    Here's a likeable thread: Name something you like about a denomination (of Church) other than your own! (really, anything)

    Poetry doesn't count. It can be whatever you want it to be. That's something else I see from you at times, poetry. Are you a poet at heart? That would explain your excellence in grammar and spelling. I've heard poets are masters of language.

    If you have a problem with spelling or grammar in any given post, Steven will catch it. I know that from years ago as well as the present. Nothing gets past him. What's amazing is that I have never been able to catch him in that mistake, lol.

    IS SHEOL REAL?

    LOL, I'm not a JW! Glad to see we agree!

    IS SHEOL REAL?

    Had to look up the verse, couldn't remember. 2 Chron. 28:1-3 "Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord, like David his father: For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and...

    IS SHEOL REAL?

    The word "hell" that Christ uses is "geenna" which comes from "gehenna" which is a direct reference to "the valley of Hinnom/the sons of Hinnom. It is the place where Israel passed their children through the fire, killing them in the flames to Moleck. The Jews know their history very well and...

    IS SHEOL REAL?

    Ok, but I have to disagree. The word "Gehenna" comes from the "Valley of Hinnom" where Israel offered their children in the flames to the god Moleck. When Christ used that word, it was a literal place to ones who heard it.

    Donald Trump

    I don't think it's that they see him as a God, it's seems to be more of a bonding in his approach to politics. He resonates with the common person.

    IS SHEOL REAL?

    Sheol is Hebrew for the place of of dead in the underworld. In other words it's hell, the place of the spiritual dead. The word "Gehenna" in the Greek comes from the ancient "valley of Hinnom" in the ancient days "the sons of Hinnom. It's a direct reference to the "lake of fire" in Revelation...

    Two Testaments, Two Gods?

    When man fell in the Garden of Eden, God could either destroy man, or redeem man from His sins. He chose to redeem man! So He already had a plan to redeem man through sending His Son. In order to preserve the coming of His Redeemer, God protected Israel for this very purpose. When Israel obeyed...

    A question for my fellow universalists

    Hello Robert! Where will the "great cloud" be in relation to the JW"s

    The gospel according to... ???

    I can certainly handle Lawrence Welk, never missed his old tv show. But the tickling of my feet would be torture, I'd rather you resort to a baseball bat!

    The gospel according to... ???

    I've given you more than enough evidence to prove your doctrine is false, undisputable evidence! But you will dispute anyway, so be it!

    The gospel according to... ???

    Steven, when you are ready to renounce the UR, thereby coming back into fellowship with the Brethren, we will accept you with open arms, my friend! I cannot sit by and pretend that you are not causing harm with this UR thing, and with it affecting many other things we hold dear to our faith! I...

    The gospel according to... ???

    He certainly will not! We are saved by Grace through faith, not by doctrinal knowledge! You can get all the doctrines wrong, but if you get Christ right, Brother, you belong to Him. So what? You believed a false doctrine, but by the Grace of God, you no longer do! It's the "false" in any...

    The gospel according to... ???

    Brother, that's exactly what it is! Placing doubt with an agenda in mind. It has to be confronted, we can't ignore it as if it's not taking place!

    The gospel according to... ???

    Steven, I can't say here what comes to mind, that would be the old Charlie rearing his ugly head. But I will say this! I'm sorry that I become so angry when I see posts like this, and i know there are many that look down me because of it, but it breaks my heart to see these things, knowing it's...

    A question for my fellow universalists

    "The great cloud" I suppose are the rest of us who are saved underneath the elite JW's. I may make this my next project, if I have the time!

    A question for my fellow universalists

    I'm just trying to show the people this whole thing with the UR is a dream, and there's no truth in it. I truly wish there were some truth in it, but there's not!
  19. Charlie24

    A question for my fellow universalists

    Some aren't going to like this, but the truth is truth, regardless of how they feel! Remember in the thread I started when I said that the UR scholars are ignorant to Scripture? I know that's harsh, but not without reason. Let me show you how ignorant they really are. I'm picking on them...

    When will the "sudden destruction" from which "they will not escape" referenced in 1 Thess 5:2-3 occur and what is the scope of it?

    Brother David, if you think that I'm referring to God's wrath during the Great Tribulation to be poured on the born-again, you have misunderstood me. If you are saying that God does not pour out His wrath on unbelieving man during the Great Tribulation, then we disagree. There are many verses...
