Nick, has there ever been security in any religion anywhere?Has there ever been a true religion?

Priests and clergy the world over lull the public into a false sense of security with their indiscriminate use of “born again” and “once saved, always saved” slogans and theology. Millions of people from nearly every religion and sect of Christendom have been led to believe that they are “born again” and “saved.”Since you've time and again said…[Read more]

I just discovered all these other topics. Saskatoon is fine. We have the hightest murder/crime rate per capita of any city in Canada. But, that's mostly the other side of the city. Where are you from Nick?

So, I've finally convinced you have I?(that was a joke)Half of these scriptures I've already quoted. And I've quoted them to show that if one has faith, you will also have works.Right, so,Faith WILL save us, BECAUSE it will move us to action.Nick, I completely agree with what you said. It actually seems to me like you're now saying what I was…[Read more]

Couldn't our time be more well spent trying to think up ways to reach people with the good news?Liljon, I make a prediction. (Just a joke, really)Even though I don't know where you're from, even though I have no idea what country or island or village you live in, I make a prediction.In the next few months or so, a couple of people are going to…[Read more]

OK, we'll go back into the heaven scriptures and we'll go over them with a little less speed.But before we do, Liljon, what do you think of these scriptures? What place have they in your understanding?PROVERBS 2:21-22“For the upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it. As r…[Read more]

Jesus pointed to God as the Source of his life, saying, “I live because of the Father.” According to the context, this meant that his life resulted from or was caused by his Father, even as the gaining of life by dying men would result from their faith in Jesus’ ransom sacrifice.—Joh 6:56, 57.

Crazy!!!!I don't visit the web site very much, but I just did. Did you see what was on the top right hand corner, in large letters? 'Should I belong to a Church?' That's crazy. I mean, that's not always there, it changes all the time and this isn't a subject that we see all that much. We were just discussing that very subject, and you go to…[Read more]

smily faces aren't working.

Hey Nick,You're not saying anything here I disagree with. I just happened upon that scripture and was again showing that it is unlikely that a spirit creature needs an actual literal throne to sit on.:blues:

Hey Nick, this is just a scripture that I found that also referes to Jehovah's “throne.”ISAIAH 66:1“This is what Jehovah has said: “The heavens are my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where, then, is the house that YOU people can build for me, and where, then, is the place as a resting-place for me?””Again, here, we see Jehovah's throne.…[Read more]

I'm wondering where t8 or other administrators are.

Liljon,What is a father?What is a son?Use the dictionary if you have to.I would really like to hear your responce to those questions.How many fathers and sons have you met? thousands? Tens of thousands?Now, how many of those fathers were the same age as their sons?If Jehovah and Jesus are the same age, equal, why choose to be identified with…[Read more]

I think I have it Nick. You saw the corruption of the Catholic church and said: “I don't need this. I can figure things out myself. I don't need the priests above me. I don't need religion at all.”I could understand someone saying those things.But a religion organized in the manner of the first-century Christian congregation would be…[Read more]

First off, I believe everything in the Bible Nick.No Nick, we cannot discard any words, you're right.I'm not sure what you mean by 'spirtualizing' verses.Submitting to God's spirit–a good thing.Comparing verse with verse and looking at the context–a good thing.

No it doesn't Nick. That doesn't restore our relationship with God.But if God has a people, shouldn't we be with that people.Would you have said those words to Peter or Paul if they came to your house (Acts 20:20; 5:42)Peter, “Joining a religion does not restore our relationship with God.”Would you have done your own thing, and figured the Bible…[Read more]

Since when have you cared what “most religious groups profess” Nick? It's what the Bible says. I have quoted the Bible. I have not looked to what most religious groups of this whorish Babylonian world believe, as you say, and as you have referred to them in the past.What does it mean to “receive Christ” Nick?”All you have to do is mix with the…[Read more]

did you go to the official web site?

Another thought just came to mind:Nick, you said: “The JWs teach that there is one true religion and one true church.”THE SAME. THE SAME. THE SAME. THE SAME. THE SAME.Early Chrisitianity taught that there was one true religion and one true church. (Read between the lines.)The Jews who had a religion that was no longer acceptable had to…[Read more]

It's gone from about 95 cents/litre a week ago, to 111 cents/litre today and it continues to climb. It's crazy. I'm told we get all our gasoline from Alberta, so a crisis outside Canada should really have no effect on us, yet…david
