Is it evidence for or against religions if they came from America?
For instance Mormonism and Jehovah's Witnesses. Are there more? Scientology. Any more?
I would argue it is evidence against the religion because America has quite literally nothing the to do with the Bible. What other evidence flows from a religion coming from America?
How many religions came from America?

Judas still does contradictory things with his money before dying in contradictory ways in that one, so the Holy Spirit didn't clear up everything. The Holy Spirit did add scare quotes to Samuel's name in 1 Samuel 28 to resolve the contradiction with "the dead know nothing," though.
The dead do know nothing. What did Judas do?

Post #55Jesus was Jewish, but then in Matthew 23 he told them off and told them they are cut off of being Gods chosen in verse 38, in verse 39 they can step back through the door God left open for them. They have refused for over 1950 years.
They saw the new religion begin-Acts 24:5---These serve the same God Israel served,s=The Abrahamic God= a single being God=YHWH(Jehovah) -- I know 100% i am in the religion that has Jesus leading it.

Post #56Yes? That's what the 33,000+ other Christian churches would point to, just like you did.kjw47 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 9:38 pm

How do you think that Jesus is leading your church but not theirs?
I happen to think that Jesus was a working Jew and pulling for working Jews, and we need to remember that the authors of Matthew, writing for the new religion, never actually heard a word that Jesus said.

There is no trinity God in existence=100% fact. Those are being mislead into breaking Gods #1 commandment daily.
Gods through holy spirit directed the words written. God heard every word because they originated with him first-John 5:30
