    Why do you gather in houses?

    All those who assemble in the house for a meeting can sing on his or her own and bring a hymn, also there should be no objection to bring forth some thoughts. Any child, youngster of adult (male or female) can contribute to the whole gathering. But we have to let everything occur with a...

    A question about unitarians?

    the best thing is to continue to read the full Bible with an open mind and to let you be guided without holding to those dogmas people brought in by the ages. Then you will be able to find the differences between Yahweh/Jehovah and Jesus/Yeshua ans you shall be able to fully understand that it...

    What happens when we die?

    Yes 2Tim 4:1 says clearly that Jesus shall judge who shall enter the Kingdom of God. Jesus shall separate the people (Mat 25:31,32) and they shall have to give account for what they have done (Mat 12:36) Though we can not resurrect from ourselves out of the grave (Job 7:8,9) Jesus brought the...

    It is a good thing that youngsters and those with lesser experience or knwoledge of the Bible can have their say in an environment where they feel at ease to say something. Daring to speak in such an acepting community shall give them more assurance to dare to speak in front of strangers at the...

    What happens when we die?

    that is just what we are saying as well = the place of death. Jesus went into the ground. Jesus did not go to a place of tormentation.

    There are always different duties which encircle us, but you shall find it great when you shall be able to feel the compensation for the time you made free for reading the Bible. Even when it takes two years to get through a complete reading of the 66 books. The best thing you can do after you...

    differences between the JW's and Christadelphians

    It is good that youngsters do get a chance to speek in front of many. Lots of adults in other denominations should learn from that. Each Christian should be more daring to speak about his belief at work and his own environment.

    I feel very lost!

    Strange that after 17 replies nobody went deeper into the fact that you do not seem to accept what is really written in the Bible, the Word of God. In the first instance you thought right: "that Bible is the only truth and authority, and that it is scripture alone that should be guiding us." And...

    is jesus god?

    I do believe that those persons who want to do what Jesus asked and follow his example may call themselves Christians as they follow Jesus. Jesus, the Nazarene never claimed to be God and never wanted that others claimed that he was or is God. As a Jew he also never claimed to come to bring a...

    differences between the JW's and Christadelphians

    Before I became a Cd I was a non-Trinitarian Baptist and as you say, when we went from door to door then it was more to get the members into our church = a sort of advertising what we did and inviting them to come and have a look ... more then the preaching itself. But as a Cd we do talk more...

    Luckilly a lot of them also found other non-Trinitarian organisations to affiliate with. The same for the non-trinitarian Baptists who had to find ways out since from the eighties the Church unions got more power and the Baptists became more and more Trinitarian and not leaving openings to other...

    differences between the JW's and Christadelphians

    By paying the penalty for our sins by dying, this would mean the end of our life, because after death is nothing any more, and shall we become dust. the reason why Jesus had to die is very important. First of all there had to be a final Lamb slaughtered for the remissions of sins. Jesus...

    As a retired teacher I know the system but also see the dangers in it. But as it can trigger youngsters to dare to give answers, which is a good thing. I do hope they stil can find time out of all the reading material offered by their organisation, to be able to search more thoroughly in the...

    John 8:58 and Trinitarians.

    on this topic der Alter wrote: "And in the Trinity none is before or after another; none is greater or less than another, but all three Persons are co-eternal together and co-equal. So that in all things, as is aforesaid, the Unity in Trinity and the Trinity in Unity is to be worshipped." but...

    From Genesis Itake it that everybody has to die = 1st death. Everybody has to pay that penalty, but for those who believe and trust Jesus there is that special Hope. In Christ Jesus we have the example to what can happen to our body. We can come back to life. And God has promissed His followers...

    On an other place in this forum I wanted to react on sayings about the Cd. It was not yet published so I try placing it here as well because it is about the same matter. You seem to find it disturbing that certain believes which you can find by the JW are able to be found by others...

    Yes the method itself works. A difference in opinnion does not have to mean that there should be made a devission in a group. As you say If you were to form an independent spirit, pushing your personal agenda this spreading of Good News could be in danger and be more difficult. But it can be...

    differences between the JW's and Christadelphians

    Dear Steve, you are right to say that there are several groups by the Christadelphians. but in a certain way the original Bible Students and later the Jehovah Witness had also people who went away from the original group. Today you have also a lot of ex-JW groups and denominations that found...

    What is a cult?

    You seem to find it disturbing that certain believes which you can find by the JW are able to be found by others, like the Cd. But would you not find it logical when people use the same books to build up their believes, that they shall have similar points of believe? You bring on...
