  scholar and fisherman, i started this thread because i didn't want to highjack the one in regard to 588/568.. i just wanted to ask if you were both current active jw's that believe the jw's beliefs?.

  do y'all believe the gb are the f&ds?

  if the answers are no, then why do y'all defend so passionately the date 607?

  Fallacy: begging the question.

  God is supernatural and outside the universe not physical. Proof is something empirical. Therefore only God can produce a miracle and God cannot be proven by science or by a person.

  The sort of convincing evidence that you seek can only come directly from God.

  But no guarantee what you would conclude from such evidence.

  There's no evidence Jesus ever 'fulfilled' any 'prophecies'.

  Yes there is.

  If you think anyone's 'jealous', you really are delusional.

  Doesn’t apply to you being a secular analyst

  the sounding of those seven trumpets got underway from 1922 with the Cedar Point, Ohio convention continuing on until 1928 with the Convention in Detroit,

  To the sad jealousy of others, the JW are fulfilling Bible prophecy. Take for example “How else will the scriptures be fulfilled when Jesus deliberately fulfilled prophecy.” Oh, the remarkable grasp and understanding of scripture by JW!

  Colossian 1:16 - "all OTHER things"

  by aqwsed12345 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  due to their apparent theological bias, the watchtower shamelessly inserts the word "other" in order to "make room" for their own idea that jesus is also a created being.

  it is clear that jehovah's witnesses try to avoid having to admit that christ created everything because "the one who constructed all things is god" (hebrews 3:4).

  instead, the society teaches that "christ was the only one created by god," and that then he "created everything else with jehovah.

  SBF, I sincerely enjoy your posts. You are one of the greatest posters here.,

  John 1:1 refers to Jesus as God/ god but not in the Rabbinical “shituf” ( partner) sense or as having the title God. In the Bible only Jehovah is the true God or the God or simply God. The JW Bible explains the verse with another verse: “Although he existed in God’s form.” The misunderstanding that JC is God lies with with western concept of God —is always One Almighty God and the English language. Therefore the non sequitur conclusion is a trinity or that Jesus is Jehovah ignoring everything else the Bible says.

  ” All authority has been GIVEN to me.”Jesus is now God by proxy. He has power of attorney. In the beginning Jesus was God but not by proxy. He was God in form. He had less power and authority than he does now sll tgecwhile being God back then.

  It can be concluded that minimum, 607 is arguable. There is zero proof showing that falsifies 607.

  you have been conditioned to only form your beliefs based on what the Watch Tower Society says.

  No I haven’t. They’ve been freeing scores of people out jail convicted with evidence. Besides, your logic is colored (against wt.) Mine isn’t. Im here. I remember back in the 70’s a new your times article exposing scientific fraud: fake fossils. Also, you confuse evidence with interpretation. For example 586 587 588 is derived not proven with direct evidence such as 539 the fall of Bavel is a historical fact. Show evidence not conclusions from the evidence. There is no evidence that I’ve seen that proves the date of Jerusalem destruction only interpretation and extrapolation and arguments and explanations.

  Name dropping some other works doesn’t change that

  Not name dropping. I’ve studied. And I concur with WT. And it does change that because it proves I’ve studied other schools of thought.

  You have thoroughly demonstrated that you reject factual material that isn’t consistent with JW dogma.

  No I havent.

  You’ve hijacked this thread as usual you go off into tangents. Why can’t you show the info I requested in the other thread.

  Also, what I conclude is immaterial to the weight of any evidence.

  I am interested in evidence which is verifiable: Such as the common denominator for Nebu’s 18th and 37th year. I an not interested is responding to your views about me anymore. Believe what you like. Evidence I am interested in seeing. You are dismissed.

  doesn’t sound as though

  Correct. It seems to you.

  In interpreting God’s Word, since I’ve already explained that God does not speak to me dictating what exactly a Bible verse mean, that’s why I say only my belief.

  other than whatever is spoonfed by the Watch Tower Society.

  Your flaw in logic and analysis is shown. First of all I’ve considered information on this thread from respected posters. I’ve also quoted from the Talmud and from Jewish sages such as Rashi, Moshe Ben Nachman, Rambam and others besides Christological books and other Bible commentators and languages throughout the years and more which you don’t know about. So again you are wrong. Even if I wasn’t a JW I would still concur with WT You only want to argue. My beliefs have formed from observation and study of wt material and other sources but not because wt says so although I agree with wt approach to interpret the Bible and WT interpretation.

  Archeological and plenty of other evidence has debunked 607

  No it hasn’t. The scientific interpretation is arguable.
