Nick, you said:”Hi david,So it is Law and Works for salvation as a Jehovah's witness after all?”He asked why we come to his door so often. My answer was simply that we love God and people, AS WE ARE COMMANDED TO DO.Are we not commanded to love our neighbor Nick, or to love God?Why is it every time I mention doing anything that the Bible says, you…[Read more]

Brandon, You said: “jesus told the apostles that if a town rejects you, dust the sand off your sandals. that town will be worse off than sodom and gomorrah or something like that.”Yes, he did say “something like that.” I'm not going to do the work for you. Please go find the actual scripture and read it and then I'll answer your question. Or…[Read more]

Elijah, I know J is the most recent letter added to the English alphabet. You're right. We should remove all the letters J from the Bible. You start scribbling them out in your Bible and let me know how that goes.I'm pretty sure what I was asking you is why do you not use Yahweh or Jehovah AS OPPOSED TO YAH OR JAH?You're always saying 'Yah,'…[Read more]

A lot of people don't really care what the Bible says, Ruko.For a Catholic, tradition is just as important as the Bible, more even.But that's not how it should be.Everything you have said demands an answer.Keep on asking, Ruko.At Jesus' baptism, the Father said that of his son. He was proud and pleased, as any father would be.

Were you saying I was american?I had thought you were from New Zealand.I'm from Canada.I'm taking tonight off. I have to go.dave

We don't have to be part of that kingdom, that heavenly government to be saved. We don't have to be the rulers in that government to be saved.There are others Nick, others who this kingdom rule over.You have stated that not very many people make up that kingdom.This “heavenly kingdom” will rule “over the earth.” (I know your bible says “on” the…[Read more]

No Nick, it doesn't come down to law and works.I WAS JUST POINTING OUT SOMETHING JESUS SAID:By their fruits you will recognize those men.Good fruit, good tree, bad fruit, bad treeGood fruitage, true worship, bad fruitage, false worshipWhat I was attempting to get at, but you seem to have missed, was this:You can stand there and say, I'm right.I…[Read more]

You're american?Hey, did you know that in 7 out of the last 10 years, the U.N. declared Canada the best country to live in?Sorry, I didn't know you were american.

“Unless anyone is born from water and spirit,” Jesus explains, “he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” This is part of the reason we've been talking about what the kingdom of God is. This “heavenly kingdom” is made up of the holy ones who receive the kingdom.In the “kingdom of God” thread, I asked: “WILL A LITTLE NUMBER OF PEOPLE MAKE UP THE…[Read more]

Well, you expected wrong Nick. You also keep spelling organization wrong. It bothers me just a little every time I see it. It's not a big thing. It's just that you do it every time.How would showing how the individuals become one with Jesus prove anything?We can both say the same things Nick. In order to prove anything however, we have to…[Read more]

Do you know what the words stauros and xylon mean, Brandon? One word means “stake” and the other means a piece of timber. It's from where we get the word xylophone.Much like the trinity, Christmas, Easter, the immortal soul and a couple other things, the symbol of the cross comes from Babylon and other ancient pagan religions.Something of a side…[Read more]

Nick, i know.Christ is the end of the law.the law was a tutor pointing to Christ. The law made it manifest that people are sinful and needed something more.Nick, I've never meant to imply that we should obey the ten commandments, or any of the other ones in the law. Anything specific that God says, even if it's through Jesus, is a command. It's…[Read more]

Stuff you know Nick:The Bible does not agree with the modern view that there are many acceptable ways to worship God. Ephesians 4:5 says there is “one Lord, one faith.” Jesus stated: “Narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it. . . . Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the…[Read more]

PSALM 26:12“….Among the congregated throngs I shall bless Jehovah.”PSALM 68:26“In congregated throngs bless God, Jehovah, from the Source of Israel.”PSALM 107:32“And let them extol him in the congregation of the people; And in the seat of the elderly men let them praise him.”PSALM 111:1“Praise Jah, YOU people! I shall laud Jehovah with all hea…[Read more]

In responce to your last post,Rev. 5:10: “You made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.” (The same Greek word and grammatical structure is found at Revelation 11:6. There RS, KJ, Dy, etc., all render it “over.”)This is “the saved” as you say, Christ's brothers, the joint heirs, the annoint…[Read more]

I quite enjoy having these discussions Nick. I'm kind of busy now though. It's Wednesday. I'm going to a meeting, with fellow believers, where I can be encouraged and upbuilt.HEBREWS 10:24-25“And let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but e…[Read more]

No Nick, you're right, Zeal saves no one.I'm just saying that you can't say: zeal is pointless.Being zealous for fine works is a good thing, as indicated by the scripture I quoted above.”I have never agreed that “believe on the Lord and you shall be saved” is the true gate for joining the body of Christ.”I know you don't believe that Nick, but…[Read more]

Dearest BrandonIke,We don't speak Hebrew. Do you call Jesus Yehsua, (or Yehoshua)?Doubtful.Are you suggesting we take all the “J's” out of the Bible, or at least, out of the Hebrew portion (Old Testament, and Matthew)? There's a lot of “J's” in there brandon. What good would that serve, except to confuse. The purpose of language is to…[Read more]

Quick question Elijah. I know you just told Nick you wouldn't answer any questions until he answered yours, but truthfully, your questions are beyond me. I'm not very smart. I've asked you to dumb it down for me a few times. There are a couple things I just don't understand. I have been under the impression that the Bible was inspired of…[Read more]
