Quote If you read the entire verse however you will see that it is comparing Idols (which are made by hand) to God. While a Christmas tree is an Idol to some, I do not believe that was the intent of the writing when it was written. It was stating that the heathen cut a peice of wood, fashion it and cover it with silver and gold, But it just sits…[Read more]

So, Casey, we can discuss adam and eve and God or we can discuss killing other people for governments. Please pick only one.

“IN THIS decisive hour we admonish our Catholic soldiers to do their duty in obedience to the Fuehrer .”—The Catholic bishops of Germany, as quoted in The New York Times, September 25, 1939.Jehovah's Witnesses decided to go a different way. If the Catholics held the same position, imagine how different that time would have been.

ok, I guess my post was so long that the end parts of it were cut off. I didn't actually know there was a limit.

Quote I will wait for your defense on how political and armed forces are sinful and God's people and Jesus' followers do not participate in or join.Hi Casey. Sorry that I don't have time to consider the rest of your post today. As far as war and neutrality and killing other people in other countries who may or may not be your spiritual brothers,…[Read more]

Quote Jesus is the beginning of creation because all creation came through the monogenes firstborn SonBut that's not what the scipture says, is it? It doesn't say he's the best of creation. It says he's the “beginning of the creation of God.”And nor does scripture say that there are archangels, as in plural, although you state that this “is a…[Read more]

Quote All the letters to the churches may have been addressed to the “saints” in charge, or did you ever think of that.Out of all the saved people who are the elect? Who are the people of the saints? Are the 144k over the saints or are they the saints?I'm not mocking anyone you said you are a saint so you should have the title correct? But I…[Read more]

Hi Nick. You write:Quote Hi david,Why should the millenial kingdom only be populated by the sons of God? What of the natural men who survive the tribulation? Only the armies surrounding Jerusalem are destroyed at the return of the King and the nations surely will have a remnant.Only the armies surrounding Jerusalem?DANIEL 2:44““And in the day…[Read more]

Ask for the latest tape on the holocaust. There were two made I believe. Ask your friend for the latest video. There, you will see many heads of departments of research on the holocaust, Historians, etc. They will back up what I say. I should mention again that these are the most reputable sources on the subject on the planet from all over…[Read more]

Quote You have no idea how many Christians who were not JW that stood up against Nazism and Hitler’s rhetoric. Go Washington. There's a Holocaust memorial museum there. To the best of my knowledge, there's never been a section there on Catholics, etc.Most of the museum is on the Jews of course. Other little groups had there sections. The J…[Read more]

Quote You make the correlation incorrectly in your comparison with the golden calf.My point with the calf was that you can't simply stick a new name, a godly name on a pagan thing and make it ok. And I was right in that point.Quote You seem to not get that on Christmas there are no trees being worshipped, no presents being worshipped and most…[Read more]

Quote Everyone can't be kings and priests. A king has to have subjects–KenrchYes, kings have subjects. I've asked many who those subjects would be. I've gotten only one answer and I didn't really understand it.People seem unable to answer that. They tend to either believe that everyone will be a king and a judge and a priest (with no one to…[Read more]

Quote I'm not saying you or anyone else is not a saint but according to scripture I only know I'm not of the elect. –Kenrch.Hi Kenrch. I haven't been giving proper time to all the threads. I'm wondering if you could explain simply why you feel this, and why you believe (if I'm correct) that there are the holy ones as a separate class of…[Read more]

Jehovah is the Source of even the stars, our sun being just a medium-sized star. Would you think of trying to have a close physical encounter with the sun? Here's some scriptures that might relate:“This is he that came to be among the congregation in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai.” (Ac 7:38)ACTS 7:53“YOU who recei…[Read more]

While some Catholics did reject Nazism, Paul Johnson’s History of Christianity describes the norm: “Both churches, in the main, gave massive support to the regime. . . . Of 17,000 Evangelical pastors, there were never more than fifty serving long terms at any one time. Of the Catholics, one bishop was expelled from his diocese, and another got…[Read more]

For some 50 years, historians have been providing testimony regarding the integrity of the German witnesses of Jehovah during the Nazi regime. The book Mothers in the Fatherland, by historian Claudia Koonz, published in 1986, has this to say: “The overwhelming majority of all Germans from non-Nazi backgrounds found ways of existing under a r…[Read more]

Recently, a few pages back, I quoted from several references that JW’s were put in concentration camps and the our form of worship was banned in Germany during that war. I had stated that JW’s were the only group that could have left if they simply signed a sheet of paper renouncing their faith.It had been suggested that there were other gro…[Read more]

Quote You made a very inappropriate correlation to Hitler's glove;You're right. It may have seemed like a contradiction when I explained that the candles in the cake aren't improper but just candles. And I realized that later. The point I was trying to get across was that some things are tainted. But I believe that the meat sold in the meat…[Read more]

If you look a Bible like the American Standard Version, it says:“Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah…”But, to your question:Jehovah says: “Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me.” Does this mean that, because Jesus Christ is prophetically called “Mighty God” at Isaiah 9:6, Jesus must be Jehovah? The context answers,…[Read more]

Hi Casey.Quote “Well my son, I would let you in, I mean you did believe in my Son, you did repent and were baptized, I did save you by My Spirit, you did follow Jesus and His teachings…but you celebrated one too many birthdays so I can't let you in…” I believe that to “repent” means to feel regret,for what one has done or omitted to do or to…[Read more]
