I wanna know where the people are who admit they are wrong?

Who did Christ always point to? @ theJW I would say the Father. So, seeing you've been in your denomination for 50 yrs you'd have some clues about the Father? Please tell us about the Father.

Unfortunately even the bible writers had their misunderstandings of God. They wrote as best they could with the baggage they had (assumptions, prejudices and self righteousness.) However, we do have a direct window into God through Jesus but few tend to want to use it or are willing to know how...

Well there you have it! .....and I'm sure there's a bucket of justified reasons which arrive at this conclusion. I am sorry for my flawed brothers and sisters and I'm sorry for my own flaws. However it does not discourage me. I think all of humanity has inherited that rattling bucket of bones...

Are brownie points included for belonging to the 'right' club?

because your interpretation is faulty! You assume souls and spirits are entities and independent of the body.

then why a resurrection? where/ when 'this mortal shall put on immortality, 1 Corinthians 15:50-55 , 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18........if the righteous dead are already in heaven? 1 Corinthians 15:50-55 50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of...

Believers do not die the second death (permanent elimination) but they all 'sleeping the dust of the earth till the call is given to rise. (just like Lazarus the brother of Mary and Martha was 'awakened' out of his 'sleep' as Jesus called it) All believers and non believers are dead (asleep in...

Thank you for your honesty. Might I suggest this...... Jesus is the only one who has had direct contact with the Father. The Prophets were given visions and other forms of contact with the divine (dreams) etc and then left to describe those experiences in their own words. God did not hold their...

Patrick, the Old Testament Prophets need to be understood through the lens of Jesus (I understand this might not be understood very well) Without that insight, the Prophets will be misunderstood by most. So, one of the questions that needs asking is, how do we do that? ie, what is the criteria?

:).....that's a kind gesture Keraz but will we be subject to ripe figs dropping on our clean clothes?.....they are messy you know. :) or is the invite only for the off season when leaves are plentiful and shield us from the Mediterranean sun?.....other times we can shuffle and sit under the...

I'd say, more a misunderstanding of the meaning of Sodom

The death people experience here and now Jesus calls a sleep. The story of Lazarus the brother of Mary and Martha makes that clear. Check the story in John 11:1-15 The first death is the story of all who have died both good and bad. This first death is the death from which all will be...

Sharp eyes Patrick! .....understanding that both are true will depend on how you see......and how you see is contingent on the type of enquiry or lack of it. Matthew 6:22-23 22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light.23 But if your...

It's clear they haven't learned that tit and tat are bedfellows which are insatiable cannibals resulting unending trouble.

I had expected a retort of this nature Keraz.....so what else can I say?

Am I arguing?....wow, perceptions are really distorted!

Jesus says his stuff and then qualifies his words about eating his body and drinking his blood in John 6:63 because the disciples didn't get it 53Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you...

and if your paradigm is wrong....as I think it is (but that's secondary) ......however, if it is then you have shot yourself in the foot, meaning, it is not possible for you to see a paradigm which has integrity.

Blood represents life, not some mystical compound with magic powers. That idea is straight out of a pagan handbook!
