What the heck is this supposed to mean?
This is the same as saying that I am my fathers son but I'm also my father.
What????? Are you really serious that this makes sense in any possible way?
This is the same as saying that I am my father's son and I'm also man.
If my father was God instead of man, then I too would be God instead
of man. Humanity begets Humanity. Divinity begets Divinity.
That is the way it works, like it or not.

I have been thinking about the question of this Thread.
I think that since the Bible is a living book and the living Holy Spirit is needed to enlighten to men what God wants to speak, and at what varied times, I suppose what is ESSENTIAL may somewhat vary in different ages.
I think we need both the Holy Spirit and the apostles of the Lord to help il ...[text shortened]... er ESSENTIALS may vary slightly by the "up-to-date" burden of the Holy Spirit for a given AGE.
If you have to 'think' this and 'think' that, then I suggest that you have lost the teachings of Christ with your excessive study and analysis.

Pray for me then. I'll be looking to follow your pristine example of how a Christian should teach so as to defend at times, fierce attacks against his faith.
Lead by example for me .

Distinct does not have to be separate.
This is the example I mean.
The outline became less and less distinct as the light faded.
Don't ever become a school teacher as they'd laugh you out to the street the first day if you kept this up with explaining anything.
Originally posted by Rajk999IMO you need to do more study of the scriptures, but not with the JWs. 😏

without having the language skills to teach it to someone else. I suppose
that is where I am. I believe God will reward me for trying, anyway. 😏
Originally posted by jaywillNo. We JWs have amnesia again. Let's go round and round the
I think in the past I posted a extremly BASIC thread about calling on the name of Jesus to touch Jesus.
Perhaps I should revize it. Am I right ? Does anyone remember such a thread about CALLING on the name of Jesus to experience Jesus ?
merry-go-round again. Hahaha. 😀 Jost kidding.
Originally posted by jaywillThere is no need to defend anything. First, why bother to discuss biblical matters with those who ridicule and laugh at Christians. As Christians we are told clearly to walk away from those who are not interested in Christ and his teachings.
LOL ! Like Paul maybe who they said had gone "mad" ?

Second, the essential teachings of Christ and Paul are very simple; actually far less complicated than your writings. There is an unnecessary complicatiing element built into much of what you write. I dont know what it is and maybe you should just repeat word for word what Paul and Christ said and that has the added advantage of avoiding apostacy.
Well .. thats what I do anyhow. It works for me and maybe it wont for you.
Originally posted by RJHindsNone of us have to be great teachers. What we have to teach though is the truth and in a truthful way and certianly not what is our opinion or what we think it is.

The bible clearly says that his followers would all be in "agreement" and not out thinking and teaching whatever they think is the truth on their own.
Not that all things you believe are wrong but many are and it's because your'e not in a Brotherhood of any kind to learn from others ands pray with others. The Bible is very clear on this even by saying his spirit can be with two or more in this context. So what you know is what your opinion is and it's way off on a few things and it will never get better.
Originally posted by galveston75He was a perfect man physically and that is the result of Jehovah being his father. So nothing new here so I've missed nothing. But he still could have sinned if he had choose too.
Still no comments on this????
So he was in no way God who cannot sin at all as you yourself stated. So explain this with the trinity....
Where's the other trinity experts? Any thoughts on this?
