44What are the names of the current GB members? Do the R&F know the Names?
by Momma-Tossed-Me ini never knew who was controlling my life.
i didn't know who they were, how they governed, what they personally believed etc.. granted the wtbts never put any of that out there but there are people who knew them and would of course relate "experiences" of meeting them and from that you could derive certain aspects of their personality.. i never thought to investigate the leadership until i started asking questions.. so how many are there now and what are their names?
i would like to ask my family if they can name them by heart.

Yknot is not playing nice today. One mustn't create such suspense and then not fulfill. Even the governing body don't do that. Like they said that Armageddon is imminent and so it is. They were right on the mark. It was imminent yesterday, today and will be tomorrow.

did jesus really succeed where adam failed?
by booby inwhy did jesus christ come to the earth?
the rebellion in the garden of eden brought a death sentence upon adam and eve and all their offspring, but god lovingly supplied hope.
he sent his son to the earth to provide what the bible calls a ransom.

Well thank you I guess. I struggle to know if you write out of your heart so to speak and that is why much of it is beyond my comprehension or if you speak from ego. This comment is in way an insult or even a challenge. Just an expression from MY little brain.

I will readily admit this is getting confoosing but for your consideration Aguest
The word of my Lord is that the issue was whether Adam WOULD indeed give all that he had... including his wife... and his progeny... in behalf of HIS sorry, puny life. How does this even become an issue; his choice is eat or don't eat. His answer should have been "No, I would never do that!" of course. And he could have evidenced this by doing the exact opposite of that accusation: giving HIS life...Where is there any suggestion that this was an option; Eve ate and would pay for that. No where does it say or suggest adam could have redeemed her error for hers (and theirs)... even though SHE had sinned/disobeyed. Did he love her... enough... to offer HIS life to "cover" hers? Again where does it say that was an option? Apparently, not. Adam did not "achieve" the law of love... which means showing GREATER love. Rather than give HIS life how would he do that? on behalf of the one who was supposed to be not only his friend, but his own flesh... Adam chose to give HER up as the cause of his choice. Not even sure what chose to give HER up means. Even though he KNEW the Most Holy One of Israel could... and WOULD... have brought him back to life. There is much talk of speculation in this thread. Is this not speculation. We know adam was told the consequences of eating, certainly no mention of info on a fix He gave Adam life to begin with - He knew good AND bad. Death had no hold on Him... and by means of Him would have had NO hold on Adam, either.

i certainly did not mean over my head in a bad way, as in, I didn't like what happened to the thread. The origin of the thread was the THE WATCHTOWER ? JANUARY 1, 2011 11 and was the first paragraph. The second paragraph was my simple musings on the statement contained in the watchtower. To say that Jesus succeeded where adam failed we must state how adam failed and how jesus then succeeded.
The point about "That's why the Church is called the "Bride" of Christ." might well be a bible truth but how is this related to what jesus achieved that adam did not. Can you say that jesus was thusly faced with a similar dilemma as adam. Part of the reason for saying it is over my head is the complexity that develops if we do not address the original question. For me it was a 'what say' moment when I read the statement from the watchtower and did it really make any sense. And even after all the good points and rhetoric in the thread I don't think it does. It is simply too narrow.
Same as the thought as were adam and eve perfect. What say you Aguest.
