Why, why and why

spiritboi

Wonder if I am the youngest around (20)....sorry, young people have many why's... 1) Humans die because of Adam's sin.Why animals die? Were they already dying before Adam sin? If so, Adam would be very sad when his beloved pet dies. Why Jah allow adam to be sad? 2) Many spirit creatures rebel against Jehovah and became demons. If Jehovah is a God of love and have taken good care of them, why they rebel? They should know that he is very powerful and they have no chance of winning. 3) Many of us here are honestly seeking the truth. Why did the big J allow us to be fooled by the WT? 4) When the plane crashed into the WTC, so many died. What is J doing then? Why he didn't stop it? 5) Spirit creatures not from God must be evil. Is this the Bible's teaching or WT's? Why must it be so? Can't there be spirits who are good in nature but refusing to obey J over a certain rule or regulation? 6) Prophecy that came true must be from God? Why he chose a spirit medium to deliver a message to King Saul? (1 Sam 28) 7) "false prophets (like the JWs) will arise and misled many"...Why he allow that? Many who were misled are good people like you and me... 8) "Broad is the road leading to destruction. Narrow is the road leading to everlasting life." Why must the road that leads to everlasting life be narrow? 9) Why are there so many interpretations of the Bible? Why don't he make known the correct one to us? 10)Jehovah wanted people to worship him. Why must he make people who worship him suffer just like Job? Don't he know that this will cause people to give up worshipping him? Ten why's at this moment. 6)

Instructors have to test their students to accuratly guage their progress and skill level.

You can also find out how courageous they are too.

Have you ever seen a teacher or instructor who never tested his students?

I hope this helps.

It is not the first time Jehovah tested his creatures. He tested the invisible forces. Many angels failed the test. He tested it with two perfect humans. They failed! He should have taken a step back and examine why so many fail. But he tested and is still testing with imperfect humans. If you were an instructor and there was such a high failure rate among your students (100% for perfect humans), what will you do? Do as Jehovah did? Get more students and test these new students until you get your desired number of students who pass? Or will you sit back, examine your training methods for any flaws or maybe even reconsider the criteria of the test and see if you have set it too high? We don't know how he tested the angels. But we have an account of how he tested the perfect humans. Humans ain't dummies. We are created to be inquisitive. We want to find out the how, why and what. Adam and Eve may have stop at that tree of knowledge of Good and bad everytime they passes that tree. Wondering how the fruits taste? why they cannot eat it? God told them they will die if they eat it. What is death? To satisfy their hunger 4 knowledge, they ate it and billions and billions of people have to die... Jehovah certainly do not understand his creation well. If he created humans thru Jesus, then he did not bother to consult Jesus manual on "How to made man obey you" and just set a test on them with devastating effects!!!!

The only excuse for this god and his acts it's his own inexistence.

You're asking all these questions with the basic underlying assumption that the Bible is true and inspired.

What if it isn't?

Take the very simple and easily researched subject of how old the human species is. Even if you don't want to believe in evolution (for the moment), can you prove that Bible Adam and Bible Eve were really the first humans on earth just over 6,000 years ago?

I will venture that you cannot. Why? There is ample evidence of modern human occupation and activity on earth going back tens of thousands of years. In North America alone there are fossil mammoth, ice-age bison and camel skeletons with embedded spear points or evidence of butchering marks that date to over 12,000 years ago.

Where does that leave the Bible? If you want to then say that Genesis was just an allegory, you have to throw out the entire concept of original sin and the promise of salvation.

It then becomes nothing more than a very successful collection of human writings that greatly influenced modern western culture.

These are some conclusions I've reached. I'd be happy to discuss them.

1) Humans die because of Adam's sin.Why animals die? Were they already dying before Adam sin? If so, Adam would be very sad when his beloved pet dies. Why Jah allow adam to be sad?

Death is a natural part of life on the earth. The Bible is one of many books where men try to explain the unexplainable. The story of Adam is likely just a fable.

2) Many spirit creatures rebel against Jehovah and became demons. If Jehovah is a God of love and have taken good care of them, why they rebel? They should know that he is very powerful and they have no chance of winning.

This is part of why the Bible could be viewed as mythology. Wars and conflicts between gods and spirits are a major theme of ancient mythology.

3) Many of us here are honestly seeking the truth. Why did the big J allow us to be fooled by the WT?

The Watchtower is an organization of men. They use promises and threats to influence people. Some people like to be told what to do, and the WTS is more than happy to tell them how to live life and serve men.

4) When the plane crashed into the WTC, so many died. What is J doing then? Why he didn't stop it?

If there is a God, he is far away -- maybe on some other project in the universe.

5) Spirit creatures not from God must be evil. Is this the Bible's teaching or WT's? Why must it be so? Can't there be spirits who are good in nature but refusing to obey J over a certain rule or regulation?

The WTS teaches that all spirits were created by God (or his son Jesus). Also see my answer to #2 above.

6) Prophecy that came true must be from God? Why he chose a spirit medium to deliver a message to King Saul? (1 Sam 28)

The Bible says Saul sought out a spirit medium, in opposition to the Hebrew God named Yahweh or Jehovah. So Saul is shown here being a faithless apostate (according to the Bible).

7) "false prophets (like the JWs) will arise and misled many"...Why he allow that? Many who were misled are good people like you and me...

That quote from Paul was written in a time of turmoil, when many different ideas were going around the Christian community. He wanted to stem the dissension, so Paul said that. He called people who didn't follow his idea "false prophets". Like the JWs, he wanted to snuff out any dissenting ideas.

8) "Broad is the road leading to destruction. Narrow is the road leading to everlasting life." Why must the road that leads to everlasting life be narrow?

Because the God in the Bible is a jealous, angry God who is demanding and turns violently against entire nations. You quoted words attributed to Jesus, and again he wanted people to join his "kingdom". He knew the majority of mankind wouldn't go for it.

9) Why are there so many interpretations of the Bible? Why don't he make known the correct one to us?

The Bible, like other religious books, was written by imperfect men and can be interpreted to say anything. As I stated before, I believe that God is far away from mankind and doesn't really care about this project called "earth" (if he exists at all or is an actual person).

10) Jehovah wanted people to worship him. Why must he make people 0ho worship him suffer just like Job? Don't he know that this will cause people to give up worshipping him?

God is far away from mankind. If he was a real person who cared, he would have put an end to the suffering very long ago.

1) The animals did die before Adam sinned. Adam saw this .. thus understood when he was told that if he ate that certain fruit .. he would die. Understanding what death was ... he was well aware of the results of his decision. The animals were not pets.

Adam and Eve were perfect creatures. They spoke with God.

Being imperfect today ... and obeying Jehovah must really make his heart glad.

To imply that Jehovah is doing something wrong is very dangerous. He who created ALL things should be relied on to see his work finished in proper order.

It is normal to question why man is allowed to suffer. Habakuk did also. Many in the Bible did. We must all rely on Jehovah fulfilling prophecy at the proper time. He will not be late and he will not be early.

Finally-Free

After thousands of years of recorded human history, there is still dispute about who God is, what he wants, or if he even exists.

If he's serious about wanting our worship he's going to have to improve his communication skills.

Adam and Eve were perfect creatures.

What is the scriptural support of this statement?
