"To introduce us to God" following his instructions, not changing them to our liking and convenience.

Even if I know there is hatred in the world, I still don't get your point. Can be more specific about one of those "doctrines"? True Christians certainly only preach and practice love. Jehovah's Witnesses have been hated and mistreated in many ways by many people who call themselves...

Yes, he did. And it is still the same way today in "biblical" Christian congregations. Christians do not march alongside the world, following its ideas of what is right and what is not. Christians obey biblical instructions even if the world is scandalized. For example: should pastors allow...

Can you mention one of those doctrines? I have never heard that hatred is a doctrine related to the teachings of the Bible or Jesus Christ.

Trinitarians (vs. Unitarians) argue that Jesus' pre-existence supports their belief in a triune deity, yet his existence in heaven before his earthly birth does not prove he had no beginning. We, Jehovah's Witnesses, understand that Jesus was present with God during the creation of the...

I don't know any of those "doctrines". Can you mention at least one of them, please?

It is, unless you think that the Bible, included Paul's letters, is not "the Word of God". Just as the Jewish people viewed the Law, the Prophets, and other Writings as divinely inspired, early Christians in the second century AD saw Paul's letters in the same light. These texts were considered...

Isn't it an attack on God if you try to contradict any inspired saying of Paul?

Thanks for your opinion. I believe Jesus. John 3:13 Moreover, no man has ascended into heaven but the one who descended from heaven, the Son of man. (...) 31 The one who comes from above is over all others. The one who is from the earth is from the earth and speaks of things of the earth. The...

Doctrine is so important that if it is not based on truth you will not be saved. What does "doctrine" include? It includes things like who God is, who Jesus is, what happens when someone dies, what awaits the world, why we suffer, whether we should be baptized, ... ... ... Love is the most...

Every time the inspired Scriptures speak of the pre-human life of Jesus, they declare that he was "at God's side" not inside his mind. In fact, Jesus prayed to his Father saying: John 17:5 So now, Father, glorify me at your side with the glory that I had alongside you before the world was. The...

Consider the following two teachings of Jesus: John 8:38a ἃ ἐγὼ ἑώρακα __ Things that I've seen παρὰ τῷ πατρὶ __ by the side of the Father λαλῶ· __ I speak. John 5:20 ὁ γὰρ πατὴρ φιλεῖ τὸν υἱὸν __ For the Father has affection for the Son καὶ πάντα δείκνυσιν αὐτῷ ἃ αὐτὸς ποιεῖ, __ and shows...

I quoted from The Lexham English Septuagint (LES). PS: I used two squared brackets expressions to note that in LES the phrase "the Lord Sabaoth" is normally "Jehovah of armies/hosts" in Hebrew, and that the same word for "Messenger" means "Angel".

To managers and Stuff members: I request that YOU, please, do not blame other forum members or close threads on hot Bible topics just because of conflicts caused by specific forum members. It seems that it is a maneuver by some forum members to provoke others with insults in order to instigate...

Yes, we can say so, as you just proved. Remember that Joel 2:31, 32 include the proper name Jehovah in Hebrew. Most Bible versions substituted that sacred name by other titles. Jesus is not Jehovah, but his Son. Also remember these words of Jesus: Matt. 16:27 For the Son of man is to come in...

I constantly reference biblical passages. I appreciate you recognizing that Jehovah's Witnesses' "theology" is entirely rooted in the Scriptures, which authorizes us to be representatives of God and Christ. That is not the case with Catholic theology and others'. That's why no other Christian...

Thank you for corroborating what I said. In your posts we constantly perceive your hatred for Christians who teach the biblical truth that you continue to try to hide. I don't even really think you are a Christian, but rather you are pretending to be one to create conflicts in the forum and...

False Christians hate true Christians for teaching the truth, just as the Pharisees hated Jesus Christ and the other Christians who showed the truth about Jesus. Jesus said that this would be the welcome the world would give to all those he sent to preach the truth of the kingdom. No Jehovah's...

This is what is happening in heavens: Rev. 4:2 After this I immediately came to be in the power of the spirit, and look! a throne was in its position in heaven, and someone was seated on the throne. 3 And the One seated had the appearance of a jasper stone and a sardius stone, and all around...

Once again, they attempt to obscure the direct context of the biblical passages. Is this intentional? John 1:1 must be understood within its full context. The chapter itself provides insights into its meaning. Firstly, in verses 1 and 2, it is stated that the Logos, though referred to as...
