UNSTOPABLE: 144001, seems you have to rationalize that its mans word not gods, and thats the foundation where same sex is okay. if god is the creator than he has the right to make the standards.
If he is, he does, but it is a matter of opinion that a) God is the creator b) What is written in the bible is from him and c) Your interpretation of it is the only correct one.
it is also a matter of opinion or who you will trust (faith ) or who is the accepted final authority
Unstopable mentioned earlier...
A)to a jw its the wt as directed by God
B)to others its there own view or morals, personal experience
C) the Bible as accepted word of God
D) persons such as scientists (added point )
God either lied about His words or He didn't. God either did what He said or didn't or does not exist . You either have a plain, pure, inspired, preserved copy of scripture or you are a free agent, without FINAL AUTHORITY
Final Authority is a heart thing
well put!
caliber, I think you have hit on an important point. Is the quality of the information as important as who conveys it? I mean, if a scientist develops a method, say, of finding gold or diamonds based on what they have learned about geology, is that as trustworthy as locating the ancient city of Ophir? Can results alter your opinion, say, if the scientist finds more gold than the bible scholar?
did you just add that last part? or am i really tired? lol
