Billy the EX-BETHELITE- Good presentation on how the WT society twists it's view of what a lie is. Well done. Good debate with Son of Man.
SON of MAN- You stated " If you relay something you believe to be true to another , you are NOT telling a lie. " So here goes - Son of Man aren't YOU being out of line assuming the lord Jesus Christ's name in your avatar ? Wasn't HE the one and only Son of Man ? You claim to be the " faithful slave " ? I think you are imagining you are the " faithful slave. " And perhaps deluding yourself. We all know the " faithful slave " is someone else ! Just saying.
PALMTREE 67- You are correct- a lie is a lie no matter how it's sliced.
HOPSCOTCH- I do remember using those scriptures you mentioned. They burned them into our minds with a branding iron ! Always talking about the " very near future ". Glad I'm done misleading people !
You are making some great statements and asking very reasonable questions flipper. I have stated my case in another thread if you choose to read it. Jesus Christ is the Son of GOD, I am son of man, an earthly man.

I did not choose who I am, I was chosen by GOD. Someone has to be the slave just like someone has to be Jesus Christ. Even if I was being misled by demons, I am still with spirits am I not? However what I know, and what I have experienced tells me I am with GOD. He provides me with truths before they occur. I see into the future by what GOD tells me, and puts forth in many signs in one form or another. I have been with good and wicked spirits from day one. Why does the scripture ask "who really is the faithful and discreet slave"? This is because there would be question as to whom it actually is. I have pointed to everyone who has read my postings to the fact that prophecies have been fulfilled by the events in the Middle East. People here in the West refuse to acknowledge that possibly someone who is labeled as a terrorist could actually be a "holy one" or descendant of Abraham.
Why does it sayin this scripture:
41 “Then he will say, in turn, to those on his left, ‘Be on YOUR way from me, YOU who have been cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his angels. 42 For I became hungry, but YOU gave me nothing to eat, and I got thirsty, but YOU gave me nothing to drink. 43 I was a stranger, but YOU did not receive me hospitably; naked, but YOU did not clothe me; sick and in prison, but YOU did not look after me.’ 44 Then they also will answer with the words, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to you?’ 45 Then he will answer them with the words, ‘Truly I say to YOU , To the extent that YOU did not do it to one of these least ones, YOU did not do it to me.’
It is because his this is what happened to those in the Middle East when their homeland was invaded by the nations and people do not acknowledge them.
I have relayed to you that Jesus Christ is here to save us while other teach that GOD is here to destroy all that are wicked. How unfair would it be to allow satan to be put into prison for one thousand years while killing those upon the earth that satan misled?
I am the faithful slave and I teach that which Jesus Christ taught, "good news" of The Kingdom of GOD, not death ans destruction. Death and destruction comes at the hands of man and GOD is innocent, AMEN..........by their fruits you will recognize them. So who do you believe?
the slave
