2 Cor. 11:14, 15: “Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light. It is therefore nothing great if his ministers also keep transforming themselves into ministers of righteousness.” (Here we are cautioned that not everything that originates with Satan may appear hideous. One of his chief methods of deceiving mankind has been fal…[Read more]

Quote Hi david,You boast of the fact that others find you way bizarre and drenched in human wisdom and foolish logicas if being shown these things was evidence it was the path of truth?

Quote So your stance regarding WWII and letting Hitler take over rather than nations defending themselves against him is just your opinion and I would be careful about judging such things.I don't remeber ever saying “let hitler take over.”What I actually did say was “What does a Christian have to do with the world or it's wars”?Quote If God gave…[Read more]

T8, your other post:Quote OK, so if Israel is attacked by Moslem forces, then the Israelites should let them take over? Have I deduced correctly from your words.Apparently not. I think you missed the “that scenerio would never happen” part. Israel would never do that. Fleshly Israel is no longer God’s people. They fight with bullets now, not m…[Read more]

Quote David if you could only see how ridiculous it is when these groups all claim to be the right one. Even logically speaking the stats are against each one. Perhaps 50 thousand to one that they are the right one. OK, I can see you are having trouble with this idea. Jesus came and showed us the way. Satan came and showed us thousands of…[Read more]

Continuing:Quote david if you were not so brainwashed you would see clearly that the JWs could not possibly be the true Body of Christ.

Continuing:Quote Or what about the Armstrong WWC. Their magazines may have even out distributed the Watchtower ones.Again, you’re wrong. I don’t even feel like checking this one, as I’m sure you haven’t either, again, but sources have listed “The Watchtower Announcing Jehovah’s Kingdom” as the “most widely distributed religious journal on the…[Read more]

Quote “So like I said, your faith is based on the premise that the JWs are the true Church because they actively witness from door to door.So maybe vacuum cleaner sales men are the true Church based on that?”No, but the true faith would have to be preaching the good news in all the nations. The scripture doesn’t say: “And vacuum cleaner salemen…[Read more]

“everlasting destruction.” This can only mean you are destroyed without hope of life ever ever ever again.It cannot mean you are in a steady state of destruction for eternity, for that is a paradox. If one is constantly being destroyed, but never ever is actually destroyed, then you are not being destroyed.For the word destroyed means you…[Read more]

Quote I think RW's opinion on war is that it is an inevitable situation that man will always find himself in because of his nature.
