Not really. Those kinds get all upset and almost start calling you names if you so much as imply that good works can get you into heaven, no matter how close to being a saint you are. FAITH FAITH FAITH FAITH FAITH! is their motto.

Well, since sacrfices can only be done in the temple, and the vast majority of the 613 laws are about temple behavior, obviously not. Anybody who actually knew the bible would know that.

Hey, it's not my fault you are scripturally illiterate.

Good analysis, Rumpel. And I certainly understand what you mean by the Bible Christians, namely fundamentalist who believe literally in the Bible.
I have long said that I would consider becoming a Christian once again as soon as they can agree among themselves regarding doctrine and belief. In other words, it won’t happen in this lifetime.

That's pretty easy to handle. Just become Catholic. There is but ONE RCC doctrine.

You do realize there was no such thing as a temple until the 4th year of King Solomon's reign in 1034 BCE, right?

Yes. Do you have a point. You do realize the scriptures were not put down until the 6th century, don't you?

My point is, your temple excuse does not hold water...if you believe the 1st 24 books to be true, you should at least follow them or shut up...

Sure it does. Your characterization and claims about the Jewish scriptures are null and void.

I think it's the other way around...yours are null and void...

There is no evidence that what I believe is false. On the other hand, well, the Jehovah Witness cult got the end of the world wrong SO many times.

And, their child abuse scandals are pretty bad.

Sure there is...plenty of evidence which I've already given...

There seems to be a misunderstanding what is a claim, and what is evidence. You have given claims. Claims are not evidence.

People must be either very simple-minded or very fanatical to believe in "Jehovah's Witnesses".

If whether what you believe is false or not is decided based on the consequences, how do you explain poverty, hunger and war in one part of the world and extravagance, capitalism, obesity, alcoholism and fueling the aforementioned war in another part of the world? Does that look like success to you? Are starving children your idea of success for you?
