  scholar and fisherman, i started this thread because i didn't want to highjack the one in regard to 588/568.. i just wanted to ask if you were both current active jw's that believe the jw's beliefs?.

  do y'all believe the gb are the f&ds?

  if the answers are no, then why do y'all defend so passionately the date 607?

  Fisherman:
  

  Not what I said. For example, the Bible states a flood occurred, Adam and Eve were created and Bible chronology. Obviously that can be challenged with scientific evidence.

  Backpedaling I see. ‘Adam and Eve’ and the ‘Flood’ (and the ‘Exodus’) are all examples of Bible stories that definitely didn’t occur in reality. There is a fallacy of composition regarding the broader sweeping statement of ‘Bible chronology’, which is accurate for the Neobabylonian period (both of which contradicts JW chronology) but not for the fanciful stories in Genesis.

  But you said:

  Conclude what you like and go away if you conclude it is fake. … If the Bible is approached from the position that the Bible is a fake, end of discussion.

  So despite your attempt (and the repeated fallacy of composition), you did indeed indicate your view that anyone who doesn’t agree with everything in the Bible should ‘go away’ along with a moronic opinion that ‘unbelievers’ can’t discuss the Bible, demonstrating your confirmation bias.

  Which is not you!

  Once again ‘scholar’ falls back to the time-honoured ‘nuh-uh’ defence. Compelling stuff. 🤦‍♂️

  Jorden:

  It seems that you reply without fully reading what you are replying to.

  The irony. 🤦‍♂️ In my comment that you quoted I said:

  And the claim that something after that would be evidence of God is just begging the question anyway.

  There is no basis for your assertions that any of the verses refer to the UN or to anything happening now.

  Fisherman:

  To the Jew and to the Psalmist it was axiomatic that God exists. There is no accountability as if there is no Jehovah. The poetic language of the Bible such as: “They have shut their eyes” and “now it has been secretly hidden from their eyes. Also, the Bible is written for believers. The language is shop talk and poetic language and literary device. The Bible claims to be the word of God and written not not for the unbelievers —but same as any deposition or testimony or document or evidence, it can be examined by anybody. Conclude what you like and go away if you conclude it is fake. But when interpreting the Bible prophecy or claims it is from the position that it is inspired. When interpreting the Bible though for example when a verse relates to when the Bible says that the earth was flooded it is from the position that the flood was true whether or not the truth of the flood is challenged. If the Bible is approached from the position that the Bible is a fake, end of discussion.

  This long-winded drivel is confirmation bias, asserting that only people who believe everything in the Bible can assess its claims. Asserting that everything in the Bible is true is also a fallacy of composition.

  ‘scholar’, thanks for continuing to demonstrate your fallacious approach to just about everything. It certainly helps readers to assess who is right.

  ‘scholar’:

  Clearly, you have a limited understanding of the meaning of 'atheism' being unable to answer such a basic question.

  Fallacy: straw man attack. I don’t care to engage in your tedious interrogation, which is not an indication of my understanding of the term.

  The evidence of God and my preferred deity -Jehovah God is right in front of you just open your eyes and observe the natural world for as a wise man said in Ps. 14:1 "The foolish one says in his heart; 'There is no Jehovah'".Are you a foolish one?

  Fallacy: straw man attack, appeal to emotion, naturalistic fallacy, confirmation bias, circular reasoning.

  ‘scholar’:

  Further, regarding your atheism are you a 'theoretical atheist' or a 'practical atheist'?

  I’m well aware that people like to come up with all types of tedious hair splitting definitions for these things, but it is a distraction from the fact that there is no evidence for your preferred deity.

  Jorden:

  Say what you will, I have told you what will happen.

  Good grief. 🤦‍♂️ But as already stated, even if such a war took place it wouldn’t be evidence of God. And the claim that something after that would be evidence of God is just begging the question anyway.

  WW3/collapse of this system>>>brings about empowering the UN>>>42-months later Jesus will come.

  You’re about 1,957 years too late for the start of the 42 months. Jesus didn’t show up when the period ended.

  ‘scholar’:

  Prove it. How can something stated decades later such as the time of writing Revelation as prophecy be now considered to be historical in 66-70 CE?

  It’s not my problem that you don’t understand the genre of Revelation. 🤦‍♂️ (So much for JWs being such great Bible teachers. 😂) Jesus was expected to return within a generation of his death, after the great tribulation. He didn’t. They were wrong.

  Jorden:

  You will see at the end of the 42-months, and you will believe then.

  The 42 months already happened in 66-70CE. Christian expectations for what would follow were simply wrong, and they’ve been making up alternatives ever since.
