Serious problems with Gospel of John, and his Revelation

by Pinku in

1) john presents a jesus who is totally different from other gospels.

2) johns claim of jesus being partial to him undermines jesuss own teaching (mathew 5:44-48).

3) johns claim of first miracle (changing the water into wine) and the last (or most spectacular) miracle of resurrecting lazarus are not known to earlier gospel writers---something impossible for them to miss!.

I think Revelation is the first book of the NT written but not that last half. Only 6-11. It deals with events in the 59-73CE time of Jerusalem's destruction. Note Jesus is hardly mentioned in those chapters..

Later in the 90s it might have had the beginning added and 12-16 added. The writer John of Patmos for all we know could have been the rebelious Jewish leader John in the Jewish war but this can't be concluded for sure. Whoever it was it was horrble greek. 17-22 are almost in the late second century from the kings list.

The Gospel of John is dependant on the Gospel of Pontius Pilate and the Gospel of Nicodemus which places John in the 100-120CE area. The other gospels came after the first being the pre-Lukan version by Marcion in 140

by venting in

The Watchtower and its absurd accusations against the Church Fathers

by opusdei1972 in

i love to read the watchtower's article "the church fathersadvocates of bible truth?

" (w01 4/15 pp.

there we may read the most contadictory statements of the watchtower society, which shows how deceptive and ignorant is the jehovah's witnesses religion.. .

HowTheBibleWasCreated

Most of these church father's writing themselves were likely forgeries... As for John writing John this is problamic in many ways. Ireanuis writing are admitably forgeries of the late second and early third centuries and even if a guy did pen John named John what portion did he pen?

1. The seven signs from John 1-15?

2. The Prayer in 16-18 (An addition)

3. The passion in 19,20 (based on the gospel of Pontius Pilate so early second century)

4. The last chapter likely very late in early third century

5. Lastly the 7:53-8:11 narritive... added after the Vulgate 400+CE

THE TRUTH is an estimate

as i was growing up in a household with my grandparents, i heard a certain phrase hundreds of times, "well, you know what they say .

and i wondered: "who are "they"?.

it was my first encounter with shapeless, formless, invisible, abstract, non-descript, and anonymous authority.. the premise seemed to say:.

Now that we know Quantum Mechanics and know the impossible can happen.... why in the 21st century do people use the expression 'The Truth'?

It's All About Tablets

by metatron in

jw
friends

well, that seems to be the latest hot thing amoung witnesses.

everybody buys a tablet.

even the poor families that eat carb heavy meals are gettin' em.. maybe they can't afford the latest apple product like the maxi/mini pad or whatever they're calling it these days so a trip to ebay or overstock.com fills the bill.. use it instead of a songbook.

HowTheBibleWasCreated

Some of the older ones were complaining about all the tablets here and the brothers using them on stage. After the demo in the KM last week though the elder giving the part said firmly:

"THIS IS THE WAY THE FAITHFUL SLAVE IS GUIDING US AND IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KEEP UP WITH THEM.... THERE IS THE DOOR."
