Yap. And I know how to follow those not honest-hearted. We can dance azonto together without giving them what is holy. So that they will keep being in the dark. When I see those sincere, we ll have what is called a bible discussion. For now, its good to dance.
wish you would stop giving us what is holy to you:

jw, which say they are Christians and are not but do lie, and are the church of satan, say:

"the Word is "a god"

Christ' body was not resurrected etc etc"


Yes you should stop giving us those lies which are holy to you,
but you-supposed jw won't as you just said you would, because you lie, just like you breathe,
all the time.

goodnews201668:
Don't go yet I told you I still have other questions.

Well I appreciate the fact that you believe that thoughts, plans and purposes stops at death which is in agreement with the Bible.

Though you still believe one can still be alive after death, yes through your statement that man is truine in nature.
If so it betrays the idea that thoughts, purposes and plans cease to exist at death and that would also contradict the Bible that stated the dead are unconscious.
I also noticed you embrace the resurrection hope.
Resurrection means to revive or bring back to life, if you alive after death the hope of resurrection will be meaningless.
Opposite of life is death!, either you are alive or you are dead helpless, unconscious and awaits resurrection.
The Bible doesn't teach anything like half dead or dead physically and alive in spirit.
One is either dead or alive.
Two extremes.
You didn't explain the portions of the Bible I cited(Romans 6:7 and 6:23).
Again we are created in God's image as you said right. But the scriptures does not support the idea that man is spirit, I believe those were you ideas or what you think.
Being created in God's image doesn't mean we are spirits like God rather we can live and reflect God's qualities.
God already created uncountable number of spirit beings in heaven before creating humans so he had in mind something different.
1 Corinthians 15:40 says there is earthly body and heavenly body.
The last time I checked the Bible said only after resurrection can one possibly assume a spirit body.
1 Corinthians 15:43,44 Talks about faithful ones going to heaven as been down like a seed in flesh(describes death) and are made alive in spirit (That's resurrection)
PONDER OVER THIS if one is dead and his spirit is alive the Bible won't talk about resurrecting a person as a spirit being.
Again at (Luke 20:34-36) Jesus made mention of faithful resurrected ones not getting married because they'll be like Angels and will be sons of God!
So transforming someone to a spirit life means the person is worthy of a heavenly life and have no need to dwell on the earth. Because corruption can't inherit incorruptible.
Jude 1:7 is not talking about what will happen in the future as you said, because you rightly pointed out it will serve as a warning example. So the Bible using fire in this instance was figurative, the fire burned enternal in the sense the destruction was everlasting.

Lastly I actually cited (Revelations 20:15) That said hell and death were thrown into the lake of fire which means the second death.
You didn't say anything about it, are they (death and hell) also sinners? Doesn't the fire mentioned mean destruction or second death?
Duh, who cares about supposed jw questions,

analice said: "After now, I won't reply to you anymore."

but supposed jw doesn't know the truth when they see it.


Like jmano who said "I won't reply to you again"

and replied to me the very next day cheesy

When supposed jw lie they are speaking naturally.

Nothing was made except what the Word made, the Word - God's Spirit, has of course always existed

Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Job 33:4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

Can you see that, the Spirit of God - the Word Jesus Christ, has made me,
the Word is God, He is God's own Spirit, the breath of the Almighty, God and the Word is God.



Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

You are an atheist and you use the Bible to mock baby Christians who don't know much.

Whenever you are told the truth you start causing others, this is what you have been doing on all the threads that bothers on JW.
Stop behaving like a child, be a man and stand and defend the truth for once stop looking for straws here and there to hold.
I am glad you have been shown maturity no one is retaliating or acting like you.
Why don't you stop misrepresenting the Bible and support the truth. Come on I expected some decorum from you in this forum.
Why do you still think I want to have a discussion with evil jw,
I have showed you and every other jw wrong at one time or another,
and I will again.

Trying to show supposed jw truth would be like teaching satan how to be good.

Are you still seeing Paul Grundy's? that's the devil in you, you know.

You couldn't be more wrong, the truth doesn't need defending, It just needs being told.
I show truth with scripture, and supossed jw's reject it.

Supposed jw are constantly defending, not the truth, but their false beliefs.

I never misrepresent the Bible, but supposed jw who changed the Word was God, to the Word was "a" god cannot help but lie and misrepresent and change the Bible.

English teacher, I no go school. Let us see you that went to school. I said:



You replied:



First, your sentence shows lack of grammatical knowledge. Yet you deem it fit to talk about English.

The bold face; you acknowledged from the above that what you mentioned is in the plural while I asked for a church. Who then is not understanding english? You whose sentence is more of grammatical disunity. "are" and then "a name", and "church". Teacher Emusan, if you dont know how to convey your thoughts well in english you ask for help. English teacher!



You should have stated you were a spiritual prostitute. Why should I be like you? Do I not read Eph 4:4, 5 and 1cor 1:10?

[size=14pt]Jehovah's Witnesses and their many false prophecies[/size]

by Matt Slick

The Witnesses make many claims in their attempt to convert you to their faith. They profess to have the only true Christian church, to be the only true representatives of God, to have the only correct Biblical teaching, and to be the only true announcers of Jehovah's coming kingdom.

If they are the only true church and are the only true voice of God's Word, then what they say should prove to be true and especially in prophecy. When it comes to predicting the future, the Watchtower organization fails miserably. Following are some of the false predictions made over the years by the Watchtower organization. If you present these to a JW, he will probably say something like, "Those are taken out of context," or "They didn't claim to be the prophet of God," or "The light is getting brighter, and we are understanding Bible prophecy better now," etc. Make a copy of these false prophecies, found in the appendix, and give it to them to check. They are right out of the Witnesses' literature.

Remember Deut. 18:22, "If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him." If someone makes a false prophecy and they have claimed to be a prophet of God, then they are false prophets and are not to be listened to. Do the Witnesses claim to be the prophet of God? Yes, they do.

In 1972 the Jehovah's Witness Watchtower claimed to be the prophet of God.

IDENTIFYING THE "PROPHET"--"So does Jehovah have a prophet to help them, to warn them of dangers and to declare things to come? These questions can be answered in the affirmative. Who is this prophet? . . . This "prophet" was not one man, but was a body of men and women. It was the small group of footstep followers of Jesus Christ, known at that time as International Bible Students. Today they are known as Jehovah's Christian Witnesses . . . Of course, it is easy to say that this group acts as a 'prophet' of God. It is another thing to prove it," (Watchtower, Apr. 1, 1972, p. 197). (See Deut. 18:21).

1897 "Our Lord, the appointed King, is now present, since October 1874," (Studies in the Scriptures, vol. 4, p. 621).
1899 " . . . the 'battle of the great day of God Almighty' (Revelation 16:14), which will end in A.D. 1914 with the complete overthrow of earth's present rulership, is already commenced," (The Time Is at Hand, 1908 edition, p. 101).
1916 "The Bible chronology herein presented shows that the six great 1000 year days beginning with Adam are ended, and that the great 7th Day, the 1000 years of Christ's Reign, began in 1873," (The Time Is at Hand, forward, p. ii).
1918 "Therefore we may confidently expect that 1925 will mark the return of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the faithful prophets of old, particularly those named by the Apostle in Hebrews 11, to the condition of human perfection," (Millions Now Living Will Never Die, p. 89).
1922 "The date 1925 is even more distinctly indicated by the Scriptures than 1914," (Watchtower, Sept. 1, 1922, p. 262).
1923 "Our thought is, that 1925 is definitely settled by the Scriptures. As to Noah, the Christian now has much more upon which to base his faith than Noah had upon which to base his faith in a coming deluge," (Watchtower, Apr. 1, 1923, p. 106).
1925 "The year 1925 is here. With great expectation Christians have looked forward to this year. Many have confidently expected that all members of the body of Christ will be changed to heavenly glory during this year. This may be accomplished. It may not be. In his own due time God will accomplish his purposes concerning his people. Christians should not be so deeply concerned about what may transpire this year," (Watchtower, Jan. 1, 1925, p. 3).
1925 "It is to be expected that Satan will try to inject into the minds of the consecrated, the thought that 1925 should see an end to the work," (Watchtower, Sept., 1925, p. 262).
1926 "Some anticipated that the work would end in 1925, but the Lord did not state so. The difficulty was that the friends inflated their imaginations beyond reason; and that when their imaginations burst asunder, they were inclined to throw away everything," (Watchtower, p. 232).
1931 "There was a measure of disappointment on the part of Jehovah's faithful ones on earth concerning the years 1917, 1918, and 1925, which disappointment lasted for a time . . . and they also learned to quit fixing dates," (Vindication, p. 338).
1941 "Receiving the gift, the marching children clasped it to them, not a toy or plaything for idle pleasure, but the Lord's provided instrument for most effective work in the remaining months before Armageddon," (Watchtower, Sept. 15, 1941, p. 288).
1968 "True, there have been those in times past who predicted an 'end to the world', even announcing a specific date. Yet nothing happened. The 'end' did not come. They were guilty of false prophesying. Why? What was missing? . . . Missing from such people were God's truths and evidence that he was using and guiding them," (Awake, Oct. 8, 1968).
1968 "Why are you looking forward to 1975?" (Watchtower, Aug. 15, 1968, p. 494).

A JW might say that the organization is still learning. If that is so, then how can they trust what they are taught now by the Watchtower? Will what they are being taught now change also?



A true prophet of God won't err in prophesying. Only a false prophet does. The Jehovah's Witness organization, that claims to be a prophet of God, is really a false prophet. Jesus warned us by saying, "For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect--if that were possible" (Matt. 24:24).

Please Scholar8200, malvisguy212 and others who know a lot about the Christian faith come in and contribute.............

I have recently discovered a problem which might pose a threat to the authenticity of the Gospels and the authority of the New Testament... I noticed a significant difference between Matthew's gospel and other gospels. In Matthew's gospel, the event of Matthew's calling to discipleship happens before the event of the healing of the demon possessed man but in other gospels, Matthew's calling takes place after the event of healing the demon possessed.... I want to know if anything has been said about it..... Thanks for contributing.........
You said in a post that you don't believe Paul etc. but you believe in Jesus Christ because you believe the Gospels
And now you are trying to tear apart the Gospels

dolphinheart:
1. I quoted your words before I said it was a lie
2. I underlined the specific words that are lies in your sentences
3. I explained why they are lies.
4. I gave examples of how the relationship between the father and son is.
5. I asked you to present to me questions or points you made in your post which you accuse me of not responding to, you did not do so.
6. I gave you some points about Jesus, you did not respond to it.
7. I asked you some questions about Jesus and the father, you have up till this moment refused to respond to it.
Okay I found what you underlined and called a lie:

johnw74: The Father God begat Jesus, meaning Jesus is of the Father, God is Spirit, the Word-Jesus Christ is that same God spirit, just as you are the same human spirit and flesh as your father.
And this is what you said about it:

dolphinheart: this is where lies are creeping in into your explanations. I've asked and I've received no response, is Jesus the same person as the father? is Jesus the father?
your father gave birth to you, you HAVE the same spirit and flesh, not " you are " the same spirit and flesh(as you are trying to portray). you are two different persons who could talk, discuss, see, and be with each other. The scriptures have shown extensively that Jesus and Jehovah does this too. The person who Sat at the right hand of the Majesty on high is not the same spirit as the the Majesty on high!
Duh, If you received no response, do you think it could be because I said reply to mine (which you didn't) and I will answer yours.

Of course the son is not the Father what a ridiculous question.

You say I have the same spirit and flesh as my father
but I am not the same spirit and flesh as my father, smiley ha ha you so confused,
would that be a lie, it must be because it is wrong, stop lying dolphin

The Father and the Son talk with each other, are two diffrent persons, really, your post is so enlightening

So do you have scripture showing that the Father and the Son have diffrent spirits, of course you don't
God and the Word are one God because they have the one same Spirit
Only the Father and the Son have God's Spirit, humans have the human spirit, God'spirit can live in believers
but believers are not off God's spirit, the Word-the only begotten son is off God's spirit.

I know it's impossible for you to understand this, but some others will.





Please repost my other lies that you accuse off, so I can show you again who the liar-accuser is.

No, supposed jw's are not Christians, but are modern day pharacees, they teach that the Word was "a god"
they don't believe these scriptures:


Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one.

Joh 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

Mat 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

1Jn 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
