  Do You Accept ALL Of The Bible As Being 100% Truth?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you believe the bible is unfallible, unerring and totally accurate?.

  do you believe the bible is a "good book" with much good about it but not something that should be totally believed?.

  do you not believe in the bible at all as being "god's word"?.

  "Poor Joseph. God is a hard act to follow." Billboard

  by TheSilence in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i found this to be an odd billboard simply because it was posted by a church:.

  Having read the explanation:

  "This billboard is trying to lampoon and ridicule the very literal idea that God is a male and somehow this male God impregnated Mary," said Cardy, who described his church as having very liberal ideas about Christianity.

  the billboard, inappropriate and/or offensive as it may be to some, makes sense - its saying that IF people think that's how Mary conceived Jesus, then yeah, Joseph might seem a pretty inadequate successor!

  I don't quite follow the first part of the next statement though, s'pose it depends on how you define 'virgin'!

  "We would question the Virgin Birth in any literal sense. We would question the maleness of God in any literal sense," he said.

  I'm not sure I fully understand dear Shelby, but your post brought these verses from 2 Corinthians 11 to my mind:

  13For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ.

  14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

  15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.

  May the peace, strength and joy of the Lord remain with you

  21For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know!

  23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.

  Grace, how often do I need to say - you stay until the Lord says so!!!

  Secret Santa Wish List 2009

  by Lady Lee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those of you who signed up for the secret santa 2009 list here is where you give your secret santa an idea of things you might like.

  it's hard enough to give gifts to people you know nevermind people you have never met.. so bearing in mind the $15 limit give us an idea what your favorite interests, colors are, or what things you might like.. in the past people have suggested something for their new christmas tree, a book, a cd of their favorite music, something from where their secret santa lives (something with the city's or country's name on it or an widely known item.. once people get their name they will be able to check back here to get an idea of what your interest is before they go shopping.. if you say "anything" or don't post then expect a surprise..

  Do you believe God has one true organization on earth?

  by 2pink in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those who believe in god, do you believe he has one true organization on earth?

  word of our intended slow fade has abruptly become a public knowledge.

  my husband was talking to his sister on the phone today, breaking the news to her and one thing she kept bringing up was that god has to have an organization on earth.

  No.

  Firstly Jesus said "Follow me" - not "Follow such-and-such an organisation" For all the WT boasting about being like the first Christians whom they see as a united, happy bunch, they see it wrong - you only have to look at the New Testament Acts and the letters to see that - the jewish Christians fell out with the gentile Christians, the apostles disagreed with each other, the gnostics had their own ideas too, the Christians went for certain leaders (1 Corinthians 1: 10-17). I could go on but I won't lol! It's just to make the point that the early Christians weren't half as organised and united as the WTS makes them out to be!

  And guess what? In spite of all the falling out, Christianity survived in all its forms, warts and all! Its God that holds us together, not an earthly organisation.

  Secondly, John 4:

  19"Sir," the woman said, "I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem."

  21 Jesus declared, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."

  Rephrase slightly!:

  19"Sir," the woman said, "I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped in a church, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in the Kingdom Hall."

  21 Jesus declared, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither in a church nor in the Kingdom Hall. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."

  True worship isn't reliant on any organisation - it's between God and the individual. The Christian lives a life of worship - it's not just about saying the 'right' prayers, doing 'stuff', reading the 'right' books or following a set of rules, its simply about living and moving in God's will, not man's.
