No one comes to the Father but through Me

by JH in

can anyone explain to me what "no one comes to the father but through me" means ?.

i told my mom, who is getting baptized tomorrow in the baptist faith, that we have to pray to the father, not jesus like they do.

she told me that they pray to jesus because jesus said, "no one comes to the father but through me", so they pray to jesus directly, and then he relays the prayer to the father.

JH

Baptist's believe that Jesus is God anyway so they don't see a problem with praying to him.

Well, I tried to show her a few verses such as:

28 Y OU heard that I said to YOU , I am going away and I am coming [back] to YOU . If YOU loved me, YOU would rejoice that I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am.

and

17 Jesus said to her: “Stop clinging to me. For I have not yet ascended to the Father. But be on your way to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and YOUR Father and to my God and YOUR God.’”

Oh, she invited me to her baptism, and I'm sure she would love if I followed her example and went to her church. I will not go to any other religion, especially those that believe in the Trinity and pray to the son.

I told her that I pray to the Father through Jesus, which is NOT the same as praying TO Jesus, so that he will deliver the prayer to his Father afterwards.

For a moment, I understood her logic, and thought to myself, that can't be hey???

"This change shows how close the end we REALLY are..............."

by Warlock in

according to one of my relatives, the co said, on a recent visit, that the offer of "everlasting life" will be brief and to the point.. when street witnessing, if people refuse, do not chase them.

in the door to door work, if someone is not interested, do not persist, just leave.. according to my relative, these changes really show "how close to the end we really are".. why is it that every change is interpreted as "this change shows how close to the end we really are"?.

i have come to realize that the wts are masters at jerking people around, and i really hate it!.

When street witnessing, if people refuse, do not chase them.

Instead, “Pass through the city after him and strike. Let not your eye feel sorry, and do not feel any compassion. 6 Old man, young man and virgin and little child and women YOU should kill off—to a ruination.

Wow, the year is 2008, and still no Armageddon!

by Nosferatu in

jw
friends

every time we enter a new year, i think about how i wasn't supposed to make it this long.

i really believed we wouldn't live past the year 2000, and armageddon would change everything.

it almost strikes me as living on borrowed time, but then i remember that armageddon is a story, not a reality.

JH

It's just around the corner, no doubt about that.

If you see a pregnant woman, you know that soon she will give birth. The signs are all there.

Same thing with this generation, that will not pass...

If the end does not come in 10 years then...........

by TooBad TooSad in

if the end does not come in 10 years then nothing is going to change.

here is my reasoning.. in our hall we have friends whose grandparents thought the end was coming in 1914 then in 1925.. well they died and still our friends believe the end is near.

our friends had parents who.

For whoever enters the new system one day, say thankyou to God, but remind him that he was late....
