When he did not bring forth any signs produced in a supernatural way, which alone fittingly gives witness to divine inspiration; for a visible action that can be only divine reveals an invisibly inspired teacher of truth.

Its always women who say female angels are the best because they know how to relate to men. Angels can assume any shape they want, even human shape to get their message across. Would angels be considered alien beings from another world?

Adam and Eve are the first human beings, meaning their children had to have incest to reproduce the rest of the human family. Right? But incest is universally held as immoral, how can God justify it then and make it immoral now?

Since the WTS no longer teaches the above as "the truth", does this mean that the above teachings are false teachings? If so, does this mean that while the WTS taught the above as "truth", that they were really guilty of false teachings? How could the Watchtower Society ever be guilty of false teaching if it is Jehovah's organization and being directed by Jehovah God?

What is the difference? Can a religion also be a cult. I understand that Latter Day Saints is a cult because of its racist beliefs against the African race, because they force you to tithe, and because of their beliefs asserting that men will get their own planets when they die and have a harem. Mormonism sounds a lot like Islam.

and where did Mathew come up with this? Matthew 22: 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. This is not in the 16 or the 12 or the 10. Inquiring minds want to know from anyone who thinks the bible is infallible

What is the point of teaching Creationism in schools. It would literally take about 5 seconds to teach it. I will give you an example of a Creationism lesson. Infact, all you would need is just one lesson. "Ok class, today we will be learning the Theory of Creationism. God did it....... Thats it........ You can all go to recess now." And that would be it. Then teachers could go on to teaching evolution again.

Freedom of conscience is laid down by the Quran itself: 'There is no compulsion in religion'. (2:256)

The life and property of all citizens in an Islamic state are considered sacred whether a person is Muslim or not.

Racism is incomprehensible to Muslims, for the Quran speaks of human equality in the following terms:

O mankind! We created you from a single soul, male and female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may come to know one another. Truly, the most honored of you in God's sight is the greatest of you in piety. God is All-Knowing, All Aware (49-13)

"If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him." Deut. 18:22

The following is a list of false prophecies made by the Jehovah's Witnesses over the past century..


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1972 the Jehovah's Witness Watchtower claimed to be the prophet of God (The Watchtower, April 1, 1972, p. 197).
1897 "Our Lord, the appointed King, is now present, since October 1874," (Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 4, page 621).

1899 "...the battle of the great day of God Almighty' ( Revelation 16:14 ), which will end in A.D. 1914 with the complete overthrow of earth's present rulership, is already commenced." (The Time Is at Hand, page 101 (1908 edition)).

1916 "The Bible chronology herein presented shows that the six great 10000 year days beginning with Adam are ended, and that the great 7th Day, the 1000 years of Christ's Reign, began in 1873." (The Time Is at Hand, page ii, (forward)).

1918 "Therefore we may confidently expect that 1925 will mark the return of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the faithful prophets of old, particularly those named by the Apostle in Hebrews 11, to the condition of human perfection." (Millions Now Living Will Never Die, page 89).

1922 "The date 1925 is even more distinctly indicated by the Scriptures than 1914." (The Watchtower 9/1/22, page 262).

1923 "Our thought is, that 1925 is definitely settled by the Scriptures. As to Noah, the Christian now has much more upon which to base his faith than Noah had upon which to base his faith in a coming deluge." (The Watchtower, p. 106 4/1/23).

1925 "The year 1925 is here. With great expectation Christians have looked forward to this year. Many have confidently expected that all members of the body of Christ will be changed to heavenly glory during this year. This may be accomplished. It may not be. In his own due time God will accomplish his purposes concerning his people. Christians should not be so deeply concerned about what may transpire this year." (The Watchtower, 1/1/25, page 3).

1925 "It is to be expected that Satan will try to inject into the minds of the consecrated, the thought that 1925 should see an end to the work." (The Watchtower, Sept, 1925 page 262).

1926 "Some anticipated that the work would end in 1925, but the Lord did not state so. The difficulty was that the friends inflated their imaginations beyond reason; and that when their imaginations burst asunder, they were inclined to throw away everything." (The Watchtower, page 232).

1931 "There was a measure of disappointment on the part of Jehovah's faithful ones on earth concerning the years 1917, 1918, and 1925, which disappointment lasted for a time...and they also learned to quit fixing dates." (Vindication, page 338).

1941 "Receiving the gift, the marching children clasped it to them, not a toy or plaything for idle pleasure, but the Lord's provided instrument for most effective work in the remaining months before Armageddon." (The Watchtower, 9/15/41, page 288).

1968 "True, there have been those in times past who predicted an end to the world', even announcing a specific date. Yet nothing happened. The end' did not come. They were guilty of false prophesying. Why? What was missing?..Missing from such people were God's truths and evidence that he was using and guiding them." (Awake, 10/8/68).

1968 "Why are you looking forward to 1975?" (The Watchtower, 8/15/68, page 494)

The excuse often given for these false prophecies has been to quote Proverbs 4:18 :"But the path of the righteous ones is like the bright light that is getting lighter and lighter until the day it is firmly established."

However, this is not a valid excuse as it in no way refers to the making of false prophecies, but rather refers to the growth in faith of the righteous

Think about it. It doesn't make sense. If the idea of God is totally wrong and there is no God then we never should have had the idea of God. It should have never crept in to man's mind. Really, you think that finite man can invent somthing so profound? I don't think so.

They believe it is like a flu shot in the since that they said a prayer once and they can live how they want. Alot of people say oh yeah i prayed that prayer i am saved and live like they have never received a command before. When we come to God we give Him total surrender of our lifes. We repent (turn from) of our sins. A Christian is a person who continues to repent and continues to believe. We continually grow in holiness and righteousness. Were are New Creations in CHRIST JESUS.

Then why does He say "yes" to cancer patients, people who are recovering from drugs/bad relationship/booze/gambling, safe travels, money problems, and other relatively insignificant prayers?

And then He says "No" and/or "Later" to prayers like world peace, end of hunger, cures for disease.

How come He says "yes." to the San Antonio Spurs, and "No" to His chosen people's pleas for peace for say, oh I don't know 4,000 years or so?

So my real question is, how can you believe any God is answering your prayers with the quality and quanity of fulfilled prayers?

What do you think God wants from you?.I will tell you what I have found out.To love Jesus ,God the father and the Holy Spirit with all your heart and soul to love everyone ,.to forgive everyone.To not be a phoney.Be yourself .That is who you are ,If any changes need to be made that is God's job .To be in fellowship with Jesus.To listen and obey the Holy Spirit as best as you can.Worship praise and thank Jesus for what you have.And to not judge others because that may have been you.To trust Jesus with your life the best you can.To have fellowship with other Christians as the Holy Spirit directs.And it sure is better to live a sermon than to give a sermon.And to be humble and admit when you messed up. What is your take???God bless everyone.Love Cindy.
