    Who Are They?

    Re: Jehovah witnesses. Well all 4 of them are not written by Jesus' disciples. John, and Matthew were his disciples. Luke, however was an historian, and he says at the beginning of the book of Luke that he is writing to his friend Theophilus and that he has carefully investigated the accounts...

    Who Are They?

    Re: Jehovah witnesses. I like the Apocalypse of Peter. At the end Jesus tells Peter a BIG secret that (obviously) Peter spills the beans about. One of the reason it wasn't included in the Bible is for the same reason Jesus told Peter not to tell anyone. One thing a leader at my Church...

    Question

    While reading my Bible today I ran across a passage that instantly sparked my memory of this specific post. Here's what the passage said: Peter told them, "You know it is against the Jewish laws for me to come into a Gentile home like this. But God has shown me that I should never think of...

    Who Are They?

    Re: Jehovah witnesses. Well, what about Jesus? The New Testament contains the best documented texts ever written. There are thousands of sources to back up the Gospels. Jesus spoke of Moses. He even talked to him during the Transfiguration which is recorded in the books of Matthew, Mark, and...

    Who Are They?

    Re: Jehovah witnesses. Moses wrote the book of Genesis, but God told him what to write. This article talks about Moses being the writer of Genesis.

    Who Are They?

    Re: Jehovah witnesses. Well yeah, people and storytelling have been around long before Genesis was written. But that's not the point. The point is that Genesis is God's divine revelation of the beginning of the world. And what's wrong with believing Genesis to be literal history? It's written...

    Who Are They?

    Re: Jehovah witnesses. You know why the Genesis account is similar to these "myths" you refer to? It's because that is the true history of the world and over time different cultures around the world have passed the story down and over time the specifics changed. Similarly, there are many...

    Who Are They?

    Re: Jehovah witnesses. Well the way the entire book of Genesis is written is a book of history, not poetry or metaphor. It plainly states that the first 3 chapters are about the first people God created. The first historical humans in existence. Jesus himself talked of Genesis as it was...

    Where was Jesus from ages 13 to 33?

    Not only was He was the Messiah that the prophets foretold about, but he was God who created the world. That's a pretty big role. I think that most Jews probably don't see him that way.

    Who Are They?

    Re: Jehovah witnesses. Well, that's what the Bible clearly says :) Same with the Bible, the blame for sin is on both their shoulders, some people seem to want to blame Eve more for it, but Adam was right there and didn't stop her (the original Hebrew and King James Version says that Adam was...

    Re: Jehovah witnesses. Genesis 3:17-19 " 17 To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat of it,' "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of...

    Who Are They?

    Re: Jehovah witnesses. Are you reffering to Creation Museum - Creation, Evolution, Science, Dinosaurs, Family, Christian Worldview - Creation Museum or something else? You know, without doubts, faith would not exist.

    A few questions about Islam

    Wait, you say beating is not promoted in the Qur'an but then you say that hitting a wife is ok under certain circumstances . What's the boundary then between "beating" and "hitting"? To me both are the same action.

    can we agree that tormenting people for all time is wrong no matter what?

    Straight-up. The Holy Spirit is a person, not just a force. Here's some interesting points in this article I found about the trinity: 1. John 1 - "The Word was WITH God and the Word was GOD" - a VERY simple statement of pure-and-simple plurality-in-unity. 2. This Word (i.e. Jesus Christ)...

    can we agree that tormenting people for all time is wrong no matter what?

    You don't believe in the Trinity? Then why did Jesus say to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? Why after Jesus was baptized did the Holy Spirit come down on him after he was baptized? Why is blasphemy against the Father and Son forvigeable, but not blasphemy of the Holy...

    A few questions about Islam

    Someone told me a few things about Islam that I'm curious about if they are true or not. 1. The Quran says it's OK to lie if it promotes the religion in any way. 2. It's OK to beat your wife. 3. Women are inferior to men (made from a "crooked rib").

    why does god punish flawed creatures that he made forever

    dude, shadow, how many times do we have to answer this question? I know I've answered it countless times and you still can't accept it. I'm sorry to say but there's nothing else to say to you. Either you accept the truth or you don't. That's up to you, disciples of the Lord can only do so much.

    why does god punish flawed creatures that he made forever

    Look, you've been asking the same question over and over again. This is the truth as God himself revealed to us in his word: God made us perfect. We disobeyed God willingly (all of us). God said that disobeying him warrants us death and separation from him by sinning. Everyone sinned and...
