    Critical thinking used by believers about their own belief

    That was a statement given by the apostle Paul to the Corinthian congregation. By then the Christian congregation had been clearly established. For further information on how this developed a good Bible book to read would be the book of Acts.

    Critical thinking used by believers about their own belief

    Even the Bible admonishes us to test to see whether we are in the faith: "Keep testing whether you are in the faith; keep proving what you yourselves are. Or do you not recognize that Jesus Christ is in union with you? Unless you are disapproved."-2 Corinthians 13:5. Of course these words are...

    I found something I still HATE.

    There are certain things that we should hate. We are given the admonishment not only to love what is good, but we have to hate what is bad. Since the fallen flesh tends towards evil, one can love what is good, but they can struggle to hate what is bad. The Pslamist said: "O you who love...

    It's Not Rocket Surgery

    There are a variety of talents/skills/intelligence, whatever you prefer to call it, that people have. The IQ test itself isn't a good indicator of a person's intelligence, rather his ability to learn. A person taking an IQ test over and over can eventually score very high on it just by...

    How many can say...

    I get what you're trying to say, there is never a need to say something bad about anyone. Even if you can say something bad about them. I knew a dear sister (older lady in the truth) who was known for finding something good to say about everyone. Well one time someone asked her, but what good...

    Jesus allows no divorce for his followers why?

    Paul was a Jew, in fact he was a Pharisee, of the house of Benjamin: “Circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born from Hebrews; regarding law, a Pharisee.”-Philippians 3:5. Paul’s words make up part of the holy writings of truth and were...

    Jesus allows no divorce for his followers why?

    That the Christian congregation was put under divine inspiration to follow Jesus’ words regards divorcing just look at the Christian scriptures. For example Romans 7:3: So, then, while her husband is living, she would be called an adulteress if she became another man’s. But if her husband dies...

    Jesus allows no divorce for his followers why?

    Can you quote where Jesus said a divorcing was wrong? It is found in the beginning of Matthew 19. If you look at the context it was the religious leaders, the Pharisees, that asked him in verse 3, if it was lawful for a man to divorce on every sort of grounds. Now in the law to Moses a...

    Free Will

    Don’t know if this is what you were looking for, but this is what I’ve come to discern about free will. Firstly we are created in the image of our God who has his own mind and makes his own decisions. And he bases all of his actions on his sense of what is right and wrong, what is just and...

    Open to anyone: Question about Barabbas in the gospels.

    Interesting. I did a look at some other translations and most do not say "Jesus Barabbas." Rotherham Matthew 27:16 16Now they had at that time a distinguished prisoner, called Barabbas. King James Version Matthew 27:16 16And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. Byington...

    Open to anyone: Question about Barabbas in the gospels.

    Pardon me as I am late to the party and see there are 4 pages already. So perhaps someone already pointed this out to you. The very first scripture you quote here gives you Barabbas' name. It is Jesus. He was called Jesus Barabbas. Jesus is the Greek name for Joshua. And they both mean...

    Children of God

    It is true that all humankind, and even the angels all owe their family names to God: "For this reason I bend my knees to the Father, 15 to whom every family in heaven and on earth owes its name."-Ephesians 3:14, 15. This is due to the fact that he created us all. Humankind is the offspring of...

    Children of God

    Of course not. Jesus is not God, but God's son. And he is to have adopted brothers, these adopted sons of God: "Because those whom he gave his first recognition he also foreordained to be patterned after the image of his Son, so that he might be the firstborn among many brothers."-Romans 8:29...

    Shakespeare?

    If you speak another language read it in that language. I found this to be the case in my experience. I watched movie Much Ado About Nothing subbed in Spanish once and understood it perfectly. Whoever translated the Shakespearean English did it into perfectly understandable Spanish. I was amazed...

    It Makes sense for White People to Embrace Odinism and Other White-Centric Religions

    There is a time for everything under the sun. A time for peace, and a time for war. A time to let live, and a time to kill. God would not be a war God if he didn't have to be. The rebellion against his sovereignty and wicked angels and wicked humans who are ruthless and evil cause Jehovah to...

    Question to the Jehovah's Witness

    Looks like you answered your own question. As far as what Jehovah's Witnesses believe, it is in the Bible. They don't interpret scripture. They just apply what it says. For example when it says: "So then Yahweh God formed man [of the] dust of the ground, and breathed in his nostrils the breath...

    What does the face of God look like?

    Moses once asked to see the face of God. But Jehovah told him that no human could look on his face and live: (Exodus 33:20) But he added: “You cannot see my face, for no man can see me and live.” In Revelation we are told that those who go to heaven to rule with Jesus as kings forever will be...

    Basis of Belief

    I’ll chime in. My beliefs are based upon the Holy Scriptures found in what is commonly known as the Bible. Over decades of study and investigation I have found much convincing evidence of its divine authorship, including accurate archeological details, reliable prophecy, historical accuracy, and...

    The Flood & Worldwide Festivals of the Dead — the connection.

    Many people who celebrate these ancient festivals Oh, that’s right, It had Noah in the name. Okay, so I guessed you moved on from that. Getting back to the OP, I bring this to people’s attention from time to time, not often mind you. That so many of these ancient celebrations of the dead...
