Quote Can you in all honesty say to me david that you are not here to recruit people for the JWs?I'll say this for the 8th time. I was researching the trinity doctrine and was shocked greatly to find that there are people on the planet other than JW's who do not believe in the trinity. You argue against the trinity just as any Jehovah's Witness…[Read more]

Quote Not at all. There are more that are saved in Rev 7:9Could it be that the great crowd mentioned there are those who inherit the earth, while the 144000 are those who inherit the heavenly kingdom to rule as kings, priests and judges over those who inherit the earth.A kingdom is a government and God has chosen to have some humans rule in this…[Read more]

Quote We do not preach any denominations here so your idea lacks substance.Does it? Does it?Let's look at your words, with “JW” taken out and your name put it:”I guess also uses the obvious weakness of the trinity theory and other falsehoods taught in the traditional churches to break down trust in other denominations so they can build faith on…[Read more]

Quote What was he trying to tell or show us by healing a few people. Hi P.I think his healing went along with his more important work of preaching the good news of the kingdom. The healing he did showed on a small scale what God's kingdom will bring to mankind. In the Gospel accounts, Jesus was frequently addressed as “Teacher” but never as “He…[Read more]

Quote What I have found in my walk with the Lord, is that sometimes he indeed uses doctors to accomplish the healing, but what I do when I am sick, is to call the elders of the chruch and ask for their prayer as the word of God instructs us in James 5:14-15, and so, my faith is in God for the healing and not in the doctor even if the doctor is…[Read more]

Quote While it is true that the magicians seemly duplicated many of the miracles that were done by God through Moses. These were merely delusions, and not real miracles at all. Yes I know. Interestingly, there are magicians or fakers in some parts of that world that happen to know that if you hold the head of certain kinds of snakes back, the…[Read more]

Quote Hi david,You baldly state”Most basic, they helped to establish or confirm the fact that a man was receiving power and support from God. (Ex 4:1-9)Jesus’ miracles helped observers to identify him as that one. (De 18:18; Joh 6:14)When Christianity was young, miracles worked in conjunction with the message to help individuals to see that God w…[Read more]

Sorry, Phoenix. I had to go. I didn't get a chance to read any more than the first sentence of your post before. continuing on, you say:Quote Not a lot of people are going to believe that this person is a miracle unless they see these things with their own eyes and experience it.True, it's easier to be deceived in person. There is no “slow…[Read more]

Quote Hi david,You always seem to start topics that lead around to you being able to preach JW doctrines.I don't remember doing that. But if you remember the last couple weeks, I have been talking about preaching and you mentioned a few times that there should be miracles. It was YOU who prompted me to start this thread. Plus, although we have…[Read more]

Quote I honestly think that any “miracle worker” in the world today is going to seem a cheat to you.Name one that isn't. And I'll expose them. I have spent a lifetime studying how people deceive others. The truth is, no one can ever prove under test conditions that they are performing miracles. It is true that some, who are deceiving others…[Read more]

Quote I guess also the JWs use the obvious weakness of the trinity theory and other falsehoods taught in the traditional churches to break down trust in other denominations so they can build faith on their doctrines.It's my experience that people see in others what is true of themselves. A thief sees others as theives. A person that loves to…[Read more]

Were supernatural signs, or miracles, always necessary to identify those who were chosen and led by God in Bible times?No. Miraculous works were not a common occurrence throughout Bible history.

Sai Baba seems to be a cheat, or a magician. He can't do miracles. He uses sleight of hand and pychological principles used by magicians to deceive.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uknW6mnUuOsIf he was really performing miracles, he wouldn't have to palm the things that are supposed to be appearing out of no where.Ok, he's not even a very good…[Read more]

I guess I will:Matt. 24:24: “False Christs and false prophets will arise and will give great signs and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones.”Matt. 7:15-23: “Be on the watch for the false prophets . . .

T8There are 4 “universal salvation” threads that someone started all at the same time. They are all exactly the same. If you could perhaps delete 3 of them. They're in the Biblical doctrine section.
