1914 was their founders unfulfilled prophecy on the return of Christ. They then said he did not return visibly or something like that if I remember correctly.
I’m not one to slander people because the bible makes it very clear that there is no place on the earth for a slanderer, so I went to their website (the same one you went to) to get it fr…[Read more]

It sounds like you are discarding those variations that disagree with your conclusion. Some Trinitarians believe God is God’s proper name and that is one your discard.
I thought Trinitarians believed that Jesus was Gods name. God is not a proper name, it’s a title, right? Reading the lesson, and all the comments I had to go back and relearn so…[Read more]

Great topic!
I believe you are referring to the thread that @tigger2 started. I believe that one can claim more than one of those titles above. But not based on my own opinions or reasoning…based on scripture alone we know that one can claim more than one of those above titles. For example at 2nd Cor 4:4 Satan is called “the god of this wo…[Read more]

🙂 I just wanted to know if different Muslims translate parts of the Quran to have a different meaning, and if this is why we see some of the violent groups of the Middle East that we see. But I can dig a lot of what you said there.

I’m just reading everyone comments, and unfortunately I do not think they are willing to actually read the post. There really not getting it. They aren’t even making any real rebuttals on the actual post itself. I don’t care where the information came from…if it makes sense..it makes sense..if it’s backed up with scripture than what d…[Read more]

Very interesting…and informative! Thanks for sharing. I love to learn about other religions from the horses mouth…instead of listening to what other people try to accuse a religion of believing or doing. Whether I agree with the belief or not…I can’t tell someone what’s true about their own religion. I believe in educating myself so…[Read more]

Hi Ed
I do believe we can speak to God through Jesus as he is our mediator. Do I believe that one can actually have a conversation with God. Literally hearing the voice of God (out loud, or in their head) no.. I believe God answers prayers, but not by literally speaking to a person. I believe that’s one of the reason he gives us the bible.…[Read more]

So Allah is a title? Not a personal name like “Jehovah”.. I guess the same as the word “God”, but in a different language? Just trying to understand.

Hi Davidl
I can understand how one can derive that Jesus and God are the same by using the scripture at John 10:30 “I and the Father are One”.. especially if that has been your understanding your entire life; however it does not say they are “one God”….compare John 17:22 “The glory which thou hast given me I have given to them; that they may b…[Read more]

I think you should go back and read his post. I believe that god is working in our lives. Life itself is a miracle. No one is saying god does not have power. he does… we said MEN DONT… NOT GOD DONT…
UMB5 replied to the topic MIRACLES in the forum Scriptural Teachings 9 years, 6 months ago
Again I ask…why do you think he denies the power of God. I agree with him regarding men not being able to perform miracles today..and I do not deny the power of God. Saying “because he’s J.W” is not a reason. So is it that ANYBODY that believe men are not able to perform the kinds of miracles that were performed in the bible (raising people fro…[Read more]

what does it matter if he’s JW or not.. Where does anything you copied pasted say that he denies the power of God? As a matter of fact…did you read any of what you copied and pasted. I don’t see anything that is off. It’s just a bunch of scriptures with facts. It seems to me that you have some vendetta against him because he belongs to a…[Read more]

Hi nickhassan
I’m sorry but I have no idea what your talking about, however I base my belief on this matter, on scripture. I do feel that the beginning of this thread does a good job explaining this position..so no need to repeat it. I’m not sure you read it all. I read everything you wrote, (things can get lost in translation when typing) and q…[Read more]

My point was simply that just because one does not believe that men today do not have the power to perform miracles, does not mean they deny the power of God. I agree that you should pray when sick…when well.. when happy…when sad…to say thank you…to say sorry…but I just do not believe (like David) that God today gives man…[Read more]
