    Does God want us to use His name?

    So you are not a JW but beleive the name is legit. But you also trash holidays, claiming they come from the enemy? Am I getting that right? Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc. are from Satan? Are you a Messianic Jew?

    Does God want us to use His name?

    Michael is under the command of Jesus. To believe that Jesus is Michael incarnate is false. The whole Bible is about Christ ... and only five verses about Michael. You have been deceived! You need to ask Him about that someday - He'll certainly correct you. Firstborn from the dead. Firstborn...

    Does God want us to use His name?

    Sounds speculative and at best theoretical. I am convinced the original New Testament texts were in Koine Greek. Some were in Aramaic. Possibly some in Hebrew, but none exist. There are fragments of the 1st Century Greek texts. From what I underatand there are 5800 copies of the original...

    Does God want us to use His name?

    I didn't insult you, I just asked if that list of evils was all you had. Isaiah 45:7 sheds some light ... and darkness. CEB I form light and create darkness, make prosperity and create doom; I am the Lord, who does all these things. ERV I made the light and the darkness. I bring peace, and I...

    Does God want us to use His name?

    That's good. I assumed wrong and will retrack that. Yet, you're defending the name as if witnessing for Jehovah, a made up name. Many Christians also use the name. I don't. I address our Father in Heaven as Father, Jesus as Jesus, Lord, Savior, Messiah, Son of God and the Holy Spirit as Holy...

    No, they were ignorant of evil.

    Does God want us to use His name?

    The Roman Catholic Church received many corrections when Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation came along. Many newly discovered manuscripts have given us help to better translate. Jesus was worshipped by angels and people since birth! HE IS LORD, YHWH. HE is the great "I AM", and He is...

    Does God want us to use His name?

    And yet the JW's reject fundamental teachings of the Bible. Sorry, when you claim Jesus is a Michael, a created being and the Holy Spirit is not a person but a force - YOU LOSE MUCH. Arguments are minor loses compared to the many blessings that the JW is deprived of by their own belief system.

    You can see that yet are in favor of Pro-Choice. Many parents see the work as a miracle and yet some would prevent it from being so. Enough, I don't want to further derail this thread - Jehovah might get mad.

    Does God want us to use His name?

    Here's your words: "I said it is not independent life. It is dependent on the females life. It does not breath air required to sustain it own individual life." So "not living independently" and an a dependant life are different? Sounds like you a contradiction. It sure is and so is creation a...

    Does God want us to use His name?

    I said God had to give them a choice. We all would have failed the test too. Sin came into the world by Adam and salvation came by Jesus. The only true value if love js that is is given freely, by choice. It is wonderful that life is fulled with choices and for us they all work out for good...

    Does God want us to use His name?

    You do not live independently. God gave you life and sustains it. He keeps your heart beating. In essence you are hooked up to an oxygen supply that He provides as did the blood supply the oxygen while you were in the womb. Idependent? Everything is provided for you. You cannot live or breathe...

    Does God want us to use His name?

    The fetus has a heartbeat and most other organs before 2 months. So because you think it hasn't left the womb and not born, it is not living? It is growing like anything that lives. And God created that life - so no, Jesus would not stop its heart - He would rebuke her for such a selfish act...

    Does God want us to use His name?

    You can't force someone to love you. You must give them a choice and it has to come willingly. That is a risk worth taking. Not giving man a choice is then making us blissful, smiling idiots, spoiled kids, walking around having no real value, no morality, no understanding of what they possess...

    Does God want us to use His name?

    Is that all you can think of? Factor in all evil that has ever been committed. He allowed it. He causes all things to work together for good. We learn from evil what good is. We could not know ir appreciate what good is unless we went without it, experienced its opposite. Could we understand...

    Does God want us to use His name?

    Actually your whole post was good, I agree with it. But let me add to your list one particular commandment, to see if this also falls within your perspective. When God said, "thou shalt not murder", what would be the truth concerning the unborn fetus? What would Jesus say if a pregnant woman...

    Does God want us to use His name?

    I have a bunch of JW's in my family whom I love and they love me as well. I am not against them. We just have gone the gamut, hit the wall or so to speak and realize we can't really argue our differences anymore since there is no resolve, so we just live and love. Believe me, I have had Elders...

    Job 2:10

    No! I sense that you are seeking God, seeking truth and just like many of us in the beginning had doubts and were confused, we start by opening the door of our hearts to Jesus. He stands there and knocks. If you open the door and let Him in , He will come in. Reprobates don't do what you are...

    Does God want us to use His name?

    That gies against the sovereignty of God, His Perfect Plan ... as if man can derail it, corrupt it to the point of scrapping it. That is not the God I worship. He has everything under control, His Church is right in track with all who are written in the Book of Life up to tiday ha e been saved...

    Does God want us to use His name?

    Yah, the church was off track for 1900 years and God finally said, "Emm, they just don't have it right, I'll send Charles Taze Russell in to get them back on track! And since all the translations are off too, I'll send them a real scholar, Frederick Franz to write the NWT." Excellence! lol
