    Violent verses from Allah

    I always worry about religions when they say this, it is fine to have faith once you believe you have the truth but to get to the truth one needs to question.

    Proselytizing: What is it and is it a good or bad thing?

    Yes, unfortunately these days the term “proselytism” has been used to mean forcible conversion of one kind or another. The Bible does not support such a practice, nevertheless one could argue if one believes ones religion or denomination has the truth and by engaging with them is the only way to...

    Original Sin

    I don't think the term original sin is in scripture and if you think about it from a Christian viewpoint original sin began with Satan not with Adam. The sin committed by Adam and Eve was the sin of disobedience by eating the fruit from the only one tree in the garden they were instructed by...

    Why do Jehovah's Witnesses falsify the Bible?

    Sorry, have to disagree with you, if there is a god then I believe it is Yahweh and the only way to salvation is through Jesus Christ. You think differently and that is what 'free will' is all about but one of us is wrong. Perhaps you ought to do some research on impartial websites about...

    Is Jesus an angel?

    Don't respond well to bullies.

    Why do Jehovah's Witnesses falsify the Bible?

    That is weird because the same thing happened to me. I had been studying the scriptures on my own but Revelations thwarted me. From what I could understand it appeared only 144,000 people were going to heaven and that didn't seem to make sense. I kind of prayed to God and said I didn't...

    Is Jesus an angel?

    Sorry, not getting your point here. Of course Jesus was put to death in Jerusalem, the world we live in at the moment is spiritually like Sodom and Egypt.

    Why do Jehovah's Witnesses falsify the Bible?

    Just because there were and are other religions does not mean God is with them. Some of the Canaanites worshiped Baal and threw live babies into fire pits. I don't wish to be disrespectful but in my opinion Muhammad was a man who was thoroughly deceived. Also if I understand it correctly Muslims...

    Is Jesus an angel?

    That is because it hasn't happened yet!!!

    Is Jesus an angel?

    I think some of your information is incorrect,the prefix “arch,” meaning “chief” or “principal,” implies that there is only one archangel, the chief angel; in the Scriptures, “archangel” is never found in the plural. I don't think any of the other angels are called archangels, anyway it would be...

    Why do Jehovah's Witnesses falsify the Bible?

    As I said I love Ecclesiastes so I do understand the context and whilst I agree with what you say nevertheless if taken with other scriptures I think it is clear we do not 'have' a soul that drifts of to heaven when we die despite many people wanting this to be the case. Perhaps one needs to go...

    Why do Jehovah's Witnesses falsify the Bible?

    Why would an all powerful god need more than one book containing his word. Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 So if one uses your argument Jesus must have been lying here. For I testify unto every man that heareth...

    Why do Jehovah's Witnesses falsify the Bible?

    What makes you doubt? I really can't answer this question, I want to believe and maybe that concerns me, do I believe because I know there is a god or because I want it to be true? I ran away from a horrible home life when I was only 15yrs so have always relied on myself, maybe I find it...

    Why do Jehovah's Witnesses falsify the Bible?

    Sorry but I disagree with pretty much everything you claim and being agnostic I try to be objective. Much in the New Testament is for teaching and a warning for our time, I reiterate there can only be one truth. For example just imagine if God said "On January 20th 2022 all My people must draw a...

    Why do Jehovah's Witnesses falsify the Bible?

    I don't believe I did 'cherry pick' I suggested a number of verses not just one. When Lazarus was resurrected after being dead for four days he made no mention of having gone to heaven, something one would have expected him to be rather excited about and to have at least made some mention of...

    Why do Jehovah's Witnesses falsify the Bible?

    Yes, whatever the soul is it can obviously die, maybe it means the 'self' as opposed to the body. I have considered what it means when God gave man the "breath of life" but again if one looks at the scriptures it seems unlikely it is anything that is conscious. ....so man lies down and does not...

    Why do Jehovah's Witnesses falsify the Bible?

    Elohim was also used for groups of Canaanite gods, when it was used by Moses he used it to indicate the one God, it was a homonym, spelled and sounded the same but had a different meaning. As for personifying the Holy Spirit that is no evidence it means a person, the Bible also personifies...

    Why do Jehovah's Witnesses falsify the Bible?

    Thanks for that. I think there is an assignment on Cult Psychology coming up in my next module, must admit much preferring Philosophy despite getting distinctions in psychology modules I hate it.
