    in Romans 6:7 I think the Greek word translates as justified or similar.

    in receiving the payment of death isn't this just from Gods view especially as Witnesses do not believe in hell?

    @ prologos - Lovely point = "why are we affected by his now non-existing, wiped-out sin?"

    That highlights the bottom line of the Org's false interpretation of Romans 6:7, that sins count for absolutely nothing and require no Messianic redemption, ("see the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world") because Adamic death takes care of the situation!

    From a Christian and scriptural viewpoint, such a doctrine is perverse and blasphemes every aspect about Christ's life & death!

    The org. also teaches that it depends on what sort of sin is being committed. 6 months ago there was a demonstration presented on the monthly JW broadcast and they classified sin into three groups, using bread loaves to demonstrate it

    All loaves were slightly smeared with garlic powder, indicating that everyone was imperfect.

    The first loaf was spoiled with a toxic dye and represented someone committing the unforgivable sin. This could not be removed and the loaf was useless and put in the rubbish bin

    The second loaf was muddied which represented an individual committing a gross sin. The muddied part could be cut off and the rest of the loaf was acceptable.

    The third loaf was doused with an extra dose of garlic powder, this represented 'grieving the holy spirit' and was fixed by dusting the additional garlic powder off and it was then good to go.

    The unforgivable sin cannot be forgiven but the org. have given up on giving examples of what would qualify as an unforgivable sin.

    FANTASTIC thread! Excellent reasoning!

    Thanks for sharing.

    And the society has the gall to say that others take scriptures out of context! Ha! Why don't they read and apply the context?!

    Borean Pickets had an interesting article on the subject of whether or not Adam was created perfect or sinless:

    Even the WT get's writer's cramp, eventually. :smirk:
