-Removed-I'm talking specifically about the act of not murdering. If you wish to re-bundle that as being a pacifist that's fine.
Exodus 20
13 “You shall not murder.
You know this anyway, nobody that believes in Jesus as you do, will be ignorant of the prohibition to take life. Are you trying to lay a trap DG?
@ghost-of-a-duke saidGood Sir I only ask that in case there was a subtlety in the question of a divinity that I may not be aware of.
I'm waiting for Galverston to agree with the founder of his church, that Jesus was divine, and then to explain why this divinity isn't worthy of worship.
If you fragment divinity, isn't that the slippery slope to polytheism? Can you have varying levels of divinity? - Jesus was divine,....but not quite as divine as God.
It's all very messy.
We probably both agree on what divinity is, I just didn't want to assume.
Over to you Galveston I think?

Yes obviously Mr. @ghost-of-a-duke will never agree or accept any answer I give. So I've wasted way too much time trying to shut him up. Lol.
And I appreciate your comment on our neutrality with wars. I've commented before to a poster here that didn't like that we would not fight for our country.
He lived in Europe some where. Anyway I made it clear to him that if he or any of his family in his country were killed in a war ...it would not have been a JW that killed them.

@galveston75 saidWait now this is suppose to be a discussion not to try and shut someone up. That is the point of Forums is to have different opinions, also one can agree or disagree, but it really doesn't need to be an argument or shut anyone up.

@galveston75 saidYou've said previously that a child from your church could answer my questions, and yet struggle to do so yourself.

How odd.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidWill it be a face to face meeting? π
He may need a few weeks to muster the courage.
I give free lessons if it comes to blows. π

@very-rusty saidI was actually trying it to be a joke. But I'm apologizing to him here and hope he understands that.... Sorry if I offended him.
