Re: Talking to a Jehovah's Witness

I got my Bible and you are right, there are no names and no credentials. It says the work was done by a New World Bible Translation Commitee out of New York and that it was a ten year process beginning in 1950 to translate it. they do give a list of sources, 41 of them including Sinaitic MS, greek t...

Re: Theory on the Ant-Christ

i agree very much with you Narnia4. just imagining a human that is given power and authority by Satan himself..and how easily so many will fall for him. I think too many people imagine this figure being creepy and nasty and overly cruel, maybe with a patch over one eye, part android or something rea...

Re: Talking to a Jehovah's Witness

hey canukster, how's it goin? :) The very front of my NWT has the information about what was used to do the translations and when it was done. Apparently it took about 6 years to complete or something close. It's in my truck at the moment so i can't quote it exactly. It may also have the credentials...

Re: Talking to a Jehovah's Witness

hey all, I grew up in the jahova's witnesses, got out when i was about 8 or so. i am now talking with one of my old friends who is still with them. it's been 20 years. I haven't gotten him to directly tell me why they believe what they believe just yet, but we do have a mutual respect which is vital...

Re: Theory on the Ant-Christ

haha possibly :) all i can say for sure is that it will be someone who wants to replace all religions and replace God. He will want everyone to believe he is the savior and that he is God.

Re: Did Jesus really say we'd never know?

ah ok, but i guess what im saying is that it wont come as a big suprise to everyone. There is alot of serious stuff that will come to pass before our lord returns and believers will see it comming if they understand the scriptures correctly. We knew it wouldnt happen yesterday because of many of the...

Re: Did Jesus really say we'd never know?

we are to look for the signs of his return, to keep on our guard against false teachers, false prophets and false messiahs (antichrists). Sure nobody knows the hour or the day, but a true believer should be able to recognize the signs of the prophesies and could pin it down to the decade or even the...

Re: Just another Genesis idea...

yeah definately can't read Genesis as if it were a textbook in class. It tells us the very basic of basics about the beginning of our planet in a pretty, poetic way. If we wish to know the nitty-gritty and want the details, we must learn and examine the laws, systems and processes that God set in pl...

Re: 666 or 616?

i have never heard of that before. all i can say is that literally speaking the number 666 is in greek gramaticon code for the name of a man. spiritually the number 6 is one shy of God's number of completion 7 and the three fold repeating of the six is showing us that whoever this man is, is all abo...

Re: Theory on the Ant-Christ

real quick I wanted to say thank you to BW and puritan lad. I also just remembered and then re read this verse: Revelation 13:3 "and I saw one of it's heads as though slaughtered to death, but it's death-stroke got healed, and all the earth followed the wild beast with admiration." severa...

Re: Speaking in tongues.

I was teaching at their Bible college (also member of the church) and I didn't follow what material they gave me to teach, because it was non-biblical. I also asked them questions and over some months they began to tell me indirectly that I have a great future in Christ and that I should look for b...

Re: Speaking in tongues.

well it depends on who you ask what the angelic language is supposed to be for. most will just say it's an extra special way to get closer to God. I've been told everyone can do it if they want to, if their faith is strong and if they practice it enough, but this would be in direct opposition to Pau...

Re: Speaking in tongues.

WOW they kicked you out!!?? Honestly it just amazes me how many official churches read the Bible, but don't acctually read the Bible. I would have pointed out to them that the Bible clearly teaches that the FRUITS of the spirit are the one and only way to know who has it and who doesn't..NOT the gif...

Re: Speaking in tongues.

1. All spoken language has a flow, pattern and specific syntax no matter where on the planet it is from. All studies of the tongues phenomena of every country and every religion that use it found no pattern, no syntax and the sounds were completely random. This is a huge red flag for anyone who stu...
