With all due respect to the Almighty - is it possible that He has a condition that explains some of this? Bi-polar? Alzheimers? Schizo? Parkinsons? Gastrointestinal distresss?
I mean, if we were made in His image and humans get all those - why not Him? Just sayin'.
Here's what I want to know:
JWs claim that the tetragrammaton (YHWH) was removed 237 times from the original writings of the New Testament.
If the Bible is trustworthy, and God saw to it that the Bible came to us virtually unchanged after several thousand years of hand-copying, in many instances (esp. the New Testament) by non-professional scribes very prone to error, why couldn't he see to it that his name was preserved those 237 times?
If "the name" is that hugely important, wouldn't that be the one thing that he wouldn't let get corrupted out of the text?
Either the text is reliable, in which case the use of YHWH in the NT is totally unsupported (as zero Greek texts contain it), or the text is unreliable, in which case who cares what it says now - it must be different than what was originally written.
You can't have it both ways.
nice point sir82!
Gumby, the anointed must not have any special perception. They are giving "bad" spiritual food. Teaching the trinity, immortality of the soul and other pagan doctrines should disqualify them as imparters of fine spiritual food. The Anointed serve poison.
Sir,Obviously Jehovah God CANNOT see to it that his name is preserved. Ha!
It's the illustration of the 'dragnet' and the suitable vs. unsuitable fish. Don't you remember?
Jehovah let Christendom be the dragnet to bring in all kinds of fish through the centuries.
Then in the 'end times' God would use his Watchtower organization to sort through the fish and bring the suitable ones in to his organization. (1 Frederick 5:17-21)
And if you don't believe it, remember rule #1 - the WTS is always right.
Was my last comment SO AWESOME, that it is the last word and nobody can add anything?
Or have I managed to kill a thread? I have never killed one of MInimus' threads before (not that I was trying to).
Gopher....you damn thread killer!

But....but....but.....wasn't the light to get brighter and brighter? It appears it never went from bright to brighter.......only from bright to dim......then bright again. Hmmmmm
Funny how Jehovah who is letting all this time pass to prove Satan a liar would let Satan look victorious for many centuries, allow people to misled for centuries, then decide to let the truth be known through a group of Russellites who had a 100% failed prophecy record. Makes sense to me.
