Do you still love the Bible?

as a jw i was brought up to believe the bible was the word of god, didn't contradict itself and could answer all our questions.

i loved the bible and took the words of proverbs 2 literally, where it says if you call out for undestanding and search for it you will find the very knowledge of god.

i studied the bible as jw's recomend, but found that it left me with more questions than answers and this eventually led me out of the "truth," as i discovered many contradictions in both the hebrew and the greek scriptures and instances where the apostle paul even contradicts jesus words.. in the most important event of bible history, (the death of jesus) the gospel writers can't even agree on the sequence of events and who he appeared to first after his resurrection.

folks this may have been posted, another thing to add to the "hummm, is this gods organization list?".

the may 1, 2007 question from readers brings new light to the subject of when was the year the call for the anointed ended?.

1935. new light alert -------the bible does not say ( this could have raised some issue especially in lieu of the age of new gov body members added last year or so).

John 17 does not supports the Trinity
by architect in

2. bible
i know that there are threads about the trinty on this site- but there is no end to the reasearch that can be had.

when reading john chapter 17 you cannot help but see that jesus had a relationship with his father.

if jesus is god in the flesh who was he talking to?
