Quote (Paladin @ Oct. 01 2011,16:14)Quote (mikeboll64 @ Sep. 29 2011,11:33)Hi Kerwin,I believe that the phrase “ALL THINGS” has the default meaning of ALL THINGS.  I agree with you that context and/or logic COULD narrow the scope of the phrase to include only certain things.  But I don't see any context in John 1:3, Col 1:16, or 1 Cor 8:6 that w…[Read more]

Let's see who's SCRIPTURALLY correct here, Gene……………Mike:  Angels ARE ministering spirits.Gene:  Angels HAVE ministering spirits INSIDE OF THEM.Scripture:  Hebrews 1:14Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?Hmmmm…………….which one of US is aligning his statement WITH the sc…[Read more]

Okay Ed,Then simply do what I've been asking you to do all along: CONFIRM FOR ME THAT IT IS THE JW OFFICIAL STANCE THAT ONLY JWs WILL GAIN EVERLASTING LIFE.If you can CONFIRM your claim, then I will stand up WITH you and Pierre and condemn them for that ONE action.But if you CANNOT CONFIRM your claim with FACTS (not hearsay from others), then you…[Read more]

Those are three GOSSIPS, Ed. If none of them have shown WRITTEN PROOF where any JW claimed what you say they claim, then it is merely GOSSIP.

Okay Gene,So in your opinion, any “god” mentioned in the scriptures should be with capped “G”?  Should Satan be called the God of this world – with a capped “G”?How about in Isaiah 9:6?  Should the forthcoming Messiah be called “Mighty God” with a capped “G”, making us thing he IS the God who foretold of his coming?

Gene,You need to research John 1:1 a little more.  The Word is never called “THE God” in that verse.  And “THE God” is the only one we call “God”, with a capped “G”.All others are called “gods” in English, with a lower case “g”.And since the Word was WITH “THE God” in the beginning, he couldn't possibly have BEEN “THE God”.1:1 speaks of TWO p…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ Oct. 01 2011,11:25)I showed you the verse in the N.W.T where they changed the word “some” to “Respective ones”.

Quote (terraricca @ Oct. 01 2011,11:01)As far as false religion being destroyed, don't you agree that it will? i AGREE BUT I DO NOT TELL YOU THAT I AM THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET THERE.But you haven't showed me anything where the JWs ever claimed to be “the ONLY way you can get there”.That is what I'm waiting to see from you or Ed.

Gene,Although what you posted was in English, I haven't a clue what you are saying. I will remind you that the logos BECAME flesh. He did not come to be IN someone who was flesh. If one must change the scriptures for their doctrine to be realized, then something is wrong with that doctrine.

No Ed.  God's Holy Spirit remains God's Holy Spirit.  It can ACT IN me, but does not become a part of me.And my spirit is what animates my soul and body, but my spirit is not me.

Okay Ed,“ALL PEOPLE NAMED 'ED J' ARE IDIOTS!”There's MY claim – now it is up to YOU to search the databases of the world and prove it NOT to be true.Do you see how sensless that would be, Ed?  If I am the one who made the claim about someone else, then I am the one who needs to show a reason for making that claim.Your posts reveal to me that you…[Read more]

Hi Irene,I follow the prayer thread regularly. I just don't comment every time I pray for one mentioned there. You and yours are in my prayers always, Irene.

I know what YOU said. But does what YOU said align with the scriptures you posted? NO!The scriptures say God will send something that BELONGS TO Him. And what does “God sent OF HIMSELF” even mean? Question #2:John 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only…[Read more]
