So you have nothing do you. Why pretend I am saying things then I have never said? That is bearing false witness is it not against your neighbor?
I have never once said to 2ndpillar as you were claiming "Well you are just one blind lost goat." Or... "You are from your father, the Devil..." So...
I figure, to tell someone they choose to close their eyes and ears to hearing and seeing what Gods Word says, one has basically said, 'you are from your father, the Devil, and you wish do do the desires of your father.'
You do not know what you do not know and how can you see when you close...
Both people claiming to be right does not mean that they are both right and that someone is not wrong. Likewise that does not mean that someone that is in error should not be corrected as stated in the scriptures already provided to you in the previous post like God requests us to do. The...
Wouldn't every professed Christian say that?
So, if you really think about it, while you have that in mind, and the person you are trying to pummel has the same thing in mind... guess what? Two guys butting iron heads... forever, because neither is willing to say, "Okay, you see it that way. I...
It appears you have bolstered your case with quotes from the false prophet Paul, the "enemy" (Mt 13:25) who planted his seed "message" right alongside the "message" of the son of man, except in the case of your referral to Rev 3:19, which would point to the guy who claimed to be a Jew's Jew, as...
Yet it has never been about any of that for me at all. It has always been about believing and obeying what Gods Word says and putting Gods Word first above all things and standing up for what is true and what is heresy... see Ephesians 5:11; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Timothy 4:2; 5:20; Titus1:13...
It's not a case of wanting to identify with something.
It's rather a case of appreciating someone for who they are, and showing it. If that identifies one with it, that's okay.
For example, we don't want to identify with how someone views injustice in order to have a sense of love of goodness...
It is?
Myth does not have a real good connotation here at Titus1:13,14: "This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sternly, so that they will be sound in the faith 14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of men who have rejected the truth. 15To the pure, all things...
Will prostitutes get in the kingdom? No they will not.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
[9]Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
[10]Nor thieves...
Jehovah's Witnesses are readers of the hearts of the governing body
I shall agree with this.
The weirdest thing in the history of the universe is the saying that disagreeing with the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses means hating Jehovah and Jesus. I am sure some people do not think it is...
Since when is mortal man a reader of hearts like you are claiming? JW,s do not hate apostates, they hate what they stand for( standing in opposition to Jehovah and Jesus) Even Jesus taught --ones own family members would be their enemies( Matt 10:34-36)( spiritually) Yet we do not hate them. It...
Not if they continue to choose sin over righteousness--this makes them a part of what Jesus termed--the world--the world Jesus said to be no part of.
Shunning is a loving provision--it is severe-Titus1:13--if everyone just keeps treating them as a brother in Christ or sister--they will learn...
"Read 1 Corinthians 5:11-13 "
After a person is declared disfellowshipped that person cannot be talked about and no one will ever know why he or she was disfellowshipped except for the elders. They know. It is always assumed that when someone is disfellowshipped it is because of a gross sins...
The organizations literature instructs differently. JW's are have no contact with anyone disfellowshipped.

REMAIN LOYAL TO JEHOVAH
16 There are members of the congregation who committed serious sins and who were reproved “with severity, that they may be healthy in the faith.”...
sincerly said: ↑
Paul gained some by quoting their own gods truths in principles. However, with the spreading over the world from the Ark(some 2500BC) (and those all were aware of the principles given by GOD), why is it dismissed that those who dismissed some of GOD'S Principles wouldn't retain...
Ok…lets look at the Paul's pagan reference in Titus 1:
12One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” 13This testimony is true. Titus 1:12-13
Are you kidding me?? You are saying that Paul was right to reference this pagan "prophet"...
Ah, i see.
I'll take this advice and leave it at that then,
Titus1:13*This witness is true. For this very cause keep on reproving them with severity, that they may be healthy in the faith, 14*paying no attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn themselves away from...
