy spirit. Since the...

I do Amad, although all three were anointed as King, Jesus is the only one that was anointed by holy spirit.

I am glad we agree on that Wrangler.

How many faiths does that narrow it down to Ferris?

I always found it interesting that Jesus had limited use of God's holy spirit until his return to heaven Matt. For a long time I didn't even know that Acts 2:33. We also see one of the few times man actually got to hear God's own personal voice at Jesus' baptism when His spirit descended upon...

I hope we are wrong about him Wrangler

Exactly correct Matthew.

Hi Mary, it is true there are about 10 major religions in the world, but I was basically referring to the divisions of the "Christian" faith. Since this is a "Christian" forum, most people exploring this site will consider themselves Christian maam. But for a Christian to be an actual Christian...

Yes sir, I am one of Jehovah's witnesses, and of course everything we teach is Bible based. Is there anything that you would like to know about us in particular Matt?

How is God with us sir, physically? Or since the Bible reveals that no man can see God and live, was He with us by way of providing the means for life? John 3:16 The English language is a strange language Bob, as there are so many meanings and usages of words.

Yes sir, that is a fact. So out of all the faiths in the world, how many does that narrow it down to as being the "one faith"?

Very good Amad! That is not the passage I had in mind for Matt, but it certainly does apply. Do you know the difference between the words Messiah and Christ sir?

Yes sir that is true, so how many faiths do you know accept that as fact?

That encompasses the whole Bible sir. I like to start with John 17:3, which I believe is the very first step of getting on the road to life. One first hears about God, and from that point begins taking in knowledge, growing in knowledge of God and His son Jesus. When one first meets someone...

No sir, any faith that would not acknowledge the teachings of Jesus would not be the "one faith" referred to in the Bible. Mat 22:37

Jesus is the path to God Pyth Jn 14:6, therefore having a prominent role in the faith. He was in fact made flesh, and as you very correctly stated would be a part of the one faith. How many faiths include Jesus as part of their doctrine?

Obviously the key word is yoke, correct? That is saying a lot sir. Christians take on that yoke, by accepting and practicing the teachings of Jesus. I have had a few students, and one in particular who would answer every time when I asked the question what do you think is required for...
