Quote (Lightenup @ Dec. 11 2012,16:38)Jesus said, “I and the Father are one.”Would Jesus lie? No. I agree with Jesus.This is my least favourite trinity proof. Why do people keep using it? New Living Translation (©2007)I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one–as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Dec. 12 2012,12:18)Quote (david @ Dec. 10 2012,23:27)It seems I have no reason to fear demons.  It seems they can not touch me.  It seems I am impervious to them showing any interest in me.  I could duct tape 10 ouija boards to my body for a year, it wouldn't matter.David,Continue to believe they don't exist if you want to.  J…[Read more]

Quote Okay he disagrees with the JWs. My opinion here is 2-fold. It shows that he is a thinking person who is able to make decisions or form beliefs from his own experience and not just a blind sheep. However, I think his conclusion is also wrong because his belief is not my experience and he shouldn't be too quick to dismiss other people's…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ Dec. 08 2012,20:00)Quote (mikeboll64 @ Dec. 07 2012,15:37)t8,Perhaps you missed it in David's long posts, but he has repeatedly tried to tell you that the JWs DO believe in demon activity in this day and age.  They also believe that people can invite demons into their lives through the use of things such as Ouija Boards.He is saying…[Read more]

I vote that you cut and paste all of these posts into the new website. Could you do that t8? I know it might take a few months. Still, it would be nice. 🙂

I have always thought it would be great to see someone's posts, or someone's threads that they started. Since I can't figure out youtube, that doesn't concern me as much. :-). I say scrap this one. Organize the next one better:The 43 threads on Michael the archangel could all be in one thread. Or the 857 threads on trinity could all be in a…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ Dec. 11 2012,14:01)Here is the quick answer david.FAITH HEALING – Real, or Fake?Both.Jesus said, “by your faith you have been made whole”. (Something like that.)PROPHECY – Real, or Fake?Both.TEACHING – Real or Fake?BothFake as in false/deceptive/from the enemy.It's easy to find the fake. I could throw a rock and it would bounce off of…[Read more]

Quote David, I don't know if I answered all of your questions with this post. I did not read your long post because I know that the gifts of the Spirit have not ceased, and so, there is no need in my hearing anything that you or anyone else says to the contraryThat's ok 94. I didn't read your post either, because like you, I know what I know and…[Read more]

Quote David it really does amaze me that you don't believe that God still performs Miracles. What did God say through Joel. ..> And it shall come to pass in the Last Days, says God, I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh: and you sons and you daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dreams dreams…[Read more]

Quote Your belief that God does not still do miracles among us is false and i am a personal witness of many many miracles David.I haven't really said that god doesn't do miracles today. I only ask: what miracles? Which are the miracles you personally were involved with?I do believe the “gifts of the spirit” were done away with, or “ceased” as…[Read more]

Has anyone else here noticed that Ed believes he is specifically mentioned in the bible? I haven't followed the thread, but could someone other than Ed, specify which scriptures he believes points to that conclusion? (Journey perhaps). I'm not looking for a discussion, or to take over this thread, but, I'm not allowed to comment in that thread,…[Read more]

Quote So yes and no. Depends if it is divine intervention or not.God does intervene, so where that happens you can call that a miracle.Well how do you know? If both God intervening, and God not intervening can look exactly the same, then how do you know, t8?You really can't know, if they look e same. You can only believe or have faith. My point…[Read more]

Quote (terraricca @ Dec. 07 2012,02:16)davidQuote So, mike and Pierre believe these are miracles, or perhaps that God directed these JW to these ones through his Holy Spirit. I believe you are streaching thing over ,it was not in that intend that I answered you,showing you that the JW add nothing to do in it ,you just took a bias view towards what…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ Dec. 06 2012,08:09)Quote (david @ Dec. 05 2012,13:35)t8, are these miracles?david, what we call miracles are likely perfectly acceptable answers when you can see the big picture.And given that there are likely higher dimensions that we cannot really fathom at the moment, there must be many logical things that happen that appear as…[Read more]

So, WAKEUP clearly thinks those were not miracles.Pierre and mike believe they were miracles. We're they? And if they were not miracles, what were they?

What did the gifts of the Holy Spirit accomplish back then?Heb 2:2-4“For if the word spoken through angels proved to be firm, and every transgression and disobedient act received a retribution in harmony with justice; 3 how shall we escape if we have neglected a salvation of such greatness in that it began to be spoken through our Lord and was v…[Read more]

Marty,Posted: Oct. 02 2005,15:42 “My dear friends, do not believe all who claim to have the Spirit, but test them to find out if the spirit they have comes from God.”—1 John 4:1, Today’s English Version.“Beloved ones . . . test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God.” (Acts 17:11; See also 1 Thes 5:20,21)Ev…[Read more]

Marty,I believe that the gifts of the spirit including that of speaking in tongues ceased.You believe you are speaking in tongues sometimes and that it is prayer language.But, was it just this back then?Interesting point about them all speaking the same language.What do you make of this:”All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to…[Read more]

Quote And the difference between a believer and a nonbeliever who may receive a healing through a doctor is that a believer, if he has exercised his faith in God's Word for his healing by doing what the Word states in James 5, the believer is putting his faith in God for the healing rather than in the doctor. The unbeliever may receive relief…[Read more]

Quote I did not see anyone coming to Jesus for healing for a blood pressure problem, and maybe that is why you do not remember any of the Apostles saying that someone had to wait for a healing, but I have learned through my personal experience that although God can heal this instantaneously, if He did, and I did not change my lifestyle, the…[Read more]
