10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
Originally posted by galveston75There must be a deeper meaning to this verse. Surely it can't mean that believers agree on everything.

quote:
VATICAN CITY -- In an address before over 250,000 followers assembled outside St. Peter's Basilica, Pope John Paul II reaffirmed his commitment to global religious unity, calling upon the world's Roman Catholics to "build a bridge of earthly friendship" between themselves and the eternally damned.

Originally posted by galveston75Obviously you could not be referring to unity in the JW faith. Judging from some recent threads it is apparent that the WT are making statements that you and Robbie dont sanction.

Originally posted by galveston75The majority of Christians believe in a triune God in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Why should the majority change to agree with the minority cult teachings of the WTS just for unities sake? It is the Jehovah's witnesses that should change to agree with the rest of Christianity on this very import matter.
I'm not aware I've disagreed with anything the WTS has said....

If the majority are right then lets talk about history ok? How about Germany? Japan or any other society that believed beyound any doubt that they were right and even blessed by some God or spirit world.
Or how about the biggest christian religion, the catholics? Are they right in all they do and all do the things those scriptures I posted about what God requires from his people? Hardly....
So you are sure about the majority being right?
Were God's people in the past the majoriuty of the world or even the biggest nation around them?
Think about this for a bit as the Bible clearly says the vast majority of people "would not" find the road, the narrow and cramped road that leads to life. Put the peaces togather that even your bible explains.

This response to dive's question does not add to your credibility here. That's a simple fact, I hope you recognize it as such.
I have answered and posted many things that explain our view. I have not ignored this subject at all as has neither Robbie.
If anything we have bent over backwards in trying to explain over and over and over.
The problem is two fold here.
Either no one understands our postings and explinations by way of simply not understanding or they refuse to understand because of bias or hard headedness.
I can do no more and refuse to spend anymore time on this unless someone messages me with honest questions without any nonsense involved.
So I'm sorry no one here seems to get it. I've done all I will do and say on this subject, period.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves teachers in accordance with their own lusts.
