    Can you Unravel the Mystery?

    I read that about Nero in many different books. During that time that's who the enemy was. I don't think the Pope has any influence outside the Vatican. He's not an elected official, just a church leader. I think they should try to be squeaky clean, but humans often don't want that and religions...

    Can you Unravel the Mystery?

    Why do you conclude that? Nothing on this earth is perfect. You think the Catholics are doing fine... Is it because you think we should tolerate some things that people want to do? The Roman Catholic Church does not condemn smoking per se, but considers excessive smoking to be sinful, as...

    Drinking and smoking?

    As one of Jehovah's Witnesses I teach not only Bible commands, but Bible principles - that is, principles that guides Christian living. The Bible does not have a set of rules for everything, but it sets out principles that guides us in everything we do. For example, one would not find written...

    Paths - Which Are You On?

    Paths - Which Are You On?

    The path you are describing sounds like the one Christians are following. (James 4:8) . . .Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts. . . (1 John 3:3) . . .And everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as that one is pure. (2 Corinthians 7:1) . . .beloved ones, let...

    a standing empty cross

    You don't want to answer my comments on Acts 15 then. No 2Cor 7:1 is not a law, it is what we are to do as Christians. I might speak in hyperbole but the gist is true. I see my brother in law and his smoking habit which prevented him from being a JW and I see man made rules to be and remain a...

    a standing empty cross

    (2 Corinthians 7:1) Therefore, since we have these promises, beloved ones, let us cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. If that is mot a law or rule, then maybe I don't know what a law is. Overcome completely their sins? What does...

    a standing empty cross

    How could any Christian not know that? I guess it depend on what kind of "Christian" one chooses to be. Wayward apostate, or true follower of Christ. The former clearly think it's okay to be unclean. Wait. Aren't Catholics allowed to smoke? Brian is Catholic, isn't he? No wonder he hates the...

    a standing empty cross

    IMO that is seeing things in the wrong order. We repent and become a Christian first and then start on the road to clean up our habits. The change comes from God who works in us to change us into the image of Christ. Squeaky clean Christians is seeing Christians in the wrong light. We are...

    a standing empty cross

    Brian2 are you really interested in answers or just jerking our chain for your own entertainment? Smoking is a form of drug addiction that is a known cause of heart disease and cancer, not to mention emphysema and other lung conditions. It also harms others who breathe in their poison. No drug...

    A dialogue about Prophecy & doctrines between the WTS/JW & Seventh-day Adventist

    [Subsection, Whom are the scriptures [KJB] about? What is the Fear of the LORD? Job 28:28 KJB - And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. Acts 10:35 KJB - But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is...

    2 Cor 7:1

    Wow! That is one of the best questions I have ever seen. I don't think that the spirit can be contaminated with this world or evil.

    2 Cor 7:1

    The word translated as 'filthiness' in the KJV is μολυσμός [molusmos, also found as molysmos] meaning 'defilement', 'pollution'. Paul imagines both body and 'spirit' [πνεῦμα pneuma] ─ perhaps he means 'mind' though that would normally be psukhe / psyche ─ as capable of self-defilement. The...

    In 2 Corinthians 7:1 What does it mean that the spirit can become filthy?I thought the spirit was just lifeforce?:confused:

    AT CHRISTMAS, who do we celebrate?..., to Claus ("the elf dressed in red), or to the Baby Jesus?...

    It's not hard to see the pagan roots of so many "Christian" celebrations. Hijacking Jesus to substitute for the pagan deities who's worship was tied up with all of their festivities would hardly earn Christ's approval. Easter is just as pagan in its origins as Christmas. 2 Corinthians 6:14-18...

    Which 'g-d', is being referred to, in John 1:18?

    Let's see what we agree, or don't agree on. I am only using scriptures, since I am interested in what the scriptures are saying. The scriptures show that man was made flesh, a physical body, like the animals. Agreed? Genesis 6:3 My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is...

    Jehovah's Witnesses Knocked on My Door

    I am not twisting anything you said. You say that to purposely change any of what is called God's Word, you could be sinning. My opinion is that to change any word enough to change the meaning IS sinning and it is a sin even if it is done "innocently". The reason why is that to change it...

    Evolution, violence and the existence of God

    Some need to refrain from alcohol because it has a bad effect on them. Jesus drank wine ( including his first miracle ) but to drink or not is a personal choice. Drunkeness is Not scriptural. We can't force or make decisions for another person, just show what the Bible really teaches. Such as...

    Is there any other religion other than Islam that forbids alcohol?

    Jws do not forbid drinking alcoholic beverages. Remember Jesus turned water into fine wine. We do believe smoking and drug abuse are contrary to God's commands. (2 Corinthians 7:1)
