I agree @RLT63 should have provided a citation. 2 points to ponder: He’s gotten MUCH better at not merely copying and pasting to make his argument. So, there is that. As he replied, the bigger point is NOT where the question originated from but why no straight forward answer? Normally, @Aunty...

You’re asking me? I must have missed when you asked me before.

Now, you are contradicting yourself/playing word games. Sad

Yes. I have a time constraint problem. You seem to think writing a dozen paragraphs is necessary to answer my simple questions. Just an Appeal to Diversion. The 12 paragraph mandate posts is a real problem. It makes you extremely ineffective but we talked about this MANY times before. Simple...

I hope our resident expert in JW dogmas, @Aunty Jane, can confirm the truth of this with a simple 3 or 4 word sentence (and not 12 paragraphs): That is true. That is NOT true. For me, the ‘final test’ is less profound than the obvious IDOLATRY of knowledge, in a works based doctrine that...

Do you see the 3 verses now? Or are you still pretending only your verses are to be allowed on the table for discussion? I’m saying that if want to have this doctrinal discussion, you should open a thread on that topic. This thread seems to be about the IDOLATRY of translations.

This is for a different thread. Having said that, I already provided 3 verses. That your argument is weak, is shown in that you swept the verses aside that go against your doctrine. That has nothing to do with translation.

Impossible since you literally read the word of God (in a less familiar translation) and condemn it.

Welcome Jim and Jackie. You might be interested to know we have at least one more tandem here at CyB, WalterandDebbie.

Any translation that does not have James in the title is preferable to one that does. In my experience, not one translation is the one that makes the word of God come alive for me for any given verse. I have experienced Hebrews 4:12 - the word coming alive for me - with the CEV, NLT, VOICE and...

You do like to keep changing the subject, pivot from one thing to another. We have arrived at a point in discovering the truth about JW doctrine; The JW works based doctrine is so stringent that even devout and faithful JW's (of the past) are not saved. This is because all doctrine is a...

But being a man, this means all men exist before human birth. OR it means Scripture is wrong in identifying him as a man.

My best argument for the existence of God is not singular but a compilation of the following. Creation Life The resurrection of Christ Apostles Choose Martyrdom Rather Than Deny Christ The Witness & Transformation of Billions My Personal Witness & Transformation

Sometimes I question how you could be a Christian.

The importance of faith is less about the future than the present. Not sure where you are going with the fire wood and idol carvings being an introduction to Christianity. No. Christianity is primarily about now, the ever present. When Jesus said to seek, knock and ask, he meant now. The...

Luke 16:10 tells with being trusted, not about having right knowledge to obtain salvation. Nice try. I'm not reversing myself. You do ignore the contradictions of your doctrines. JW doctrinal adjustments logically mean JW's of the past cannot obtain salvation. Your response is to pretend that...

Yes. The 2-part season finale touched on a theme now repeated. The varying faith of the Apostles. First it was Mary, now it was Peter. In the show, the extra-biblical back story is that Peter's faith was no longer burning hot with his wife miscarrying. The Biblical scene where Jesus walked on...

Again, you have COMPLETELY failed to grasp the significance of Original Sin. No one worships the cross lady. It is not an idol. The cross is a symbol of God reaching out to us, to bridge the gap, which makes all the difference. It is God's effort, not our pursuit of doubling down on the...

False equality. Right and true is not as good as wrong and false; that tree is better. AndI admit that there are many true trees. Continuing with your metaphor, most trees with truth need to be pruned for the wrong and false even they contain.

Enoch and Elijah went. Where do you get off supposing how God achieved his goal is at our pay grade? We don’t know how God resurrected Jesus but we do know that he did.
