Christianity EtcRe: Why Are Most Christians Stingy When It Comes To Church Offerings? by brocab: 1:07pm On Sep 24, 2016
Because they teach the wrong doctrine, Jesus said you can't worship God and mammon at the sometime.
And as true as this is, the Churches don't support the widows, nor the strangers, nor the poor, tithes and offerings pays the pastors, and some that follow, the rest buys churches, homes, lands, jets cars, Harley's etc.. The governments pays the schools, the widows, the strangers, and the poor.
Any Church that preaches on either offerings or tithes, from such withdraw yourselves New International Version{1 Timothy 6:3-10}

Only if you Catholic's could just open up your own hearts a little, and study your own history about your Church.
The Catholic Church {Universal} means nothing to a believer in Christ. A broken down Church, that not even the Spirit of God, could rein in such.

9 inches who would want to chase after a unloving God, a God who has his army of priest who believe they can forgive sins.
Who would want to chase after a God, that puts fear and torment through peoples lives. A God who lies about purgatory, an unloving God, a unforgiving and unrepentant God.
A God who allows priest to have sexual relationships with men and Children, sacrificing the souls of the youth, worshipping Lucifer in Latin. A God that murders and torches the innocent.
History brother tells the story. And the Catholic Church holds their story like it's tomorrow..
This is why I would never turn my life away from Christ, to a God like yours....
Jesus Christ is Lord....

Bro how good are you, the body of Christ needs people like yourself, strong witness who keeps your eye only on the Lord, your truth about Christ stands fern in the name of Jesus.
Even you Solite3 is a person of great courage, the Lord is taken you both places, and already its in the comforts of your own homes offices etc, you are spreading the good news, the hole truth and nothing but the truth so help me God.. Any other religion besides Christ isn't worth to walk upon...
Dolhinheart join with us, with your determent behaviour, only if you knew the truth about Christ, you would make a good teacher..
johnw74:
Act 20:20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,

The very next verse says:

Act 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

ummm how many have heard false jw testify faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ
they rarely mention His name.




Isa 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

The Spirit of the Lord God is not upon false jw, that's for sure,
false jw don't even know that the Holy Spirit is a person, is God.

They love the one verse in a translation that cals the Holy Spirit "it"
and they ignore all the so many verses in all the translation that call Him "He"
ha ha, so easily does satan deceive them.

We do know though, that they cannot talk straight and do the twist all over the place,
we do know that they have the spirit of fear and evasion and lies.

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: (1 John 1:6)
Christianity EtcRe: Tithes And Offerings by brocab: 10:32pm On Sep 23, 2016
Old testament says we are to go into the house of the Lord, where Aaron and the levites reined, after Christ was crucified, the Holy Spirit left the temple, the veil was torn from top to bottom, and Christ said I will send you a helper and He will teach you all things, and help you remember all the things we done on the road..
He said He made His temple in each and everyone of us those who believe.
Christ spoke very little in the house of the Lord, back then, His aim was to go out unto all the streets highways to preach His gospel.
He said to His disciples go out unto all the nations and baptise them in the name of the Father the son and the Holy Spirit.
And all the nations couldn't possibility hang around in temples, not the gentiles.

And I am a gentile and we are always in the house of the Lord, when we are together glorifying His Name. It doesn't have to be inside a building, it can be on the streets, in someones home, in a park etc...The body of Christ is everywhere...The body of the Church the Lord built is His body..
I don't have to leave my home to meet up with the body of Christ...look I am even writing to you brother...
Yes I could say a church building can be a good place to meet others, But in my country, the Churches are controlled by the Government, and funded through schools, Satan himself controls the sermons for the day, other then Christ, our law states we can't even speak about Christ on the streets before someone is arrested, In the name of Jesus our schools are banded. They allow only the Muslims, Jehovah witnesses and the Catholic Church to preach their gospels through our schools etc..This isn't the same gospel we believers know about Christ...
Sometimes I drop into a church here and there, and the pastor is preaching another gospel, which most people call it prosperity preaching, people ain't taken their bibles to Church any more, they either use there phones, or they sit there listening to the pastor preach, after church I talk about the Lord, and people walk away. My Church brother is on the streets talking with others who believe in Christ, we ride Harley's from place to place meeting with others in their homes, parks etc.. Coming together in the name of the Lord.
{Ephesians 4:11} So Christ gave some apostles and some prophets, and some evangelist, and some pastors and teaches..We are out there brother..

Universal Catholic does not show any evidence Christ started your church. The body of Christ isn't made of brick and mortar...
The Spirit of God lives in those who have chosen to believe...
I can attend church within my own home, ever where I go-Jesus said when two or three are gather in His name He is in the mist of us...
There are more born again Christians around the world then any other religions such as yours, born again's who had found the truth and accepted Christ into their hearts. Jesus Christ is Lord....
9inches:
{Ephesians 4:5} One Lord One faith and One baptism...
When Jesus founded the Church, it wasn’t a bunch of separate churches with their own individual doctrines, but a body with different parts throughout the world. We can see this from how Sts. Peter and Paul jumped from church to church around the Mediterranean Sea, founding churches that supported each other and had the same doctrine and rules.

It only makes sense that if Jesus founded one Church, it would be for the whole world. The word “catholic” comes from the Greek word “katholicos” which means universal. With that in mind, the Catholic Church is the Universal Church for all of humanity founded by Jesus. Only a single Church founded on Christ can fulfill the Great Commission, baptizing and making disciples of all nations.

One of the most beautiful things about the Catholic Church is its universality. I can attend mass pretty much anywhere around the world, and though I might not know the language, it’ll be the same liturgy with the same Eucharistic Lord and the same beliefs.

The Church must be able to adapt to different cultures without changing the doctrine or liturgy, which has been shown by the Catholic Church time and time again, on all 6 continents.

An unloving God, whom you wouldn't shed your blood to save your own.
And you say you seek to save others, from what? To bind up the broken hearted to proclaim liberty to the captives, and to open the eye's wide open for the prisoners. Bro you have no idea, who the Lord is...
He died for us to give us life, and we as His children will save another.

Christianity EtcRe: Why Catholics Pray Through Mary by brocab:
All, and if are still not sure about the bible truth, just call, and I will answer...It doesn't take rocket science to understand the word of God, The Lord wrote the bible simple...Even you could understand it.
I don't believe in infant baptism, and if that child walks his or hers own path "then what" does that mean he/she can live a life of a sinner, and still go into heaven to be with the Lord, without repentance, without forgiveness and without knowing the truth about Christ? Only because you believe infants baptism will give infants the keys to the kingdom of God? It doesn't work that way...
Infant's don't make choices, and the choices made by parents are not always the right one.

Jesus showed us by a good example, He made a choice, He came as a man and He showed the world He was baptised by John the baptise.
He told His disciples to baptise the nations In the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. Baptism comes under repentance, and infants babies haven't the slightest idea 'what sin is, and if they haven't the slightest idea, then it would be silly for them to be baptised and repent.
Baptising babies, doesn't count the cost for saving either the parents nor somebodies else's sins. huh

And if an infant died in the womb he/she is innocent of sin and I believe the child will return to God.
And when a Child is born unto the world then that Child is born into sin....Like you and me...

Christianity EtcRe: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by brocab:
I have asked you kindly and nicely dolphinheart about explaining why your magazine had left out Jesus in the comforters story. And still you have refused to explain the facts.
But to be truthful I already knew you didn't have the answers to my question, only because you and your comrades don't really believe in Christ anyway, this is why none of your magazines really have anything to do with Jesus.
His name is only mentioned to draw in lost souls, people with issues, people who haven't the slightest idea about anything, hurting people who never knew about the love of Christ.

Some from other Churches, protestants Catholic's etc" people who had never given themselves completely over to Jesus our savour, people with problems, these people are targeted by your organisation, at a door to door spree-you move like the wind no one knows which direction you come. Like Child molesters who seeks after the weak, broken families torn apart, falling sort from the love of God.
Satan comes in to steal and kill everything in His path, He takes away the mind of the believer, he uses organisations such as yours, only to draw them further away from the truth about Christ.
And what does your Magazine say about Jesus and the comforter story? nothing...

dolphinheart:
You can prop up each others ego all you want, if you cannot provide the full text of that paragraph, then I can't help you.
You say you read something, you now throw it away, only for you to now say some few words from that same paragraph.

Christianity EtcRe: Why Catholics Pray Through Mary by brocab: 10:52pm On Sep 21, 2016
9 inches being a teacher as yourself I thought you would at least finish the scriptures with the truth, not half finish them without the truth?
{Yes the truth is there, Jesus didn't baptise the man on the cross, nor did He have too. He is the Christ}
And baptism is His witness to claim we belong to Him.
Christian baptism is one of the two ordinance that Jesus instituted for the Church, just before His ascension. Jesus said, "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age {Matthew 28:19-20} These instructions specify that the Church is responsible to teach Jesus word, make disciples, and baptised those disciples. These things are to done everywhere {All nations} until the very end of the age. "So if for no other reason, baptism has importance because Jesus commanded it.
Baptism was practise before the founding of the Church. The Jews of ancient times would baptise proselytes to signify the converts, "cleansed" nature.
John the baptised used baptism to prepare the way of the Lord, requiring everyone not just the Gentiles, to be baptised because everyone needs repentance.
How ever John's baptism,signifying repentance, is not the same as Christian baptism, as seen in {Acts 18:24-26 and 10:1-7} Christian baptism has a deeper significance.
Baptism is to be done in the father the Son and Spirit, this is what makes it "Christian" baptism.
It is through the ordinance that a person is admitted into the fellowship of the Church {Jesus is the Church}
When we are saved we are baptised by the Spirit, into the body of Christ, which is the Church {1 Corinthians 12:13} Say's we were all baptised by one Spirit so as to form one body-weather Jews or Gentiles-free or slave, and we were given all one Spirit to drink, "Baptism by water is an reenactment" of the baptism by the Spirit.
Christian baptism is the means by which a person makes a public profession of faith and discipleship {Infants can not make this confession of faith and discipleship} In the waters of baptism a person say's wordlessly "I confess faith in Christ" Jesus has cleaned my soul from sin, and I now have a new life of sanctification.
A new believer in Jesus Christ should desire to be baptised as soon as possible {Acts 8} Philip speaks the good news about Jesus to the Ethiopian eunuch, and , as they travelled along the road, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Look here is water. What can stand in the way of me being baptised {Acts 8:35-36} Right away they stopped the chariot and Phillip baptised the man.
Everyone can believe in God {Mark 16:16} teaches that baptism is necessary for Salvation. As with any single verse or passage, we concern that it teaches through careful consideration of the language and context of the verse. We also fitter what the bible teaches elsewhere on the subject. In the case of the case of baptism and Salvation, the bible is clear that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by any works of any kind, including baptism {Ephesian 2:8-9} So, any interpretation which comes too the conclusion that baptism, or any other act, or necessary for Salvation, is a faulty interpretation.
This is the most important question in or of Christian theology? this question is caused of reformation, The slit between the protestant Churches and the Catholic Churches. This question is a key difference between biblical Christianity and the Most of the "Christian" cults is Salvation by faith alone, or by faith but works? Am I saved by just believing in Jesus, or do I have to believe in Jesus and do certain things.
The question of faith alone, or faith plus works is made difficult by some hard to reconcile bible passages, compare {Romans 3:28, 5:1 and Galatians 3:24, and with James 2:24} Some see a differences between Paul { Salvation is by Faith alone} and James {Salvation is by faith plus works} Paul says dogmatically says that justification is by faith alone {Ephesians 2:8-9} while James appears to be say justification is by faith plus works.
This apparent problem is answered by examining what exactly what James is talking about. James is refuting the belief that a person could have faith without producing any good works {"James 2:17-18"} James is emphasising the point genuine faith in Christ will produce a changed life with good works {James 2:20-26}
James is not saying is justification is by faith plus works, but rather that a person who is truly justified by faith will have good works in His/Hers life.
If a person claims to be a believer, but has no good works in His/Hers life, then He/She likely does not have genuine faith in Christ {James 2:14, 17,20,26}
Paul says the same thing in his writing. The good fruit believer should have in the lives is listed {Galatians 5:22-23} immediately after telling us we are saved by faith, not works {Ephesians 2:8-9} Paul in forms us that we were created to do good works {Ephesians 2:10} Paul expects just as much a changed life just as James does.
Therefore if anyone is in Christ He is a new creation, the old has gone and the new has come {2 Corinthians 5:17} James and Paul do not disagree in their teaching regarding Salvation. They approach the same subject from different perspectives. Paul simply emphasised that justification is by faith alone while James put emphasise on the fact that genuine faith in Christ produces good works.

Amen................

I believe it's true, dolphinheart doesn't seem to know the times, and how hard is it for a JW to know which paragraph I am preferring too, when I have mentioned time and time again the subject is about the comforters story. No 5 Watchtower Magazine.
So is it true? DOLPHINHEART is either an X JW huh Something doesn't add up, he never seems to have the slightest idea every time we all bring forward a subject from His own Watchtower magazines. I have even notice his own comrades had moved away from his write ups.
Does this mean they don't agree with him either.
Is it because his love for Jehovah is against the Watchtowers teachings, I can recall when no-one listens to the JW's they usually black list you, meaning you are no-longer accepted by them about their false religion.
But it seems dolphinheart don't do what the JW's have been taught to do. He continual's to ram rage against us......

I was waiting for you to mention {Acts Corinthians and Col} these are the scriptures you all seem to head for, when you know you have been put into a corner.
With no evidence this theory doesn't actually claim the children in the houses were infants. And if there were children, they were old enough to have the knowledge to understand why they were baptised, in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit..
Your should look into the mirror and listen to yourself, think before you reply..
The Catholic Church couldn't teach the truth about Christ only because their hearts were far from Him.
As I had explain to you in the past.
How do you expect a child to be taught, the love of God, when that child is either sexually abused, either enslaved, sacrificed, and tormented by the unknowing God, a God of fear, and purgatory will never set them free because of your master's desires?
Please explain, How can a child understand the love of God, when the Catholic Church had changed the truth, the hole truth, and nothing about the truth, so help me God?
9inches:
See, you are even helping me to prove how shallow your knowledge of the bible is, let alone the Catholic Church. Now pay attention. If you had a good understanding of the Catholic Church, you would not have left. Maybe you were taught, maybe you weren't; but baseline is you did not understand. You weren't reading your bible and asking questions, and getting the right answers. You were at the right place but doing the wrong thing. Back then, you were neither a good catholic nor a good Christian and some things elude you because of your ignorance. You were like a student who never knew his school has a free bus service and had been spending money on transportation everyday. Only those who were informed enjoy the free ride. They know the time and place to wait for the bus.

Then you left Catholic and became a protestant and probably started reading the bible. But unfortunately, you are at the wrong place trying to do the right thing. You can read the bible, yes, but under the tutelage of those who have warped understanding of the bible. Denomination cannot put you in heaven but it is a big influence for you making heaven.

On infant baptism: If you believe it to be necessary for salvation to first believe in order to be saved, then that means all babies that die in the womb, all children who die before they have the use of reason, and all those adults who are severely mentally challenged would have no possibility of salvation. We do not believe that. We believe that we are only responsible for what we have the ability to do. In other words, we will not be held accountable for what we could not have known or done (see John 15:22).

Baptism is called by St. Paul "the circumcision of Christ" in Col. 2:11-12. As David mentioned, St. Peter, preaching to thousands of Jews who already understood the idea of a family covenant (they circumcised children) specifically said baptism was "for [them] and their children."
We have numerous people who came to Christ and the apostles could say to them that not only them but their entire "households" would be saved. And sometimes before they even knew who or how many or how old the members of their household were. That implies children being baptized (see I Corinthians 1:16; Acts 11:14; 16:15; 31). Just as in the Old Covenant with circumcision, in the New Testament parents are commanded to baptize their children and they are responsible to do so.

The thief on the cross is a reminder that we are only responsible for what we can do. He could not be baptized, thus, he could be saved by his desire for Christ. But that does not negate the fact that both faith and baptism are necessary for salvation (see Mark 16:16). If he would have been miraculously brought down from the cross, he would have been required to be baptized. If he refused, he would have been lost.

Faith is essential as well, but only if one had the opportunity to believe. But the point here is the injunctions to believe do not eliminate the possibility of infant baptism. The parents' faith and obedience suffices until the child reaches the age of accountability.

Then this replies back to you, if you believe such knowledge about a Child's brain, then with common knowledge wouldn't it be better to allow the child to grow, before baptising them as babies, so He/She could make their own choices instead of listening to yours?
Children grow through knowledge, and its the knowledge that gives them direction in life.
I was baptised as a Roman Catholic by force, and as a Child I never understood any of the religion, nor wanted too. I couldn't understand why the so called upper classed religious leaders of the Catholic Church would sacrifice young children, murdering them all in the name of their God, refusing to marry, and while burning with passion they sexually abuse Young Children mainly boys.
Enslaving the coloured people, taken them away from their love ones that most of those Children back then, never ever seen their blood families ever again.
In My country the Catholic Church ruled over the land, and we called it, the stolen generation.
Jesus was baptised as a child but when he became a man, He made a choice, as a man He was baptised by John the baptised.
l ALSO MADE A CHOICE AS A MAN, AND l TOO WAS BAPTISED AND BECAME A BORN AGAIN BELIEVER, NO DOMINATION IS NEEDED.

Put side by side both of our comments and see for yourself who is more guilty of insulting the other.



No, I'm not aware of such information. Tell me which denomination or religion will have most of its members in heaven. We are not measuring here is Catholic versus other faiths, not holiness of the members.

Dolphinheart it seems you believe we are against you, don't you see the signs, you are the only one out of all the JW's that had chosen to stay around-trying to prove " A Nil"..But you are still sticking it out, you have no evidence in any of the literature's you have written on this page, but if it wasn't for solite3 Johnw74 and myself, and of course our Lord and savour.
Without us who would you call, the {ghost busters} We are your only friends, and you know it..
This is why I am asking my JW friend can he help us with this paragraph, and look it up yourself, the book is in front of you 'isn't it?
Maybe you are also one like me, who also throws this sort of literature out into the rubbish, knowing these magazine's are taken people to hell.

This is why you can not explain the comforters story to us? Dolphinheart what is it you can't relate too, I am asking for your support here, why the JW's had left out Verse five, when that scripture is so important for all viewers to know.
Jesus is alive, today, tomorrow, everyday, Comforting us all.....

the natter under discussion is the paragraph, pls post the full text of the paragraph, then we will examine it!

Can I ask a Question? Calling yourself 9 inches, are you just rude, or are you bragging about yourself, so you want the world to know you are overly large huh
Its funny you know, every time the truth is spoken out, you and all the other religion's I have spoken too, the first thing you all do is throw out insults. To be honest you haven't the slightest idea, about any truth about the bible knowledge.
Most Catholic's will never see into the heavenly realm nor will they spend eternity with the Lord when the time comes. I hope you are aware of this information? There is only one way into Heaven with God, one must be born again, and baptised as a man in the name of the Father the Son and the HolySpirit. Do what Jesus did cool
9inches:
You would require an indefinite amount of time until you are assessed to have grabbed some knowledge. Take it that you are still at a beginner level.
Nothing to explain to me; you cannot give what you do not have.

A child can get an idea about the word of God when the child is taught the way children are taught. Not everything can a child's brain contain.
Go and learn kiddo.

Are you sure you are a JW, you seem to not know the paragraph on this issue. Does not every JW receive each monthly magazine, open up the pages and read about the comforter story, and it will tell you openly who the JW's say who their comforters are, leaving Jesus behind. If I had the magazine, myself, I would even tell you what page it's on, but unfortunately' as I have said in the past, I had anciently throwing the magazine out in the rubbish..Like most of the mags I retrieve...
As far as I am concerned if theirs no evidence of bible truths in anything I read, from other religions, I won't share them to anybody, only because there isn't any life in them to help save a soul....
And unfortunately the Watchtower mags, never shares the truth about Christ..
dolphinheart:
stop acting as if you have issues with understanding words, I asked anyone of you two to post THE FULL TEXT OF THE PARAGRAPH, not sentences in the paragraph that is punctuated by wrong understanding!
Christianity EtcRe: Why Catholics Pray Through Mary by brocab: 10:29am On Sep 18, 2016
How much time do you believe I need, maybe you should correct yourself in bible knowledge, and this will save time trying to explain the truth to you.
Even a child can understand the word of God. But a child can never understand the word of pagan religion, like you can.
9inches:
You need to study more to improve your knowledge. You're still a kid when it comes to religion and theologies therein. Give yourself more time and then come back for assessment.

But wouldn't it make a difference in your life, if you had done what Jesus had done?
When He was a Child He was baptised to custom as a child, and when He became a man He had chosen to be baptised in the Jordan river by John the baptist.
See what you aren't understanding is, many of us are from different denominations, either Catholic's Roman Catholic's Jehovah witnesses, Mormons etc... And the way of baptism children were usually baptised as a child, and many millions today don't even follow after Christ-so what differences did it make in each of their lives? {None}
Jesus made a point by baptism as a man, because babies don't have choices, like men do.

Jesus said one must be born again and be baptised in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit.
We live by faith and choices-And how does a baby have faith to make any choice?

By grace I have been saved thru faith, i have been born of water and the holyspirit and i am a believer.
it is arrogance to presume to know the state of my soul.

My knowledge in the kingdom of God is quite knowledgeable, it is you 'who is the child confused.
Knowing Jesus is my first priority, and studying His word means I am going places.

And to study about the Catholic Church is a goal I have chosen to do, only because your comrades Uben and the others involved, had given myself the information I needed to know the Catholic Church had and still continual's to corrupt the nations with your lessor knowledge of the bible, that you call Religious knowledge.
9inches:
I don't have any trouble understanding anything about the Catholic Church. Your knowledge of Christianity is quite poor, let alone that of the Catholic Church. You can only teach confuse kids, not staunch Catholics like myself.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Catholics Pray Through Mary by brocab: 11:02pm On Sep 15, 2016
No never, I would rather see you saved, and become a born again believer as I am...

After reading the magazine, It was put out in the trash anciently, I find some of your magazines quite interesting, sometimes, how someone would go through all that trouble writing stories without even studying your own bible first?
I had even looked up the NWT bible-just to see {2 Corinthians 1:3-5} and your bible had said what your writer had chosen to leave out of text, and of course everyone knows when you study with the new comers you always read your literature from the Magazines, Not your bibles.
And leaving out Verse 5 no-one would know Jesus still exists today, as He existed back then. And of course no-one would know He is still our comforter, as He was back then.
What Jesus done back then, He is still doing His miracles today, Haven't you heard? In the Name of Jesus be healed.
The comforters story had interest me, how the JW's had left Jesus behind, as the comforter, and He was only our comforter while he performed His miracles while living amongst men.
And by your Magazine He had moved on, leaving Jehovah God and His active force, to finish the Job.

so it's no more accusation, it's now asking a question. You gave your views on what you read from a paragraph in a magazine, to provide the content of that paragraph is now impossible for you to do! continue!
Christianity EtcRe: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by brocab:
It's nice to see you had left your closet, leaving the rest behind really makes a difference- Dolphinheart are you an elder? Or are you a mistress?
Do you actually try hard to win people over into your organisation, or are you studying as it comes.

You seem not to know much about your organisation, and you seem to be a loner, away from the crowd. Is it because your teachings doesn't work side by side with your fellow servants?
None seem to pull you out of the ditch you keep on digging deep down each mile you seem to fall into every time.

Johnw74 doesn't seem to have any trouble finding No 5 2015 Watchtower Magazine you would have received No 5 so what is your problem, why can't you explain the comforter story, and why leave out Verse 5 when it clearly tells us Jesus will always comfort us, even after He is risen.
I believe it was left out of text, only because the JW's don't want people to Know Jesus is still alive today as He was back then.
Everybody knows God, or a God....Even you....
