  Iran - to Stone To Death 2 Sisters

  this is not a 'muslim bashing' thread.

  it is a perfect example why old words, found in caves, written by someone you don't know...in a desert far, far away can be dangerous.. turkey, a 98% muslim country is a secular country.

  "The Cross in the New Testament", Morris

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the doctrine of salvation provides the meaningful context to subjects such as the vindication of god; the nature of deity; the kingdom; the death, resurrection and ascension of jesus christ; blood; the gospel; the law of god; the return of christ; and more.. wedge politics on these other subjects are attempts to introduce diversions from the most important doctrine of salvation.

  when a person realises that god offers salvation as a free gift, based on the completed work of jesus christ, and that its benefits start to become available here and now, then the futility of arguing about these other subjects are made clear.. arguments about doctrinal differences are used by religious manipulators to gain control of peoples minds and lives.

  these manipulators use these arguments to create separation between individuals, within families, and between nations, creating tension, separation, war and death.

  Sounds like an excellent book Doug, Didnt Martin Luther say something similar that the doctrine of salvation is central and which all other doctrines should be judged by.

  The Spread of Muslims in Europe

  by serotonin_wraith in

  the spread of muslims in europe.

  it seems inevitable that a hundred or two hundred years from now, the majority of people in europe will be muslim.

  this is based on the number of children they are having compared to non muslims, and the presumption that they will be told from a very early age they are muslim too, and taught to believe the same things as their parents.

  On a more positive note many muslims when they come to western countries become apostates to Islam. It is estimated there are 200,000 apostates in england who under sharia law should be put to death. Muslims have the freedom to do what they want in western countries and havent got the threat of death over them as they have in the country they leave. eg in Pakistan anyone can be put to death for apostacy and people live in fear of being accused.

  Many of these people who migrate are name only muslims some muslims became christian when they arrived in Australia.

  The book of mormon has no supporting evidence of Archaeology or Geography according to Thomas Murphy Archaeologist and former mormon.

  The great battle at komora hill has no evidence according to archaeologists of metal weapons and with 200,000 supposidly killed in that area there is no bones either.A similar battle at the same time found in the bible has ample evidence thousands of steel arrowheads.

  According to geography the descriptions in the book of mormon is certainly of a geography that doesnt exist on earth but if we were to travel in the middle east the geography fits and the cities are still called by the same name.

  According to Archaeologists there work doesnt lie and cities cant be hidden because they leave just too much evidence the cities found in the bible can all be visited but not one of the 38 cities mentioned in the book of mormon can be visited

  There are 5500 manuscripts can be sighted for the bible but we only have dissappearing golden plates for the book of mormon.

  The american indians are asian people and dna has proven no evidence of any other mixing of the race older then about 300 years ago. THe american indians are not jewish they are asian.

  Susan here as you have all the answers please share . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1mFdO1wB08

  I dont have any malace toward mormons, when I was younger in our house and living with my parents we had a recording of the mormon tabernacle choir and it was one of our favorite records and at that time we notices one of the hymns had a refference to jesus going ten thousand miles to america.None of us at that time knew what it was all about.

  What is required is the mormon church shoud tell the truth about their lie and stop deceiving people.

  i think useing a credit card is a bit deceiving after all most people I beleive do spend more moneyon a credit card because it doesnt seem like real money. Instead of useing a credit card would you get the money out of youre pocket and hand it over just as easy.Something to think aboutbut I never use credit cards I only have a bank debit card.

  while other countries have had their recessions the Australian economy is doing well and we havent had a recession for twenty years.Many people here dont know what hard times are like.

  i'm a southern girl, born and raised in the southeast.

  i don't think humor gets any better than redneck humor, unless maybe it's black humor.

  black southern humor, even better.

  OK I will admit that torture would cause pain but it would be for the greater good.

  Many of us in ordinary society suffer pain for the greater good such as kidney donors, bone marrow donors and even blood donors. So why should we be concerned about a prisoner suffering some pain for the greater good if he has information about bombs or other WMDs he knows about.

  C. T. Russell and the Trinity Doctrine

  by NanaR in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have a question.. i know that russell's hallmark was "putting the hose on hell", so i'm assuming that the belief that humans do not have an immortal soul was also one of his early teachings.. however, i know that russell used the symbol of the cross, celebrated christmas, and that the early bible students also fellowshipped with other christians.

  my grandmother, for example, attended a baptist church on sundays but went to bible student group studies with her father through the week.. so i am wondering about the witnesses rejection of the trinity doctrine.

  did russell outspokenly reject the trinity doctrine?

  Gday jwfacts, You said that SDA offshoots held to Arianism and while that is true it may supprise some that during the 50s when Barnhouse and Martin studied SDAism they found a morass of contradictions of material all with the church logo but teaching both Arianism and the trinity doctrine. These crontradictions are found in the opinions of the SDA church members.

  Im wondering when our Mormon friends will comment. I didnt get an answer when I asked some questions about why not even one artifact has been found or one city found out of 38 cities mentioned in th ebook of mormon.

  My conclusion so far is the book of mormon is a fake.
