Jesus did not teach that we should judge others and then tell lie after lie after lie when dealing with what other denominations supposedly do. Dishonesty is not Truth.
I find Jehovah's Witnesses teach what Jesus taught at Luke 10:29-37 which is ' walk the walk '.
For that matter, I find Micah4:5 informs us that each will ' walk ' in the name of their God.
Jehovah's Witnesses 'walk ' by faith - 2 Corinthians 5:7 - just as Jesus 'walked' by faith - Luke 4:43...
I agree with you regarding the Bible principle that charity is for the church first, the others second. That is clear. Paul, for example, would request collections for the poor . . . saints in Jerusalem.
I do not want to argue Watchtower doctrine with you. I'm more interested in hearing your...
If we go back to the first century, we can see that Christians took care of their own. If everyone did that, what would be the result?
How many churches actually do that? How many who claim to belong to a specific religion actually know their own brethren, let alone know how to help them when a...
...and what about The Bhagavad Gita? The Qur'an? The Adi Granth? The Kitáb-i-Aqdas? The Agam Sutras? The Tripitaka? The Avesta? Why should we uncritically accept your holy book without question while rejecting all of the others?
(Deuteronomy 6:14, 15) . . .You must not follow after other gods, any gods of the peoples who are all around you, 15 for Jehovah your God who is in your midst is a God who requires exclusive devotion. Otherwise, the anger of Jehovah your God will blaze against you and he will annihilate you from...
I know you won't see this. Something about my being thin skinned, so you had to run away in a huff and hide. That's weird.
Anyway, your words seem reactionary and angry. Unfortunately, not atypical of what I have seen from you before. You judge people all the time. Without any...
Since when does God set standards for anyone but his own people? His laws only apply to his chosen nation and those who join themselves to it. Christ's commands only apply to those who want to be followers of Christ. So what is this Universal standard you speak of? Different people have...
first -what are they? that would take quite a while...
meanwhile... each person has about 120 or so -or less -and mankind from Adam (not first humanoid) was given about 6,000 years cut off from the tree of life -but the world is about to be very different -so we do not have to. There is no time...
Well, taking it into Isaiah 53, many people believe it pertains to Jesus. Just as you explain things, other things can be explained, too.
So continuing this line of conversation, do you really believe peace will or can be achieved by Jews or the state of Israel? How close do you think all Jews...
Aeonian Life Passes Into A Region Above Time
Let us consider the true meaning of the words "aion" and "aionios".
These are the originals of the terms rendered by our translators "everlasting," for ever and ever" and on this translation, so misleading, a vast portion of the popular dogma of...
If one has faith in what Jesus instructed to do at Matthew 28:18-20; Matthew 24:14; Acts 1:8 then one would have the faith to do the same spiritual work that Jesus did at Luke 4:43. Not physical works as the primary thing but spiritual works.
Anyone, including atheists, can be good neighborly...
How is your concept of the Spirit any different from that found in many Christian circles? You view the Spirit as some sort of impersonal, alien power, just as many Christians do, and that's plenty scary for many people.
Research shows there was no original, unified church that later split...
Well, you see I never was one to be afraid of the "Holy Ghost" because I never believed that there was such a thing. The Bible does not teach that God's spirit is a "ghost" in the way Christendom has portrayed it. God's spirit is the administration of his awesome power, directed wherever it is...
Hi Fletch, When one places that in proper context one sees that those from "the nations" has chosen to walk in the ways of the Creator GOD and that will be "in the last days" and will be as Isa.66:22-23 states.
"His god" will be THE GOD.
But that is the Jewish God. A Jewish friend gave me a book titled You Take Jesus, We'll Take God. They do see God and describe him different than Christians. Plus, that "for ever and ever" business, how long does it say for the Jews to keep the Sabbath and probably the rest of their Laws...
