    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    “The Messiah”? Jesus stated otherwise… Luke 10:21. We (Christians of course) have to use the Holy Scriptures, as the basis / support for our beliefs. Since God (Jesus’ Father) is the one who reveals His word, we need His approval…. and that comes from obedience to Him! And His Son. John...

    What convinced you that Evolution is the truth?

    It’s not so much individual Christians, aka those who are labeled the “laity”. They just follow the examples set by their leaders, aka the clergy, the leaders of Christendom. What I wrote, was that they’re blood guilty. Did not Jesus say even to “love your enemy”? (Matthew 5:44) What about...

    You are a bad Christian

    Jesus did indicate there would be fake ones. Matthew 7:21-23 Actually this a prophecy. How did Jesus know there would be ones doing “powerful works,” even thinking they were “expelling demons,” ‘in His name’ but obviously without his help? Christianity was hijacked a long time ago… when...

    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    Thanks for pointing out what Jesus said at Matthew 7:21-23. Many would call him Lord but he wouldn't really hear them. "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord...

    The Bible reading about Josiah is certainly interesting.

    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    Yes, mainly because of the confusion and hypocrisy within Christendom itself. Unfortunately, many throw out the Bible, too. There’s a lot in it that is misunderstood… that’s why Jesus’ statement at Luke 10:21 is so appropriate & profound: only His Father, Jehovah/Yahweh, reveals it accurately...

    Suffering and evil

    Followers of Jesus should be lovers, not haters. In fact, @ John 13:34-35, Jesus said their love would identify them, for people to observe. I think your experience has been with those who “claim they know God, but they disown Him by their works.” Titus 1:16 Christendom is full of hypocrisy...

    Evolution is the only theologically plausible answer

    Rational, you say? Is it rational to think that mindless, thoughtless forces and processes can create anything thoughtful, like the way plant life enables the success of oxygen-breathing fauna? Or create the process of photosynthesis? These were designed mechanisms, since science discovers only...

    Why do Jehovah's Witnesses think the earth will not be destroyed?

    Why are you being contentious with me? I was trying to be agreeable with your statements. By “orthodox”, do you mean mainstream? Christendom? E gads!! They’ve been killing their brothers almost since their inception 1800 yrs.ago! They have an awful reputation of hypocrisy, too. (Titus 1:16)...

    Finding a new church or worship center

    Yes. Many are like the Pharisees of Jesus' day. They publicly declare one thing, and do another. We know what Jesus referred to them as - hypocrites. The apostle Paul did as well... (Titus 1:16) They publicly declare that they know God, but they disown him by their works, because they are...

    Then you should change the teaching.

    Thats fair enough. I can agree with such readings I wholeheartedly agree! The charlatans I have seen. Disgraceful!! Hmm, I suppose I can’t disagree with you there Thank you, cousin. Hope you are doing well Much of my “family” are Church of God Christians. Indeed they exemplify the teachings...

    Then you should change the teaching.

    Good questions. i believe the Bible is from God our Creator, so I claim that it’s words are truth. So when I read where Jesus refers to the Devil as “the prince of the world” (John 12:31); 1 John5:19 says the “whole world is lying in the power of the Wicked One”; & Revelation 12:9 states the...

    The third side of the abortion debate. The 'fetuses' that can now speak.

    God doesn't even need to "control the world" in order to enact some of the things I am talking about here, and I believe you know this. Yet you decided to frame it as "God controlling the world" - in order to make that sound negative, like something we wouldn't want God doing, right? Sort of...

    The third side of the abortion debate. The 'fetuses' that can now speak.

    Is that what you were taught, that God controls this world? He is powerful enough. But then, His Word states “the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked One.” I didn’t make that up; the Bible says it. (1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and that the whole world is under the power...

    Jehovah's Witness=Unbiblical Religion!

    Not at all! A chair can have four legs, and need all four to be complete. A man is incomplete without the Scriptures. That doesn't mean Scripture is the final authority on anything. Jesus said, " unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the son of man, you have no life in you" At...

    Jehovah's Witness=Unbiblical Religion!

    Actually, it does...2 Timothy 3:16-17...”All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, so that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.” If one’s understanding...

    Twelve year old commits suicide -- because he was taunted for being gay.

    That news is awful! Christendom has been ignoring Christ since it’s establishment though: not just killing assumed “enemies”, but even killing their own brothers! (Titus 1:16 & 1 John 3:10-15 are applicable.) As you said, people ‘claiming’ to be followers of Christ. I’d like to know what those...

    Signs of hypocrisy.

    Reminds me of Paul’s words to Titus: Titus 1:16

    Where Did This Belief Come From?

    Jesus is called YHWH and the Spirit is called YHWH in the Bible. It's true we all sin and church leaders have led in the wrong direction but that is not enough to say the whole church is apostate and must be left because Jesus said that the weeds would be in the church till the angels took...

    Where Did This Belief Come From?

    I see your point...and my statement was somewhat of a non-sequitur, I guess. How about 1 Corinthians 1:10, where Paul said for all Christians to “speak in agreement,” and have “unity of mind”? For “agreement“ and “unity” to be manifest, it would have all come from one source, I.e., God’s Word...
