  coarse joking

  by I-CH-TH-U-S in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  based on eph 5:4-5, 4nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.

  5for of this you can be sure: no immoral, impure or greedy personsuch a man is an idolaterhas any inheritance in the kingdom of christ and of god.

  (basically coarse joking makes you an idolator and means you cant go to heaven or "paradise") .

  what exactly is coarse joking? is it swearing? is there an exception if you drop a knife on your foot? just some questions that come to my mind.

  John Bunyon's description of the AntiChrist - does it fit Jw?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  of antichrist by john bunyon .

  published in 1692.

  antichrist is the adversary of christ; an adversary really, a friend pretendedly: so then, antichrist is one that is against christ; one that is for christ, and one that is contrary to him: (and this is that mystery of iniquity (2 thessalonians 2:7).

  Possible Bumperstickers

  2. bible

  finally-free wrote this comment on the "united in worship topic..." i thought it would make a great bumper sticker.

  the watchtower is a bit like microsoft in this respect.

  you're always having to upgrade, but very little new useful functionality is included in upgrades.

  Hardened Heart

  by I-CH-TH-U-S in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  what does it mean when god "hardened pharoah's heart"?

  i know part of this is to teach the egyptians that he has control over them and stuff (ie using plagues that were representatives of their gods).

  i also think about it and say to myself that if he is doing that to the egyptians he is "torturing" them, i once had a jw tell me that god doesnt torture people.

  so if God is behind all this what conclusion is best to draw from it, that God is a crazy guy who tortures ppl or is it that he punish's people for doing wrong (even if he is sorta forcing them to do wrong)?

  John 20:19-21

  19 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this TEMPLE, and I will raise it again in three days."

  20 The Jews replied, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?" 21 But the TEMPLE he had spoken of was his BODY.

  does this imply that jesus can raise his own body up when he is dead? how could this be possible? if how i percieve this then Jesus could well have said Destroy this BODY, (because by temple he means body) and I (meaning he has the power to and) will raise it again in three days.

  any thoughts?

  Have you read Hebrews, at least the first page?

  
  Hebrews 1:5-6

  5 For to which of the angels did God ever say,
  
  "You are my Son;
  
  today I have become your Father [1] " [2] ? Or again,
  
  "I will be his Father,
  
  and he will be my Son" [3] ? 6 And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says,
  
  "Let all God's angels worship him." [4]

  1. Hebrews 1:5 Or have begotten you
  2. Hebrews 1:5 Psalm 2:7
  3. Hebrews 1:5 2 Samuel 7:14; 1 Chron. 17:13
  4. Hebrews 1:6 Deut. 32:43 (see Dead Sea Scrolls and Septuagint)

  Michel would bever be worshipped (because then he would be a idol/false god, same concept goes with jesus if he is not God, see below)

  AND that is just one part of hebrews 1, the whole thing is full of jesus aint michel stuff let alone trinity stuff example in verse 3 - "the son is the radiance of God's Glory..." (cross reference Jn 17:5, “So now you, Father, glorify me alongside yourself with the GLORY that I HAD alongside you before the world was”) but Isa 42:8 says, “I am Jehovah. That is my name; and to no one else shall I give my own glory…” Isa 48:11 says, “… And to no one else shall I give my own glory .”

  just another thought that goes along wit hebrews 1
