Good News Minister, One of the things that the Bereans did was LISTENED to Paul, and ran what he said up against what scripture says. They listened without perjudice, Good News Minister. They didn't argue, they accepted what is was that Paul told them. Are you like that my friend?? Would it be fair to say what 'everyone else insn't doing if your not doing it yourself?? Have you proved 'all things'?? Have you really proved for yourself what everyone else has been telling you about the trinity is truly a bunch of nonsense, or are you taking someone else's word for it?? |

Pastor Glenn, Your personal perspective would greatly be appreciated in this matter. When do you think that a person should 'kick the dust of their feet' and move on?? I'm thinking about the story that Jesus told about the Wheat and the Tares. It is obvious that we have tares among us. I'm also thinking about that verse in I Cor. 2:14, I think that's the one that says something like, "the natural man understandeth not the things of God". So all things considered, what's your personal take on 'kicking the dust off of our feet' and moving on?? |

Good News Minister, Have you ever heard of the Bereans?? They're a group of people you'll find over in Acts 17. These people are commended for what they did and didn't do. See Paul went to Berea with some strange info., it included things like the long awaited Messiah being crucified and ressurected. Now what these people did was LISTEN without prejudice. They didn't turn a deaf ear to what Paul was saying. They didn't turn a blind eye, and totally disregard what was being said. They LISTEN with all readiness of mind, then they went home and 'searched' the scriptures night and day. Now the word 'searched' in this verse was translated from a greek word implying, 'to do a thorough investigation of a matter'. What was the matter that they did a thorough investigation of?? Scripture, of course. And guess what they found out?? That the things that Paul was teaching was true. That's an example that WE ALL should follow. But we don't ALL follow it, do we?? |

107 | True or False?? | Rom 1:21 | TheCurtMan | 87989 | ||
Yeah, You don't think it would be better to avoid hell on this side if at all possible?? I mean I know you don't believe in Heaven or Hell, but have you ever taken the time to investigate the scriptures that talks about Heaven and Hell, other than through the distorted lens of the Watchtower?? If Hell really could be avoided you wouldn't want to try and avoid it on this side of life?? You would much rather wait until you're in the position to do absolutely nothing about when you find out about it's exsistance, right?? Much like the man in the story?? Well since Heaven and Hell is an age old question, let me ask you something fresh, 'Why are you so afraid??' I'm interested in what you believe and why. I would also like to discuss with you what I believe and why. I'm interested in an open two way communication with you. We both profess to be Christians. Our beliefs goes in two different directions. If I'm wrong in what I believe, and you're right, then I simply go six feet under and of story. No physical ressurection; No Heaven; No Hell, not even a midnight snack. However; if you're wrong and I'm right, well you know what I believe in, and it's going to be all painful if you don't get your relation with Jesus together before check-out time. I'm willing to sit down and discuss our differences. Let me leave you with two more questions?? I Thes. 5:21, What does it mean?? and Is it a commandment?? |

Good News Minister, Greetings. After reading what you believe to be true about the trinty, I wanted to share a story with you, because you remind me of the guy in the story. There was this guy that lived in New York. He didn't believe in gravaty. Didn't matter what scientist showed him. Didn't matter what his friends told him. He just didn't believe in the exsistance of gravaty. One day, to prove how foolish everyone was with this gravaty nonsense, he found the tallest bldg. in the city, climbed to the roof, walked to the edge, and stepped off. What do you think happened to him?? Two things really, the second thing that happened was that he went 'splat' all over the ground. The first thing that happened to him was that he had a revelation, gravaty DID exsist. Unfortunately for him, at the time of this revelation, he wasn't in the position to do anything about it. The Trinity is alot like that, if you're not careful, by the time you find out that the Trinty really do exsist, you're not going to be in the position to do anything about it. |

Hey RM2, I really don't have the time at present to read your entire posting, but let's get real about Proverbs 8:22. It can not be applied in the way that Witnesses say it is for a variety of reasons. My personal favorite is this, the first nine chps. of Proverbs is referring to Wisdom. If 8:22 is in reference to Christ, then all nine chps. are in reference to Christ as well. In short order, according to these nine chps. Christ is a woman; yelling in the streets; Christ live in a house with seven pillars, and Christ is living with someone named Purdence. IT JUST DON'T ADD UP!! I will read your post in it's entirety.

Well golly gee, You ever consider that God might use man to give this person the answer that they might need. I mean isn't this the purpose of Pastors and Ministers, for the edification of the body, to help the children of God to know the things of God?? As a matter of fact, alot of my answers to prayers came through a PERSON that was open to the leading of the Lord. |

Good Morning Truthfinder, Thanks for answering my question. I was kinda hoping that we could stick to one text of scripture at a time. Too many passages of scripture at one time, and I'll be coming and going at the same time. Yesterevening I did some studying on what you said, about Elohim. This is what I found. Elohim INDICATES a Plurality in Unity. It is used of Idols. Ex. 34:17, "You shall make no molden godS for yourselves." More than one. It is used of Men. Psalms 82:6, "I said you are godS, and all of you are children of the Most High." More than one. It is used of Angels. Psalms 97:7, "Let all be put to shame who serve carved images, who boast of idols. Worship Him, all you godS." More than one. If Elohim indicate a plurality in unity, and in everyother case it is used, it is referring to a group; it is referring to more than a single individual, then why in the case of Jehovah the word is taken out of it's original meaning to indicate a single individual?? "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth. God-Elohim-Plurality in Unity. God the Father; God the Son; and God the Holy Spirit. It seems to me that you're using the correct definition of Elohim 99 percent of the time with one exception. This definition tends to use Elohim in it's context 100 percent of the time. But you're not understanding this are you?? |

Hey Truthfinder, You said, 'When applying to Jehovah, 'Elohim is used as a plural of majesty, dignity, or excellence. Could you break this down and explain it to me?? Let me tell you what I know, "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth." Now Elohim was used in this verse, my question is who created the heavens and the earth, Jehovah or Jesus?? Scripture indicates a plurality, and you're trying to tell me something different. I understand scripture, what I'm not comprehending is your point of view. |

You know Truthfinder, I wouldn't be so quick to draw comparrisons between Jehovah and Allah. It's to my understanding that Allah is a very impersonal god. He doesn't work in the lives of the individual. My God is very personal. He wants a relationship with me personally. The last time I checked, He was making claims to knowing the number of hairs on my head. The original question was, "What do the term 'Son of' means??" "How was this term applied in Jesus' day??" I don't think that you're going to find the answer in the Koran, so I'll tell you. The term 'Son of' was kinda like a figure of speech back in Jesus' day. It could mean the male child of a father, and on occasions that was how it was applied. But mostly the term was used in referrance to something with the exact same nature and quility. Think about it, when Jesus claimed to be the 'Son of' God. They knew that he wasn't so much claiming to be the male child of God, but He was making professions to having the exact same nature and quilities of God. He was proclaiming to BE God, that's why they tried to stone Him. Deffinitions for words today differ from the definitions for words two thousand years ago. Do the homework yourself, let me know what you come up with. The CurtMan |

117 | Jehovah's Witnesses, please read | Rom 3:4 | TheCurtMan | 87769 | ||
PART 2 Prediction 1. Millennial Dawn, Vol. II, The Time is at Hand, yr. 1888. "In view of this strong Bible evidence concerning the Times of the Gentiles, we consider it an established truth that the final end of the kingdoms of this world, and the full establishment of the Kingdom of God, will be accomplished by the end of A.D. 1914." Prediction 2. Millions Now Living Will Never Die, 1920. "The chief thing to be restored is the human race to life; and since other Scriptures definitely fix the fact that there will be a resurrection of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and other faithful ones of old, and that these will have the first favor, we may expect 1925 to witness the return of these faithful men of Israel from the condition of death, being resurrected and fully restored to perfect humanity and made the visible, legal representatives of the new order of things on earth. Prediction 3. Awake Mag. Oct. 8th, 1966, under the heading, '6,000 Years Completed in 1975. "In what year, then, would the first 6,000 years of man's existence and also the first 6,000 years of God's rest day come to an end? The year 1975." For those who need help understanding Prediction 3, in short order it goes something like this. God created the world in 6 dys. On the 7th day He rested. Man will rule the earth for 6,000 years, thereafter; Christ will come and rule for 1,000 years. All this will take place around 1975. The Jehovah's Witnesses are in need of prayer and help. They are guilty of not doing their own studying, but they're also guilty of being brain-washed by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. Let's not belittle them, or degrade them because of their anti-biblical beliefs. The CurtMan |

PART 1 I would like to add some quotations of my own in referrance to the tactics and the belief of the Watchtower. The Jehovah's Witnesses are consistantly being told that they can not study, or understand the bible without the Watchtower. In a Watchtower article, Jan. 15, 1983, under the heading, 'Avoid Independent Thinking', the Watchtower had this to say, "How is such independent thinking manifested? A common way is by questioning the counsel that is provided by God's visible organization.". A book called, 'Qualified To Be Ministers', under Private Study 39, Studying the Watchtower, was this; "If we have love for Jehovah and for the organization of his people we shall not be suspicious, but shall, as the Bible says, 'believe all things,' all the things that The Watchtower brings out, in as much as it has been faithful in giving us a knowledge of God's purposes and guiding us in the way of peace, safety and truth from it inception to this present day." I personally found this to be a lie and a deception on behalf of the Watchtower because of these three predictions.... |

You know Truthfinder, You speak like a Church Official. You have the ability to explain what you believe like a teacher of sorts. You said to remember what Elohim means, but elohim has a variety of meanings, but my personal favorite is 'plurallity in unity', is that the one you're referring to?? It does describe God you know. If you get the oppertunity, and only if you so desire, could you please explain the term 'son of' to me?? Are you aware of how that term was applied during Jesus' day?? Are you aware of what it means?? |

Hey Jim, Judging from your last three questions, it seems that you need prayer and a shoulder to lean on. If this is true, contact me at TheCurtMan000@AOL.Com. or 202 610-0423. Let's talk. I believe that we should bear one another's burden. The CurtMan |
