First of all, I would like to ask . . . why the Sabbath was moved Although Christ was resurrected on the first day of the week (now called Sunday), the Bible contains no instruction to set aside that day of the week as sacred.“The retention of the old Pagan name of ‘Dies Solis,’ or ‘Sunday,’ for the weekly Christian festival, is, in great mea…[Read more]

“First of all, I would like to ask . . . why some christians no longer hold the Sabbath anymore.”Ex. 31:16, 17:“The sons of Israel must keep the sabbath, so as to carry out the sabbath during their generations. It is a covenant to time indefinite . Between me and the sons of Israel it is a sign to time indefinite.” Notice that sabbath obs…[Read more]

T8, I've been looking through this site. There are many threads that overlap or are virtually the same. There are at least 10 threads on the Bible and Bible translations, for example. I was wondering if these could be grouped into one section. I think the Bible in itself is an important enough subject to have it's own section, like the…[Read more]

I also think this is connected to the “Jehovah–in the NT” thread.

This conversation didn't go very far, and I think it was a good question.

You are right. He that boasts, let him boast in Jehovah. But when a Christian tells a buddhist that being a follower of Christ is a good thing (which is true) is that boasting?Apparently, you can't actually argue with what I said, so you try to redirect the conversation. A fallacy.

In answer to the original question asked, here are some thoughts:maintain neutrality in political conflicts.–Isaiah 2:4produce good fruitage by doing God’s will.–Matthew 7:13-23display true love among themselves.–John 13:35; 1 John 4:20speak everywhere in unison.–Micah 2:12do not imitate the wrong attitudes and conduct of the world around th…[Read more]

Quote What religion practices that they have love among themselves. Jesus said this would be an identifying principle for his true followers. But most religions fight wars and don't practice unselfish love. Which faith teaches and practices this qaulitey that seperates followers from hypocritesThis is the original question in this thread.It's very…[Read more]

Just stating a very odd truth.

Peace

Didn't know where to put this:If you know God,many would say,You would not celebrateValentine’s Day.For it originatedwith the myth Cupid,An ancient false godof some who were stupid.So this rhyme reflects,in a poetic way,Why many don't celebrateValentine’s Day.

I guess my question would be better stated here than in the Mormon thread:Quote I need information on a church that does not beleive in trinity where I can go and worship God. I live in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. please give me names or addresses of churches where I can go. Thank you, may God bless.Brother in Christ.Which religions that claim to…[Read more]

It turns out I'm 100% Jehovah's Witness.Oddly, and impossibly mathematically speaking, I also seem to be 100% Mormon and 87% Orthodox Judaism.

I noticed David defending himself on the JW's view of the Kingdom of Heaven. I am not a JW and do not agree with them on some of their doctrines I am aware of.However, this is one area where I think they are one of the few organizations teaching the truth.And, we are the only organizition who would seem to be fulfilling this scripture, in regard…[Read more]

Bulliten board?big bang?black berry?big brother?bugs bunny?

I once asked for list of groups, organized groups that dis believe the trinity belief. I'm certain that mormonism was listed among them.But I don't think it can be. While they don't believe in the Catholic trinity, they seem to believe in a trinity.”From Smith's time to the present day The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has taught…[Read more]

I quote the following not because I want to get into any kind of discussion, but because Valentine's day has just passed:The World Book Encyclopedia informs us: “Valentine’s Day comes on the feast day of two different Christian martyrs named Valentine. But the customs connected with the day . . . probably come from an ancient Roman festival cal…[Read more]

First, I am sorry that you are in this position.Quote Sadly, my entire life he's been hooked on something. Anyway, if adultery is not involved (though I have my speculations…), does anyone think it's right? “I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication, AND MARRIES ANOTHER commits adultery.” (Matthew 19:…[Read more]

T8, While on the subject, I'd like to put this down:”How is the work of Jehovah’s Witnesses financed?By voluntary contributions, as was true with the early Christians. (2 Cor. 8:12; 9:7) No collections are ever taken at their meetings; they do not beg for money from the public. Any donations from interested persons are used to further the w…[Read more]

T8, while you seem to be on this forum at present, I was wondering if you believ that JW's tithe.Because we don't. In any way. In the least.Quitargueingoverstupidstuff (Matthew) mentioned that while he was a Witness, he never contributed at all, in a monetary way. That is how it is. There is NO FORCED GIVING in any way, to any degree, at all.I…[Read more]
