You wouldn't belong to a denomination group in that case, it would be assumed you were part of the Body of Christ/Church.This idea was proposed so that those who come here representing groups would be brought out in the light, exposing their motives. Of course it would be assumed that members who belonged to such groups would want this as it is…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Feb. 27 2007,17:03)Quote Hi W,This is a remarkable new teaching.Can you show us from the OT and NT that God can and did die?If God can die who is alive and can raise God?If the living God is mortal what hope is there for frail men?NHI have showed you many times that the Eternal Word/God did not die and could not die. But…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Feb. 27 2007,05:24)Was the one teaching in the arctic circle teaching anything similar to the one teaching in New Zealand? Were they “one” as you kept emphasizing before? “One” in belief, in love, in their message? Or rather, do you think they may have taught conflicting messages? The body of Christ, is not divided.To david.Yes…[Read more]

Many denominations claim their differing beliefs are from the bible. Most of it is drunken talk from drinking too much Babylonian wine.Be ye sober.See this crazy situation for what it is.”I am the way, no I am the way, no we are, we are the true church, we are the church that is closest to the NT, we are the biggest church, we are the most…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Feb. 25 2007,02:04)And the fact that JW's seem to be the only one's doing this may not prove anything in your mind.Are you sure about that david?In your eyes maybe because you seem to live and breathe the JW organisation. But I have seen and met Christians preaching the gospel most of my life from the Artic Circle in Norway down to…[Read more]

Quote (Is 1:18 @ Feb. 26 2007,23:15)To be honest with you MS, I can't see how this couldn't be construed as anything other than bitheism…..bitheism….. ?Is 1:18, guess where the Trinity proceeded from? The answer is the Binity. It use to be a Binity and then later on they added a new member. So it is a root of your own belief, unless of course…[Read more]

Quote (Is 1:18 @ Feb. 26 2007,23:08)Quote (Morning Star @ Feb. 26 2007,03:17)I agree with everything you said, I think. I do not think Jesus was a seperate sentient being before being begotten. Rather God took part of himself in begetting his son.Though he did not diminish in the process. Like the flame of a candle being passed on to another…[Read more]

To WorshippingJesus.Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Feb. 27 2007,02:44)t8. Is it possible for the Lord from heaven, Jesus, to sit in more than One throne, since he is the creator of them, and since by his Spirit he fills all things and upholds all things?You said it. All I said was Jesus will sit on his Father's throne and we can sit with Christ on his…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Feb. 27 2007,02:44)Why did you leave half of my post out? I highlighted that which was relevant to my reply.

Hi Ciara10622.If you do not feel comfortable here, then you are free to leave.I know that is obvious, but it is pointless saying things like this and then coming back to say it again.You might as well not come in the first place if you really mean what you say.Just a bit of advice.

Quote (david @ Feb. 22 2007,21:38)Irrelevant to you. Not to Jesus. Jesus foretold for our day this work: “This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.”–Mat. 24:14He also instructed his followers: “Go . . . and make disciples of people of all the nations…[Read more]

Thanks for clarifying that Morning Star.That is pretty much how I see it too.

david.When I talk about the JW organisation I often lump it in with Mormons and other denominations and cults. Therefore I may mention tithing or the love of the flocks money.Tithing particularly annoys me as it is just a denominations way to get rich and prosper in a financial sense. But giving under compulsion is wrong and giving to…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Feb. 26 2007,03:47)Ummm. No, wrong again. It is because you are having great difficulty understanding that JW's don't tithe. So, yes, I've become more direct.Ummmmmmmmmm wrong again again.I haven't said that JWs impose a regime of 10% to the JW organisation anywhere as far as I know. But I have said that some may give that amount…[Read more]

Quote (Morning Star @ Feb. 25 2007,13:14)Jesus was always a part of God. The Wisdom of God. Read Proverbs 8 & 9.Hi Morning Star.Thanks for your post.I do not understand how you can say that Jesus was always a part of God as the wisdom of God.It is written that wisdom was the first to be begotten and he was the craftsman at God's side when God…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Feb. 23 2007,23:51)T8Can you hear yourself? Are you making yourself equal in nature and Identity to Jesus?Are you telling me you will sit in the same throne as the Father and the Lamb?This kind of thinking comes from seeing Jesus as a merely a Son of God like us without accepting his deity.All thrones are…[Read more]

Quote (dclegg @ Oct. 19 2006,00:17)Is the word church an accurate synonym of the Body of Christ?Colossians 1:24Now I rejoice in what was suffered for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ's afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church.Ephesians 5:23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ…[Read more]

Yes many over the centuries have paid with their lives, but even if we are to pay with our life, then we should do it rather than deny our Lord. If we are already crucified with Christ, then we cannot be truly killed.We have nothing to fear. God is perfect love.

Quote (david @ Feb. 24 2007,03:38)JW's, including me, go to people everywhere BECAUSE of what Jesus has commanded.Saying that I am “following” JW's doesn't make sense here, because JW's are following Jesus command. That is why they share the Bible message with everyone.david.Vacuum Cleaner salesmen do the same thing. They go from door to door to…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Feb. 22 2007,19:34)Quote “Yes…”T8, you missed my point. But by answering it in the affirmative as any sane person would, you show Nick's reasoning to be false. Thankyou.david, are you saying that Nick says that he wouldn't tell his neigbour the greatest news he could ever hear? It is the obvious conclusion to the meaning of your…[Read more]
