Let’s explore in depth one of the many reasons, namely contradictions and inconsistencies.<br /><br />Judaism believes that the Jewish Scriptures, often referred to as the Old Testament,[1] are the inspired word of God. If passages appear to contradict one another, it is our responsibility to delve deeply and uncover a correct understanding.<br /><br />Unfortunately, some Christians believe that the end justifies the means and often use the following New Testament passage to justify their approach. “Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed…” [Philippians 1:18]"<br /><br /><br />http://www.jewsforjudaism.org/isaiah53/why-jews-cannot-accept-the-new-testament/<br /><br />Gamaliel has returned. You won't be happy with the results and won't find me much good in shoring up your New Testament Tales taken from our Old Testament TalesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-74946587572350358822013-04-29T08:28:50.781-07:002013-04-29T08:28:50.781-07:00BB said:

That doesn't mean it's not possible. I just have no evidence of it. When my little Kitty Cat died, I wanted her to return to life. but did she? Noooo. Patsy Ramsey, a semi-devout Christian, prayed that Jesus or God or someone bring little JonBenet' back to life after she was found in the basement bludgeoned by an "intruder." Did JonBenet' live again. Nooo, I don't think so. At least Buddha stated explicitly that he was only a human, not a god which I do respect more. I realize that some Budhist sects have tried to turn him into something supernatural but, from wheat i've read, that was not his belief.

All of them understand that there was a New Covenant and an Old Covenant, but none of them can see the other dispensations, as they believe (contrary to the writings of Paul) that the so-called law of Moses was given to Adam and Eve from the beginning, in the Bible.<br /><br />How can you base a Christian religious movement on such lack of understanding (aided by unprovable pet conspiracy theories) and extrapolate it into two supposed church eras? You really can't. It's ludicrous, but "they" use every buzzword and psychological manipulative tactic known to man, and a small percentage of the population somehow buys into it all. They even use that, couple it with one of their cliches about many being called but few chosen, and succumb to a loveless kind of elitism that does nothing to further the real work of Jesus Christ.<br /><br />Calling Gamaliel, come in please!<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-22576108620474469852013-04-28T11:10:49.904-07:002013-04-28T11:10:49.904-07:00I meant "Ahaz", sorry 'bout that.I meant "Ahaz", sorry 'bout that.Corkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15894537940881776504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-84430877613528907302013-04-28T11:05:02.367-07:002013-04-28T11:05:02.367-07:00Anonymous said...

Anonymous said...<br /><i>All of these HWA legacy groups are in for a shock when Christ comes; despite their claim to the name, they are nothing more than impostors and too far away from truth even to be recognized as being almost there.</i><br /><br />Yes, they'll be in for a shock...assuming Jesus does return. I don't see any reason to assume that. Jesus' return was imminent in the lifetime of the first Xians and it didn't happen. They even thought that "the end of all things is at hand" in their day - didn't happen. <br /><br />Besides, you would have to know the truth before you can say that the imposters are "too far away from truth". What you are really saying is they are too far away from what you believe is the truth.<br /><br />If there is any truth in it at all, which I doubt, nobody knows what it is or else there wouldn't be 40,000 different denominations, sects and cults of Xianity. They're all 'rule-makers' instead of 'rule-followers'. It's just that some are worse than others.<br /><br />The CoGs are some of the worse but not the worst that you can encounter. Even the JWs are worse than the ACoGs. Now THERE is a mind control cult if ever there was one. Going on down the scale, there's the Mormon cult and the Scientologists. <br /><br />Truth, truth, who's got the truth? It's an elusive thing, is what it is. Once it was truth that "the oceans cannot be crossed" but that didn't remain the truth forever. What we think is true today may not be tomorrow.<br /><br />Isaiah's prediction in Isa. 7 turned out to be wrong - Ahab's alliance failed and they lost the war, big time, in spite of Yahweh's promise to the contrary.

Nothing...."<i>What's in a name anyway</i>?"<br /><br />Nothing. This is just an HWA claim being rehashed as though just because HWA said it made it special to true. Just another HWA follower and HWA worshiper. These guys think that just because somebody says a thing as though "with authority" that people will believe them for no other reason. Unfortunately, a few gullible people will, but that doesn't change the fact that deep down they know they're bullshitting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-62351184910181210562013-04-27T20:41:11.297-07:002013-04-27T20:41:11.297-07:00Well, look upon his beautiful feet!Well, look upon his beautiful feet!RSKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-53234202289042858692013-04-27T19:21:57.826-07:002013-04-27T19:21:57.826-07:00All of these HWA legacy groups are in for a shock ...All of these HWA legacy groups are in for a shock when Christ comes; despite their claim to the name, they are nothing more than impostors and too far away from truth even to be recognized as being almost there.
