  a second hand in creation

  by drew sagan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my purpose in this post was to get a discussion going about how the jws interpretation of christ being a separate created being assisting in the creation of all things seems to run up against the hebraic concept of a creator.

  in doing some reading into some of the old rabbinical teachings i came across an interesting interpretation that made me think about jws.

  it revolves around genesis 1:26 where gods states "and god said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness".

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we use so many abbreviations here that i thought a list might help people who are unaware of their meanings (not everyone here is or was a jw).

  some are related to internet use and some are specific to jws.

  so feel free to add to the list.. jwd = this website = jehovahs-witness-discussion.

  How do Jews view 607 /587 debate?

  by AgentSmith in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the jw's use the prohecy of daniel etc to get to 607 as the date jerusalem fell.

  i know the jews accept 587 as the correct date.

  so how do they view the calculation of the prophecy, of 'ol king neb and babylon etc?.

  The Bible say if you have to save life Shabbat is not valid.
  Shabbat is god commend is one of the must observed day for the Jew (and Jesus)
  So if you need blood, do you save life? Therefore you must accept blood suicide is absolutely forbidden in Jewish low

  Drew Daniel is minor profit. If you look at the Bible to suit some prophecy you can do it very easily you do not need to go far all the way to Daniel. BTW Daniel book was written after the events, must of the book is BS
  But for the ones who believed I do respect their believed myself I don’t I’m atheist some event in the Bible happened but must are imagination

  The Jew believes the Temples, both of which were destroyed on the ninth of Av in 586B.C.E. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/holidayd.html

  Tisha B'Av, the Fast of the Ninth of Av, is a day of mourning to commemorate the many tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people, many of which coincidentally have occurred on the ninth of Av.
  Tisha B'Av means "the ninth (day) of Av." It usually occurs during August.
  Tisha B'Av primarily commemorates the destruction of the first and second Temples, both of which were destroyed on the ninth of Av (the first by the Babylonians in 586 B.C.E.; the second by the Romans in 70 C.E.). Because the Reform movement does not assign any special significance to the Temple, the Reform movement does not observe this holiday.
  Although this holiday is primarily meant to commemorate the destruction of the Temple, it is appropriate to consider on this day the many other tragedies of the Jewish people, many of which occurred on this day, most notably the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492.
  Tisha B'Av is the culmination of a three week period of increasing mourning, beginning with the fast of the 17th of Tammuz, which commemorates the first breach in the walls of Jerusalem, before the First Temple was destroyed. During this three week period, weddings and other parties are not permitted, and people refrain from cutting their hair. From the first to the ninth of Av, it is customary to refrain from eating meat or drinking wine (except on the Sabbath) and from wearing new clothing.
  The restrictions on Tisha B'Av are similar to those on Yom Kippur: to refrain from eating and drinking (even water); washing, bathing, shaving or wearing cosmetics; wearing leather shoes; and engaging in sexual relations. Work in the ordinary sense of the word is also restricted. People who are ill need not fast on this day. Many of the traditional mourning practices are observed: people refrain from smiles, laughter and idle conversation, and sit on low stools.
  In synagogue, the book of Lamentations is read and mourning prayers are recited. The ark (cabinet where the Torah is kept) is draped in black.
  List of Dates
  Tisha B'Av will occur on the following days on the American calendar:
  • August 3, 2006 (Jewish Year 5766)
  • July 24, 2007 (Jewish Year 5767)
  • August 10, 2008 (Jewish Year 5768)
  • July 30, 2009 (Jewish Year 5769)
  • July 20, 2010 (Jewish Year 5770)
  • August 9, 2011 (Jewish Year 5771)
