Religion & Spirituality - 29 November 2007

One day when I did go to a congregational church, the preacher said something in his sermon that really pissed me off and I gave him a mean look and walked out. I have never went back there again and won't answer the phone when that church calls me.

... one man was looking around helplessly. I joined in to find that 4 very young men were defending the J.W. movement to him and were very angry.
When I was very young I met a young man who got very incited when I tried to explain a theory to him . I yelled and swore at him because he was just being mean and not letting me talk.
I've since met some very nice J.W.'s and enjoyed thier company. I was raised to respect people of all walks.
Query ; Why do people get so riled up over salvation?
I mean If I tell you that I'll pray 4 U , does it make sense to be offended?

My mother believed and went to church every sunday for 70 years when she died in her sleep she was clutching the bible. The reason i ask my question is if she believed so much why did god let her die with nothing, i don't believe in god and i own my own business home and three cars , married to a beatiful woman with two kids going to college in three years and we could not be happier, what is god doing that would make me stop doing what i'm doing and pick up a bible?

To Constantanople and the church moved with it?

The Catholic Chruch broke away from Constantinople and moved back to Rome to establish their own authority?

So than the Eastern Orthodox Church is the original Church.

If this is the case than why so many denominations of Christianity and why don't the baptists, Pentacostal and all Christians join Constantinople?

It seems to me (by way of the media, email, internet, etc) that those who believe that Jesus Christ is our Savior, he was born as the son of God and is Risen, are few and far between. I live in the 'Bible Belt' in a large metropolitan city. Here, nearly everyone I know goes to church and claims to be saved. What is the difference between so many of us in this area, and so many others in other parts of the country?

We non-protestant, non-catholics were slaughtered in every age since the 4th Century by those who professed to know Christ.

Even giving the Protestants, Orthodox & Catholics the benefit of the doubt for a moment that they are indeed Christian, then why do they ignore Jesus & Paul?


II Th 3:14-15
14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
(KJV)

So why have we been the enemy? Why have you burnt our forefathers and tortured them?

Even if we were the evil seed, does not our Lord teach us to let Him sort things out?



Matt 13:28-29
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
(KJV)

It can be so confusing to read, but when you ask questions, people here is R&S get offended and go off on the person posting the questions.

They say read the Word, but so much does not make sense.

And for you smart mouths, I am two semesters away from a graduate degree, so do not call me stupid.

you and God.? and, if you think that works is what gets us salvation
read
Ephesians 2:8-9
8 By this undeserved kindness, indeed, YOU have been saved through faith; and this not owing to YOU, it is God’s gift. 9 No, it is not owing to works, in order that no man should have ground for boasting.

turning in a time slip/reporting exactly how many hours you preached is not what i think jesus was talking about in this scripture. what do you think?

Will they look at you and say, You done everything that you could have to warn me.
Or will they look at you and say, Why didn't you tell me about this?
I am sure that many of us could say that we told them about Jesus, or "all my friends know that I am a Christian."But have we told them with an urgency, of the danger that they are facing?Do we love them enough to warn them about an eternal place of torment, or are we more concerned about how they feel about us?If they were walking into a burning building would we say "look at the fire" and leave it like that.
O' I know we can't make anyone be a Christian, but we shouldn't make them feel comfortable about not being one either.


PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE QUESTION BEFORE ANSWERING.

I don't like going to a congregational church, so I thought I would make my home into a sanctuary where I worship the lord. The only member would be me. That way it could just be god and me, so I don't have to worry about other people judging me and distracting me.

Plus, I am a quiet and reclusive person and feel most so called christian people wouldn't want me in their church anyway.

How did Joseph Smith carry home the golden plates of the Book of Mormon, and how did the witnesses lift them so easily? (They weighted about 230 lbs. Gold, with a density of 19.3 weighs 1204.7 lbs. Per cubic foot. The plates were 7” x 8” by about 6”. See Articles of Faith, by Talmage, page 262, 34th Ed.)

I asked this question earlier, for opinions in becoming a Muslims man second wife and everyone screamed POLYGAMY ! but he just told me that his marriage was done in another country and not valid here. under U.S. law, I would be his only wife, so what is your opinion ??

Give me your thoughts, has anyone done this ??

I see a lot of newer Witnesses poorly educated in Witness theology, almost no knowledge of older Witness history.
Is this a good or a bad thing?


They are changing their stand on Blood.
They are changing their understanding of when the gentile times actually ended.

How much "New Light" can you take before you start questioning whether this light EVER did come form God?
