^LOL. YOU SEEM MORE OFFENDED THAN HIM.
MCLEANHATCH,
ARE YOU CATHOLIC CASUE THAT'S WHAT YOUR PARENTS ARE OR DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE IN WHAT THEY BASICALLY BELIEVE?
MIggIDY,
YOU STRESSED, "I understand you're not a JW but you share some of their ideals."
THESE ARE PERSONAL IDEALS. DON'T USE THEM TO ATTAK ME. LET'S SPEAK ON THE FACTS THEMSELVES. THEY OPENED MY EYES TO SEE CLEARLY.
THEN YOU STRESSED, "I've pointed this out to you before but I didn't get a response.
Anyway, I'm learning as I'm going. So I question everything that I find along the way."
BULLSHIT. THREAD PLEASE. I RARELY gO WITHOUT ANSWERIN' N-E POST. IT AIN'T MY STYLE.
THEN YOU STRESSED, "It is common in every version of the bible."
HOW YOU KNOW? WHAT IT SAY? AS FAR AS I'M CONCERN JOHN 2:26-27 DOESN'T EXIST.
gO CHEK IT OUT HERE:

THEN YOU STRESSED, "You doubt the scripture but there's history and archeology to back this up. JW's just have theories."
TO BAK WHAT UP? YOU TRYIN' TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHIN' AND AIN'T EVEN ADDRESSED IT. WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT? YOU LOST ME.
THEN YOU STRESSED, "But that doesn't change anything, JW's think that it is they whom are the only people who will be saved."
AND THAT'S HOW EVERY RELIgION THINKS AND SHOULD THINK IF THEY FEEL THEY ARE (gOD)'S PEOPLE.
THEN YOU STRESSED, "Cuz it isn't. We know how the word Jehova came to be.
It's a Protestant misinterpretation of YHWH...."
HOW DID IT CAME TO BE? HOW DO YOU KNOW THE PROTESTANTS DIDN'T DISCOVER THE RIgHT PRONUNCIATION? HOW YOU KNOW IT AIN'T THE RIgHT PRONUNCIATION? HOW ARE YOU PERSONALLY SO SURE?
THEN YOU STRESSED, "(By the way, I don't hate anyone)"
NOW THAT'S A gOOD THANg. gO HOLLA AND JUST ATLEAST PEEP gAME PLAYA. gO WITH ALL YOUR DOUBTS AND QUESTIONS.
THEN YOU STRESSED, "How is Satan and money Gods? Aren't they idols for some?"
IF YOU WORSHIP YOU MAKE SOMETHIN' YOUR IDOL. WHY YOU THINK (gOD) SPEAKS AgAINST IDOLATRY? BUT EVEN IN SCRIPTURE IT SAYS THERE IS MANY gODS. READ 1 COR. 8: 5,6
THEN YOU STRESSED, "I believe Jesus is the Son of God."
ME TOO. BUT I DON'T BELIEVE HE'S (gOD) TOO.
THEN YOU STRESSED, "Like we talked about before, that relationship between them only implies that Jesus was created by God."
HE WAS. NO DENYIN' THAT.
THEN YOU STRESSED, "But JW's look at him as just another angel. They deny that he is also one with God."
NO, JESUS IS THE SON OF gOD, THE MEDIATOR. THE ONLY bEgOTTEN SON. THE FIRST OF ALL CREATION. HE ISN'T JUST ANOTHA ANgEL AS YOU'RE gENERICALLY TRYIN' TO INFER SOME SAYIN'. THEY DENY THEY AIN'T THE SAME ENTITY, WHICH MAKES SENSE LOgICALLY AND SCRIPTURALLY. BUT THE THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT ARE ONE AS IN A TEAM, PURPOSE, AND SO FORTH. IT'S LIKE IF WE BOTH FROM THE SAME HOOD AND WE CALLED "HARD FOO'S". WE THE HARD FOO'S. BUT DOES THAT MEAN WE THE SAME PERSON? NAW IT MEAN WE FROM THE SAME HOOD AND REPRESENT THE SAME SHIT.
THEN YOU STRESSED, "That's why I pointed you towards the scripture that implies he is God...."
THE SCRIPTURE SHOWS TIMOTHY SHOWIN' A FORM OF EXPRESSION.
THEN YOU STRESSED, "Of coarse, if you don't accept the divinity of Jesus and see him as one with God then you will never understand or accept the concept of the Holy Trinity."
I UNDA-STAND THE CONCEPT AND I REBUKE IT CAUSE I KNOW IT'S FAKE. THE SHIT DON'T MAKE SENSE AND EVEN SOME OF IT'S BELIEVERS gET PUZZLED WITH THE CONCEPT. YHWH IS NOT A gOD OF CONFUSION. THE BIBLE STRESSES THIS AND OTHA SCRIPTURES BAK THAT. SO WHY WERE THE JEWS UNITARIAN IF CHRISTIANITY CAME FROM THAT? THEY NEVA BELIEVED IN THIS TRINITY.
THEN YOU STRESSED, "The Trinity is the conclusion you come across when you read and understand the New Testiment."
I DISAgREE. THE TRINITY WAS A CONCEPT BORROWED WHICH CAME INTO CHRISTIANITY AROUND THE 4TH CENTURY.
THEN YOU STRESSED, "You really have to sit there and read it all word for word."
WHICH TRANSLATION?
THEN YOU STRESSED, "There's a connection with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. What's interesting to me is that at one point, the apostles reffered to the Spirit as the Spirit of Jesus."
THERE IS A CONNECTION. THEY ALL ONE IN MIND. BUT IN READIN' SCRIPTURE AND PASSAgES YOU SHOULD COMPARE OTHA TEXTS WITH THE SAME PHRASES TO SEE IF THEY CARRY THE SAME MEANIN' OR IF THE MEANIN' IS ONLY USED FOR THAT ONE TEXT. A gOOD EXAMPLE IS OF THIS IS NEBUCHADNEZZAR IS ALSO CALLED KINg OF KINgS(DAN. 2:37) DOES THAT MEAN HE WAS JESUS CAUSE JESUS WAS CALLED THAT TOO(REV. 17:14)? OR HOW ABOUT THE DISCIPLES BEIN' JESUS SINCE THEY WERE BOTH CALLED "THE LIgHT OF THE WORLD"(MATT. 5:14; JOHN 8:12)? AND WHAT TEXT THE APOSTLES REFER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT AS THE SPIRIT OD JESUS?
THEN YOU STRESSED, "You feel that way because you do not understand it."
AND YOU DO? THEN HOW CAN YOU UNDA-STAND A gOD OF LOVE ENJOYIN' THE SUFFERIN' AND TORMENT OF HIS OWN CREATION?
THEN YOU STRESSED, "It is only human to feel that way. Isn't it so easy to just deny hell?"
IT IS ONLY HUMAN TO HAVE A BRAIN AND QUESTION CONVENTIONAL CHURCH DOgMA. I DON'T DENY HELL. HELL IS A PLACE. IT'S YOUR gRAVE. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORD HELL IS IN HEBREW AND gREEK(THE ORIgINAL BIBLE LANgUAgES)?
BUT READ IN ECCL. 9:5, 10; PS. 146:4 ABOUT THE DEAD AND WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM. THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT THE THE SOUL DOESN'T SURVIVE THE BODY. READ EZEK. 18:4
THEN YOU STRESSED, "It is a place that no one wants to be a part of but does that mean it's right to deny it's existance?"
I DON'T DENY IT. HELL IS A REAL PLACE. IT'S THE COMMON gRAVE OF MANKIND. BUT FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE IT AS A LITERAL PLACE OF TORMENT, I gUESS I WOULD BE SCARED SHITLESS TOO TO BE THREATEN WITH THAT.
THEN YOU STRESSED, "You other accept the scripture as a whole, or you don't."
I DO, DO YOU?
THEN YOU STRESSED, "You can't just pick out what you like from it? (this is where I question every denomination. Catholics add, and JW's take away and add to the scripture)"
YOU CAN'T. YOU ONLY CAN INTERPRET TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY AND CROSS REFERENCE THE TEXT AND PASSAgE FROM IT'S ORIgINAL LANgUAgES AND SEE IF THEY ARE ALL IN HARMONY.
BUT HOW DO YOU FIgURE THE WITNESSES TAKE AND ADD?
THEN YOU STRESSED, "Read the scripture if you're in denial bro."
READ WHAT SCRIPTURE AND I'M IN DENIAL OF WHAT?
THEN YOU STRESSED, "There's clearly a Heaven but it's not a reward as JW's and Catholics see it."
I AgREE THERE'S A HEAVEN. WHO SAID N-E-THANg ABOUT A REWARD?
THEN YOU STRESSED, "As for Hell, Earth is hell. And the lake of fire or the fiery place of pain and gnashing of the teeth is Earth with the absence of the 7th seal....
You might ask where did I get this from, it's in the scripture...."
SCRIPTURE PLEASE. BUT I KNOW HELL IS EARTH(AS IN DIRT). JUST LIKE IT WAS TOLD TO ADAM THAT IT IS DIRT HE CAME FROM, SO IT IS DIRT HE WILL gO TO. AND I KNOW YOU RECITIN' OUT OF THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS. NOW SCRIPTURE PLEASE.
THEN YOU STRESSED, "Naw it was the Catholic ideals that made me rebell against God
But now I understand it."
DO YOU REALLY? I BELIEVE YOU ARE SEEIN' THE LIgHT BUT AIN'T SEEIN' THE WHOLE PICTURE CLEAR AND THAT'S WHY WE HERE DISCUSSIN' THIS.
THEN YOU STRESSED, "You say the 144,000 males is symbolic but that is only twisting the scripture around.
The scripture says what it says and it gets no simpler than that.
No need to twist shit around."
HOW IS IT TWISTIN' IT IF IT'S SYMBOLIC? THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS IS SYMBOLIC OF THESE LAST DAYS AND WHAT'S gOIN' ON.
