  God said be fruitful and multiply,fill the earth and govern it.

  l have a problem with this.lf adam and eve didnt sin the earth would eventually have been full to the brim with perfect human beings.then what every man gets the chop or no more sex?then on the other hand we have the jw's sayingresurrected ones will not be allowed to marry in the earthly new system.. married survivors of armageddon will remain married.

  single survivors of armageddon may or may not be allowed to marry.so it seems that people reborn into new system wont be able to procreate.

  and married survivors will stay married so l assume that means they can still hanky panky and have babys thats a bit unfair..the earth can only accommodate a maximum number of humans then what for the married couples.

  .... yes l have researched the evolution theory

  Referring to evolution as a theory is a very broad statement but if you mean that humans did not evolve from non-humans that seems to be what the Bible is saying when it says that: male and female He created them forming them from clay and Adam's rib (whatever that means.) - and also when it says referring to animals "according to its kind" I have concluded with certainty that Jehovah is the creator but it is very difficult to know with certainty what the Bible means sometimes, for example, the Bible states that God created the heavens and the earth in 7 days (whatever that means.) How long is a day? Science appears to have invalidated old beliefs that the earth is only thousands of years old and that God created the universe in 7 x 7000 years( including his rest) Science has not invalidated the Bible, however.

  If it can be shown that humans existed 20,000 years ago for example, it would challenge the validity of the belief that Adam was created about 4026 years ago.

  What trumps everything is God's Holy Spirit which is solid proof of God's existence, a Creator; hence everything else that seems to contradict what the Bible says about creation is moot.

  "Straw man", right it is what you like, playing games of logic and people that are responsible for protecting children hand them over to the wolf and then kill the wolf and call those who have a DUTY to protect children a straw man, brilliant!

  Did anyone read the article on the news about child protective services (or whatever agency it is that delegates children to foster care) handing over little children and mentally challenged little children (hundreds of them) to a child rapist who raped them and more for a period of 20 years?

  Any government agency can make a mistake. BUT 20 YEAR!!! What a hunk of "bullocks" from these people who have the duty of protecting children.

  So I think these threads on proof of Gods existence are insane, we are here together ex- Jehovers Witnesses and we need special emergency meetings to discuss if God exists. That's insane.

  Ahhh, I thinks you see after all.

  Seems to me here though that these people are hurtin, not so much that they do not know that God exixts but give up faith because they cannot reconcile God with seas of suffering. I see poi pain and others, but not until his last post did I see proof of CL pain. I wish I could give you what I have.

  Here is the objective evidence that Jehovah is reality that can be verified: Jehovah's Holy Spirit is proof, conclusive, convincing evidence, certainty- which is what proof is all about
  

  Subjective evidence is just that, evidence; it is convincing, but,you just do not know with certainty.

  I am certain that God exists.

  Chitty

  i've learned that many years ago, there was a man named brother chitty of some prominence in the jehovah's witnesses organization.

  it fact, chitty was a member of the governing body.

  chitty was asked to resign his position after serving for many years and nothing much was ever said about it to jehovahs witnesses.

  How could anyone ask the guy anything for him to defend? WT moved him away.

  And how does that subject matter have anything to do with it being unfair to defame a man from accusations without first listening to his defense?

  Happy Pi Day

  by dothemath in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  tomorrow is march 14 (3.14), so its known as pi day, to honour the all-important constant.. incidentally, the bible has been criticized by mathematicians because the scriptures give a very poor value of pi.. the scripture is based on 1kings 7: 23 and reads as follows:.

  "and he proceeded to make the molten sea ten cubits from its one brim to its other brim, circular all around; and its height was five cubits, and it took a line of thirty cubits to circle all around it".

  now that shape is actually mathematically impossible to construct, because if the diameter is 10 cubits, the circumference would have to be 31.4159 cubits.

  This blog explains why the apologist explanations are wrong:

  I suppose that proves that the Bible is wrong?

  I do not see how not liking evidence invalidates it. I also do not see how conclusions about evidence invalidates it.

  You have no idea how you belittle people by your comments sometimes

  That is another subject matter and you also posted other subject matters. And we can discuss all of these discuss subject matters.

  But what does that have to do with it being unfair to defame a man from accusations without first listening to his defense?
