faithful, where do you see that John's special office ceased after the baptism of Jesus? He clearly continued to preach and baptise after Jesus' baptism. They say he was locked up for his remark on Herod's wife, it could also have been due to his power in the area among the people. He had...

well you can put your dukes down Q, i wasn't going to ask you. I am not very familiar with these months and dates. the information i receive is from jewish scholars. They claim there is a clear issue with Jesus being crucified and tried during a passover feast and holiday. they believe this...

Touche faithful, i can't dispute that verse. as i was reading i noticed that he spoke to those in luke regarding the coming kingdom, which he said won't come with careful observation. it is within you. in mark he is speaking of the end times and the great tribulation. it seems that he views the...

I take dreams with a grain of salt. Some speak to me in symbols and I believe give me a message. usually they are just a hodgepodge of left over thoughts and such from the day that the brain gathers and throws together. Have you ever heard somoene talk in their sleep? It's almost all...

I give, when is it? :cool:

Faithful, you are aware that Paul and the crew also thought the end was coming in their day right? In fact they had to tell people to get to work and make themselves useful because they gave up everything because the end was near. Also in about 1000ad people went out in droves to the hilltops...

I have been focusing some attention on John the Baptist lately. His notoriety in Jesus' day seems to be greatly minimized. As some may know, there is still a following of John the Baptist today known as the Mandaeans. they live in Southern Iraq and still revere John as their leader and practice...

I think there is some vital information in 1 Corinthians 35-49 I can't tell if Paul is talking at all times of Jesus or if he is speaking of us also as being like Christ in our resurrection. Earlier someone mentioned Jesus being the first and the last. I don't believe jesus is God and created...

Meee, what exactly is the JW view on salvation and eternal life? I know that JW's believe that only 144,000 will be saved, why is that and what determines this? Thanks.

Mee, I agree with that belief. I don't think Jesus is God nor was he God. Jesus repeatedly put God above himself and stated his mission here was for God and from God. This is the mission of all of us. The gospel of John I take with a grain of salt. I believe this gospel was tampered with more...

Life is a journey not a guided tour.

Faithful, this is off topic but look up Philo of Alexandria and his invention of the logos.

this is true.

Are you at all familiar with a man named Honi? According to some things I read he was a charismatic Hasidic Jewish man known for his powerful prayer and his ability to start and stop rain. Apparently many referred to his grandson Hanan as Abba who also had control over the elements. Hanina ben...

What's up knowledge, i think you were referring to me when you said JW. I'm not JW but I'll gladly discuss this issue with you. I can give you at least 15 passages where Jesus made a clear distinction between himself and God.

Yes, but if Jesus' message is taken out of context and preached erroniously then it is anti-christ because he didn't say it that way. Remember Jesus didn't write one letter in the Bible.

Mee, can you tell me what JW's believe and how it is different from more mainstream christianity? Do you believe that Jesus was and is God.

This is a very important issue of which I have alot of opinions. I'll start by saying that the christians take a lot of flack from others for the reason that they evangelize. I'm not saying anybody is evangelizing here on CR but that in general this is the christian mission. This act and this...

You mean Noah??:cool: Couldn't resist. Wait a minute did Abraham build an ark too?

This isn't about loving the Father or not. There are millions of people out there who love God and would do anything for Him but do not believe that Jesus was Him. So you are saying that God would send them all to hell for not believing something. This is different than not loving. This...
