    What did Jesus die to save us from?

    The choice before us is life or no life (death; that's what the word means) and it is connected to whom allegiance is paid. If ultimately there is no death then what are we talking about when we use words like 'salvation, redemption, narrow path. So let's eat drink and be merry ( I mean, what's...

    What are the main doctrinal differences between Jehovah's Witnesses and mainstream Christianity?

    A persecution complex is common amongst staunch believers of any particular line. It helps validate the belief in their system. The thing is, for the most part it is imagined and I think that discrimination against the JW devotees if any, is because they badger. When they feel they have...

    IS IT A SIN FOR A CHRISTIAN TO VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT, OR IS IT JUST WRONG??

    No, I am not saying that.....read my reply again. He is not a spy, he is a journalist and he exposed the murderous behaviour of American soldiers killing innocent civilians and many other things hidden from the people. Plenty came to his defence....all around the world. Justifying political...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    Holiness is not something one engages yada yada about, holiness is about being. You can be certain that those who keep on about it are using it to hide behind. I love righteousness, however my experience and the the experience of others I know whose hearts are set on righteousness is that the...

    IS IT A SIN FOR A CHRISTIAN TO VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT, OR IS IT JUST WRONG??

    Yet Jesus never debated from a political angle be it Roman or Jewish....and the Jews had 'The Bible' If anything, he got plenty of flack because he befriended those considered unsavoury. Yes, Julian is imprisoned for a reason, you are quite right about that, the reason being he exposed to the...

    IS IT A SIN FOR A CHRISTIAN TO VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT, OR IS IT JUST WRONG??

    So you've coupled being a Republican as God's side and Democrat as being the Devil's?.....hmmmmm Have you wondered why Jesus never aligned himself politically? Perhaps his Kingdom might have made better progress? Could you tell me who the God fearing political movements are in other countries...

    To answer your question re the wives of the brothers Cain and Able. The human was not genetically corrupted as it is today so taking their sisters as wives would not pose a problem with their offspring as it does today. I do not see the story as allegorical. No doubt there are many more factors...

    IS IT A SIN FOR A CHRISTIAN TO VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT, OR IS IT JUST WRONG??

    IS IT A SIN FOR A CHRISTIAN TO VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT, OR IS IT JUST WRONG?? You have a preference, bully for you.......so don't demonise those whose preference is otherwise.....especially don't turn it into a religion.

    Is Reincarnation baloney?

    Anyone who has any clue knows that reincarnation theories are directly out of the pagan handbook. To even consider the question as if it has any credibility does not understand the narrative of Jesus.

    Who did Christ always point to?

    Who did Christ always point to? @ theJW I would say the Father. So, seeing you've been in your denomination for 50 yrs you'd have some clues about the Father? Please tell us about the Father.

    Unfortunately even the bible writers had their misunderstandings of God. They wrote as best they could with the baggage they had (assumptions, prejudices and self righteousness.) However, we do have a direct window into God through Jesus but few tend to want to use it or are willing to know how...

    Well there you have it! .....and I'm sure there's a bucket of justified reasons which arrive at this conclusion. I am sorry for my flawed brothers and sisters and I'm sorry for my own flaws. However it does not discourage me. I think all of humanity has inherited that rattling bucket of bones...
