    If Hell is a place of eternal torment

    This is entirely correct IMO. Omnipotence means "all powerful" and there can only be one....the personage described in Psalm 83:18.....which in most Bible translations is completely meaningless... "that they may know that you alone, whose name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the...

    Syncretism.....Can Mixing Religious Ideas Lead to the Truth?

    The RCC is the mother church, formed over 300 years after the death of Christ, in circumstances ripe for the foretold and developing apostasy, it’s descent into the most evil behavior is clearly visible in history, stepping completely outside of the guidelines that Jesus set, they gained power...

    Historicity of Bible

    Romans 1: "Therefore, God, in keeping with the desires of their hearts, gave them up to uncleanness, so that their bodies might be dishonored among them. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for the lie and venerated and rendered sacred service to the creation rather than the Creator, who is...

    Historicity of Bible

    I guess scripture inspires me because of what it tells us about the past....we know where we came from...why we are here, what went wrong, and what will happen in the future to make everything right again. It inspires hope and gives comfort....along with giving us things to aspire to...

    Historicity of Bible

    To me it is both....why would God lie about what happened in the past? :shrug: History teaches us volumes.....:)

    Historicity of Bible

    Yes, it is a great story......but who said it can't be true just because archeologists are not terribly good at interpreting their evidence, nor it seems are they acquainted with nations (like Egypt) who only recorded their victories but never their defeats or embarrassments. Like I said, I have...

    Question about God and hell

    You don't think that the demons have this ability to impersonate the dead using those methods condemned by God to deceive people? Where do you think they learned to deceive so convincingly? o_O The woman had to describe this spirit to Saul. 1 Samuel 28:13-15.... "The king said to her, “Do not...

    Question about God and hell

    Yes...it describes the condition of the whole person, not just their body. For your consciousness to continue after death, you would need to retain your personality.....how can you retain being you if you are devoid of the things that made you who you were? Can I ask you where you were before...

    Historicity of Bible

    Sorry to be late to this thread but being in a different time zone can have its disadvantages...... Anyhow......Abraham is a good subject for discussion considering that his descendants are still alive and living in the world to this day, and that his lineage was an important record leading to...

    Question about God and hell

    Read verse 10 and it clarifies those previous verses.... "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going." (ESV) So the dead 'know nothing', 'do nothing', 'plan nothing' and cannot think or exercise...

    The Time Left Is Reduced!

    No matter which "clock" we go by....the time left is reduced. The Doomsday Clock has never been closer to midnight, so perhaps its "time" to check the "time".....whose clock will strike midnight first? :shrug: One leads to better times for some, at the hand of God.....the other leads to...

    Syncretism.....Can Mixing Religious Ideas Lead to the Truth?

    I understand all attempts to justify beliefs because we all do it, but because there is a ‘diamond’ (wheat) in the current pile of ‘broken glass’, (weeds) we have to have guidance to find the genuine article by those who know what the ‘diamond’ looks like. Only the “wheat” teach the...

    Syncretism.....Can Mixing Religious Ideas Lead to the Truth?

    This whole post is full of your own excuses LC....choose your path and you choose your destination. It’s really that simple. The clay does not get to dictate to the potter. I have said all I need to say on this. Making your excuses for rejecting God and his requirements, alters nothing. Does...

    Watchtower: Jesus is not "a god"!

    What did Jesus say? “Blind guides is what they are” and ‘if the blind lead the blind both will fall into a pit’. We have to let them fall because they are not interested in the truth, only in promoting their own flawed beliefs. “Shaking the dust off” is about all we can do.....Jesus will...

    Watchtower: Jesus is not "a god"!

    I recall some years ago reading about infusions of sea water being used in emergency situations during WW2 when blood was not always available, and it saved lives. Not an optimal solution but better than no solution at all apparently. Saline solution will keep plasma volume levels up so that...

    Syncretism.....Can Mixing Religious Ideas Lead to the Truth?

    We all make our decisions for a reason....God sees the reason that drives the decision as much as he sees the decision itself. Sometimes we are not aware of what drives us to believe something....at other time it is very obvious as to why we accept or reject a belief. I have a feeling that God...

    Some questions about evolution (genetics etc) and possible implications for creationism

    No matter how language changes...it will always be language......that was my point. Language will not evolve into telepathy. I think you mean that 'evolution does not want our belief'.....but it may see the need for it in the near future....just sayin'.....:D (read my signature)

    Watchtower: Jesus is not "a god"!

    Ignorance and false information is nothing new for Christians. In all my years of being a JW, I have never seen any of my brothers or sisters die from not receiving a blood transfusion. I have heard many in the medical profession threaten them with death if they refused one, but none actually...

    Do Jehovah's Witnesses believe in exorcisms?

    Jehovah's Witnesses acknowledge the activities of the demons who are more active than ever in their attempts to subvert the faith of Christians today as they face their eviction, along with their leader, satan the devil. (Revelation 12:7-12; Revelation 20:1-3) Exorcisms, as performed by some of...

    Syncretism.....Can Mixing Religious Ideas Lead to the Truth?

    The Bible answers all those questions for me, because I see nothing in isolation, but as part of one story....a small part of the big picture. Why did God confuse the language at Babel? To break up the first rebellion after the flood. The deluge was a necessary stop-gap measure to recalibrate...
