It is the difference between hating the person and hating the sin.

Weed are false doctrines. It seems everyone is harboring some false doctrine. If you who harbor a false doctrine declare that weeds are people who will be thrown into the fire, guess where you're going?

Yep. They are. Gnostic Arians to the core. You combine both Church defined heresies into one religion.

LOL......What about the heresies of your own church masquerading as Christ's teachings? Amazing what you have to ignore to remain part of that institution and to support its teachings.

We all accept our own truth for our own reasons. God knows what they are.

Have a nice day.

And this is the view of the Catholic Church is it

Nah. Even the Coptic Pope in Egypt, who occupies the See of St Mark the Apostle, states that JW's are Gnostic Arians. Now go and find all of the bad things that the Orthodox Coptic Church has done and report back to us.

They're only heresies according to JW's, which hold no weight for Christians. Jesus approved of the apostolic/talmidic teaching system used by the Church. You don't have it. And never will. You are the fathers Jesus spoke about.

I don't judge where people go nor do I care. They choose.

BTW. How about Purgatory? God's time-out for his disobedient children?

Weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire. Weeds are people.

I think you mean your interpretation of what is written. Acts of the Apostles 17:11 Doctrine is an interpretation.

Read down a little further. I don't get to preach. Only the Apostles and their successors. That's the system Jesus used. Notice they don't follow the teachings of Jesus.

The Father hands off to the Son. The Son hands off to the Apostles. The Apostles hand off to their successors. That's the system.

42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

For JW's this is not a doctrine but a belief. Since the Bible only infers it, we hold that it seems to be true, but we will not stake our lives on it, nor would it matter in the big scheme of things if Jesus proved not to be Michael. Nothing changes in our belief system one way or the other. We have ascertained from scripture that various scriptures seem to point to it.

The only doctrine that stands in the way of people accepting that Jesus is also Michael, is the trinity and it is not biblical.

Did she really just say that? Will it really matter in the big scheme of things if we believe the Bible infers the trinity? Christendom ascertains that various scriptures point to it.
