I'm trying to point them to the scriptures that should be dominating their ideas, Nick.  The answers to the two simple questions I keep asking you are right there in the scriptures.  I've drawn you a map right to them.  Why then won't you follow the map, read the scriptures I've led you to, and answer the simple questions?  

Man was made in the image of God Almighty, Nick. He was made only a little lower than the angels. How is it that you have such a low opinion of this wonderful creation of God called man?How is it that you think God created us without the ability to reason and decypher things for ourselves?

Have ever altered your understanding of scripture before? Were you a false teacher before you altered it, or just a man who was mistaken?If you can get so upset by me asking you that last simple question, then understand how I hate it when people make threads slamming the JWs all the time around here. It infuriates me.If they are teaching…[Read more]

There are many that speak of enemies having teeth like lions. There are many more that refer to men as lions.Should we believe these men are in fact lions? Or should we use our God-given wisdom and logic to decypher that “lion” is used metaphorically?Which one, Nick?

“WE” (whoever that is) cannot answer simple scriptural questions?  That seems a bit odd, don't you think?  Nick, I've asked you two VERY SIMPLE questions, the answers to which don't have to be “arbitrated”, because they are right there in the scriptures for all to read.Are you saying you are not scripturally adept enough to find the answers to t…[Read more]

And do we use our God-given human wisdom and logic to understand verses like Joel 1:6, Nick?

I have, and He did.  But you are saying things contrary to the understanding that scriptures and God built inside of me.How do we find out which of us God really taught, Nick?  I say we use the scriptures and our God-given understanding.That in mind:WHATEVER BECAME FLESH HAD THE GLORY OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD.Nick, WHO has the glory of t…[Read more]

Are you a false teacher, Pierre?

Pierre,I'm waiting for something unscriptural that the JWs teach. You call them “false teachers” – prove it.

Another non-answer from Nick.

Do you think spouting unscriptural things that you aren't even willing to defend is the best way to teach the truth of the scriptures?Answer the questions I've asked of you Nick. Answer them or admit that you can't because the answers will ruin your man-made doctrine.How about the Joel 1:6 scripture I posted? How do you personally know that the…[Read more]

Okay Nick,Forget the “sound like” part of my post. WHATEVER BECAME FLESH HAD THE GLORY OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD.Nick, WHO has the glory of the only begotten Son of God?WHATEVER BECAME FLESH HAD SANDALS THAT JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS UNFIT TO UNTIE.Nick, WHO had sandals that John the Baptist was unfit to untie?Use the scriptures, Nick. The…[Read more]

I looked at it and answered you. Where did I say you have swithed back to your old views? I said for you TO DO THAT if you wanted to.

It takes no arbitration to decypher whether 1:14 says the Word BECAME flesh, or CAME TO BE IN someone who was flesh.So what's the problem here?  Whatever BECAME flesh also had the glory of God's only begotten.  Who does that sound like?  Whatever BECAME flesh had sandals that John the Baptist was unfit to untie.  Who does that sound like?  (R…[Read more]

Quote (terraricca @ Feb. 12 2012,11:26)Mikefirst I never claim that I have the spirit right or did I the JW ORG. did .Show me where the JW Organization, as a whole, ever claimed to have the spirit, or to be the only ones with the spirit.

That in itself is a far cry better than anything YOU have. But that is not all of it, Nick.This Word, who YOU say was speaking through Jesus in John 17:5, was asking for something. Only beings with wishes and ambitions ask for things.And there is much more. Now, answer some questions already.

So, although you CAN answer the first question, because the Greek words are right there for the whole world to see, you choose NOT to answer it because you know it messes up your own man-made doctrine. I see.

Well, the Word was described with masculine, singular pronouns in John 1. That means the Word was a HE and not an IT. That is one reason.But don't you have some questions waiting for you? When do you think you might get around to answering them?

Why do you suppose Jesus said “YOU ARE ROCK” to Peter in his sentence, Nick?Was Peter unaware that he was Peter?
