Jesus death

did jehovah know that jesus was going to die before he sent him to earth or is that just the way events unfolded.

it sounds a bit mad sending your only begotten son to earth as a perfect baby knowing that later in life he would be nailed and toutured on a stake because jehovahs's principles of justice requires a soul for a soul

In response to the many posts: I don't know why you would consider God crazy for creating man knowing he would sin. The greatest thing in the world is LOVE. That is why he created us. That's like saying, if you knew your children were going to rebel against you, would you not have them? That's ridiculous. You have children to love and to be loved. This is the reason God created the world and man, because it was good and so that he could love and be loved in return. Of course he knew we would rebel. But it was only another opportunity to express his love for us. By sending down Christ, the Son of God, God incarnate to be humiliated, betrayed and suffer so that we would be seen as perfect as long as we accepted that sacrifice. Now we are allowed as imperfect humans to have a relationship with the perfect and Almight God. It is all about LOVE.

But if Adam and Eve had obeyed Jehovahs law there would have been no suffering to mar human life. Why did Jehovah make 'this law' if he knew his creation mankind would sin.

Why does everything have to be invisible to us humans now and no messages from God in thousands of years.

Very good question. Maybe because their isnt a God and the whole thing was just created by the human imagination to control mass populations and gain power.

and if jesus has been king now for almost 100 years, how can there still be a "millenium" left?

there's only 900 left isn't there??

what the hell has he been doing for 10% of his reign so far?

Why Jesus needs to be sued!!!

by THE SHOOTIST in

jw
friends

i believe jesus is guilty of betraying his fellow man.

he lied to his followers telling some of them they would still be alive when he returned.

in the book of revelation jesus said in the first and last chapters that he was coming quickly and for the reader 2000 years ago to use discernment because he was showing them what must shortly take place.

lime05

Yes if the whole Jesus thing wasnt just a myth. You cant sue someone who doesnt exist.

SATAN GAVE US LIFE

by lime05 in

.

its funny that jehovahs witnesses oppose satan and are looking forward to him being destroyed after armageddon seeing as if it wasnt for satan using the serpent to tempt adam and eve to eat the fruit we wouldnt even be here today as humans wouldnt have inherited sin and imperfection, death wouldnt occur therefore there would have only been one generation of humans after adam and eve fulfilled the purpose of filling the earth.

obliviously the current generation of humans wouldnt be here now so we can now come to the conclusion that satan gave us life.

lime05

But Adam and Eve were to fill the earth. Why would it of been only one generation??

Dont forget that in paradise humans would be immortal so really the age of people would be irrelevant. as Adam and Eve's children produce offspring, perfect babies who are being born would be going nowhere, then presumably every human would grow into an adult without suffering with old age sickness and death.

Assuming the Garden of Eden story IS true, would you really want to thank Satan for giving us this life?

No not really but i wouldnt want to thank God either as we wouldnt even have this life if Jehovah had his way and Adam and Eve didnt choose to reject his way of ruling mankind.

What answer will you get if you ask a JW who his savior is?

by JH in

jw
friends

will they say jehovah or jesus or both?.

ask many witnesses and see if you get a different answer.. in the bible jesus is called savior as well as jehovah.

so is it savior or saviors?.

lime05

The Watchtower refers to Jesus as Savior her e below and sometimes they say that Jehovah is the only savior...

Typical. just like when they say only jehovahs witnesses have any hope of salvation then change it when it suits them.

“7 Only Jehovah’s Witnesses , those of the anointed remnant and the “great crowd,” as a united organization under the protection of the Supreme Organizer, have any Scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by Satan the Devil.” Watchtower 1989 September 1 p.19

“Do they believe that they are the only ones who will be saved? No . Millions that have lived in centuries past and who were not Jehovah’s Witnesses will come back in a resurrection and have an opportunity for life. Many now living may yet take a stand for truth and righteousness before the “great tribulation,” and they will gain salvation.” Jehovah’s Witnesses, Who are they? What do they believe? (2002) p.29

45 “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time? 46 Happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so. 47 Truly I say to YOU, He will appoint him over all his belongings.

In Rutherford’s case it could be:

"Who really is the fat, obnoxious alcoholic whom his master appointed over his cult members, to tell them porky pies at the proper time?
