What is Communion ?

[Doug Brents]

I don't see letting a swear word come out keep one from inheriting Gods kingdom, etc= minor sins)-1Cor 6:9-11, Gal 5:19-21 both say--if one practices one of those sins will not inherit Gods kingdom.= Major sins. Paul used the word spiritism at Gal, the Greek word=Pharmacia, thus drug addiction is apart of that, so along with all the false god worship and those 2 lists= 99% on earth today are in danger of not inheriting Gods kingdom.

So it is what you see as a sin that determines if it is sin or not? Hmmm.
No, there are no major sins or minor sins. James 2:10 and the context around it tells us that if you keep the whole law, but stumble at even a single, tiny, insignificant point then you are guilty of breaking the whole law. He says that if you don't murder but you do commit adultery, then you are guilty of murder also, because breaking one law violates the whole law.

So that means that 100%, every single human that has ever lived (with the sole exception of Jesus Christ) has broken some part of the Law of God, and is therefore condemned before God. There is NO ONE who has not sinned.

Its very simple--Only the 144,000 will sit on thrones-The covenant the night of the Lords supper was only to those who will sit on thrones( Luke 22:29-30)-Referred to as the little flock( Luke 12:32)= not the great crowd of other sheep who are not of that fold( Rev 7:9, John 10:16) ---proof = No man can number the great crowd, the little flock are numbered.

Again repetitious.... unbelievable.

And a great revelation.... You are Mormon.

 

[MTMattie]

I am not apart of that. And that is symbolism, The Jewish religion is cut off( Matt 23:38)- spiritual Israel is what that represents just meaning-Gods chosen.

And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel. (Rev. 7:4)

Well, countering your own post again are you?

There was no one there that night that was not Jewish.... SO MAKE UP YOUR MIND.

And if you are not Mormon , you are or were taught by one who was.

That's the 12 Tribes of Israel x 12,000 people. Do the math. So tell me, which Tribe are you from?

Spiritual Israel not literal Israel, they are cut off-Matt 23:38-39--to this day have refused to do verse 39. Jesus started a new religion-they make up spiritual Israel.

My post is truth. No sin is good but all sin, the true followers do not practice these sins-1Cor 6:9-11, Gal 5:19-21 nor have any other god before their face. Yet the blind guides assure those that practice one of those sins-You are saved.

They left the Jewish religion--The Jewish religion is cut off Matt 23:38= your house abandoned to you. Jesus started a new religion= spiritual Israel. Made up of any ex Jewish follower and gentiles. Jesus told those Jewish religious leaders off at Matt 23. He said they closed the kingdom of God up to men= all listening to them. They can however do verse 39--they outright refuse to this day.

I am not part of the 144,000, i am part of the great crowd of other sheep who are not of that fold.

The JW flock that thinks that God is powerless to preserve his word and that slanders the Apostles because they produced a "corrupted" Bible. Got it.

Yet they still observed the Jewish feasts... as did Jesus with their Seder dinner that you call the last supper.. and He taught in temples all his ministry

All have indeed sinned, and the true followers of Christ do not practice any sin (it is not limited to just the sins listed in 1 Cor 6 and Gal 5, even not doing the good that we know to do is sin (James 4:17)). But we do have assurance in Christ that if we are united to Him through baptism and have confessed Him as our Lord and walk continually in His Light then He will exchange our sin for His righteousness and we will be accounted as not having sinned just as He did not. We cannot walk in sin (any sin) and still be saved (that is walking in darkness), but we can be counted as not having sinned if we are in Christ.

But he still started a new religion. He spoke to 7 churches in Revelation( 1 religion) not to synagogues.

Since God can preserve his word then it's a lie that anyone corrupted his word. JWs are the ones who fathered that lie, just like Satan does.

You will find out the opposite, you best relook while there is time.

JWs believe that God is so weak that he cannot preserve his word. Actually, God has preserved his word with the Greek Text. JWs spread falsehoods and fear so that they can collect followers. That is the markings of a Cult.

What Greek text is that?

These are the Greek New Testament manuscripts, categorized based on their material, script, and purpose. Here are the primary categories:

1. Papyri

Description: Manuscripts written on papyrus, an early paper-like material made from plant reeds.

Characteristics:

Oldest surviving manuscripts, dating from the 2nd to the 8th centuries CE.

Often fragmentary due to the fragility of papyrus.

Notable Examples:

P52 (John Rylands Fragment, ca. 125 CE) – the earliest known New Testament manuscript.

P66 (nearly complete Gospel of John, ca. 200 CE).

Number of Manuscripts: Approximately 140.

2. Uncials

Description: Manuscripts written in all capital Greek letters (majuscule script) on vellum or parchment.

Characteristics:

Formal and easy to read.

Dates from the 4th to the 10th centuries CE.

Notable Examples:

Codex Sinaiticus (4th century): Contains the entire New Testament.

Codex Vaticanus (4th century): Almost the entire New Testament.

Number of Manuscripts: Around 320.

3. Minuscules

Description: Manuscripts written in a cursive, lowercase Greek script.

Characteristics:

Smaller, faster to write, and more compact than uncials.

Most date from the 9th to the 16th centuries CE.

Notable Examples:

Minuscule 33 (often called the "Queen of the Cursives"): A significant textual witness.

Number of Manuscripts: Approximately 2,900.

4. Lectionaries

Description: Manuscripts containing selected scripture readings for public worship.

Characteristics:

Arranged according to the liturgical calendar.

Include portions of the Gospels, Epistles, and Acts.

Written in both uncial and minuscule scripts.

Number of Manuscripts: Over 2,400.

5. Ostraca and Other Texts (Supplemental)

Description:

Texts of New Testament passages written on pottery shards (ostraca), amulets, or other non-standard materials.

Often used for teaching, practice, or personal devotion.

Characteristics: Typically small and fragmentary, they serve as additional witnesses to the text.

Summary of Manuscripts by Category

1. Papyri: ~140
2. Uncials: ~320
3. Minuscules: ~2,900
4. Lectionaries: ~2,400
5. Other Texts: Fewer in number, supplemental.

These categories collectively represent the over 5,800 surviving Greek New Testament manuscripts, making them the most well-documented corpus of ancient literature.

Very little bit of fragments for NT are there. Catholicism translating remained when the protestants translated the NT. It has been proven 100% Catholicism corrupted some of the NT and OT.
