    He will forgive anything even the sins against himself, as long as there is repentence.

    LT, the only problem I see is that by using biblegateway for your quotations, you can see they incorrectly place the comma in the wrong place for Luke 23 ! Just ask Mr Franz.

    Scully, Jesus may forgive. I suppose that's what 'crime of passion' is all about.

    Is that the thrust of John 8?

    Steven:
    Today, tomorrow, whenever - it still suggests that Jesus was telling the thief that he would be in paradise with Jesus!

    Another typical case of the WTS putting emphasis on one part of a verse to distract from another..

    LT, I guess its because Jesus is irrelevant ! Unless your Mr Franz, and his bunch of 143 999 others.

    Back to the thread: Do you think there is a possibility that Jesus knew he was paying for his sins by his imminent death?

    Steve:
    You're right - he's irrelevant to most JWs.

    In answer to your question (oh, gawd, this is turning into a serious thread ), theologically I would say "yes".

    Experientially: to thine own self be true...

    Luke was cross ref'd with 2 Corinthians 12:

    Do you think he was drunk or something? (some emphesis added):

    1 Boasting is necessary, though it is not profitable; but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.
    2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago
    --whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, "God knows!?!?"--
    such a man was caught up to the third heaven.
    3 And I know how such a man--
    whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, "God knows!?!?"--
    4 was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak.

    Steven:No. I've had such experiences myself, and no drink or drugs were involved. I don't talk about them around here though, nor on third-hand media (electronic, paper, or otherwise) generally. It doesn't communicate well.

    Just for you I've added hyperlinks to the bible verses

    LOL...

    Naw, yer not gonna get away with it that easy, ya smoothie, ya!

    First things first, prove that there's a god...

    Prove the bible is his work...

    Prove jesus walked the earth as part of that 'work'...

    Then I'll acknowledge 'his' authority to do anything other than pay taxes and die like the rest of us mortal slobs.

    Jesus even asked forgiveness for people who don't know what they are doing. Hell, that's a relief to me!!!
