The preachers I've seen preach/teach out of the Bible. Even those "money preachers" that I don't care for preach out of the Bible. That doesn't mean anything at all, really. You can prove just about anything with Bible verses. It all depends on interpretation.

Either you are a babtized Jehovah's Witness, or you are not. Which is it? I am leaving to meet people for a couple hours right now.

I am not a Jehovah's Witness at all. I never said I was. Did you mean to ask this question to savagewind? I am a Baptist. I was Baptized a Baptist in 1983.

Answer me this and I will give you a strait answer. What does a person have to do before being baptized a Jehovah's Witness?

I think he meant to ask me. I think I should apologize for going off topic with him but he is making me smile large. So sorry.

They make walk through fire and if you don't come out with enough injuries they make you do it again. ;)
Actually I think they make you get in line with Jehovah's Witness thought which is Governing Body interpretation of scripture. But he said they don't choose what we should think. So? It is a mystery.

It is funny that he says the Bible makes everything very clear and it is all we need.

You agree that the truth does not lie? That’s a good start. If you know how to compare doctrines between Christian denominations then you’ll be able to see which one is lying or telling the truth. There is such thing as “True Christian”.
no, you only see the differences between interpretations.
I agree, there is such a thing as a "True Christian".
Too bad there is no way for anyone to prove what they think is a "True Christian" actually is a "True Christian".
So we are stuck with egotists pointing out differences in beliefs and claiming what is different from theirs is NOT "true".

I seriously doubt that any one will be able to prove their version is the honest to god one true version.
And until one version can be verified beyond wishful thinking, all the egotists are doing is pointing out differences.

I think it makes a difference if one is in denial about its historical roots. Since the question was asked does Christmas have anything to do with Christ....I would say...historically not much given it's an amalgamation of multiple pagan rituals and customs.
And what if, like I suspect most here, they could give less than two cricket farts about the origins?
