Thank you. If a person is not truly hearing from God (they are "deluded") and they twist scripture and are a sheep (or shepherd) in wolves clothing is there no scriptural guidance on what to do with those persons? Yes, it is our business to know the answer. Shouldn't we know or be able to...

It does seem that way. I believe God has given all humans the natural ability to differentiate between good and bad.

Hi Amadeus, What you have stated kind of makes sense but leads me to more questions. What I can't figure out is how does one know when they have become one of His sheep? You might be legitimately concerned for me that I am twisting scripture and following a wolf in sheep clothing since I...

But you demand answers from others?? o_O I can see that you don't want to have a serious conversation so I will simply give you my thoughts. You seem to believe that we do not have free will. Which means we can't control the thoughts that go into our own brain OR control what we say OR control...

I am not asking you to speak for me. I am asking YOU who YOU think makes us do the things we do Curious Mary

If we don't have free will then why do we do the things we do OR who makes us do them??? Curious Mary

Yes, it will count AFTER you repent and ask for forgiveness....like Paul did. ;)

The title of this thread is: Who started that lie? Do you, TLIG, believe in free will?? Curious Mary

Maybe because they could both be true and you are asking which ONE is a lie? That question suggest that you think one of them is a lie. Sooooo.....which one do you choose? Mary

Scripture. Which do you choose? Was no one saved BEFORE the birth of Christ? Curious Mary

Hmmmm......So we are to decide which one is a lie and our choices are Scripture or the statement that you created in your own mind?? Was no one saved BEFORE the birth of Christ? Curious Mary

Hi Dave, Calvin would disagree with you: The Five Points of Calvinism, TULIP It is part of his well known TULIP teaching. Mary

Thank you. You do know that the "study" you referenced included a small group of Australians in a local area who were JW's? Does that seem fair to you? Wouldn't the study be more believable/accurate if they did a world wide study of JW's (a larger sample) to call it "fair"??? Mary

Thanks bbyrd!! I read a study that said schizophrenia for JW's could be caused by the social elements of isolation, adversity, discrimination and poor housing/living conditions and that JW's recruit people who are already mentally unstable that's why I asked those two questions. Fasting is...

Hi Frank, Are you suggesting the men who defined the teachings (doctrines/dogmas) of their respective denominational churches (Baptist, Lutheran, Pentecostal etc.) are in grave error? What is a "grave error" and what happens to the soul of a person when they are in such a state when...

Thank you for your honesty. Mary

Thank you. I agree with you that abortion is ONE of the chief stones in their platform. The others being free health care for all and welfare. Based on your response I think it is fair to say that your blanket statement in your OP, "There is no way you can be a Democrat and a born again...

Fascinating. I have never read that study before. You have taught me something...:) I wonder if the alleged increase in schizophrenia for JW could be caused by the social elements of isolation, adversity, discrimination and poor housing/living conditions? Or if they just recruit people who are...
