@galveston75 saidDo you think it takes more of an open heart to believe Jesus Christ was/is the Son of God or that Jesus was/is an angel?
Yep your heart is closed up. Can't help you there so it is what it is.
@pb1022 saidYep. That is essential to learn anything from the bible. If one is just dogmatic and unyielding to possibly learn something that maybe their missing from God's word, then two things happen. They are obviously stopping themselves from progressing and Jehovah backs off from helping them to progress spiritually. Why would he help someone who is closed up?

He is totally just leaning on his own thoughts and human ideas and is not willing to listen with the kind of heart Jehovah looks for.
A good, peaceful and humble heart can work wonders on progressing spiritually.
@galveston75 saidNot sure you answered the question I asked.

I asked if it took more of an open heart to believe Jesus Christ was/is the Son of God or Jesus was/is an angel, and your answer was “Yep.”
I agree with the rest of your post.
@galveston75 saidDo I look like I need your help?
Yep your heart is closed up. Can't help you there so it is what it is.
@galveston75 saidThe doctrine of the JWs is progress ? Lol .... nice one

@galveston75 saidWrong. What you describe there is the reason why cults such as yours continue to thrive. People like you ignore the bible and accept the foolishness the elders tell you. You were trying that with me. You want me to prove that Jesus is not Michael. I bet they told you that as well and you said you could have no proof and they said ... SEEEE ??? Then Jesus is Michael !!! And you opened your heart and closed you brain and the bible and agreed.

My guide is the teachings of Christ. Not some Watchtower moron.
The Bible’s answer
Michael, referred to by some religions as “Saint Michael,” is evidently a name given to Jesus before and after his life on earth.
Where is "Saint Michael" in the Bible?
Are you following "some religions" on this ??
Michael disputed with Satan after the death of Moses and helped an angel deliver God’s message to the prophet Daniel.
Telling what Michael did doesn't do anything.
The answer to the rhetorical question "To which of the angels . . . ?" in Hebrews is still a resounding "To NONE."
You're rebelling.
JWs are in rebellion.
@galveston75 saidI’m sure that you mean we’ll Galveston but can we not have essays mate. We can hardly criticise Sonship for doing the very same and not pull you up on the same point. Bite sized pieces are good.
Nothing new there at all. No mysteries. I completely agree.
Now before Gods son came to earth what was his name? Did he not have one? Seems rather odd don't you think that according to you he apparently had no name????
Read and learn something today........
