this is a topic discussed in a current article in the hongkong based asia times*.

find it at: https://asiatimes.com/2023/09/nones-still-no-match-for-us-christian-nationalism/.

the claim is made in the article, that near 30% of americans are non-believers, and that this number is increasing.

I have no problem with the death of religion. Let it die.

Riley,

Secularism is just another worlview. It fits the general description of religion. Meet the new boss:

Last week, the California Senate Judiciary passed AB 957, which would consider it abusive for a parent to not affirm a child’s gender “identity” and would deny custody to non-affirming parents during custody disputes. An updated version of the bill specifically defines a child’s “health, safety, and welfare” to include “a parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity.”

There is currently an ad campaign by the new religion of secularism claiming that men can have menstrual periods too.

Remember, the WT got it's start by condemning "religionists", while at the same time promoting their new heretical religion.

How dare those evil religionists claim that God created us "male and female"! Not much has changed. But, I for one won't be fooled by the same scam twice.

i can agree on most of what this man preaches about the mark of the beast.. https://madmaxworld.tv/watch?id=64fd01a1112661824fb397c7.

666 is the number of a name, the name of the Anti-Christ. In Greek, the letters have a corresponding number value.

Here's an educational exercise:

First, type your name here to see your name printed in Greek characters.

Then, look at the chart below and find the numerical value that corresponds to each letter in your name in Greek .

Write down all the letter values and add them up. It's that simple.

If your name equals 666, you could be the Anti-Christ.

Trinity Statements in the Dead Sea Scrolls

by Sea Breeze in

dr. ken johnson has identified several statements in the dead sea scrolls that predict that god would visit the earth as a man... as the messiah.

These ancient Dead Sea Scrolls are interesting with their comments about God becoming a man. It shows that God had been revealing himself to people of faith in him for a very long time. But, just to be clear... scripture alone is sufficient to determine that we all - representatives of Jew and Gentile crucified Jehovah, the Lord of Glory.

Isa. 42:8 I am the LORD [Jehovah]: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

1Cor. 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Jas. 2:1 - "Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory" .

The Scripture plainly declares that Jesus Christ is the Lord of Glory [Jehovah] of Is. 42:8. He was killed by representatives of both Jew and Gentile.

What a hideous, fallen caricature of the magnificient race we were originally created to be.

But, it is possible to argue against 3 in 1...

@PetrW

It's possible to argue against anything, if you make enough scriptures symbolic. And now, thanks to the work of Ken Johnson, there are many more ancient writings from the patriarchs who started the Israeli people that will need to be ignored in order to continue to support Unitarianism/Arianism.

When I got saved, I knew enough to know that I needed to enter into some sort of contract or agreement with Jesus. I was not fully on board with the Trinity at that time. So, I just shelved it for the time being.... neither rejecting nor fully accepting it. I then based my decision to move forward with Jesus on the scripture where he said, "All power has been given me in Heaven and Earth." I reasoned that All meant All and as such I was at the top with him... at least to the top that I was ever going to get.

After I made the deal with Jesus and accepted his offer, I knew I was saved. I knew it in my innermost being. Within about 2 months after that I knew that Jesus was God Almighty, the Creator of Heaven and Earth. It never was a fully intellectual ascent. It happened about 3am in the morning while reading the Bible. The word of God is truly alive. It is unlike any other book on earth.

Blessings to you on your journey.

Here's some background on the Testimionies of the Patriarchs of the Jewish people:

PetrW,

interesting reasoning, but I see a major, almost insurmountable obstacle that if I claim that Jesus and the Father are one God, then there is a risk that I am claiming that Jesus did not die for us. God, or more accurately: part of God, would have died too.

It is more than "interesting reasoning". It is the only model that accomodates all scriptures. It was rock solid Christian doctrine for nearly two millenia until the WT filled the world with thier printing presses to the contrary.

Remember, each component of man soul-body-spirit is each YOU. The scriptures assign personhood using pronouns to each component separately.

In other words,

I am a soul (identity) and I have a soul (component)

I am a body (identity) and I have a body (component)

I am a spirit (identity) and I have a spirit (component)

In the case of Jesus his spirit is the same essence of God

Jesus is Spirit/God (identity) and he has Spirit/God (component)

The personhood goes both ways - Jesus is God and God is also Jesus.

"shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. " (MEV)- Acts 20: 28

The Christian God bleeds.

“This is my son the beloved. Listen to HIM,”

by Fisherman in

the apostles and early christians suffered and died resulting from listening to jesus and jesus said this would happen.. but is listening to jesus the same as direction from the gb based on interpretation of the bible, for example, in medical treatment or other directions?

a christian could expect death or injury resulting from listening to jesus but should this validate possible erroneous understanding of the bible?

we know that peter was executed because of his christianity and so was jesus by the way.

Obviously, a Christian doesn’t go to a battlefield.....that clearly violates the Bible.

Fisherman,

It most certainly does not, the opposite is true. Are you not capable of generating even one biblical concept instead of regurgitating WT dung? This garbage that you are saying is "obvious" is utter poison. Your unbiblical cowardice and personal failure to confront evil is the most sure fire way to get your family, neighbors and countrymen killed. Evil must be opposed militarily. It won't stop unless people that are not like you oppose it. It is the expressed will of God!

Government does not bear the sword in vain... he is God’ minister to you for good....to execute wrath on him who practices evil. (Romans 13:4)

Goverments are imperfect, but all the same they are God's minister. God will sort out the ramifications of his institutions.

You are advocating opposing an institution of God, his minister, while at the same time claiming to obey God's "obvious" will. You are utterly deceived and probably should be imprisoned to keep you from hurting yourself or others. Your mind is broken. Go sit in a decent bible-believing Church for a few years and decompress like all former JW-but-now-current-believers had to do. The local church was left by Jesus as a service to people just like you and me. You should avail yourself to it. Jesus didn't leave behind the internet, he left the church. Stop ignoring another one of God's institutions.

But how about in other matters of life and death, how do you know you are listening to Jesus?

Stop adding, twisting or otherwise ignoring Jesus words. Read the bible like you would any other book. The answer is in your own question silly.
