  Nellie,

  The woman's question was specifically about where. You are exactly correct about Jesus' reply. Her question asked "where," Jesus answer was "neither ... nor ... Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshipers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for, indeed, the Father is looking for suchlike ones to worship him."

  "Where" is anywhere you can with spirit and truth, which is? Anywhere. The woman asked "where." Jesus answered "how." "Where" was definitely addressed by Jesus, though. He didn't say where, but he did say the two places she believed to be the possible choices were not, didn't he?

  They even change the question Peter asked Jesus on the occasion of Jesus stumbling some followers from, "Lord, whom shall we go away to?" into, "Where will you go away to?" That is the question asked of everyone who leaves.

  Is there anthropological evidence proving the Nephilim's existence?

  by truthseeker in

  i've had this question is my mind for a while now, but has there been any skeletal remains discovered that could prove the existence of the nephilim?.

  there's so many unanswered questions about these giants - first of all, were they really hybrids?.

  secondly, if the demons could materialise and procreate, how do we not know that they gave their children the same reproductive powers?.

  I don't know about that, but I have an uncle who says a Missing Link in mankind's family tree is still alive.

  He doesn't say it with words so much as with his continuing existence.

  How does he want to be worshipped?

  I replied: In spirit and in truth, neither of which concept is comprehended by any Witness I know.

  You asked: Can it really be that simple?

  Please read John 4:7-26 and explain to me where Jesus said we would be worshipping when the time for worshipping in Jerusalem passed. Yes, it really can be that simple.

  Are you really 91 years old?

  No that is just my, "If I was born on my real birthday in 1914, how old would I be?" clock. The failed prophecy regarding the generation that saw 1914 is their most recent prophetic debacle. They have at least one every decade or so.

  Think about their current explanation of generation and explain to me what someone born in 1910 has in common with a 12-year-old today. The world we live in now is night and day different from the world of 1914, even considering "people's attitudes."

  Can it really be that simple?

  Oh, most definitely! Of course, you can complicate it up looking for second fulfillments and straining to make dates match up until your eyes bleed. But if you skip that you'll probably be much healthier.

  Welcome!

  Don't worry if an insanely cute little monkey saunters into your threads mumbling something about flinging poo, it's just her way.

  And don't feed the minimus after midnight and whatever you do, DON'T GET HIM WET. Just warning you .

  Take a load off and share as much or as little as you like.

  Do the violent actions of certain Klansmen brand them as truly Christian?

  No more so than do the acts of certain violent Isalmists brands them as truly Moslem.

  astrology and compatibility with your mate....a grain of truth???

  by kid-A in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  let me start off by saying i dont believe in astrology and most certainly not horoscopes.

  having said that, i have often considered the real possibility that the time and season of the year we are born in can dramatically influence our pre-natal development and the resulting personality, i dont think this has anything to do with "stars" or cosmology, but we do know that babies born in certain seasons or months are more prone to certain illnesses, temperaments etc.. i'm an aries and had a really lousy relationship with a "cancer" for many years.

  she always pointed out that all of the compatibility charts state that aries and cancers are fundamentally incompatible and it turned out....she was right!!

  FHN,

  That was intentional grammatical misuse of "they're," "their," and "there." It is one of my pet peeves. Spell checkers don't correct grammatical errors. Grammar checkers often don't catch such errors either.
