Quote Exposing false teachings is not persecution. I never said it was Nick. Why do you always jump on me wrongly?I was just wanting to start a thread looking at the persecution of early Christians and what Jesus said his followers could expect. I don't think this forum has really touched upon that.Quote True Nick.There is a difference between…[Read more]

Quote QuoteAny church that even suggests that you pray to a, “Holy Mary Mother of God” is a Whore!Now David, partaking of the bread and wine unworthily means without salvation. I too grew up Catholic, went through the first communion, where I was asked to kiss the Bishops ring, I refused! I did not have a clear understanding when I participated…[Read more]

I was thinking of starting one on Genesis 3:15. Also maybe one on persecution, as I haven't seen one on that. Do you think either of these will cause a lot of “interest and comment”?

GENESIS 4:4-5“….Now while Jehovah was looking WITH FAVOR UPON ABEL and his offering, he DID NOT LOOK WITH FAVOR UPON CAIN and upon his offering.”HEBREWS 11:4“By FAITH Abel offered God a sacrifice of greater worth than Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God bearing witness respecting his gifts; and throu…[Read more]

I'm sorry Nick. It was a fancy overly complicated way to say people have different beliefs–and they do, right?A belief system is a system of belief.You'll notice in the next sentence I clarified with the word “religion.”Anyway, where are the threads on other religions? The moment you found out I was a witness of Jehovah, you started a thread.…[Read more]

Quote There are probably a few JW posts here because of david who is a JW and he regularly posts in this BBS. My guess is that if he wasn't here, then there probably wouldn't be a lot less discussions on JWs than there are currently. But there are other people on here who belong to different belief systems, aren't there? I”m wondering where the…[Read more]

Quote I would say that there are few beliefs that JWs have and many who come here have in common. Outside the belief that the Trinity doctrine is not true, I can't think of many other things that we agree on.I completely agree with t8 on this one.I do however still find it interesting that as I've been reading through older posts, I've come across…[Read more]

I was trying to find the lowest common denominator, and could only come up with the obvious, that we all believe in God (but are unclear who that is exactly)But then I came across the “creation and science” section, where there is a vote thread called: “Do you believe the evolution theory is true.The votes were:2 Not sure2 Yes13 Not trueI'm…[Read more]

You are very good at dogding and re-directing questions. I commend your skill.Quote Yes david.And that is how I would see the JWs. Their doctrines differ from the word of God. My reponse:Quote Does that make them non-believers?Quote Because in your view the trinitarian doctrine also differs from the Word of God. Yet, in their case, you are…[Read more]

So that would be a “no,” then?

Quote Yes, why is it the peaple feel compelled to put a christian in a neat little box with a neat little label. Isn't the name Christian (follower of Christ) enough? Since this thread is about Jehovah's Witnesses, I feel compelled to mention their name.We are followers of Christ. And Christ was called the “faithful witness,” and also the…[Read more]

Quote From what I've read even the Catholic Church itself believes that there will be an evil pope in the future. Really??Scripture Seeker, there is a great gentleness in your words. I picture you as your avatar shows. It is refreshing. Somehow, even when I don't agree with exactly what you say, I agree with how you say it. You speak with…[Read more]

But do you have anything specific? I mean, there are 4 or 5 threads on Jehovah's Witnesses with several pages each.Isn't unitarianism like triniatarinism, not really a faith?And protestantism–do you have any specific faiths.

That was fast. You found them before I asked.

Can you find some of the other threads on othe faiths.I don't think I've seen any.

Yes, there are about 3 by name and a couple others specifically directed towards Jehovah's Witnesses now. A moment after you found out I was a Witness, you started one. It suprised me.I'm wondering why there are no….actually, I don't even know what the other religions on here are, other than one Roman Catholic. But why are there no special…[Read more]

When does this vote end?
