Quote Thank you David. What about a man who murders an abortion doctor? The man is a christian and murders believing he is saving innocent lives by killing this doctor. Is this justified?I cannot see murder, reguardless whether if it is to defend our nation or not, if you have Jesus in your heart.H, here is a thread that is related.

That is a very good question H. A very good question. It seems you are virtually the only one who agrees with me on this issue. Or at least, the only one who is willing to admit that they agree with me.I'm going to go find the related thread.

HI t8.I was wondering how hard it would be to make it so that instead of having to leaf through pages, you could have a box where we just type in a page number. I know this really only becomes an issue in the one large trinity thread, and probably isn't really an issue for most people. But as the threads grow, it may become more of an issue. If…[Read more]

Quote When God the Father asks you why you did not refer to his God as God, you might start thinking of excuses now.In this you are wrong.While there are a few instances where we are told that the Father is the God of Jesus, we are never told in scripture that Jesus is Jehovah's God.H, I guess you can just ignore all that stuff I said about your…[Read more]

Quote The early church killed many in the name of religion. I have always thought of the early “church” as the first couple centuries. They did not kill in the name of religion, but as you said, rather, they were the ones being fed to the lions, and sometimes, that was even because of their refusal to take up arms or become a soldier.H, I have…[Read more]

Does anyone else think that eventually the governments of the world will turn on religion?

H, I really don't know what Jason has said on the word proskyneo. But I have done quite a bit of research on it and you can find this in the “worship” thread.I do know that the KJV mistranslates proskyneo sometimes. H, if someone is spitting on Jesus and slapping him and we find the word “proskyneo” in reference to what they are also doing to…[Read more]

Hey Isaiah, I finally found that question you asked me about. I knew you asked me a question, but didn't know where it was.Quote Speaking of versions, which is the more accurate IYHO – the KJV or the NWT? Let me quote Jason BeDuhn. (He is a Greek scholar and Associate Professor of Religious Studies Department of Humanities, Arts, and Religion…[Read more]

Hello MercyQuote If you are right that the JW is the church of God yet a believer dies before having anything to do with the origanization then is he still saved?Does not the scripture say there will be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous?Quote Can a man stranded on a deserted island with a bible be saved? God is just and wise.…[Read more]

Quote Have you ever seen the Dead Sea Scrolls?You're right. I haven't seen the dead sea scrolls. I did see a couple documentaries on them. You know, when they first found the dead sea scrolls, one of the very first words they deciphered was not the word “GOD” or “LORD” but was God's name. It was a scripture from Isaiah, I believe. Yet, in…[Read more]

Quote Quote (david @ July 28 2006,23:38)So far I agree with 3.OK that is great david.You recognise that God has children outside of the JWs.I also take it from that, that you do not think the JWs are exclusively the Church.Wow, I didn't really expect you to say that.Sorry t8. I think you misunderstood me. I agree with the first sentence, but not…[Read more]

Quote Hi David:I don't have time to devote to this study right now but wanted to say that from a human perspective, eternal torment seems like a very far out idea… and surely, there must be an end sometime to such torment.Until you consider that since Adam, estimated 6,000 years ago, people have been suffering and dying and it gets worse with…[Read more]

Quote I personally believe that all you do for the JWs you will not receive one ounce of reward.Hey t8. What I “do” for my brothers who are fellow witnesses for Jehovah I do not do for reward. They are my brothers.Quote rather your motive for being here is to serve the JWs organisation because I guess that you believe this is the way to serve…[Read more]

How many times has semmy quoted from the Bible so far? Like, zero?”expose”? That's hillarious.Quote Well if you were so “present”, why did your email address bounce and why didn't you specifically respond to anything I wrote about the JW's?Just maybe I stopped using that email address a year ago, and it expired, and just maybe most everything…[Read more]

Hey t8. Why the change in avatars? What does your change in avatars mean?Hi Nick. From what I remember, you believe that they will never actually be destroyed, but will be in the state of being destroyed forever. In other words–never actually destroyed. “eternal destruction” for you means eternally being destroyed, and never actually facing…[Read more]

Hey t8. I'm not sure what this post is doing in the “encouragement” thread. I'm not sure this is a “more appropriate” thread. You already posted it somewhere else. And I responded, somewhere else.

Quote David, is Jesus God or the Son of God? Are all references in the OT referring to God the Father or the Son of God who was given all authority of the Godhead, thus making him God over all of creation? Or do you not believe that Jesus should be referred to as God?Hi H. I don't understand what any of this has to do with my question. Yes,…[Read more]

Quote Did you ever notice that Satan's church has their own book.The Catholics –Their CatechismThe Latter Day Saints–The book of MormonThe Jehovah Witnesses–New World Translation So, Kenrch, you're calling the NWT Bible…..Satan's book?

Recently, the question of eternal torment has been raised.Did God Almighty create a place where people would be tortured for all time because of their sins on earth?This thread looks at that question.

Moses, Joshua, etc….do you not believe they will spend eternity on earth?We are not the judge. But is their any reason these ones wouldn't be given everlasting life on earth? Don't you believe they will be on earth?This earthly promise was the hope of these ones.Then Jesus came to the earth and made a “new covenant” with certain ones for “a…[Read more]
