Young Earth Evidence: You'd Be Surprised!

by Xtreme4Gzus in

i'd like to, once again, bring up the topic of young earth creation.

i myself am not a jw, but was drawn to the large mistakes posted on this site in attempt to "prove" old earth creation ("genesis 'days'", "distant stars," etc.

)i have several reasons to refute these claims:

MORE QUESTIONS...TACKLE ONE TODAY!

by stillAwitness in

1. so i purchased a new laptop 2 weeks ago and besides the 10 viruses i had a brother in my hall get rid of (i didn't know thats what that anti-spyware thing a magig was for!?

) its been running pretty good.

but now that i have been on there and of course have been rummaging through "apostate sites" if i ever need the brother to do work on my laptop for me again will he be able to know that i have been in such sites???

I-CH-TH-U-S

if I ever need the brother to do work on my laptop for me again ;will he be able to know that I have been in such sites???

only if he does snooping where he shouldnt be...so basically how well do you trust him?

How important do you think it is for ;a couple to share the same religious views

extremly important, the bible talks about how we need to be "equally yoked" i know i could never date a girl who isnt around the same walk with God then me let alone have a whole different belief structure

What do you call the chord I see college students carrying around when they want to transfer material from there personal computer to a public one? I need to buy one. Are there different kinds? What is a fair price I should be paying for one?

they are called USB keys, they come in different capacitys of memory, 64mb 128mb 256mb 500mb, 1g, basically your going to pay $75-200 depending on how much you want to store on the key

Do you think it is smart for me to try a little harder in keeping up the "good little JW" facade to get my parents off my back; Maybe get out in service more (or at least pretend thats where I am going) comment more at meetings, ;etc? Lately, they have not been so willing to give me money and let me borrow there car from time to time (I have my own but its a potato bucket)

i think you should do what your heart tells you to do, all i know is that YHWH God is love, and if they are really folllowing YHWH, then they will love you no matter what you do and what decisions you make in your life. That is exactly what YHWH is about. he doesnt like seeing all the crappy stuff (ie sin) we do in our lives but it doesnt change how much he loves us. that is the kind of love that YHWH asks of us to be loving. now for your parents there is a time for scolding if you are doing something stupid (like stealing the car to go to your friends), but they shuoldnt hassle you for making decisions in your life, they may not agree, but they shuoldnt be hassling you, i dont see God hassling people, just doesnt work in my mind

hope that helps

does God change his mind?

by I-CH-TH-U-S in

.

in the story of jonah, god says he is going to destroy ninevah jonah 3:3 ..."forty more days and nineveh will be overthrown".

but then god's compassion comes and he spares nineveh, does god change his mind?

I-CH-TH-U-S

JESUS B-day

by I-CH-TH-U-S in

dec 25?.

oct 1?.

i have even heard some recent speculation on jesus possibly being born in march which is interesting.. october seems reasonable with the rational of "shepherds watched their flocks by night" and in the december months it would be too cold for them to be out?

Re: a christian

Was Jesus the first creation.

by ajie in

as i mentioned in my last post that im studying the book what the bible really teaches,anyway im now on the bit about who is jesus,now it uses the scripture col1:15 does this prove he was created where it says hes the firstborn.

I-CH-TH-U-S

so if jesus was the "first creation" and by him all things (or even all (other) things) were created, then what about:

isaiah 44:24 - This is what the LORD says—
your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb:
I am the LORD,
who has made all things,
who alone stretched out the heavens,
who spread out the earth by myself

contradiction or trinity confirmation?

Do you think that JW's leaders are going to announce a new date in 2006?

by booker-t in

i was reading a thread here the other and it mentioned that the assembly for 2006 will be "delivance at hand".

is this going to be like 1974 when every jw's thought the end was going to come in 1975?

i don't think jw's leaders would be that stupid again and build jw's for another date-setting letdown.

I-CH-TH-U-S

so who is going to conquer in the 00's (does that sound weird to say?)

my predictions:

Vancouver Canucks, Obesity, interenet downloading, MP3 Players, Bill Clinton, Bare Naked Ladies (thats a band for those who arnt canadian or versed in music) Honda, the rise (and fall) of flare jeans (again), breast enlargment, breast reduction (due to botched breast enlargement), real estate, the salvation army....but most importantly.....Fidel Castro and Communism, we all know its the best way to get things done, cuba - top education and great doctors (minus the supplies) everyone in cuba is a genius, we need to let them take over...

coarse joking

by I-CH-TH-U-S in

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") .
