fredopareto:We believe in the Holy Spirit. About speaking in tongues, we have many languages we preach to people but we don't engage in ecstatic speaking. Why? It wasn't what was done by the early Christians, besides, those gifts are no longer in use. |

Mentorme:After the death of Jesus Christ, the Mosaic Law no longer applied to true Christians — See Romans 7:6, 10:4, Galatians 3:13, Ephesians 2:15, Colossians 2:13-14. But there are lessons to be learnt from the Law so as to know how God views certain matters. |

[quote author=Mentorme post=92379785][/quote] Are you saying Jesus went to preach to Abraham (whose bosom was heaven) was also in prison at the time Jesus died? Remember are talking about Abraham being in heaven even before Jesus paid for the sin of Mankind, So my concern is how Abraham got there when Jesus has not paid for mankind's sins? And about the spirits in prison,was Abraham also inclusive? |

your argument has descended to the realms of the ludicrous with references to wheelbarrow, forklift and electric fan!!! Acts 13:2 "the Holy Spirit said 'separate unto me Paul and Barnabas".. that's a fraud too right? Isaiah 48:16 "the Lord God and His Spirit hath sent me" Acts 5:3 "you lied to the Holy Spirit" Matthew 12.31-32 "blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven".. the words of Jesus... your sect is a pseudo christian sect.. meaning fake christian sect.. that's the truth. I won't mince words. you don't believe in Jesus as divine even when the Bible says in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.. this is apart from the several other verses that prove his Divinity. You choose instead to teach heresies like Jesus is angel Michael, there is no hell, Holy Spirit is just a force, teaching that the second coming of Christ occured in 1914, only 144,000 people to be taken from Israel alone will go to heaven and so on and so forth.. I conclude by saying for the benefit of open minded readers that the Holy Spirit is definitely a person and, in fact, I personally think that his physical appearance was described by Ezekiel in Ezekiel 1:26-28. I have also heard a preacher share my view on this.. Janosky: |

maziuwa:there's no such thing as Christmas celebration in the bible. faithfully servants of God both during pre-Christian and Christian erra did not celebrate Christmas. Jesus our model did not neither did his disciples. and he did not command us to do so. go to jw.or for more information about the origin or history of Christmas celebration. |
