What is faith based on? Knowledge.

She didn’t say anything about being “saved by a book”! Come on, man. But Jesus did say this…. “This means everlasting life, that they may know You, the only true God, and of the one whom You sent forth, Jesus Christ.” — John 17:3 See the phrase, “that they may know You”? There’s only one...

Well, the Bible says it’s God’s will that “all sorts of people should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of the truth.” (1Tim.2:4) [And Jesus told us Who gives it. (Luke 10:21)] Furthermore, the Bible encourages us to “Draw close to God…” at James 4:8, yet there are many teachings out...

As a group we have those experiences a lot. It even happened to me, once. A man I met at the door, told me he had prayed to God for help. And there I was, the following Saturday, knocking on his door! He studied the Bible with me for a couple months. But unfortunately, he chose not to continue...

It would be best to “go to the horse’s mouth”, as they say. (JW.org) Too many lies, otherwise. True. Please read John 11:11-14 & Ecclesiastes 9:5. There are others. Simply put, the 144,000 are the ones chosen to go to Heaven and rule with Christ. But please read Matthew 5:5. These meek ones...

Exactly. Jesus did not have it, until it was “given” to him. Simple enough. Jesus explicitly said his Father was “the only true God.” (John 17:3) He didn’t include himself. He never did. In fact Jesus said “true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth.” — John 4:23. And Paul...

has been given to Me….“ Yes, all authority has been given to Jesus. Since when does God need authority to be given to Him? God always had it. And God - Jesus’ God - gave it to Jesus, His first-born Son.

As with any large, global organization, there are unscrupulous individuals…. There are some bad individuals that have been found among Jehovah’s people? What happens to the ones that have been found in ours? They are disfellowshipped!! Removed!! The very procedure that you were ranting...

Such vehemence! Grief! This is the second post of yours that I’ve read, but you provide no Scriptural evidence to support your claims… all you’re doing is ranting & attacking. People act this way, when their argument is weak. I must assume yours is, too. You say “true Christian religion”...

He’s talking to Himself, then? So we have a God that’s schizophrenic? Either that, or God is just talking to someone else.

Yes. And not a ‘thousand years down the road,’ either…. At Acts 20:29,30, the Apostle Paul said “after my going away oppressive wolves will enter in among you and will not treat the flock with tenderness, and from among you yourselves men will rise and speak twisted things to draw away the...

No. Restoring the Divine Name, is another….. Both of which are related: knowing who our Creator is, is THE basic & most important tenet of not just the Bible, but of religion, period. As Jesus himself prayed: it “means everlasting life, their coming to know You, the only true God, and of the...

Well, all I know about you is I like many of your replies, obviously there’s a lot of study behind your answers; and I know you’re my cousin, somewhere along the line. Why would I consider you an “evil slave”? Ok, I’ve gotta ask: why? Could we discuss & reason on some things? If you say no...

Did Abraham worship the sons of Heth, then? It’s the same word used - proskyneō - at Genesis 23:7 in the Greek Bible (Septuagint).

I’m sure you don’t think the Bible contradict itself. Saying “the Word was God”, openly contradicts Jesus’ prayer, where He calls His Father, “the only true God.” But Catholic priest (ie., a trinitarian) and acclaimed scholar John L. McKenzie translates the latter part of John 1:1 (into...
