  The Lord is a hearer of all prayers and he answers the prayers of the pure heart. Rest in Him for he is good! Trust in his love!

  "Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues God will speak to this people, to whom he said, "This is the resting place, let the weary rest"; and, 'This is the place of repose"--but they would not listen. So then, the word of the LORD to them will become: Do and do, do and do, rule on rule, rule on rule; a little here, a little there--so that they will go and fall backward, be injured and snared and captured.'" - Isaiah

  the title pretty much says it all.. it's true that there are many classics that simply can't be topped but it doesn't stop people from trying anyway.

  and what do ya know; occasionally someone does succeed.

  here i will post at least one notable example.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o9gf_sofbm&p=301f39587863d18d&playnext=1&index=3.

  Does The Name Really Matter?

  by AGuest in

  to the household of god, israel, and those who go with... may you have peace!.

  as you know i have, for many years now, related to you that i hear the voice of the fine shepherd, the holy one of israel and holy spirit, jaheshua mischajah.

  over such years i have received many questions and comments, and engaged in various debates regarding the validity of that name.

  Discernment of spirits is not simply hearing spirits it is the spiritual ability to judge and differentiate (discern) between the Holy Spirit and unclean/deceiving spirits, even when such claim to be the voice of Jesus, Michael, Jaheshua, Jehovah, or whatever. This is one reason encouragement was given to test the spirits to see if they are from god because many false spirits speaking through false prophets have gone out into the world.

  Spiritual gifts are real but they are not for boasting or for self-promotion in some misguided, fleshly attempt to prove oneself to others. Jesus repeatedly refused to engage in such spectacle when the enemy and others tried to get him to prove himself.

  I was told that the red stuff coming out of meat was simply a dye to keep the meat looking fresh in the display. My father was a butcher so he would know I would assume?

  I bet more than a couple of the folks on this board, given enough time, could produce a translation at least as competent as the NWT.

  On another forum I was on there was an individual that produced his own translation although from my perspective it was inferior to the NWT. Though, from what I understood, he did submit it to the Society hoping for publication.

  @PSacramento

  Despite my concerns with the accuracy of Matthew 28:19 I do believe that there is a singular NAME shared by Father, Son, and Spirit. It is totally out of bounds to insert others into the equation such as when the Watchtower baptizes into the "spirit-directed organization."

  @Stephen

  There is some evidence that the instruction to go "baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit" may not have been original and was a later addition to the text.

  "We're not here to debate or argue"

  by sabastious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as a jw i was always taught "never to get into debate or argue with householders.".

  you know what is interesting about that?.

  the message i had when i went to your door was essentially "hello, what ever your current belief is... is wrong.

  I will say that in most cases the Witnesses are more adept at using the Bible to support their teachings than the typical householder they run into.
