Matthew ch 10

23 When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

and i always questioned the wt avoidance on this

matt 16 : 28 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”

john ch 21

22 Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.” 23 Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?”

see, its all finished.

One hope for ALL christians - interesting video on heavenly hope

by paradisebeauty in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4n7qe6fqac4.

a short video with proof from the bible that the ones going to "heaven" are not meant to stay there forever, but just to meet jesus there (at the rapture) and be with him forever, on earth, not in heaven!.

sowhatnow

my take on all that is this,

simply be good to everyone so when you die you'll then find out what happens.

what an interesting find for me

by sowhatnow in

im sure to use this the next time i accidentally get sucked into an argument with someone.

im not ever understanding the idea behind any christian religion picking and choosing what they want to believe and follow, then have the nerve to claim they are right, when clearly this is obviously done.

here is a site that shows not only how bloodthirsty and evil the god of the hebrew bible was, but how more ridiculous it is for jws to follow one twisted 'commandment' about eating blood, not only reading it wrong, but then not to do all the other commandments, willingly , do they think they are ancient israelites ?

Need to Vent: Well this weekend is a wash, 3 days of my life i will not get back and wife is slipping in to cult mode

by goingthruthemotions in

yep, the cult fest is upon us....3 days of my life i will not get back....ughhhhhhhh.

and my wife has been slipping in to cult mode the last 2 days.....you know the look.

almost like a glazed over look with a side of guilt and a side of narrow mindedness.

sowhatnow

my advice,

eat lots of prunes and coffee, develop diarrhea and stay home sick.

take a non jw bible to look up the scriptures and use a yellow highlighter to highlight all the words that are different in their bible.

have a tablet with the words, governing body, society, faithful slave, Armageddon , the end, wicked, Satan, apostate, warning , jehovah , and jesus, and keep score when each is said.

I bet Jesus looses.

also write down every negative word uttered.

by sowhatnow in

things religious organizations practice that are non biblical [ or what were told not to do] pray in public [jesus said go into your room and pray in secret.

jesus always went away to pray]build houses of worship store up treasures on earthjudge their fellow man and condemn their fellow man.

preach doctrines of menclaim to be gods special property and for some faiths, do not pray the prayer jesus said to pray.

Is it necessary to prepare for the Watchtower or book study?

by BashfulAshG in

all of my years in the truth, i never understood why we had to study before each meeting.

the contents are self-explanatory with the answers to the printed question within the first or the last sentence of the paragraph.

then, commenting never made sense, especially comments and experiences that don't answer the printed question.

sowhatnow

No. in fact no one need any other book that a bible if they wish to only to read about the history of the early days of Christianity.

here is why i think that.

I wondered where in the bible it is told to us that we need to read doctrine and 'study or even read ' the bible.

what i found is interesting to me because according to what i understand it is not a rule, or law, or requirement for salvation . [nor apparently is prayer any sort of command]

my bible gateway research is below. i looked up he word 'read' and at all times it is only referring to the law code [oddly in several scriptures this is called the book or law of moses as if God had nothing to do with it]

of which I thought was not applicable to people today if the y accept Christ as their savior.

the old 'read it in an undertone day and nigh' t,bla bla mentioned once only applying to the law. and the word study is spoken of rarely in scripture

here is all i found.

8:18
Day after day, from the first day to the last, Ezra read from the Book of the Law of God

[ Nehemiah’s Final Reforms ] On that day the Book of Moses was read aloud in the hearing of the people and there it was found written that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever be admitted into the assembly of God,

acts 13 7The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath.
acts 15 21
For the law of Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”

2 cor3 14 when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away.

2 Corinthians 3:15
Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts.[moses is read]

and the word 'study' again applying to the law of the lord.

Ezra 7:10
For Ezra had devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the Lord, and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel.

Ecclesiastes 1:13
I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under the heavens. What a heavy burden God has laid on mankind!
In Context | Full Chapter | Other Translations
Ecclesiastes 12:12
Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.

John 5:38-40New International Version (NIV)
38 nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent. 39 You study[a] the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, 40 yet you refuse to come to me to have life.

if you notice here in john, it is explained that thinking that study is going to save you for eternal life, isnt going to work..

comments?
