It sounds that way to you. Maybe you are listening to what's coming to your mind, instead of listening to me then.
Did Moses and Paul make rules that were not from God?
Moses did not need to, because God spoke to him in person, so that when something came up where he did not know what to do, he...
Apostles no longer exist. Paul pointed out that Christians have different talents. At some point gifts were or will be done away with 1 Cor 13:8-10. We teach that they ceased with the death of the apostles.
What convinces me? The apostles could cure any infirmity, that cannot be done today.
This is a false teaching, I believe.
Which apostles are you talking about? The twelve apostles? The apostle Paul? [Where is the scriptural evidence?]
Why then does Paul, who is chosen as the apostle to the Gentiles, say 'And he [the Lord] gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some...
My tatay married my nanay
like your daddy married your mommy
And for eyes which cannot see this is for the blind hoping they could be healed
The Bible teaches never to call anyone father [papa] Matthew 23:9

Do not call anyone on earth [who guides you spiritually] your father; for One is...
Clergy? We do not use that in the Church of Christ.
I believe the the word applies to Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant Churches
To wit:
clergy (n.)
c. 1200, clergie "office or dignity of a clergyman," from two Old French words: 1. clergié "clerics, learned men," from Medieval Latin clericatus...
Dimensions:
Apostles
Prophets
Evangelists
Pastors
Teachers
Saints
These are the 'staff'. The order of responsibilities, such as 'door person' to allow in and to not, the 'seaters', the 'servers', the 'cooks', the 'bussers', the 'chefs', the 'prep cooks', the 'overseer', the 'book keepers'...
Why do you mention William Miller, and his predictions on 1844?
I know what your aim is, but William Miller was Baptist, not JW.
This is what happens when persons try to pick apart documents just to find fault.
We see this happening in the case of critics who just look in the Bible to find...
No... graves are not living people.
Yes, those resurrected appeared unto many
I never said Jesus was resurrected the same day (the scripture was a compilation of death and resurrection - not one day"
The ear quake was when Jesus died. Matthew 27 was, as it said, "those who slept" = dead...
It was living people who came out the graves (cemetery) ' after ' Jesus was resurrected.
Those living people appeared unto many.
Jesus was Not, Not resurrected the day he died. Jesus went to the grave at death - Acts of the Apostles 2:27.
The 'day-of-death earthquake' caused the dead bodies...
djhwoodwerks,
Please allow me to interject a thought.
God, Himself, has promised to protect His word, from all generations, Psalms 12:6,7. God does not make sure that every and every translation is completely inerrant, but He makes sure that you can easily find the truth of His word by...
He does, thru teachers, His word and the Holy Spirit.
I look at preachers and teachers this way, a teacher or preacher is like the "National" Weather Service, they give the general weather for the whole United States, if I want to know the specific weather for my area, I go to my locale news...
"RETHINK" what, the way YOU see the Bible?
I hope that isn't a reflection of your knowledge!

Every witness is an evangelist, you were too, and might still be, since you've gotten 'new light' and were...
The Apostles are the souls that you can't do without.
The prophets are warning you. You should listen to them. About the other guy? No! About yourself.
To the best of my knowledge, there aren't any of those living.
James 3:1
It takes a village to raise a child for good.
That needs a...
Isn't that what this thread is about, you getting people to believe "your way, which is God's way"?
Aren't you saying that YOU are the only one that is not being misled, because YOU believe the Bible has error and not the true word of God, and that Jesus told YOU the true meaning?

Here's another thing. Are the verses you quoted in the Catholic Bible?
If not, explain that to me.
If so, are you saying Catholics are going against their own bible?
My point exactly.
IT IS CLEAR from the Bible that the first century Church of Christ was led by the apostles and assisted by other ministers of the Gospel. Local churches were led by bishops, deacons and even deaconesses. However, nowhere in the Bible we can read that the whole Church was led...
Hebrews 10:24-25
Acts 2:44
Ephesians4:11-12
Jesus had a band of followers he taught.
We see the pattern of congregating together in Acts and the letters of Paul.
Jesus addresses churches in Revelation.
We meet for a good reason for meeting together. We stir each other up and we build each...
When a person is properly baptized, they become "Jewish" in the eyes of God. They are bound to him just as much as any Jew. Did you not know that baptism was a Jewish ordinance? God can indeed raise up out of these rocks children to Abraham.
