So, yes, then?

Quote There is such a thing as truth and it is found in the bible and it includes the information that there is an adversaryand an archangel called Michaeland a Messiah called Jesus Christ. Ya, I agree. There is someone who is called Satanand the Deviland there's someone who is called Michael “the” archangeland Christ Jesus.But does your comment…[Read more]

Quote Thank you, you proved my point. I'm talking defending the defenseless but you group it under all warfare. I have stated in these posts that I could not participate in a war which was aggressive and if it was a war defending the defenseless, I would still only want to help in non-combative ways. So then, you wouldn't go to war? Is that what…[Read more]

Hey Nick.How is your health?Quote Amen t8Hi david,Your repeated attempts at planting division in the body of Christ continues to be ineffective and also are not a good reflection on your denomination.C'mon david!

Quote Neither myself or Nick is the truth. Jesus is.Ok, t8, this is all I've read so far, but are you saying we'd be better off reading the Bible than discussing it with you?Of course neither of you is the truth. But do you represent the truth?Quote We as servants can only humble ourselves and realise that we can only know truth as it is…[Read more]

Quote Therefore I'm in the wrong because I believe something that someone else believed first?Yes, absolutely sammo. This seems to be their reasoning. And since they all have very distinctive beliefs that don't match up with anyone else, they will never be guilty of believing just as someone else believed. Quote So saying that your beliefs are…[Read more]

I thought this topic was on whether or not Christians should go to war and kill.I know no one here is saying that they “want” to go to war. Cubes has said that several times, as have you. That is not the question. The question is, will you? Is it right to, for a follower of Christ, to kill people for human governments? No one wants to go to…[Read more]

Just out of curiousity, what are these “defenceless” countries we keep referring to? Canada? New Zealand? Iraq? Vatican City? Iraq has had their major cities captured. Are they defenceless enough yet for you to defend them? There have been civilian causulties. So, you'll go to Iraq and find a machine gun and defend Iraq? They do seem…[Read more]

Cubes, I will comment on the rest of your posts later. I have to be somewhere now.david

Quote If you want to do away with “it is written…” and replace it with “early christians” or whatever, that would be your prerogative, but I do not advise it. My experience as a christian has taught me that Jesus does quote from the OT scriptures and did often point to them to explain his position.No, nothing of the sort. I began using…[Read more]

Quote All joking aside (where has this sense of humour come from David?), there's nothing surreptitious going on, I'm just trying to decipher your sometimes-confusing theology Malcolm. I know. It's just that you said: “I'm not trying to trap you.”

Quote Moi? Tu

Actually, I think we've gone off topic.

I have an interesting question:T8, would you consider yourself to be a witness of Jehovah, in the Biblical sense, not meaning that you believe as Jehovah's Witnesses do?

mmmm. Feels like a trap. Don't do it malcolm.Just joking Is 1:18

I've said this before. I think it fits here. It's something we should remember T8:Yes, but my point was that it's quite definitely possible to be completely, blindingly, ignorantly wrong and not be associated with a denomination as well. There are a lot of people that aren't a part of any denomination and are completely wrong.The very fact that…[Read more]
