I think he is an excellent Bible teacher. As a person who has a Pentecostal theology I was first put off by his anti-Charismatic teaching, and thought he was a false teacher for many years. But I started to view his messages on Youtube, and found his Bible teaching very sound and...

The trouble is that although the gates of hell has not prevailed over the true church, ie: the multitude of born-gain believers alive, and in Paradise, the gates of hell has prevailed over the RCC in that it is totally corrupted by paganism and false doctrine. Paul did say that grievous wolves...

You made it relevant when you linked the JW New World Translation with all the other modern translations, the bulk of which involved Hebrew and Greek scholars in the translation teams where the New World translaters didn't. Anyhow, the Catholic church depended on Jerome's Latin Vulgate, which...

The original Hebrew and Greek documents written by the authors inspired of God were totally infallible. But we don't have them any more. All we have are manuscripts dating from the 4th Century which are actually copies of copies. But the miracle is that the essential message of the gospel has...

Not sure about that, but certain verses were changed to suit JW doctrine.

Joseph Smith had the same attitude of disillusionment but he formed his own church instead and dreamed up a set of doctrines to support it. Roughly the same as the development of the extra-Biblical doctrines of the Roman Catholic church. The only difference between you and him is that he went...

You're scraping the bottom of the barrel there. Every good Bible commentator knows that the team who compiled the JW New World Translation did not have one Hebrew or Greek scholar among them. Nothing new here. Looks like a desperate random shot in the hope it hits something.

Oh? And how do you know that? Just by visiting a couple of churches? Or is that what your priest is teaching you?

In other words, you have no real answers to the questions and issues put to you. Why not just admit it?

This idea of "you have your interpretation of the Bible and I have mine" is an old chestnut that people have used to avoid compliance with the direct instructions that are contained in the Bible that are required of us. This means that a person can be a fornicator, adulterer, hater of people...

Temptation is not a sin. But succumbing to it and following it with commensurate action is.

Aren't there four persons in the Catholic trinity? The Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and Mary! (Just joking!).

The term "Eucharist" was coined to describe the paganistic sacrifice ritual that replaced that of the type of sacrifice that was performed in the pagan temples. The word doesn't appear anywhere in the New Testament. Paul called it the Lord's Supper, as a memorial of the finished work of Christ...

You don't do yourself any favours by discrediting your opponents and calling them liars without proving by substantive evidence that they are, in effect lying. Read the New Testament and compare Roman Catholic doctrine and practice with it. If it ain't in the New Testament then it is decidedly...

Eusebius misinterpreted the Scripture reference that clearly states that Jesus Christ, being the chief corner stone, is the Rock on which the church is built. Jesus said to Peter that he was just a little stone, but by comparison, the great Rock is the revelation that came to Peter from the...

Very informative!

It would be a temptation from Satan before any action was taken, and an act of the flesh involving covetedness once the person actually took it.

Something to add: "Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight). 8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord" 2 Corinthians...

Absolutely true! God can and does surprise us when we least expect it. I think that the Lord sometimes causes a bit of thunder and lightning by way of warnings to keep us on the straight and narrow. His first warning was to Adam and Eve, and He didn't mince His words: If you eat of the fruit...

I think that any personal "you" statements directed at us that make us feel defensive, is on the level of "flaming" and "goading", and a type of abuse, even it is never so mild. We have the right to express our opinions and be proved wrong if need be by Scripture or just plain common logic...
