Just wondering what others think of Habakkuk 1:12.Most Bible's render it “we shall not die,” but some render it “you do not die.”And of course, if God doesn't die, then this has implications for the trinity belief.In copying Biblical manuscripts, early Jewish scribes, or sopherim, endeavored to be scrupulously accurate. But later these copyists…[Read more]

Unless Jesus had transgender issues in the transporting/incarnation process?The fact that the Hebrew word for “wisdom” is always in the feminine gender does not conflict with the use of wisdom to represent God’s Son. The Greek word for “love” in the expression “God is love” is also in the feminine gend…[Read more]

http://groups.google.com/group….rnum=17″3. Even a conservative calculation of the total mass of the animals and their food would have the ark exceed its buoyancy by 1/3. This ark would sink not long after it was half-filled.”Could you provide some details? Anything?

Quote So if they got the wrong date, then what are the chances that this teaching is right?–T8Silly Rabbit, tricks are for kids. You could just as easily use that logic to imply that our non-belief of the trinity is wrong. It is one of the main things we are known for. And on the date, more was expected than should have been, true. But we…[Read more]

Quote Why was Michael's name changed to Jesus when he came to earth? Why not just continue to call him Michael? I don't get it.Unlike today, back then names had meaning. Sometimes, when someone takes on a new role in God's purpose, they are given a new name.Jehovah changed the name of Abram to Abraham (“Father of a Crowd” ) and that of Sar…[Read more]

Quote That site he referenced..you are right about…instead of exposing me…he is really exposing you all to negative press for JW's..Yes, that being, the negative press you started, encourage, and endorse on that thread.

Quote Hi david,So if you are less perfect why work on his “dirtiness”?Because I'm a hopeless case?

Quote David..look again…I have been critical yes…but I have also defended the society over and over on these forums…the forum you are referncing…I let it be known that..I only want to discuss scripture and that I would not particpate in any “bashing” of the society..Maybe if you could point to somewhere on the following forum where you're…[Read more]

Quote I posted aprrox 160 other comments on this board that are in response too genuine Christian reason and conversation…the “scriptures” you want me to comment on have nothing to do with anything other than this little crusade…Here's the thing.

Quote And this is towards a fellow JW…I wonder how he truly feels about…everybody elseIt's kind of those “much given, much demanded” things. I have tremendous amounts of respect for most on here.

Quote And who are you to say “I won't be a JW much longer''…you sound as if you would like me to be DF'edNo, not at all.But, just based on your confrontational manner towards Jehovah's Witnesses (the other forums) I can't see you staying with them very long. And I can't see them allowing you to speak so negatively towards them and yet continue…[Read more]

Hey GAA.Quote if you believe in hellfire and I don't we both can't be right…I agree…what I am saying is that the absolute truth lies with GodIf only there were some way that he communicated his thoughts to us.I do get what you're saying. God knows the truth. People fight over what truth is. But I'm not of the opinion of Pilate who said to…[Read more]

Quote All the fulness of the Godhead dwelt in Jesus bodily, not Elijah. By the way, I looked up the word Godhead, which means deity.On whether that word that some Bible's translate Godhead, is referring to personality or quality, we can discuss if you like. But notice how Colossians 1:19 compares to Colossians 2:9, which you mention.COLOSSIANS…[Read more]

Quote Hi DK,Obviously there are moral rules about names too!No rules about such things Nick. But as you know, or at least, should know, there are many principles about what is and what isn't the course of wisdom, and about “things which are not becoming.”–Eph 5:3,4

Quote I stand by my statements on converting..Jesus did say, “go therefore and makes disciples”…but the fact of the matter is WE CAN NOT CONVERT ANYONE…all we can do is declare the things God has shown us and teach the ones who are interested in those things….You are right in that we do not convert people. According to the dictionary, they…[Read more]
