    What would a "I Corinthians Christian Nation" look like?

    I guess it comes as a revelation to many "Christians" that we have no business forcing our beliefs and rules on anyone in a political sense. "The world" is something we were told to be "no part" of. (John 15:18-21) I believe that this applies in every negative way....morally, physically and...

    How Do You Understand The Gospel?

    We cannot rely on "hermeneutical interpretation" because this is Christendom's version of events. None of that gels with the entirety of scripture. The Bible does not contradict itself, nor does it present the Father as a fiend who tortures anyone for any reason. The highest penalty a person...

    How Do You Understand The Gospel?

    Thanks. It helps to know the beliefs of the one you are conversing with. Is there a reason you do not identify your faith position? Luke 16 is a parable, not a factual account. Luke 16:19-31......“Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, joyously living in...

    What would a "I Corinthians Christian Nation" look like?

    I agree.....it seems like the law of the land was supposedly based on the law of God to begin with....but humans, being what they are by nature, are more inclined to alter the laws of the land to suit their chosen lifestyle. The laws of God are not really taken into consideration much at all...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    Not sure if I am still on ignore.....but happy to answer for the benefit of others. This is where understanding covenants and how they were implemented, helps to understand how they work. A mediator is defined as "one who interposes between two parties at variance to reconcile them; an...

    Let the innocent children suffer

    You asked the questions...I provided the Bible's reasonable answers. Is it only answers that agree with your own view that you invited? Perhaps you should have specified that in the OP......only those who share your negative and sceptical view of God need respond. :rolleyes:

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    Yes, and when I check the scriptures I see how right he was. There is no hellfire or trinity taught by Jesus. Yes, there was no divine revelation, no angelic visitations, no visions....just stirrings within the hearts of these men to investigate the scriptures to see if what Christendom taught...

    Let the innocent children suffer

    Nah...no mystery. The Bible gives a clear explanation. He gives us reasons for why he does everything. No suffering is good, but sometimes we suffer because there is healing after the suffering and the part that hurts the most is the part that fixes the damage. Have we ever allowed our...

    What would a "I Corinthians Christian Nation" look like?

    What would a 1 Corinthians Christian Nation look like? Interesting question. o_O And you are right......ALL of the things Paul mentioned are equally wrong in God's eyes......but then you didn't really think the U.S. was a Christian nation in the first place....did you? I could give you an...

    Did Satan Trick God?

    You have to fit this scenario into the big picture which began in Eden. Why did satan challenge Job's integrity in the first place? He had already managed to deceive the first woman into disobeying the only command that carried the death penalty. But he was not actually targeting the woman, his...

    Blunder of the year?

    I actually cringe at the ugly Australians and their image portrayed in movies like The Castle......*shudders* What people in general have come to accept as "normal" in the realm of entertainment, I would balk at. The level of violence and the graphic depiction of it make an assault on the...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    Thank you. I often have to edit auto-corrected words on my iPad because it will substitute a word I never intended. Very frustrating sometimes. :p We do not see Russell as a "founder", even though others might....we see Russell and his companions as the ones who fulfilled the prophesy in...

    Blunder of the year?

    I'm an Aussie too mate...I'm just not a bloke. A friend can call me mate, but it feels wrong from someone I don't know. My definition of "adult things" might be a little different to what young people think they are. If something is "adult" today it doesn't mean it's for older or wiser...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    So the challenge is for us to sift through the the broken glass to find the diamond...it's there but it isn't on the top...its buried underneath. At the end of the day...we will all be where we have placed ourselves by our own choices. That is the only truth we need to know. We will all find...

    Blunder of the year?

    FYI I don't "play" anything and I am not a "mate". I actually have better things to do. I left off "playing" when I was a child. Surely we have passed the age of barbarity? The bloodlust remains even when the killing is not real. Desensitisation means we no longer respond to violence and...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    Jesus came as king in 1914....that is when the sign of his presence and the "last days" began. When he comes as judge you will know it...believe me. But what is the point of arguing with someone like you? You will never understand because you already think you have the answers...that's fine...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    That was a set up for YouTube. You honestly see this guy's motive as good? I see how patiently my brother and sister tolerated the rantings of this moron. We see two different things here. All I see is a deliberate attempt to humiliate my brothers who are peacefully sitting without harassing...

    JW's Jesus is Archangel Michael?

    JW's are not unacquainted with the activity of the demons. I myself have had experience with demonic harassment. But the casting out of demons was one of the empowerments of the holy spirit. This power was only passed along by the apostles because they served for time and a purpose (to...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    Would you like me to list them? Here are just some off the top of my head..... Why do the churches not preach like Jesus told us to? What is God's kingdom exactly? If Jesus told us to pray for it to "come"...how does it "come"? When does it come? Why does it say in God's law "thou shalt not...

    JW's Preach A Different Gospel

    Nothing like a good set up for YouTube is there? :rolleyes: There is so much that can be said about this guy's whole approach. He wasn't there to preach to the Witnesses...he was there to challenge them, humiliate them and to promote himself and his own version of Christianity and post it on...
