  Hold Me-Thrill Me

  EA916,

  I am a follower of Christ in association with Jehovah's Witnesses. Recognizing that the religion I associate with is very much like the first century Jews during Jesus' day. Rule keeping and with a strong tendency toward thinking too much of itself. A tendency common among all men but it should not be among those who claim to be disciples of Christ.

  I do not believe in the Trinity. I believe in a restored earth. I believe in a resurrection to heaven and to earth. I believe we are living in momentous times. I do not believe in an invisible presence. I believe Christ's return will be obvious to all and is not too distant.

  Viviane: However, you said "I believe the law of God is eternal"

  NO! You are misquoting me. Go back and read it again. I said: I believe the Ten Commandments are eternal.

  The discussion is the Ten Commandments and I kept to it. You are reading what YOU want to see not what is actually on the page.

  Read more carefully.

  if jesus was really viewed as the greatest teacher who ever lived...........why would a 3rd party need to explain his teaching?

  Don't you know? Truly, you were a Witness and do not know the difference?
  

  I must presume you do or I'm mistaken and you were never a Witness. If so, my apologies.

  Viviane: So you specifically avoid pork? Avoid wearing clothes made from two different kinds of fabric? You actively avoid shellfish? You sacrifice animals as proscribes? You kill people that worship other gods if they proselytize to you?

  Do you know the Ten Commandments? Obviously not.

  I am embarrassed for you.

  to all brothers and sisters reading this site: "and i love you so" (remember the don mclean song?

  )...is the feeling most of us had with regard to the watchtower and the brothers leading it.

  but truly, who did we get baptized for?

  Viviane: Oh? Do tell me more...

  LOL

  So you asked on another thread what is spirituality and now you ask for more information on what is the difference between the Trinity and the God of Abraham?

  Were you ever a Witness? Just asking with, as you know, no relevance in mind.

  Viviane: The org, in terms of behavior, is no worse than any other group of Christians. That's not a sign of God doing anything.

  Which God? The Trinitarian God or the God of Abraham? They are not the same.

  Fresno man facing murder charge after shooting a Jehovah’s Witness who refused blood transfusion

  by Tenacious in

  a fresno man is facing murder charges in court this week for the shooting death of a jehovahs witness who later died after refusing a blood transfusion.. according to police, quevedo and silva argued over over gang membership with quevedo returning later in the evening to shoot silva through the security door at his home.. silva reportedly told a fresno police officer jehovah, jehovah, im dying, im dying, as he was taken to a hospital where he died during surgery after refusing a blood transfusion because he was a jehovahs witness.. it is the belief of many jehovahs witnesses that it is against gods will to have a blood transfusion.. according to defense attorney antonio alvarez, quevedo should not have been charged with murder because silva refused a transfusion that could have saved his life.. prosecutor gabriel brickey disagrees and will call fresno county pathologist michael chambliss to testify that, even if silva had received the transfusion, he would have died because one bullet hit a a major vein.. quevedo has already served time in prison for felony battery and theft and was on supervised release when he was arrested for shooting silva.. if convicted of murder he would face life in prison.. original story with suspect picture can be found here: fresno shooting.

  The shooter put the victim in the situation he found himself in. If I get shot in the femoral artery and the surgeon tells me my leg must be amputated as a result of the blood loss to the tissues and I refuse to have it amputated and I lose my life the circumstance within which I found myself was the direct fault of the shooter not myself.
  

  The brother who refused blood was put in that circumstance by the one who shot him and is as a result responsible for his death.

  Christianity: The most deceptive religion

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jesus was a jew who apparently thought he was the messiah, however, after dying, his disciples began to propagate the lie that he would return from heaven during his generation.

  but, his generation passed away, and it was clear that it was a false prophecy, then a dishonest christian wrote the second letter of peter so as to condemn those who realised that the prophecy was a fiasco.

  interestingly, and sadly, this religion survived,....why????

  Hypothetical:

  God causes bolts of lightning to be seen around the world. The bolts of lightning seen around the world inscribe large boulders around the world with the commands to love one another, to care for the widows and orphans, to show kindness and share what we have. And if we do we will inherit everlasting life.

  What would truly change on earth?
