Why are Battle Against Faith

by Jonathan Drake in

if any are willing, share your fact based reasons for viewing faith as dangerous.

viewing faith as dangerous is the reason for almost all of my posts recently.

what seems constant is that theists are too focused on there own little world to realize how and why faith is so damaging to society.

The moral problem of Ephesians 5:23

by opusdei1972 in

for the husband is the head of the wife as christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the savior.

(ephesians 5:23).

if jesus is the head of the church, jesus is responsible for the many contradictions contained in the new testament.

LAWHFol

Jesus is not the "Head" of the Church, it is Paul who Created Christianity, and whose teachings, flood the Christian Churches of today.

Jesus and Paul Taught completely different Lessons.

Best Argument for Atheism - In your view.

by LAWHFol in

if crisis of conscience is one of the top watchtower doctrine killers, what is the coc of theism?.

i'd like to read a book, or other material that does the best job logically arguing for atheism.. i've not read any darwin, however it is my assumption that his focus is primarily on evolution, is this correct?

if you were to recommend one book or a few pieces of reading material, which do the best job of defending atheism, what would they be?.

LAWHFol

Thank you Fink,Meph,snare.. I'll let you know my thoughts when I read.

Reasons there is no God

by Lemonp in

ok, lets assume that god created everything as is, with no evolution involved.

this is what jw's teach based on a singular vague verse in genesis.

made according to their types.

LAWHFol

Fusion theism - It doesn't prove that God Enjoys watching Animal Suffering. It proves that he allows it. Universal Justice & Moral Laws exist just as Natural Laws exist.

Simply because God does not intervene, and Stop suffering, does not mean that he does not Exist, or that he is evil. It can mean that he chooses to abide by Universal Law.

example - If this event happens, then this event must happen. Or if this creation decides to do this, then this happens as a result.

This is Justice - Cause & Effect.

Lemonparty the book of Jasher is quoted by The NWT 2 Samuel 1:18 " and said that the people of Judah should be taught the dirge called “The Bow,” which is written in the book of Ja′shar."

Other Bible canons, include the book of Jasher, thus qualifying it as a scripture.

Lemonparty,

You're quite mistaken about, there being no scriptural texts about the corruption of animals :

"18 And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals." (Jasher 4:18)

(Jasher is a legitimate scriptural text, which is quoted by the NWT canon)

There are several other historical and or scriptural texts that discuss the corruption of animals, by the Nephilim. It is possible that the dinosaurs came about, through cross breeding, and this was the reason that they were destroyed permanently.

2 Enoch 18:3-5 " These are the watchers, 200 leaders of whom fell away and went down to the land of Hermon. They took a vow on Mount Hermon, seeing how gorgeous human women were, and they took them as wives. The land was raped, the women acted like scoundrels, and the whole era was marked by criminal behavior and cross-breeding. Their children were giants and monsters."

"The Apostle" Paul & "The governing body" He paid not attention to them

by LAWHFol in

many witnesses view the structure of the organization, and the authority of the governing body , as a model of the first century congregation..if the governing body is, indeed structured similarly to the 12 apostles.

paul provides a good example of how we need to view men such as these.. he admonishes christians to reject any teaching that is different from god's word gal 1:8 "but even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.".

he shows by his words that the first century leaders, meant little to him.. 2 cor 11:5 "indeed, i consider that i am not in the least inferior to these super-apostles.".

2 Cor 11:5 "Indeed, I consider that I am not in the least inferior to these super-apostles."

Galatians 2:6 "As for those who were held in high esteem--whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism--they added nothing to my message."

He showed by his actions that the leaders meant little to him.

After he said, that he received his commission, he did not consult with the Apostles, "nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me," Gal 1:17

After he began preaching to the Gentiles, he waited more than 14 Years To report his Time and Bible Study Information! "Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem" Gal 2:1

And the Most Shocking, is at Gal 2:11 .. Paul Confronted Peter to his Face, and made him aware of the fact, that what Peter was doing was very wrong! "But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him to his face, for what he did was very wrong."

Imagine if a JW publisher, made comments, to the effect that the gb is not of any consequence to them, and that they have not learned anything from the gb, everything that they learned was from the bible? Or what if a witness, were to confront a gb member directly and tell them, that they stood condemned, because of their wrong ways?? Oh My.

But those were only Bible Times, we don't worry about such details now.. We're only concerned with following the governing body, so we can be declared sheep.
