The big problem I had with the hospital "illustration" is that in the real JW conclusion of the matter, the doctor only claims to have a cure. He goes around the hospital selling a phoney placebo that cures nobody! He says it is the solution to their disease, but patients continue to die. Those that buy into his "cure" die just the same as all the others, yet they have wasted money and effort that could have been directed toward something real that might improve their condition. That's the way with the JW cure for sin. They claim to have the "cure", yet the District Crapventions are still chock full of sick and elderly. Dubs continue to die, even faster since they refuse some medical care that could help them. Do the sheeples still sin even after buying into the JW "cure"? You can bet your 3-man judicial committee they're still sinners!
The big problem I have with the "parallels", types, antitypes, prototypes, etc. between the ancient Mosaic Law sacrifices and Jesus sacrifice is the flawful overanalysis by WT. So, why would Jesus represent both the High Priest AND the sacrificial animal? It didn't work that way in Jerusalem. Did Jesus actually splatter blood on God in heaven? What did all the guts and dung from the sacrificial animals represent? If the value of the Mosaic sacrifices in Israel was applied immediately, why has mankind been suffering for thousands of years after Jesus presented the propitiatory sacrifice of his perfect life? Wasn't God pleased with that or is he really wanting more and more Christians to die sinfully? I'll stop there...
The big problem I have with the "cost to Jehovah" to send his 'beloved son to suffer and die' is that it is so horribly overstated in the context of this farticle. Earlier in the lesson, they stated that a thousand years to man is just one day to Jehovah. Do the math. If Jesus lived on earth, separated from his father, for 34 years, that's 3.4% of one thousand years. Now, 3.4% of a human 24 hour day is less than 50 minutes. So, what human father busts into tears when his kid takes an hour nap? Yes, Jesus suffered and died. That's like a few minutes that Jehovah could completely undo. Yeah, big "cost to Jehovah". It just sounds so terribly uncaring toward the suffering of the parents who've lost an infant in death, and really have something to lose, grieve, and mourn. Or in this example where Jehovah has put Abraham to an evil test to try his obedience. "Abraham, slaughter your son like a beast!" Abraham didn't have the power to resurrect and why would he expect Jehovah to resurrect the same person he ordered slaughtered? Sounds more like Jehovah loves seeing slaughter, regardless of whose children it is.
Thanks Blondie!
