this weeks bible highlights: Jehovah slaughters his own people to teach David a lesson

by nowwhat? in

from 2 samuel 24. i am so mad at myself for not making a comment how could anyone explain this away?

then after he slaughters 70,000 he then feels regret?

Ho.ly. Shit!!!!!

maybe this deserves its own thread but its dorectly related to the discussion at hand. The revised new world translation makes a HUGE twist to obsecure what happened!!!! Notice the following renderings of 2 sam 24:1:

Byington:

And Jehovah was again angry with Israel, and instigated David against them, prompting him to go and count Israel and Judah. 2

American standard

And again the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them, saying, Go, number Israel and Judah

King james

And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.

Niv

24 Again the anger of the Lord burned against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, “Go and take a census ofIsrael and Judah.”

The message bible

24 1-2 Once again God’s anger blazed out against Israel. He tested David by telling him, “Go and take a census of Israel and Judah.” So David gave orders to Joab and the army officers under him, “Canvass all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, and get a count of the population. I want to know the number.”

Contemporary english version

24 The Lord was angry at Israel again, and he made David think it would be a good idea to count the people in Israel and Judah.

And on and on it goes! Now notice the revised new world version of that verse:

24 The anger of Jehovah again blazed against Israel when one incited David against them, saying: “Go, take a count of Israel and Judah.”

They completely obscured what happened by changing the verse!!!! Its crazy!!!!! And the reason i was going to quote it to begin with is because at 1 chronicles 21:1 satan is blamed!! But no more in dubbie land. Now it was just satan!!!!! This is bullshit! Im writing a letter of complaint!

Richard Dawkins talking about a Creator

by FusionTheism in

richard dawkins admitted that information inside of dna, and the origin of life on earth, might point to intelligent designers, perhaps extraterrestrials.

(see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boncjbrrdq8 )richard dawkins further admitted, in a debate with francis collins for time magazine, that science might point to a creator existing, but that this creator might not be anything like yahweh:.

time: "could the answer be god?

Imstead of wasting time (thats a pun in this case) trying to take dawkins words to mean what you want instead of what he actually meant, hows about you explain why it was ok for god to kill 70,000 of his own people over davids "sin" of taking a cenus.

Maybe you could tittle that thread "why its ok for christains to serve a god who kills his own people over someone elses mistake"

Nowhat, i had the same though. David cowardly asks for god to kill his own people (by default of not chosimg other punishments), god actually does it(!) killing innocent people guilty of nothing more than being alivie and being an isrealite, but its merciful? Oh yes the bible says that with god there is no injustice. My ass.

Christians not knowing the Bible

by Viviane in

last night a young man in a bar struck up a conversation with me.

our town is having our pride parade soon and he brought it up, the bible and how it's against the bible.

me being me, i said that i couldn't care less that it was against the bible and that it was a horrible guide for morality anyway.

Problems with Common Atheist Arguments

by FusionTheism in

the reason i entitled this "problems with common atheist arguments" instead of "the case against atheism" is that many atheists claim that atheism is not a belief system, makes no claims, and has no requirements to follow, so there's no way to argue against atheism itself.

i will go along with this idea, and argue against the most frequently used arguments of atheists instead of atheism itself.disclaimer # 1: this is not an argument against atheism or all atheists.

no, rather this is an argument against the most frequently used claims and arguments made by the atheists i speak to on twitter.

Has appointment of MS and Elder been changed?

by Simon Templar in

are there any changes to the new procedure?

it seems to me that the co doesn't ask the candidate questions any longer.

they just decide who they will appoint and announce it at the next weekly meeting.

_Morpheus

The questions about child abuse are only asked when its a person being apointed as an MS or reapointed as an elder after some time has passed. Everything sir82said is 100% correct as far the US branch is concered. If you download the new flock book its all in there
