Does Christmas have anything to do with Christ?

[MikeSavage]

If you prefer to full of crap that is up to you.
I said full of bold empty claims.
I would ask if you care to substantiate any, but you have already made it clear you are all about the bold empty claim.


Because it is claimed your god is all about the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Anything less than a direct answer to a direct question is dishonest.

So i make the assumption if it is true that your god is about the truth and does not give direct answers to direct questions, he must not be around to hear the the question, give an answer, or both.

Your assumtions are incorrect. All of them. And as much as you feel you have to deny it, He is your God as well as mine. Nothing you say or do can ever change that.

 

[Shak34]

I believe the phrase is "plumb full of crap", not plump full of crap. Why, though, do you think you can directly ask Him a question and expect an answer, as though you were having a conversation?

I am really curious. How do you believe/expect God to answer?

 

[McBell]

Bold empty claim.
Now since we both know you are not about to substantiate anything...

And as much as you feel you have to deny it, He is your God as well as mine. Nothing you say or do can ever change that.

I cannot help but wonder who it is you are trying to convince, me or yourself?

 

[MikeSavage]

The question is really, how do YOU believe/expect God to answer?

 

[Shak34]

How would a jehovah witness teach that God answers questions?

 

[McBell]

The question is really, how do YOU believe/expect God to answer?

One wonders if you read the scriptures with the same style you presented here...

It would explain a lot.

 

[MikeSavage]

How would a jehovah witness teach that God answers questions?

I wouldn't teach that. They would learn that on their own, as they matured spiritually, and God, through Jesus, provided an answer through various methods. If it's that important to you, go to the web site and research the question in the publications section. It's a lot easier, than for me to attempt getting you to understand the answer, and a lot more beneficial for you.

I can not believe how hard it is to get a to the point answer out of you. How does the jw religion believe they get answers from God.

It is a tactic that relies on plausible deniability.
If he never directly commits to anything, he can honestly deny ever holding the paint brush.

In other words, it is nothing more than pigeon chess with big fancy words.

You have the only answer I am going to give you. If you want further clarification, research it. I am not here to answer to your beck and call. You are not a true believer, and therefore I am under no obligation to treat you as such. When I teach, it is in stages. Baby food, then moderate food, then adult food. You haven't even tasted the baby food yet.

Even without holding a paint brush, he painted his true colors very well.

 

[MikeSavage]

Yes, as a righteous servant of God the Almighty, and you've painted yourself with your true colors also.

 

[Shak34]

Yes, as a righteous servant of God the Almighty, and you've painted yourself with your true colors also.

Yes, and my colors are beautiful. Thank you for noticing.

 

[MikeSavage]

Yes, and my colors are beautiful. Thank you for noticing.

Not from where I am sitting. Mighty abhorrent.

 

[Willamena]

An idea from another thread, does Xmas have anything to do with Christ?

Yes. Hence the name.

(It bore repeating.)

Who said I needed refinement? I certainly never said I needed any. We all do though, as we are all imperfect.

Is it only my imagination or are you sitting on both sides of the fence at the same time?

My God not yours, baby food or carrots, you die before you see him.
Cheeeeeesssseeeeeweeeeee.....play yard crap !

It is your imagination, or your misunderstanding of scriptures, or both.

 

[savagewind]

No not scripture. Human nature. You said "Who said I needed refinement? I certainly never said I needed any. We all do though, as we are all imperfect." See how you say you (didn't say) you needed refinement" and we all need refinement? You being a part of the all need refinement so you DO say you need refinement.

 

[Reverend Rick]

I don't see the big deal, Winter Solstice, Yule, Haunika, Christmas, it's all good. Only a fool would believe Jesus was born on December 25th.
