Yep, you aren't here to listen. What is left? I know you JW's hate 'pagan' holidays, but call your mother and tell her you love her anyway.
:nono: RATHER I am interested in giving tools to those who are in Christ and showing them what is wrong with your doctrine.
You aren't in my league and I generally have all anti-Trinitarians on ignore. Most of you are one-trick ponies with no theological depth for anything else God is concerned about. You guys are too busy promoting WatchTower snippets to actually be reading your bibles every day. Me? I am promoting what I'm reading from my bible every day. That's the difference.
Funny you "couldn't" do as I requested. Your disdain is a puff of hot air and sadly lacking language skills. You are nowhere near as able to even produce proper English, let alone anything else. Just remember, you 'tried' to draw blood first with this ad hominem. I could care less what a third-grader thinks. Every JW commentary, frankly, is a joke of excusing behaviors and relying on people who comment 'about' Greek, than being able to read it themselves. Let me offer you a moment of honest introspection: Find ANY JW who can read from a Greek passage of your choosing and tell you what it means. Try!
Yes. It is. I'm going to say a word. It often is used as a personal slam. This is not the case: You are an ignoramus. It means you haven't the first clue what blasphemy is. Perhaps, after today, you'll know. Pay attention, please.
Profane, means to use something holy, as 'common.' Because the word "God" represents One Who is Holy, using it for ANYTHING, other than sanctity, is profane.
While it is true the Lord Jesus Christ said "you are gods," it is wrong to claim any of God's uncommunicable attributes. Not just 'wrong' but blasphemous. We are only 'gods' in any sense that we are 'created' in His image. Because we are already called "man" which means a creation of God in His image, saying we are gods or Elohim etc. is blasphemy. The Lord Jesus Christ can say you are 'godly' but in no sense are we of the divine past being creations in His image.
Again, simply saying "Oh My G--" is and always has been called blasphemy and using His name profanely (commonly, less than holy).
I mean by 'ignoramus" that you don't know what you are talking about AND don't know you don't know. Perhaps now, you are an ignoramus no longer. This is my hope.
Forgive my boast, but I am intellectually superior. I know exactly what your prowess is. I'm not trying to be mean, nor trying to practice false humility.
A knowledgeable person who studies to show himself an approved workman? 2 Timothy 2:15 Colossians 4:6
:nono: I'm neither pompous nor falsely humble. I can do what I claim and nothing more, and nothing less.
Sadly, every cult has a standby verse, pulled out of context, and then wickedly tossed (in desperation and because they are beaten, frankly) at the feet of their 600 opponents (1 to 600 of them). You, I, we know they are at the end because they have nothing left and cannot muster anything, having not been studied approved workman. 2 Timothy 2:15 The shame is that you didn't study and are reliant upon others who didn't study either, in the JW Hall. They were ruined and so pronounced a curse in lazy admonition as you saw them too, pronounce a lazy know-nothing contemptuous accusation themselves. And so, it propagates from lazy unapproved cultists who lack sufficient study, to lazy unapproved cultist, lazy, lacking sufficient study. Start with 15 minutes, at least, every day, reading your bible and praying, asking God for wisdom. Leave the WT studies for another time.
I don't want you to join "my" Kingdom Hall or church. I simply want you to read and understand scriptures. We have two separate reasons for posting on TOL. I simply want you to know what it actually says. -Lon
