    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    Sorry, but you are creating your own church history from whole cloth. Nothing about this is true. Any reading of from our early second and third century historians show otherwise. Sunday worship flowed directly from the first century Christians up to and including the present day. The only...

    My Current Thinking on the Church, Religion and Sexual Morality

    You are so right! 1 Corinthians 6:9,10 Colossians 3:5,6 That’s one way you can tell who has the truth (of Christianity, which imo is complete religious truth): by observing the ones who strive to live by it, who adhere to its standards. And the Bible goes a step further…according to 1...

    Elijah

    Jesus taught self-control not self-denial. If by mortifying you mean self-control then yes, that's fine. If mortifying by "fasting" means controlling a healthy diet as opposed to gluttony, then fine! Anorexia and Bulimia are a self-centered, self-obsessed form of behavior or fasting. The...

    Elijah

    Romans 8:13 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. Colossians 3:5 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and...

    Free Will

    You do not choose everything in life... which is obvious. so we are not saying that everything is by choice. i think you know that. Randomly is your focus? Then I must have missed your point. How does randomness fit this topic? I think I am confused now. What was your point? My point is that...

    Suffering and evil

    Perhaps if we check the original word usage 'evil', it will help. EVIL That which results in pain, sorrow, or distress. In order to convey the correct thought in English, the very comprehensive Hebrew word raʽ is variously translated as “bad,” “gloomy,” “ugly,” “evil,” “calamitous,”...

    Homosexuality and religious.

    I am opposed to sex outside a committed relationship. It is not a piece of paper that ensures that, esp these days.

    Homosexuality and religious.

    So you are not opposed to sex out of wedlock? How can you justify that position given what the Bible says? What does the Bible say about being intimate before marriage? Likewise, all Biblical verses that condemn sexual immorality as being sinful also condemn sex before marriage. Sex before...

    What Is Biblical Faith?

    Please notice Matthew 5:32 In verse 32 Jesus says about divorce -> ' except on account of adultery ( sexual immorality Fornication KJV)' This is repeated at Matthew 19:9 ( except on the grounds of adultery/ fornication) This is translated into English from the Greek word porneia. So, the reason...

    Question to all

    Choices

    Sure, it’s a choice! I’ve known many who loved what they were learning about Jehovah God and His Word, the future hope & so forth, but when they realized they had to change their lifestyle, i.e., stop sleeping around, quit getting drunk, etc., they didn’t want it enough…”it” being God’s...

    Why did God create homosexuality?

    Genesis never mentions marriage, or an arrangement of marriage. Leviticus never mentions marriage, or an arrangement of marriage. Proverbs never mentions marriage, and “wife” is a vague term. It mentions “fornication.” It has nothing to do with homosexuality. What about people in same-sex...

    Why did God create homosexuality?

    Jehovah God created humans to engage in sex only within the arrangement of marriage between a male and a female. (Genesis 1:27-28; Leviticus 18:22; Proverbs 5:18-19) The Bible condemns sexual activity that is not between a husband and wife, whether it is homosexual or heterosexual conduct. (1...

    Do we really have free will?

    I also like the high moral standards of the Jehovah's Witnesses, which is something that is difficult to come by in these decadent times. My religion also has very high moral standards and the following passage speaks to what Paul said in Col 3:5. “My captivity can bring on Me no shame. Nay...

    Do we really have free will?

    Man will cling to his flesh, he cannot save himself, but with god all things are possible, but at a time and place of God's choosing, not man's.

    Do we really have free will?

    ‘If Your Right Eye Makes You Stumble’ Matthew 5:29, 30. In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gave sound counsel on morality. He knew that our imperfect body members can have a dangerous influence on us. Jesus therefore said: “If, now, that right eye of yours is making you stumble, tear it out...

    Do we really have free will?

    “If, now, your right eye is making you stumble,” said Jesus Christ, “tear it out and throw it away from you.” (Matthew 5:29) Of course, Jesus was not speaking literally! Rather, he meant that if we want to please God and gain everlasting life, we must deaden our body members, as it were, in...

    Is according to Jews everything God's will?

    Does God hate sin? Most assuredly. But this doesn't mean that the price of sin is infinite. All your evidence above is taken from the New Testament, which as you know carries no authority for me.

    Is according to Jews everything God's will?

    God hates sin. Period. None of us on earth can fully realize just how much God hates even the smallest sin. I had not pictured a God who had this stern side. One day, however, I realized that I couldn't just create the God that I wanted. God is not an exercise in imagination, or visualization...
