As pointed out in Pedrito’s previous post (Post #19 on Page 2), whenever MoreCoffee plays the Jehovah’s Witnesses card, the Reader can be assured that MoreCoffee is attempting to defuse a situation that he deems a danger to the teachings...
Pedrito would like to make a suggestion to popsthebuilder.
Pedrito’s suggestion is that he think twice before he beats his well-intentioned head against the wall any more.
The majority of humans have a built-in herd instinct. Loyalty to the herd is near or at the top of their priority list...

From Lämmchen's Post #4 on Page 1:
Yet more scripture offered by Lämmchen in support of the notion that Jesus was 100% God when He walked the Earth.
never began to exist and never will cease to exist
John 1:1
Here we have a chance for the Reader to do some simple and fun...
In Post #17 on Page 2, MoreCoffee stated:
MoreCoffee is quite correct. Pedrito used the term incorrectly in Post #16 on Page 2 because he wasn’t aware of its proper implications.
Morecoffee correctly understood Pedrito’s intended meaning to be “invites” or “triggers” or “prompts” a question...
In Post #20 on Page 2, Lämmchen offered:
So, if Scripture is silent about something, it is not important. Therefore, if Scripture is silent about something, that something (anything) cannot be taken on as doctrine.
Also and especially, if Scripture clearly weighs in, in support of one...
The occasion of the woman caught in adultery (John 8:3-11) mentioned by tango in Post #3 on Page 1, has more to it than normally meets the eye (as it were). Not everyone understands its true significance.
John 8:3-5:
“3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery...
MoreCoffee in Post #22 on Page 3 offered a comparison of sorts between the terrorist component of the Muslim religion and "christian" movements like Jones town, Waco, The Lord's Resistance Army, and the KKK.
Pedrito questions the validity of that comparison.
The terrorist component of the...
Rens, Post #11 on Page 2:
That begs a very logical question.
If we are already seated in the heavenlies with Him, how come we go to the heavenlies to be with Him when we die?
If Rens is already seated in the heavenlies with Him now, Pedrito invites Rens to tell us what it is like there.
If...
This is so cool!
In Post #9 on Page 1, MoreCoffee originally stated:
In Post #13 on Page 2, Pedrito pointed out that God could only be the Father of Christ's body if Christ was "the Son of God" (as He is said to be in Holy Scripture), and not "God the Son" (a definition that came into being...
In Post #9 on Page 1, MoreCoffee stated:
Pedrito has to ask, does that even make sense?
“God is our Father because we are Christ's body”
“God is our Father” – most definitely – God is our Father – that is totally in line with Scripture.
But: “because we are Christ's body”? Doesn’t being...
In Post #22 on Page 3, MoreCoffee stated:
That actually goes without saying.
But who are the faithful? And faithful to what?
Are the faithful to be defined as the ones who believe what Paul believed about God and His Son Jesus? Or are they deemed to be people who believe something else...
psalms 91 in Post #11 on Page 2 asked:
To do the question proper justice would take more space than is available here. So what follows can be regarded as more of a summary.
==============================================================================================
In Genesis 15:1-21 we...
Previous posts from various people have triggered a number of questions. Just a few quotes from the many, follow. (Other thoughts and posters have been left out here to conserve space and thought focus.)

In Post #6 on Page 1 MoreCoffee presented a truly important consideration:
By so doing, he has opened the door for three pointed observations to be pulled out from under the carpet.

In Post #26 on Page 3, MoreCoffee stated:
When Jesus and the apostles referred to the Scripture(s), if they were not referring to something identifiable, were their references not in fact meaningless?
If that is really not the case, then what specific, authoritative set of writings were...
Not all the promises in the Bible are for the here and now.
Consider Revelation 21:1-4 (emphasis Pedrito’s):
“1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming...
In Post #19 0n Page 2, tango said:
Pedrito would like to point out that tango’s idea expressed as “evening and morning suggests that God brought order, then it degenerated into chaos and returned to order pretty much by itself” is a misapprehension of the situation.
What the text suggests is...
In Post #1, tango presented:
Pedrito replies, where does the Bible say that the sun wasn't created until day 4?
The first verse of Genesis tells us “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
(In Hebrew narrative, that form of statement can be either a blanket statement that is...
In Post #24 on Page 3, MoreCoffee stated:
Well, that simply begs the question: "What then were Jesus and the apostles referring to when they used the terms 'Scripture' and 'Scriptures'?"
They obviously had something definite in mind. Not something amorphous. Not when those writings were...
