It was you who chose to play with words when you tried to turn what is evidently a prediction into what you call "a piece of advice".
Originally posted by galveston75Can any group of Christians who declare themselves to be in agreement with each other also declare themselves to have been predicted by Paul?

Originally posted by galveston75You have no clue and speak from sheer ignorance.....I think it's just gets old is all. Your style start a post ask a question not really wanting an answer other than your already preset answer. Don't ask the question if you think you already know the answer. Just tell us what the answer is instead of the coy act you put on. This is a forum but not your pulpit however.
I'm really beginng to see a thing or two about you Manny.
How can anyone who calls himself a Christian have so much hate you apparently have for JW's and who knows who else. You are getting clearer and clearer on that and hate is absolutly not a Christian trait. Would Jesus write down many of the things you have been writing here lately?
Do you reall crossing some lines that aren't so good.
Just my opinion and what I think I'm seeing...

Originally posted by FMFWell to humor you, yes. But you know as well as I do that does not exist with OTHER christian religions. And your sticking with that prediction idea? He never said it was a prediction did he? Did he say: "I think, or I feel or I hope or just maybe or it could happen or I predict". He stated a fact and one you will not admit because of the implications.

Originally posted by galveston75If he stated what he thought would be a "fact" in the future, then yes, it's a prediction. As for the "implications" of what he said, there are none for me. So I could hardly be wanting or not wanting to "admit" them. What interests me is that you seem to be saying that Paul's comment refers to you and your sect whereas, in fact, you are arguably the epitome of Christians who are not in agreement with other Christians.

Originally posted by FMFBecause we are not the same as other christians and they are not the same as us with beliefs. Two seperate groups. Jesus said that not all who call on him and profess to be his followers would be in his eyes.
You claim Paul said that Jesus' followers would be in agreement. But people in your sect do not speak in agreement with other followers of Jesus.
All the other christian religions disagree on so many things, even to the point of killing each other if their governments tell them too.
We do not disagree on any subject within the bible and it's teachings, thus that scripture and others that say the same are actually true.
Originally posted by FMFYou are correct that we are not in agreement and that is a great thing if one were to look at the record of their actions such as being involved in wars and the pagan teachings they have allowed to infiltrate their churches.

Originally posted by galveston75I am thankful that the founders of this country were Christians and not JW's... We would still be under British rule.

Originally posted by galveston75So are you saying that, in Paul's eyes - so to speak, that members of your sect are the only true followers of Jesus because you agree with each other?

We do ...[text shortened]... e bible and it's teachings, thus that scripture and others that say the same are actually true.
Originally posted by galveston75I don't see where you have quoted Paul as saying that followers of Jesus not being in agreement would be "a great thing".
