The article focused on a belief that most of us now believe to be a false hope, ie that we will live forever on Earth...They fudged over their own past to give an impression that they have consistently taught the same message, when they have not done so..
Not necessarily. According to Aubrey de Grey the first thousand year old human has probably already been born. And if scientists and doctors can keep people alive for 1000 years, then who knows after that, maybe thousands more. So something approaching everlasting life may be within the grasp of this generation after all. What we do with that time and how we treat each other - and the earth - if we accomplish that feat is another matter of course. But maybe this is "Jehovah" telling us something: that we humans can manage to reach our goal of living forever on paradise earth if only we apply ourselves.
