do i have to believe in jesus to be saved?.

i was raised as a jehovah's witness.

i was born in.

Unsure - Has it ever occurred to you that if the Jesus story is true then Jesus already died for you, me and everyone, the "price" has been paid, you don't need to be saved you already are and always have been. Religion sells conditional "salvation" because they want to keep you donating money and being enslaved to them.

Russell's Pyramidology Originated In Edinburgh Scotland

by cofty in

the edinburgh city observatory sits atop calton hill at the east end of the city centre adjacent to burn's monument, scotland's national monument modelled on the parthenon, and nelson's monument with the time ball that falls at 1pm every day except sundays.. .

the second astronomer royal of edinburgh was charles piazzi smyth (jan. 1819 - feb. 1900).

smyth was a man of many and varied interests including meteorology, producing weather observations that still form an important part of uk climate records to this day.. building on the work of james taylor, smyth became fascinated by the great pyramid of egypt at giza.

Very glad for this op as I 'm so sick of people who insist on perpetuating the idea that the pyamid monument near Russell's gravestone has nothing to do with WT or Russell - ha piffell!

The pyramid monument near Russells tombstone coincidently has watchtower bible and tract society on it? Russell believed and taught the same pyramid calculation theory but the pyramid has nothing to do with Russell?

I'm so confused 😮.

If you are looking for absolute verifiable facts about Jesus and so called "salvation" you won't find them - anywhere.

That means everything on this subject is opinion. So what's your opinion, unsure, what are the other ways that one can be "saved"? Also define "saved" if you don't mind, as it means different things to different people.

Ok, let me ask another way do you want others to tell you what to believe about Jesus?

I have asked if you want your answer to be fact or opinion?

I'll ask again do what do you want facts or personal opinion?

How can I answer your question if I don't know what kind of answer you are looking for?

Wow great find!

I always felt Russell cobbled together some kind of Franken-religion.

Why would ex-jws know more about Jesus than anyone else like say bible scholars or theologians? Are you wanting the absolute provable facts about the bible character of Jesus (good luck with that) or are you just wanting opinions as to what feels good for each individual?

Oct 2017 W/T on love.

by WHATSGOINGON in

the october 2017 wt study article (simplified).

let us consider some examples of fake love.

when satan talked to eve in the garden of eden, what he said made it seem that he wanted the best for her.

It must be all that hidden sin that has caused the "truth" in western countries to "accelerate" backwards.

I'm not sure why you are asking this Jesus question, do you think any of us here are qualified to give you the correct answer?
