true...........but Jesus talks at great length regarding how loving, merciful and fabulous God is, which differs greatly from the Hebrew Scriptures portrayal..........

Hebrew Scriptures Jehovah vs. Greek Scripture Jehovah
by Black Man ini've always had a problem with the hebrew scriptures and the way god was portrayed.
it's like talkin' about 2 different gods.
on one hand you've got a petty, murderous, jealous, insecure sounding god (hebrew) and on the other you've got someone who is supposed to be the epitome of love.

What are your most glaring examples you have with the hebrew god in comparison to the greek scriptures Jehovah? I'll start it.....................How about destroying everyone on the earth (sans 8 peeps and coupled animals) in the Hebrew scrips yet proclaiming in the Greek scriputures God desires no one to die..............

I've always wanted to do that and still do. Questions: How long is the training session? How can you tell when you're within 5,000 of land? How heavy are the parachutes?

The Idiocy of the Universal Sovreignty Issue
by Black Man indoes anyone else have trouble processing the logic behind the wts issue of universal sovreignty?
why empower satan to make claims and give him the time and circumstances to prove his claims?
why have a bet between 2 people decide the fate of the universe?

"However, I can't defend the Bible itself as a book inspired by God. And neither can you. The picture of Jehovah as portrayed in the Hebrew scriptures is totally unacceptable. He asks people to carry out ethnic cleansing - Amorites. He acts stupid sometimes and needs Moses to get him out of a destructive mood. He asks the Israelites to carry out occult rituals with dead birds and animals to work magic against mold growing in houses. He asks his son to die for humans to fullfil HIS justice. If he's God why can't he just forgive without demanding that his son die. You mean the supreme judge can't waive his own rules?"
This is at the root of why I can't understand God. The God of the Hebrew scriptures completely contradicts anything related to logic and reason AND contradicts how God is portrayed in the Greek Scriptures. The ransom is pointed to as THE integral teaching in the bible, but I think it is/was completely unnecessary. I can't reconcile the blatant contradictions.

Armageddon & 9/11
by Black Man inwhat's up, people?
been a while since i've posted.
anyhow, just thinking about 9/11 the other day as i was watching a special on tv which has made me realize that for years we were part of an organization that has looked forward to the death of the vast majority of mankind in much the same manner as the 9/11 tragedy (check out some of the pictures and witness porn from older publications especially).
