    I'm starting to move away from "pretend Christianity"

    Tell us more: how what you said, in your post I quoted before, happened in the first century about the way Christians were actually organized at that time ....

    I'm starting to move away from "pretend Christianity"

    I hear that from anyone who posts on the internet. "Born again" from a biblical point of view has a lot of meaning to me... but when people say it online it seems like they want to play with something as serious as that. Those who call themselves "born again" on the Internet often talk a lot...

    I'm starting to move away from "pretend Christianity"

    Was it like this in the first century?

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    Like saying: "you can't accept what others tell you ... but me". coffee:

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    Are you going to teach us what is unbiblical? What a joke! that you believe that there cannot be a group of people leading the congregation, and at the same time you believe that you can tell others what is unbiblical!!! :jest:

    I'm starting to move away from "pretend Christianity"

    They don't know what "THE Church" is. The idea that most Christians have at this time about "the church" points to a virtual community formed by individuals who can be in any Christian group without difference, accept any of the doctrinal variants about many things without difference, have...

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    I understand that some people have the idea that every Christian has to become independent and live their own "Christianity"... So they try to make others believe that they should do the same. The main issue here is: They advise this 1) because they do it and it turns out well, or 2)...

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    So, yes, you are missing the point. As you can see here: Acts 15:1 Now some men came down from Judea and began to teach the brothers: “Unless you get circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” 2 But after quite a bit of dissension and disputing by Paul and Barnabas...

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    Since I am a Jehovah's Witness I don't think I am missing any point, but you are. :) Tell me something: Do you think that 49 AD Christians had "a steward" who decided what those who became Christians should believe and practice, or do you think they did not have one? A clue: Acts 15:1 Now...

    Some "Jesus mysteries" that always fascinate me

    Bible skeptics are looking for something they want to call "historical Jesus," which they can't seem to find in biblical Christian writings. What would be that "historical Jesus" that you want to have? One that doesn't work miracles? ... more credible to unbelievers? to whom the entities of the...

    Bible was never written to you

    You call it institution. I call it: one people that thinks as one. :) The Bible describes that this way: 1 Cor. 1:10 Now I urge you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you should all speak in agreement and that there should be no divisions among you, but that you may be...

    Some "Jesus mysteries" that always fascinate me

    Everyone knows that Christianity extends its roots back to the very first century in which Jesus lived. Christian congregations did not appear a century after Jesus died, but were already created just a few months after his death. By the end of the first century there was already an...

    Bible was never written to you

    @marks I am very pleased that you agree with us, Jehovah's Witnesses, on this important issue. If we did not have the Scriptures: how could we distinguish faith supported by facts and blind credulity, between apostate teachings and Christian teachings, between pagan religious practices and...

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    Jesus made a related question: Matt. 24:45 “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time? 46 Happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so! 47 Truly I say to you, he will appoint him over...

    Bible was never written to you

    2 Tim. 3:16 All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work. That text clearly states that to "set things straight"...

    Bible was never written to you

    Probably because I am a Jehovah's Witness, I cannot conceive of any servant of God or true Christian who would not wish to acquire all his knowledge from the Bible as its most direct source. There can be no discernment about right or wrong without the Word of God. Even Jesus himself considered...

    Is Lying a Violation of the Ten Commandments? - No. - Well, maybe... ???

    A true Christian does not lie under any circumstances. There could be a situation in which it seems that lying is the only way out... Obviously, this is how all the temptations to which Christians are subjected work. Our human weaknesses and the evil spirits that surround us and this world...

    Some "Jesus mysteries" that always fascinate me

    Jesus was a spiritual teacher. Although some details of his life before baptism are touched on in the Scriptures, about his life, the three years after baptism until his death and resurrection, are the most important to our faith... and for that reason God made these accounts of his teachings...

    Is Lying a Violation of the Ten Commandments? - No. - Well, maybe... ???

    I share what the Bible says. 1 Cor. 6:9 Or do you not know that unrighteous people will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Do not be misled. Those who are sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, men who submit to homosexual acts, men who practice homosexuality, 10 thieves, greedy people, drunkards...
