    Does Elisha use magic?

    i guess any supernatural power can be viewed as magic. Whether its black magic or not depends on which God/god is behind it.

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

    I can see that. In the same passage he also asked that his disciples all be one in the same manner. So you know, its not like being 'one' means being of the same essense as that person. A husband and wife are said to be 'one' in scripture too. It doesnt mean they are the same person.

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

    Moses was made leader of the nation. That means he was in a position of authority. If you meant some other meaning when you say 'authority' i didnt get it.

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

    My belief is based on the scriptures and Jesus own words that he is the 'son' of God. He never claimed to be his 'Father' The trinity doctrine comes from some other source, not from Jesus or the Apostles, therefore it is not a christian concept.

    Trusting the Bible

    the point is that the original word is 'ra, that is the word being translated. Ra has various meanings. And the way we generally undestand 'evil' is not necessarily conveying the same idea. Translating into modern english only began in recent history. People still use the KJV because it...

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

    the trinity doctrine may be correct from the point of view as a theological doctrine. But its certainly not a doctrine based in scripture. Thats why I call it a false christian doctrine. If it has no basis in scripture, then its not christian.

    Trusting the Bible

    the word 'evil' is english. In the scriptures, the hebrew word is 'ra and it is a word used in various ways including “bad,” “gloomy,” “ugly,” “evil,” “calamitous,” “malignant,” “ungenerous,” and “envious,” Any of the above words might be ok depending on the context. God can bring evil...

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

    Moses was in authority. The Apostles were in authority. The high priest of Isreal was in authority. I guess the reason why God puts some in authority is because he does not deal with every human one on one. He has always appointed someone to be in authority, and allows them to do the...

    Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses?

    Yes. That is what the early bible students thought would happen. They didnt take into account Matt 24:8 All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.

    Trusting the Bible

    having different versions is not the issue. Actually if anything, having different versions help us to get a good idea of the verse. Some translators put a phrase in such a way that it helps us really grasp the meaning. So i dont mind different translators phrasing things slightly...

    Trusting the Bible

    well, fortunately there are many people who can read hebrew and greek, and while we do rely on them to translate for us, we can be very confident that they are able to do so very accurately.

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

    actually you said you had silenced me many times.... What makes you think you silenced me and I didnt just decide not to debate with you? Thats why I said I dont throw my pearls before 'piggypoos' Its a matter of interpretation. You see the scriptures as being completely literal, we...

    Trusting the Bible

    well lets put it this way, if you wrote me a letter, and I asked someone to translate it into a different language, is what you wrote wrong because the translation came out skewed? Obviously you'd say no. What you wrote was exactly what you wanted to write Its just that the person who...

    Trusting the Bible

    Those who translate the bible can be wrong. But that doesnt make the word of God wrong. If we misunderstand a figure of speech, it doesnt make the figure of speech wrong...it just means that we have applied the wrong meaning to it. And that can happen, there is no doubt about that. You know...

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

    Your arguments come down to interpretation. Thats why im not going to continually debate them with you. From what i remember of our past discussions, you have the idea that the restoration is going to a phyiscal kingdom located in Jerusalem (correct me if i'm wrong) Whereas our...

    Are u going to leave USA now?

    I dont think you should be tarring everyone with the same brush. Not all Christians against homosexual practices are violently opposed. If i say i dont approve of it, that is not violent opposition. If I say it is against Gods law, that is also not violent opposition.
