Quote (WorshippingJesus @ May 05 2011,08:34)If the scriptures teach there is “Only One True God” then how can you say there are other “gods”?”Monotheism' is “the belief in ONE God. “Polytheism” is the belief in more than “One God”.YHWH clearly says “There are none other gods beside him”, period.I agree with this completly WJ.

Hi Istari.Do you picture Jesus dancing around, singing, and talking strange tongues? Have you ever seen that in scripture? I see Him more as obediant, and praying alot, but thats just how I see Jesus in my mind. And the 'tongues' on the day of pentecost were just languages, not some type of gibberish, it was to spread the word. Not like you see…[Read more]

Istari,Jesus said to worship God, worship can have variation, we are all different, there is the louder boisterous type and there is the quieter, with prayer, reflection, inner love, thought, servitude, obediance, and also a type of fear, for a clue to worship, look at the son, what did Jesus do?(switching usernames nevermind why!)

Isnt judgment day the day of harvest? The seperation of the wheat and the weeds, or the sheep and the goats? One are put on Jesus's right side, and the others on his left, the weeds to be thrown into the fire……….the second death?

Terra, you can make the scriptures say whatever you want them to say. The closer you are to God the less there is to know, and this I know.I also know that whatever is said here will be opposed by you. True?And Terra, do you still believe Jesus was risen in the flesh? See, you believe JW literature over the words of Jesus him self.

Mike, I did a study into this ages ago with Bodhitharta. The word God is a title. Allah (the God of Islam) means God. The only name Jesus used to pray was 'Father'. In Islam, Allah (God) isnt the Father to anyone. And in the 99 names of Allah, not one is 'Father'.
