  What do Christians believe about Heaven, Earth and the better RESURRECTION?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the bible speaks of several resurrections and several places.

  how are these reconciled by christians?.

  will people continue to live on earth, and if so will there still be death?.

  as a jw..did you ever have a REAL theological discussion with anyone?

  by candidlynuts in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this came up in a conversation with a non witness friend lately.

  he said its like i thought i was having theological discussions all the time but from what he could tell...i would go to the door with prearranged comments, which would illicit one of a few comments and my response would be as programmed as the initial comments.

  i'm no brainy person.. and freely admit i'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.

  by TheListener in

  i know it was a rather long and drawn out title but i couldnt' think of another way to word it.

  this is especially for the new poster darcy.

  i was wondering what you felt was necessary to receive everlasting life, whether on heaven or paradise earth?

  Something strange about "Christs invisible presence"...

  by Hellrider in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  something just occured to me: .

  we all know that "parousia" doesn`t mean "invisble presence" at all, it just means "presence", but think about the inlogical...ness about the whole jw-doctrine on 1914. my question is: what is jesus` job really, up there in heaven?

  - he "took reign" and was "given the throne" in 1914. but what does that mean, really?

  old light on mediating...

  by lost_sheep in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  blow the dust off your ancient watchtower tomes & delve into the annals (or should that be anals?

  ) of the wts's past... i'm trying to find out if they have ever taught that christ is the mediator for all people.

  recently finding out (after being raised a witness) that they teach that christ is not the mediator for everyone was disturbing to say the least.

  take the watchtower cd and do a search on the word "evidently".

  after you see the number of hits what sentence can you make.

  using the word "evidently"?

  NWT 2 Corinthians 5:20

  by TheListener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in 2 corinthians 5:20 the nwt says, "we are therefore ambassadors substituting for christ, as though god were making entreaty through us.

  as substitutes for christ we beg: "become reconciled to god.".

  i could not locate any other bible translations that have the word "substituting" in the text.
