A lie. It is Eastern philosophy, long identified as God forsaken.

Gosh @Michiah-Imla, I envy you. Since I've been saved by the Holy Spirit, more aware, convicted and repentant am I of my ongoing struggle with sin. For instance, pride remains a constant nemesis. It's truly wonderful that you don't have that problem. Please pray for me, merely a 2nd class...

Yes. Solid 3-star movie. Unique thing is when it was over, a women announced her name, praised Jesus for his revolution and asked if she could pray. Many cheered. I said, let’s do it. She prayed. Many clapped and cheered. Another woman hugged my wife and I walking out of the theater...

I've noticed this pattern by others as well. It is as if they come to a forum NOT to engage in conversation. The OP asserts a premise or poses a question (stated explicitly or implicitly). Initial replies to articulate one's thought's relative to the OP's premise. Examples include: Yes, I...

It is a great question. The only reason we are told to take our thoughts captive in obedience to Christ is BECAUSE we have the sovereign liberty to NOT do so. Similarly, we can choose to be filled in REACTION to the circumstances of our life. Enter the Shabbat. Enter communion. Enter constant...

True. I don't lose any sleep over it. I tend to not look at people as part of a collective but as an individual. The foundation of your concern is IDOLATRY. Too many have made their doctrines into an IDOL. Until you realize this, you won't give up the fight we were never supposed to have to...

Really? You consider that to be a command to love parchment? Bless your heart!

Agreed. How did you determine these dates so precisely when not even Jesus said he knew the date?

Why the hostility? Why? Good question. You could not answer the return volley Except to take a foolish position. See how that works? How does that shoe fit?

Paragraphs are your friend. Just sayin.

And that is where you fail. We are not supposed to love parchment but people, besides our Creator.

ouch. not caring is not loving. do you praise god with that heart?

Except for when it is not. Do you ever start threads on a topic that is not OSAS?

I must object. The problem is the first part, I am not bothered by who disagrees with me. Not true in practice in many cases. In fact, many take the Great Commission to mean get heathens to agree with them. My pastor gave a sermon last year introducing the notion of an adversarial witness. If...

I don't think anyone has claimed conspiracy. It's more like being outside the Matrix and recognizing the effect of indoctrination. Are you a Star Trek TNG fan? There was an episode were Captain Picard was being tortured by an alien species. The interrogator wanted him to say there were 5 lights...

How do you reconcile these verses with your brand of OSAS? And you are included among those Gentiles who have been called to belong to Jesus Christ ... Rom 1:6 But because you are stubborn and refuse to turn from your sin, you are storing up terrible punishment for yourself. For a day of anger...

The definite article "the" implies JW do not agree with all translators or all translations. That's not accurate either. There are certain verses in particular that some - even many - translations get wrong. I started a rare thread about the original Greek Houtas, which means that - not he. As...

I don't think that is fair. Translators can get it wrong. That doesn't mean any of us lack respect for the Bible.

My heartfelt prayers to you and yours @Pearl

I’m so sorry for your condition. I’ll pray and hope you act on the wisdom @Behold shared.
