120 Ways to Celebrate Christmas!

Are you JW?

I read the Bible and follow what's in it...

I've stated above in this post quite a few times what I believe in. But here it is again...

I believe in the Bible, the WHOLE Bible. I don't believe any of the Commandments have been done away with. I don't believe the "Old Testament" was done away with.

I believe Yeshua is the only begotten Son of a human Mother and the ONLY ONE and TRUE God YeHoVah (not Jehovah, that should tell you something).

I believe Yeshua died on the cross, being accused by Pharasees and Saducees and killed by Romans. Yeshua fulfilled 547 "Old Testament" prophecies that point or describe the Messiah.

I believe by His death on the cross, He fulfilled the Levitical Priesthood blood sacrifice for all who have sinned.

I believe He died, was placed in a tomb. He then and rose from the tomb 3 days and 3 nights later. Therefore, I too may be raised from the dead.

Only through Yeshua, do we have "the righteousness" to enter into the kingdom.

I do not believe in salvation by works. The Blood of Yeshua is the only thing that saves us. However, I believe as the Word states, "Faith without Works is Dead".

I do not give any credence to vain pagan based traditions such as Christ-Mass, Easter or Halloween. I have stated numerous reasons in the first several posts. Over 120 witnesses (another name for scriptures).

And yet...

Matthew 15:3 through 6 - And He answered and said to them, “Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?

Mark 7:9 through 13 - He was also saying to them, “You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition.

Colossians 2:8 - See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.

Colossians 2:20 through 22 - If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as, “Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!” (which all refer to things destined to perish with use)—in accordance with the commandments and teachings of men?

Titus 1:13 through 14 - This testimony is true. For this reason reprove them severely so that they may be sound in the faith, not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

Galatians 4:9 through 11 - But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again? You observe days and months and seasons and years. I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over you in vain.

All Scriptures in context speaking about vain traditions, all the while foregoing Commandments of God...

But you really didn't answer my question. Are you JW? yes or no.

Were my stated beliefs compatible with what is stated here?

If you open the link it actually answers the question. Your method of debate is flawed, in that your trying to discredit the other person based upon their denomination, and not actual evidence and facts.

Its flawed because even if she was, it doesnt prove or disprove her argument as there are some things jws do get right. 

You are attempting to debate the person and not the subject. That never gets anyone anywhere. Its always best to stick to actual facts and evidence. Theres plenty to choose from including many gaping holes in her arguments if one were to take the time to read them all, which i have.

If one cannot seperate the person from the argument then maybe its time to walk away from it, or at least re-evaluate ones approach. Just my .02 cents.

A simple question requires a simple answer.

JW? or any other denomination? No, I am not... I have no denomination. I trust no man/woman. Only the Word.

Yeshua did not say go out and "make churches", He said to Go out and make Disciples.

Yeshua did not say to "follow men", He said, "Follow Me"...

I will Follow Him. I will obey His Commandments.

I reject the ways of this world. I will stay firm in my Faith as a believer worshiping the Father in Spirit and in Truth in a world that wants to try to serve him in lies and rebellion...

Thank you for your honest answer.
