    The Best Guide

    I would guess that you - personally - have to do a lot of your own interpretations when you defend your book. Your book approves of slavery. It glorifies filicide (killing your own child). It centers on scape-goating. It condemns billions to an eternity of torture. And so on. All of those...

    The Best Guide

    Yes, and the one book stands undefeated. So that one writer who tried everything under the sun - actually tested it out, said, "The words of the wise are like oxgoads, and their collected sayings are like firmly embedded nails; they have been given from one shepherd. As for anything besides...

    The New Covenant was taken from us possibly?

    I believe the "end times" means the end of an age. An age of rules wrote by man. In my opinion, that means the ending of the New Covenant, and the world fixes itself when it fixes itself. The part about King Solomon ruling his kingdom with magic is something the Quran says about him. Muslims may...

    The New Covenant was taken from us possibly?

    Hello and to RF. Yes!.....if you are asking if Christendom has ever been in the new covenant in the first place? Jesus and his apostles foretold that a fake form of Christianity would spread like weeds, once the apostles had passed away. So from the second century onward we see a slow and...

    Book of Mormon

    It doesn't say "much devotion to them", it says "much study/contemplation of them". It follows from the previous thought. Solomon says he is looking for straight, true books and then he states the importance of the words of the wise. If they're so important, why aren't the words of the wise...

    Book of Mormon

    What the...?!?!? My apologies!!! I was directing that to robrog and somehow my multiquote (quoting by highlighting text) got all jacked up there! I'll fix that in an edit after this post! Life is wearisome to the flesh.... not sure how reading sends you to an earlier grave than working 40...

    Book of Mormon

    Words of wisdom from one of the wisest men who ever lived...... "The words of the wise are like oxgoads, and their collected sayings are like firmly embedded nails; they have been given from one shepherd. 12 As for anything besides these, my son, be warned: To the making of many books there is...

    I am....

    I am not going to read the Governing Body thread any longer. But I shouldn't say, but I will, the participants seem to think they know what they are talking about and they don't even know the truth about what is written in The Bible about "too many words". Matthew 12:36 ESV / 48 helpful votes...

    Definition of "Christian"

    Too much. It separates us from God. Sure....God speaks and it will happen. But we cannot discount our own voices. When we recite the 'Lord's Prayer'...heaven hears it. So too the devil. I we succeed in the pledge...fine and good. If not...heaven will move away and the devil will...

    Definition of "Christian"

    Did Jesus ever call himself the word? I do not have to believe Jesus is God to believe God's word became Jesus, the man. Ecclesiastes 12:11 The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails--given by one shepherd. By God's word the physical reality was...
