should we still be keeping the 10 commandments?
Viviane

Let's take this one step at a time. We have to understand that we live in a different day and age. The culture back then was different
So? Is God's law eternal or not? If it is, then culture has exactly zero to do with anything.
I am talking about the ten commandments that God wrote with his finger on the tablets of stone.
But you said "the law of God" and that's what I was addressing. Keep the 10 commandments if you want to, I don't care. I was discussing the other thing you mentioned.
If you don't keep the law of God, that's fine. You just said you did and found that curious.
And next time Viviane, make sure to put Bible text on where you are getting your information from. Thanks.
Next time you post to me, please be sure to keep your incorrect assumptions about my mood and attitude to yourself.

Do you know the Ten Commandments? Obviously not.
Of course I do (although you didn't specify which version, there is more than one). However, you said "I believe the law of God is eternal" and said that you try to keep them. The 10 commandments, either version, is not "the law of god".
If you didn't mean the law, then you shouldn't have said that. You should have said something else to specify what you meant. If you don't keep to the laws I mentioned then you obviously don't keep to the law of God, which is fine, but it's not the same thing as what you said.
I am embarrassed for you.
When that rank as something I care about I'll be happy to let you know.

So you specifically avoid pork? Avoid wearing clothes made from two different kinds of fabric? You actively avoid shellfish? You sacrifice animals as proscribes? You kill people that worship other gods if they proselytize to you?

if jesus was really viewed as the greatest teacher who ever lived...........why would a 3rd party need to explain his teaching?

I did ask that on another thread. Now I am asking the question above. Can you answer?

I am from the US. I believe the law of God is eternal.
So why don't you keep it, then?

Which God? The Trinitarian God or the God of Abraham? They are not the same.
Oh? Do tell me more...

All things point to God having enough of it which is why we see so much recklessness in the org. right now plus all the pedo suits coming to light. God has clearly given his back to the WTS.
The org, in terms of behavior, is no worse than any other group of Christians. That's not a sign of God doing anything.

Is Prophecy important?

hello, i am certainly new to all of this.

i have recently been studying the prophecy's, and i was wondering if they are of any importance at all?
Viviane

I ask a question. Relevance is something you look for not me.
I do. I expect someone asking a question to have some kind of idea why it matters. I will not make that mistake with you again.

Biblical Prohecies That Came True?
by Viviane in

recently there have been several claims made regarding prophecies that came true.

i've not personally seen a prophecy that i would consider as having come true.

i would consider the following as the requirements to say something is a prophecy and evaluate whether or not it came true:.
Viviane

The specific details are there, so much , that people that understand what they read,cannot believe that it is a prophecy but that it was written after the fact.
Please name one such prophecy.
God is not going to spell it out for you how you like it
I didn't ask for it to be spelled out how I like it, nor did I ask God on this thread.
So far, no apologist has been able to provide a prophecy that came true as foretold exactly with names, dates and details that can be verified. You've claimed that exists, I am very interested in seeing it.
( I could draft a much better illustration, but I do not have the time. I trust you get my point.)
I've no idea what your point is since God is invisible and silent and, rather than idiotically wonder what to do, he idiotically killed everyone everytime he was a little irritated, unlike the woman in your example. She could have called the sheriff, built a fence around her land or, if she was more like me, provide the final warning with her AK47 and shotgun in tow.

Your answer was better than Cofty's.
Cofty's answer is excellent. You've not demonstrated why think your question is relevant.
