  Slavery

  In the Bible, God is not the author of slavery. Slavery originated with humans. He worked along with it and tolerated it as with human suffering until he takes action in the future —as the Bible explains.

  So you are telling me that there is nothing wrong with slavery.

  I said that your views don’t matter compared to the Bible standard. Another example is sexual immorality.

  Can I then beat you mercilessly

  You can believe what you like. The Bible is a standard: God is good by definition and not compared to your beliefs. True, many things in the Bible agree with our senses but when your senses or beliefs or standards conflict the Bible, too bad, the Bible is still the standard for Christians. Again, have whatever views you like.

  Some people may not like secular laws or ordinances legislated by lawmakers, too bad, it is the law. Also, according to your feelings you may not like the Bible standards, too bad.

  john 5:22,28,29, acts 10:42, acts 17:31, romans 14:9, 2 cor.

  5:10, 2 tim.

  No, the “attack” is on beliefs not on people.

  2. beliefs

  the bible records resurrections and there is orher evidence besides that gives hope.

  what do you think, is there enough evidence to believe in another life?.

  They were dead. And came back to life.

  Besides the Bible, other evidence comes directly from God.

  No proof = No faith.

  What Name Does the New Testament Emphasize - Jehovah or Jesus?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it seems to me scripturally speaking, that jehovah's witnesses are emphasizing the wrong name.. it should be jesus, not jehovah.

  who is the way, the truth and the life?

  (john 14:6).

  Obviously, the NT is about the fulfillment of Bible prophecy of the Messiah, Jesus. But it was the Great Jehovah that fulfilled prophecy by providing Jesus.

  Amazing how they take a helpful parable and make it about themselves.

  Remember how Jesus told Peter to feed his sheep and Jesus wasn’t only referring to Peter. Who else do you think fit the bill today if not JW, the churches of christendom and their trinity doctrines and political consorts?

  Van, I'm-sure the gb was displeased and offended with the attention but appreciate the well meaning behind it and went along so as not to hurt the feelings of the friends You akso have to factor in tge local customs. But we don’t have all of the facts here so as to form an opinion.

  Given all of the facts, I will say of brother NHK that that inspite of well intentions here, he would have walked away and not accepted the attention and would have rebuked the elders privately, unless it is just a local custom of greeting guests. But these gb in the vid don’t need or want any special treatment either, I believe.

  Comparing anything to a slave as being a good thing is anything but a blessing.

  Bible trumps your opinion. —As it relates to the Bible.
