Saul died for being unfaithful to Jehovah, partly because he did this disgusting thing of consulting a spirit medium. (1 chron 10:13,14)Jehovah had already cut off help to Saul. So this message from whoever or whatever was certainly not from Jehovah. (Plus, the message was inaccurate. So, it wasn't from God.)This spirit medium, or witch, this…[Read more]

“Sorry David, your argument still holds no water.”Well, H. What has changed? I'm still right, and you still haven't considered what I said. Sorry H, but your belief contradicts scripture and creates impossible troubling questions. Sorry H, but you are wrong. Either that, or the Bible is wrong. I choose to believe that it is you who are wrong…[Read more]

But perhaps you missed what I said in my last post. Yes scripture says “samuel.”But scripture also says that God has no faith in his servants. They are compared to moths, easily crushed, quickly forgotten. Please READ my last post.dave

You ARE a fast reader.

First, Heiscoming, your silence with regard to my questions speaks for itself.To Nick and Heiscoming:Are either of you worth more than a moth, in God's sight? Does God value you more highly than a moth? Simple question. These are your choices: “yes,” or “no.”What do you think?I ask you two this because Nick says things like:Quote Hi RR,1 Sam…[Read more]

Quote You quote.GENESIS 3:19“In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.””But according toGen 2.7 manwas formed from the dust of the ground,before being made a living being by the breath of God.Gen 2.7″ 7Then the LORD God formed man of (A…[Read more]

Quote David,Enjoyed your post about the Witch of Endor and the soul.Nick, I believe David quoted Psalms 18.31 not 18.1. To use your own words – 'You must be accurate'.Ramblinrose, does this mean that you agree that the witch of endor was not communicating with Samuel himself?

Quote JW's carry a lot of unscriptural teaching baggage. And I'm sure Nick would include in this, JW's believing that it was not actually Samuel's departed soul that the spirit medium was speaking to. Please go back a page to see some of what Nick calls “unscriptural teachings baggage,” and note the “scriptures” that these unscriptural teachings…[Read more]

H, if you prefer, you could read it in the “soul” thread, as in that thread, it has parts underlined and in bold and italics, to make certain things stand out. It is an easier read. I hope that helps.david.

Quote The bible says Samuel did appear to Saul and he did. Period. Case closed. To say it was not him is to not believe the Word of God.Wait H. I thought you wanted to discuss this. If it is truly “case closed,” then you shouldn't have a problem with proving that what I say is wrong. Did you actually read my post. What of the questions I…[Read more]

I certainly don't take a political stance. JW's are completely neutral when it comes to the wars of the world. We are often thrown in jail or persecuted because we refuse to kill others, or support wars. So I do not take a political stance, in that I am not for any country. I am for God's kingdom.As far as religion, what is wrong with having…[Read more]

t8 has also mentioned warfare of Catholics and Heiscoming has also mentioned the bloodshed they are guilty of.Clearly, I am not alone in understanding that a big part of being a Christian means you don't slaughter your fellow believer. I would have thought that would have been quite plain.

Nick, are your ideas on what demons are based on the book of Enoch?

Hi wind slasherYou said:Quote In st.John 10:30 says that “Me and the father are one”. here Jesuschrist clearly states that the father and him are one, they are not separate nor different from each other.I don't believe being one cannot be understood this way, based on scripture.Yes,John 10 says that Jesus and his father are one.But moving on to…[Read more]

I grew up a Catholic, or at least, I was born into a Catholic family. I was baptized by having water sprinkled on my head. It wasn't my choice. And this method of baptizing people as infants by sprinkling water isn't biblical at all.So, I grew up with Catholics. My friends were Catholics. Most everyone my parents knew were Catholics. It was…[Read more]

Who else here was born into a Catholic family? Raise your hand.

H, perhaps you missed my next post. You only quote from my immediate response to your post, but may have failed to notice the much longer post where I too quoted 1 sam 28:4-20 in full. You also quoted this from the KJV, as though I didn't know it was there.There are several questions and problems you left unanswered H.You're only line of…[Read more]

Quote David,Enjoyed your post about the Witch of Endor and the soul.Thanks Ramblinrose.

Quote Dear David, shall we do the doctrine dance. This is your chance to prove your religion? I have to warn you thou, I am starting out with 1 Samuel 28. This debate will be if the soul ceases to exist as proclaimed by the Jehovah witnesses or if when a man dies, his soul goes to heaven or hell as according to God's Holy Word.Now, David, I don't…[Read more]

t8, much of what you say is wrong. Much of it sounds nice. But still wrong.Quote Why do you have to do things in the name of the Jehovah Witnesses, Catholics, or whatever your so-called church body happens to be called. Wake up. How many bodies are there? There is only one body of true believers. The thing is t8, you are one body unto yourself.…[Read more]
