Welcome, Karen.I feel you would be better off teaching your grandson.Here is a good scripture to show him from the KJV:”That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.” (Psalm 83:18, KJV)david

I should state that the following was in responce to Heiscoming's statemtents: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…[Read more]

1 Samuel 28:4-20 (King James Version)4And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa.5And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.6And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not,…[Read more]

Guys. You may be going about this all wrong. As Rejoycesing said in her post:”Also the fact that so many speak so negatively about the JWs is a reason to believe that they may be right. I have had people vehemently oppose them when I mentioned my study of the JWs and usually what they believe about them is wrong.”Note that she also said: “there…[Read more]

Why did Saul die?Why would a loving Father forbid us from speaking to our loved ones, if that truly were possible? Why does the Bible expressly forbid enquiring of spirit mediums?I will meet you in the “soul” thread.Quote The bible says it was the soul of Samuel and Saul knew it to be Samuel. The KJV doesn't say it was the “soul” of Samuel. I…[Read more]

Quote Does the blood of Abel still cry out from the ground on which it is poured out?Hi Nick. So you think this is literal and people heard and still can apparently hear Abel's blood crying out from the ground?HEBREWS 12:24“and Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and the blood of sprinkling, which speaks in a better way than Abel’s .”Is Jesus…[Read more]

Quote Anyone who drinks poison or intentionally gets bitten by a snake to test their faith is a fool. Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. What it says in Mark is if things like this happen to you, as it did to Paul when shipwrecked on an island with convicts, that our faith will keep us safe.Dear David, shall we do the doctrine dance. This is…[Read more]

Quote We Catholics did.So when it comes to bloodshed and hatred and war and death, those Catholics that did those things bear the blame. It has nothing to do with you.But “We Catholics did” put the Bible together.Interesting.

Well add it to the list.

Hi Isaiah, Today, the word “prevent” means to “keep from happening.”It used to mean to “go before” or to “precede.”1 THESSALONIANS 4:15KJV“For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not PREVENT them which are asleep.”NWT“For this is what we tell YOU by Jehovah’s word, th…[Read more]

Quote 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the…[Read more]

As seekingtruth said of me on Aug 18, in the other JW thread,”David,I assume you missed my question as your usually very good at responding.”H, I'm not sure what your question is. I have to go now. As I stated in my previous post, we used the KJV for half a century. We still use it. I own one. We quote from it in our publications.I have to…[Read more]

I would love to say more, and find H's question, but I'm going to go follow this scriptural command:HEBREWS 10:24-25“And let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as YOU behold the day drawing n…[Read more]

Hi H, which question were you referring to? I can't find it.david

Sorry Rejoycesing, I missed this question:Quote Why do they have to have their own bible translation? I checked every thing from my NKJV bible and original translations to confirm scripture references in the study topics that I found on their site. I found no conflicts in what their bible translation said but this still concerns me.For…[Read more]

Rejoycesing, when you speak with those who come to discuss the Bible with you, do not let them simply say: “the soul is immortal” or the “soul is not immortal” as some like to do. Obviously, they won't do this. They'll show you what the Bible says about the soul.

I used to discuss the Bible with a Catholic lady who told me that “Mary” was not something she was willing to discuss. This lady was zealous to the extreme, always off to some church picnic or some other church affair, and to my suprise had files and folders on different Bible topics. It utterly shocked me. But Mary, we could not discuss. Mary…[Read more]

Also, Rejoycesing, on this statement:Quote I understand why most people on this site, if that is so, believe as I do that God has His people everywhere. Jehovah calls us to (2 Cor. 6:15-18) come out of her.. So this would appear to mean that His people is among them. Jehovah's Witnesses do not appear to recognize this. So all of God's people…[Read more]

Hi Rejoycesing,You stated:Quote Also the fact that so many speak so negatively about the JWs is a reason to believe that they may be right. I have had people vehemently oppose them when I mentioned my study of the JWs and usually what they believe about them is wrong.Then Nick, who perhaps didn't read through what you said, stated:Quote “you will…[Read more]
