    Our Moral God

    All of God's truth is in an untrustworthy bible? Then we would have to have a priest of some sort explain it to us, to tell us which parts are fact and which fiction. That's what those reformers were trying to reform from, so the common man could read the Bible in his own language without the...

    A missing Link to Genesis 1:6 God said, “I command a dome to separate the water above it from the water below it.”

    Yeah, it's pretty confusing that the crust of the earth is called "heavens", and the firmament of the heavens is not the one under those heavens.

    Our Moral God

    But how could the Holy Spirit allow a version to be published that only corrected some errors? That means the Holy Spirit was OK with the remaining errors. And, how do you know that the corrections have all been made? Might there be more corrections needed? Maybe some of the things that were...

    So you're retracting your previous statement?

    Our Moral God

    Why could it not happen more quickly, if the Holy Spirit were guiding the translators? Are you saying that they changed the text back to what it originally was, but not right away? In other words, they made some mistakes in their translation at first? When did they finally get it all right?

    Our Moral God

    And, because your translation of the Bible was written after those >1000 years, and because the texts used at that time for generating your English translation were copies made during those >1000 years, your sect must have used corrupted Greek and Hebrew texts, in your view. Your own position...

    Then you're saying that the gates of hell have prevailed against the true church for over 1000 years, right?

    Then my body, being part of me, is part of my soul, since you say my soul is ALL of me. Yes, I agree with you.

    Which was lacking the holy Spirit for how many years before the Watchtower was founded?

    God is one.

    Oops. I never responded. Good post, by the way. I appreciate that you give scripture and explain why you think that scripture applies. You've suggested a way it might be possible for the language to allow for multiple seas, but I don't think it does. If I own multiple homes, and my family is...

    Just don't ask her how to spell "centaur".

    Is God in here? Everybody else has to get a permit (read the sign).

    Is eternal suffering literal?

    Sure. Can you tell me why you think that's pertinent?

    Is eternal suffering literal?

    One more thought. John the Baptist was in two parts, the head, given to the daughter of Herodias, who then gave it to Herodias, and the headless body. Nobody in Herod's court wanted the body, but someone had already claimed the head. Thus, the scripture gives additional details of the condition...

    Is eternal suffering literal?

    I'm here to discuss things to find out truth. I hope to provide truth as well, when I can. Thus, I am here to debate and not just to preach without anyone questioning my doctrine. If you are only here to preach, you shouldn't stick around. Your doctrine should be accountable to God's word, like...

    Is eternal suffering literal?

    Go look it up, I've shared it with you before. No, not a dichotomy that identifies a bodiless soul. Sure it was. But the reference is to "He", not "his body". So the identity follows the body, not the soul. When there's no life, "he" is dead. If the identification is with the soul, then "he"...

    Is eternal suffering literal?

    The only remaining option is to speak without anyone ever questioning one's doctrine, meaning either "I'm always right," or "everybody's right." Neither of those concepts are aiming at finding truth.
