Quote (SEEKING @ Feb. 23 2009,23:29)Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 23 2009,02:16)Hi david, You say”Following his resurrection, Jesus did not always appear in the same body of flesh ” I believe this is JW dogma but why do they teach it as it is not written?Mar 16:12  After these things he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking…[Read more]

Regarding the silent lambs site that apostates like to promote, here is what JW's have said:“For the sake of the victims in these cases, we are pleased that a settlement has been reached. Our hearts go out to all those who suffer as a result of child abuse. Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide are united in their abhorrence of this sin and cri…[Read more]

Someone named Danny Haszard wrote the following below. I find his comments very interesting as it helps to understand why the hate campaign against JW’s is so great. Please read this as it may help to understand the overwhelming number of anti-JW propaganda that exists.http://www.topix.com/forum/music/classical/TKIEJNGJDUTB9MRUU“Do not d…[Read more]

Quote Mandy..I strongly advise you to watch the videos that I post up in these threads…as a former JW I can attest that they are 1000% accurateIt is my experience that people who don't agree with an organizations stance on sexual misconduct (such as Dirty doesn't) they tend to lash out against that organization. Their love of whatever compels…[Read more]

I didn't watch the clip, (and I'm not sure what you mean exactly by “YHWH truth” but I've seen enough clips to know that it does not have a neutral stance, and almost certainly has a grand bias against JW.Here is what I believe. I believe that Jesus said that in the last days, his followers whom he commanded to preach the good news in all the…[Read more]

Quote To my mind there is not muchto talk about, but there is muchto look forward too because our hope isalive too what will happen in the future.–Lineon.This is similar to the almost universal response we get when we ask people in the minisistry about the kingdom.  They all expect to be there but have no idea what it is.  It's the same with h…[Read more]

A long time ago, I started a thread on “encouragement.” I wonder what happened to it.

We must not confuse fleshly Israel with the “Israel of God” spiritual Israel.The Bible definitley says that the kingdom would be taken from that nation (fleshly Israel) and be given to a nation producing it's fruits.Fleshly Irael did not live up to their end of the agreement (covenant.)Hence, a new covenant, with spiritual Israel.

Quote The following text seems to be talking of someone specific.2 Thessalonians 21 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by some prophecy, report or letter supposed to have come from us, saying that the day of the Lord has already come. 3…[Read more]

Quote I was in a war the day I received salvation and even before that.Put on the whole armour of God.t8, I think the Bible means “spritual” armor and spiritual warefare. I suggest you put down the bullets and slowly back away…

Quote Jesus was flesh after his resurrection.He said so.Lk2439Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.Angels often appear as men.–nickHumans cannot see spirits, so the disciples evidently thought they were seeing an apparition or a vision. (Compare Mark 6:49,…[Read more]

Quote Angels often appear as men. . . .But they are spirits.–Nick.Could not the resurrected Jesus, as a spirit do what angels have done before?Yes.

Quote It may be that Jesus like some angels had the ability to shape shift after his resurrection and that could be how he entered the locked room.  –kerwin”It may be that Jesus….had the ability to shape shift…”Isn't that exactly what this scripture says?MARK 16:12 KING JAMES“After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they wa…[Read more]

Quote He appeared to Paul as a “great light” that blinded Him. This form is His ever abiding form. I'm not saying that Jesus exists as pure light (but maybe). In the least we must say that His imperishable body emanates light. This was not true of the body of His post resurrection appearances.–thinkerThe Bibles I am looking at all seem to say:”he…[Read more]

Quote Could we just admit we don't know how he did it. Perhaps hepicked the locks or just caused them to open. Perhaps he altered his body. We don't know, from scripture or otherwise,do we!–seeking.Yes, perhaps he “altered his body.”MARK 16:12“Moreover, after these things he appeared in another form to two of them walking along, as they were g…[Read more]

Quote His post resurrection body still had the holes in it which indicates that it still had the remnants of death in it. Therefore, it was perishable. Jesus was changed when He went up to heaven. –the thinker.If a spirit can materialize a body, can it materialize a body with holes in the wrists?I think the point of Jesus appearing in different…[Read more]

Quote Jesus body didn't have blood as that was poured out for the sins of men.–t8Quote Interesting thought that.Yet he ate with them on at least two occasions.–Nick.What if….Jesus actually did sacrifice his body and was raised a spirit, who then went to heaven, as a spirit.Could a spirit not use different bodies and appear in locked rooms?…[Read more]

Quote Any time Nick intervenes in a thread you know where it is headed –  off subject and into the things you describe.  That's Nick.  Near as I can tell always has been!–seeking.https://www.heavennet.net/cgi-bin….t=2232;So, it's not just me.  I didn't think so. Nick, why do you think people perceive you this way? Could there be any truth to…[Read more]

Quote Jesus gave commandments.You must be born againThis wasn't so much a command as a statement of fact. (It's not rendered in the imperative mood or the form of a command.)Some Bibles translate this such as: “It is necessary for you to be born from above.” (Modern Young's Literal translation; John 3:7)Example: And outsider says to a…[Read more]

Why? The sabbath didn't exist before the law covenant. It was clearly part of the law. If the law was given to Israel, for Israel, an agreement between Israel and God, that was broken and found fault with, so abolished, and done away with, and nailed to the stake, whereby a new covenant was created, then the sabbath being a part of the the law,…[Read more]
