Are you aware that some people can read? This includes non-Catholics. I love how the Bible is a very figurative book. ‘Born of water’ or ‘not eyes to see’ or ‘as many descendants as grains of sand’ or ‘we are one’ are all non-literal expressions. Make a Blessed Day!

I already did. So did Nancy. That corresponds to the invention of the printing press, when people were finally able to read God's words for themselves. That's when they realized the load of man-made doctrines the RCC was pushing, like the mystical sacraments. Listen to me well. These are among...

Including JW, right?

Not an answer to my question! Also, there is NO reason one cannot realize the ancients held the same view you today. None. Agh, you are confusing common with proper nouns. @Robert Gwin never claimed Jeuss was a member of the organization formed in the 19th century known as 19th century...

Oy vey! Jesus is not God. We know this because he died and Scripture says Jesus is a man. John 1:1-2 refers to God and his voice, not another person/being. Hence the thread on Houtos. "This" (voice of God) was in the beginning with God. There was no "he" in the beginning with God per John...

Then it should be easy for you to give a concise answer.

Mary, that is not a POV but a conclusion coming from left field. It stands to reason that being born of water IS natural birth in the context of then being born of Spirit. Also, to deny our original birth was related to water begs the question what then is the reference for us to be born again...

What test of Christianity is it that JW's fail? Please cite a Scripture verse to support your answer.

Interesting POV. Mark, I don't sense a lot of love with shame and false words in that post. Given, JW's consider themselves Christian, doesn't it stand to reason that Jesus plays a prominent role in the religion they hold dear?

Another person clarifies YHWH is the personal name of God. Again, genus and differentia. I understand these Greek words mean: Elohim: Heavenly Being (including life forms angels and god) El Shaddai: Almighty God Whether title or description, these are not God's name, not his personal name...

Not at all. Created through him. Created By him. Not equal. You mean, like respect Jesus' God is the only true God?

If we are not God but one with God, why is Jesus God because he is one with God?

I tend to side with the RCC regarding statues. Being a history buff, I enjoy learning and being reminded of history. My nondenominational church does annual ‘stations’ of the cross at the time of lent. I don’t see any problem honoring others, provided you don’t worship them, as you said...

Like I said, steeped in rationalization. I showed you how the Bible says he was resurrected IN the Spirit but you carry on. He took on many human bodies? Oh my!

There was nothing to click on. Feel free to do your own research on the Great Commission. I know you cannot let go of your idol so must connect WHAT (our purpose) with HOW (knowledge of the Bible). But this is a false god. If you are not let by the Spirit, you aren't fulfilling your purpose...

One moment at a time, my friend. It sounds like you have an opportunity to spiritually grow, to let go of your anger, resentment and attachment to unhealthy things of the past. Although in normal life, we have to plan. In spiritual life, it's all about remaining in the present. A song lyrics...

No. Keep ignorning v15.

No. You are not understanding the point because of your doctrine. John 1:1-2 is not referring to Jesus. v2 does not have a word that means "he" but a word that means "this." See Houtos Means Only "This" (John 6:60 & 1:2) | Christian Forums @ Christianity Board

What was your answer, yes or no? Are we our own Creator?

Yes. In Post 2453 Taken wrote: This is a tactic trinitarians often invoke, throw a bunch of stuff together and make it seem like it is all the same. In studying epistemology, one realizes there such a thing as a valid definition; It must have a genus and a differentia. Our society's perversion...
