ok, first of all i have no problem with Christ words, secondly, Jehovahs Witnesses did not write this statement,
Regarding this text, The New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology (edited by C. Brown, 1978, Vol. 3, p. 304) states: “Matt. 10:28 teaches not the potential immortality of the soul but the irreversibility of divine judgmen ...[text shortened]... anisation, preaching and teaching, from house to house as Christ commands, no nether can I.
Are you able to understand what Christ said on your own?
Why do you need Brown to help you?

Gosh , Robbie. I was wrong about you. I thought you were seriously interested in spirituality, which is in no way fully defined by any means.
They should start a separate "clown spirituality" forum for you.
they were serious questions. Perhaps if you had've answered them you may have may some inroads into my arguement.
So you rest your case? Oh thats good. At least I wont have to bother with you replying on this one.

So in the spirit of love I ask you: Are my questions not worth answering?
Am I to be discarded because I dont argue with scripture?
Is this not a spirituality forum and not a christian one? (let alone a Jehovas Witness one)

What is the origin of Christendoms belief in an immaterial, immortal soul?
“The Christian concept of a spiritual soul created by God and infused into the body at conception to make man a living whole is the fruit of a long development in Christian philosophy.

clowns,
blinkered,
laughable,
refuted,
stupid
archaic
living in the past,
devoid of reality
and so forth,
would you for one minute stay in the company of someone who thus described you as such, i wouldn't, no yappy dogs and no antagonists.
i have given our definition and appraisal of spiritual and it was met with the above, believe what you want, i myself am only interested in statements within a purely scriptural context or relating to such, you are naturally of course free to discuss any other context with anyone who cares for it. It is a public forum after all.
Originally posted by menace71Sorry no comment, that has also been answered by Galvo a zillion times, fess up, immortality of the soul and thus the idea that something transcends death is originally Babylonian and was absorbed into so called 'Christianity', through essentially Hellenistic pagan philosophical influences. Read it and weep. Its just like an enemy of truth to treat such scholarly works as 'mumbo jumbo'.

i am sorry but both your tone and your explanations are particularly shallow even by your standards, let us just by way of example highlight your 'take', on Ecclesiastes, shall we, here are your words,
The ruminations of self-described fool? is this a personal confession? or a comment upon Solomon, of whom the Queen of Sheba states that she did ...[text shortened]... use discernible and effective methods, this is just bumf and is unworthy of further comment.
The very point of the book was to think from the standpoint of futility, i.e., to consider life as from the perspective of those who think it all ends here. It isn't until the very end of the book that the divine perspective is brought into view.
And you, ever the eager manipulator, ever the willing twister of truth, quote a verse as though it is doctrine from God. The idiocy involved in such thinking really deserves nothing short of pity.

I've given you facts. You read them on the page and dismiss them for not aligning with the facts of your cult. Makes sense.

And yet you do. Curious.

I guess that's a fairly accurate picture: you do seem rather intoxicated on the crap that spewed forth from ol' good time Charlie.

I was just curious, because you've broached this subject before. Last time around you were quite successful at ignoring any contrary biblical evidence. I don't foresee the present discussion being any different, so I'm inclined to let you persist in your mistaken beliefs unmolested. However, it strikes me as odd that you purposefully return to this su ...[text shortened]... d to convince others to believe, that when we die we're really dead as door-nails?

Abraham must have had some kind of consciousness for him to see the arrival of Christ. Lets hear you do like Robbie and argue with Christ. Thats the surest road to damnation ... go ahead ... use your JW teaching to ridicule the words of Christ.
