• The JW way of interpretation of the Bible.

    They, in many instances, declare what is written in English is to be interpreted exactly as written, not considering the context in which it was written, not what the original language meant. Such as thou shalt not rCLkillrCY old English which at that time meant to murder with intent. Today that word is translated as rCymurderrCO.

    Here, using the style of the JW when discussing scripture is another such instance, done so in the style of the way they mangle the truth of Ecclesiastes.

    Support the homosexuals and do so by placing them at the front in all their gatherings, and do so because in James is says to do so.

    Jas 2:3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say
    unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:

    There again is an excellent example of them misunderstanding the bible
    because the pull a verse out of scripture, to construe a rCLJW truthrCY totally ignoring both the word rCyGayrCO as to its meaning, as well as
    pulling the verse totally out of the context in which it was written.

    Look at the chapter yourself, look at the context of the chapter, then take a Webster dictionary written before 1875 AD and see what the word rCLGayrCY actually meant.

    This is how one should take their so-called biblical truths and deconstruct them to put them into what God actually meant. Of course there is a better way, and that would be to be dependent on Jesus as our source of salvation, and our deliverer, to allow the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth, rather than be dependent totally upon men, and their traditional beliefs.

    Know why there are so many religions that war against one another? It is because Satan as taken a foothold in the minds of men who declare they are
    the ones who know the truth, the best way, and so divisiveness and contentiousness is the rule of the day and brotherly love takes a back seat
    to all of them, then that eventually leads them into cultism and as a consequence they now live in self-righteousness and not the gift of the Righteousness of God the Heavenly Father.

    Actually, because of those things, we believe the way we do.
    Scriptures of truth should not contradict other Scriptures, they
    should be reasonable, they should advance you spiritually. They should
    stand up to any research.

    Such as thou shalt not
    okillo old English which at that time meant to murder with intent. Today >that word is translated as amurderA.

    Either way, it takes a life. Something that God says is sacred.

    I believe we present Bible truth quite appropriately there.

    You are NOT discussing JW beliefs. You have us mixed up with some
    other religious organization. HOMOSEXUALY IS CONDEMNED IN THE BIBLE.
    And so it is by JW's.

    Look at the chapter yourself, look at the context of the chapter, then take a >Webster dictionary written before 1875 AD and see what the word oGayo >actually meant.

    Target your info to the person who made the comment.

    Yes, JW's use the Holy Spirit in all that they do.

    Yes, and Jesus said about wars:

    -- New King James
    Matthew 5:44 "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who
    curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who
    spitefully use you and persecute you,

    Thus any country that claims to be Christian must pray and love their
    enemies.
