Quote I think if you were able to wash your mind from JW doctrine, then you would be able to reason better and have clarity on such things too. But you have to overcome these beliefs that hinder you. T8, you really don't have any idea what you are talking about here. I am bored of repeating this. There are two separate things: miracles, such as…[Read more]

Quote On the other hand that interpretation of that verse could be wrong. And so God did not leave us defenseless, but gave us his Spirit and good things from his Spirit to see us through this present darkness and all the way to the end.Well it could be but doesn't seem to be based on reality and what is really happening.

Quote And why the difference between then and now. We need these things more than ever. The perfect is not realised yet. JEsus will come back for a bride without spot and blemish. Last time I looked, the bride is still here. Thus for the interpretation of one verse, the gifts are now no longer existence according to you. No, we have the bible…[Read more]

Quote But what is the difference. If you can say that today all these things are fake, then you can argue equally for Jesus and the Apostles timet8, what possible reason would I have to argue that?ILLUSTRATION:If I am handed a coin, a nickel and look at and examine the Nickel very closely, although it is called a nickel, i find that it isn't made…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Nov. 28 2012,12:25)Quote (david @ Nov. 27 2012,19:02)t8, you are definitely lying to yourself if you have told yourself you have no agenda in protecting your belief about what you believe happened with the ouija board.  You have a great deal to lose, and far more than I.   You were an atheist.  This experience gave you pe…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Nov. 30 2012,12:56)Quote (david @ Nov. 27 2012,20:39)Mike?  what do you think?  Are these miracles?Yes David.  I would categorize them as miracles.  Luke 15:7I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.If the…[Read more]

Richtuner, are the hearings in the bible, in JEsus or the apostles time, anything like the healing you believe takes place today?

Quote (AWHN @ Nov. 30 2012,13:37)So far, we have the OT acknoweldging 'Jesus' as YHVH, the Father so doing the same, the Holy Spirit doing the same, Jesus doing the same even in the New Testament, given by prophets, proclaimed by prophets, and so said by Peter, Paul, John and others still…Now we also have the witness of Thomas, so even 'the…[Read more]

Hi T8,Quote This is how healing works for me.God gave me a body that heals itself. Thus I let my body heal itself.God also gave Stu such a body. But, Stu has no faith.Quote If the symptoms are painful, I may take some medication to dull that effect. Usually I don't. If that healing is not working or if I need a quicker healing for an important…[Read more]

Hi Marty, how are you? I don't see you on here as much anymore.Quote God said that He doesn't change, and if He was able to heal both physical and spiritual illness in the ministry of Jesus and the Apostles, then He can surely do it now.marty, I never said he couldn't. Surely he could do a lot of things now that he doesn't do.Quote Gene gave…[Read more]

Quote The Placebo Effect works because of faithThe placebo effect is well documented. It works because of “belief” and of course works equally well on athiests.Quote not because of any medicinal purpose.Right, it's definitely a “mind” thing.Quote So if faith healing from a pill with no medicine in it can have that effect, imagine faith in God…[Read more]

Quote (2besee @ Nov. 30 2012,10:39)David, seeing that you are i think a JW, let me ask you something:How come that JWs have the highest rate of mental illness apparently? Is it because, in one of the JW magazines, people were advised to go and see their GP when suffering from depression etc and to 'take a Prozac' instead of turning to God?Sad…[Read more]

Quote (2besee @ Nov. 30 2012,10:23)David you are misunderstanding. I agree with you Gene, well said.And Richtruner, I agree too.Faith healing is exactly as it says  -> faith healing.It is when the power of above comes upon a man and they are then given the ability to heal another, even without them knowing.Jesus said that if you had faith the…[Read more]

Quote Also, something like this is easy to mistake, but when you actually see something that is suppose to be impossible and you are not the only witness, then that certainly is harder to explain and one explanation that should never be overlooked is that it is what it appeared to be.And as I said before, you are allowed to not believe an…[Read more]

AWHN,Here is one thread that discusses this. You believe that Jesus is eternal and God almighty. This thread is specifically about whether Jesus was created or not. We can discuss this topic here.
