    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    Because it was hidden from them. No where does it say he changed his appearence so they wouldn't recognize them. The Watchtower again reads into the scriptures with their own theology putting things in there that it does not say

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    The problem is JW as well as other groups redefine words in symbolic meanings to justify their doctrines. For example, even though the book of Revelation clearly defines the 144,000 as Jews from the 12 tribes of Israel and male virgins, the literal meaning is redefined into a symbolism to mean...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    Yes Gods power and Jesus is God and King so He has that power. And John the Baptist was literally talking and applying that verse from Isaiah directly and specifically to Jesus and Jesus alone as clear as day. And since that verse refers to God you understand how John as well as every writer in...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    In the very Next chapter in Isaiah, YHWY is called Mighty God as well as in Jeremiah 32:17-18. Mighty God is translated from the Hebrew word Elohim which is a common name for God in the Old Testament. Elohim is portrayed as the Sovereign governor of the Universe. In Isaiah 40:3 Jesus is called...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    Because he's in His resurrected body. Acts 2:31 "he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption." Why didn't His flesh "see corruption?" Because Jesus was raised from the dead on a material fleshly body. In the NWT we read in John 2:19-21: "9 Jesus replied to them: “Tear down...

    What if atheists had a missionary service?

    Yes, hi I'm with the atheists witnesses. We believe you have no true meaning or purpose in life, that sometimes bad things will happen without any meaning so you just have to suck it up, that when a loved one dies, you'll never see then again, and that your not special, just more evolved than a...

    If anyone believes in materialism then they must also believe we have no free will as the two go hand in hAnd

    Which religion's God is the most superior than all the other religion's God?

    The law of non contradiction states two contradictory things cannot both be true. And since all religions contradict each other, if one religion is right then all others are thereby wrong. I believe that Christianity is the one religion set apart as true for many reasons.

    X-MEN movies are Gay AGENDA?

    I'm against gay marriage but I never thought gay agenda watching the movies. Were there even any gay characters in the movies? Sometimes people go too far in seeing things that they want to see I guess

    Umm he IS called Mighty God... "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    Your right I guess all these scriptures are wrong... :p A Comparison of YHWY and JESUS to Show There Same Identity Description as YHWY (I AM) As used of YHWY: Exodus 3:14 Deuteronomy 32:39 Isaiah 43:10 As used of JESUS: John 8:24 John 8:58 John 18:4-6 Description as God As used of YHWY: Genesis...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    John 1:1 So the Watchtower argues that since the second occurrence of theos ("God") in John 1:1 has no definite article ("the") it this refers to a lesser deity who simply has godlike qualities. But must theos ("God") without the ho ("the") refer to someone less than Jehovah? By no means! The...

    Saved by grace (Ephesians 2:8-9) - "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast." (Rom. 3:20, 28) - "because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    Jesus was crucified on a cross. 1. Stauros can mean multiple things like a "T" an "X" along with the rare upright stake. 2. It says Jesus had nails (more than one) in his hands. If it only was a stake, they would have used only one. 3. It's said his arms were "outstretched" meaning stretched...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    Because people have to choose Jesus. Those who don't end up in hell. If works are in involved that means Jesus death on the cross was meaningless. Faith plus works is unbiblical to the Nth degree. And I don't think they had birth control pills hundreds if years ago so how could they?

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    Based on your scripture which is not just biased but even deceitful. The Watchtower will pay a heavy price at the judgement leading people astray like that. I pray your not one of them when the bell tolls and the trumpets sound...

    Watchtower Governing Body: Are They The Exclusive Channel For God??

    Problems with the Doctrine of Purgatory As a Christian who bases spiritual truth on the Bible alone, I see problems with the doctrine of purgatory. For example: It is not explicitly found in the Bible. It implies that the righteousness of Christ does not cleanse from all sin. It implies that...
