  How do you know Satan didn't inspire the Bible?

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jws believe that satan knows things about the natural world (like how it was formed).. they also believe that satan can influence events (even fulfill prophecies).. the bible is the source of great confusion and the vast majority of christians (2.2 billion people) believe it but do not have "accurate knowledgetm".. from the jw point of view, wouldn't it be more likely that satan inspired the bible than an all loving god?.

  "From the JW point of view, wouldn't it be more likely that Satan inspired the Bible than an all loving God?"

  No, it doesn't make sense from the JW or any Christian Fundamentalist point of view but I thought of the idea even though I don't believe in God/Satan. I toyed with the idea of making up a religion that teaches that the Bible was inspired by Satan as a way of making people evil and turning others against God.

  It would make for an interesting religion. The sermons would be religious but anti-biblical.

  it's been four years (has it really been that long) that i haven't been on jwd.. i was back out west for a long while and i came back to new england.

  just got an appartment with another sister and things are looking up.

  i'm keeping under the radar and avoiding elder visits--not fully out of the kingdom hall yet.

  God the father resurrected him as a courtesy.

  Jesus also had an immortal soul so he really did not die.

  Jesus was also in Sheol/Hades (The underworld according to a correct understanding of the word.) and was twiddling his fingers impatiently awaiting the resurrection.

  GB Permits Texas Two-Step on Kingdom Hall Stage, etc.

  the governing body not writing their own articles is on this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/370640004/gb-providing-food-helpers-write-articles?size=10&page=1.

  but, something more sinister, more serious is taking place in the congregations.

  the governing body have allowed very disturbing activities to take place in the kingdom halls and during the conventions.

  JWdaughter & TakeOffTheCrown, how do you upload a video to rutube? I've tried accessing the site but I either get virus warnings or error 404. Also, do you need to know Russian in order to post?

  it had been raining and i could smell the pine trees nearby.

  god wasn't necessary.

  the clouds cleared and the sunlight blazing from above paid out a bonus in the puddles at my feet.

  hi all,i left the org in the late 90s.

  not because of beliefs or the 1914/generation fiasco.

  just thoughtlessness, hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance.

  so the other day i was walking through the huge local regional outlet shopping mall.

  i see this sign "how do deal with anxiety" didn't take very long at all to confirm it was a jw booth.. that sign bothered me.

  do jw actually think they have something to say about anxiety?

  What kind of errors in the Bible?

  by TheWonderofYou in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the new testament specialist daniel wallace notes that although there are about 300,000 individual variations of the text of the new testament, this number is very misleading.

  most of the differences are completely inconsequential--spelling errors, inverted phrases and the like.

  a side by side comparison between the two main text families (the majority text and the modern critical text) shows agreement a full 98% of the time.[18].
