News Item!! The Biblical NT story has been PROVEN to be a hoax!!
by Jack C. in

ok i lied; there's no such news item.

however, imagine for a minute that it was indeed fact and that the evidence was irrefutable that the new testiment account in the bible was proven to be a hoax started by the early constantine government and perpetuated by the church over the centuries.

now, if you are of the atheist persuation it seems plausable that your reaction would be something similar to "i told you so" and that life would go on pretty much as usual.

12 Questions For Jehovah's Witnesses
by XJW4EVR in
1. jw
2. friends
i found this blog by happenstance, and i was wondering if some of you could answer these questions as a jw to help me anticipate future arguments.

i have some answers already, but would like some additional input.

why did jehovahs witnesses properly worshiped christ jesus until 1954?if all that was made was made through him(john 1:3) and for him( colossians 1:16, romans 11:36), why add word other-allos in col 1:15-17?was jehovah god without wisdom before creating him(proverbs 8:22-31) ?if firstborn means first created, then what does firstborn of the dead mean?
