The point is that Matthew was written after Mark and the original versions of Mark don't have the resurrection. That means the resurrection story is a later addition and NOT part of what actually happened. later followers did believe in it, often because of second-hand accounts.
This makes...
Well, it’s not that, you’re just plain wrong and I gave you the references. Post your scholars take on Matthew 28-18-20 and the Book of Acts on what it says and what Jesus meant.
I’m having a hard time believing you read and understood the Bible at all.
Jesus said this:
”And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of...
No, I do not have to be baptized with water. That is only a Christian belief, one I do not ascribe to.
“Incline your ears to the sweet melody of this Prisoner. Arise, and lift up your voices, that haply they that are fast asleep may be awakened. Say: O ye who are as dead! The Hand of Divine...
Many people claim to be "baptised by the Holy Spirit" by many different conflicting beliefs, standards and methods, and they often judge others as not being baptised, because they did not use their standard or methods, and of course believe exactly as they do. This is sectarian foolishness.
You have to be baptized with water , in the name of The Father , The Son and The Holy Spirit.
First , Matthew 3:13-15
"Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter him, saying, 'I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?'
Jesus replied...
First of all: sins include doctrinal mistakes. Specifically John and James words are both talking about pride in our doctrines, the greatest problem in Christianity. It is not enough to remark "I could be wrong." What James says implies that Christians must never claim to be correct...
According to the scriptures, If we acknowledge and repent of our sins and confess them to God we can receive Gods forgiveness of our sins as we choose to believe and obey what Gods Word says see Proverbs 28:13; Acts 3:19; 1 John 1:9. God then promises to give us His Spirit to guide us and to...
Your response here..
Well that is not true but let me show you why.
1). Firstly the scriptures (not me) tell us we are to judge righteous judgement. That is we can make judgements according to right doing and to what is true (see John 7:24). According to the scriptures only Gods Word is the...
I have seen many JW's threaten. They claim if you do not share their silly beliefs that you will go to hell. Okay, that is a very idle threat, but a threat nonetheless.
And you should study your Bible a bit more Genesis 2 is not Genesis one with more details. There are real differences.
First off, there’s no “v 2.0”; the first one, never happened. Only a Garden. (“Paradise earth v 2.0”, that is funny!) But it’s coming. “Thy Will be done on Earth,” you know.
Second, we don’t knock on doors and ‘threaten’ people! Grief!
If we did that, we wouldn’t be growing as fast as we are...
Hey VC.
I see you are not familiar with JWs. :)
I can help.
This will be long, so I will PM you that info.
Just be yourself. JWs are people. :)
I'm sorry you did not explain this earlier.
If you had contacted them, you would have been able to attend from wherever you were... via video...
So you actually expect JW proselytizing to win converts?
From the outside, it seems like more of a tactic to encourage a feeling of divisiveness toward society, and by extension, loyalty to the group. IOW, the high failure rate seems to me like a design feature, not a bug.
I can kinda...
It's an interesting discussion referencing grammar and understanding of who God is and what the word 'god' means. So don't get confused. Jesus was given all authority but then the Bible says he will turn that over to his God and Father. Keep praying, ask for wisdom and understanding. Matthew...
Well I see plenty: The doors are open to Heaven for everyone! Be reconciled to God is what the Spirit is saying! He isn’t holding our sins against us. Thanks be to Jesus Christ!
“And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on...
Under the Constitution of the Mosaic Law the life of the unborn was pro-life.
To deliberately injure a pregnant woman was a capital offence.
We are Not under the Mosaic Law as you know, but under secular law.
The 'good news' is that Christians obey -> God as ruler - Acts of the Apostles 5:29...
