Leo, theory about small breeding group is right in case if the rules apply to them! But you can't say that their gene pool was so much damaged that they could not create children without problems. And you can see evidence - lifetime of Noa and his sons is very long - that means their health and phisical parameters were pretty damn good for breeding. And if you add God's own interests in the breeding...

Mesopotamia, the tower of Babel, fact or fiction?
by wanderlustguy inof course the area known as mesopotamia was real, and it looks like there is evidence of a "tower of babel".
but as for the story of all languages, etc is it where everyone came from?.
when we look at society today, as cultures and people of different races merge together, we see people becoming more like each other, not more distinct.

Was Eve Perfect?
by Sunnygal41 inhello, need some thoughts on this one............this question was presented to me last night and i told the person i'd bring it to the forum and get some of our resident scholars to opine on it.
the reasoning goes that eve did not have full knowledge like adam did, so when she took the fruit, she did so in that context and so, was not perfect, as adam was.

What is "perfect" in this context? Like God, like Angels... No!
Like human? Yes! Has she relationship with God - yes. Was she omnipotent, omniscent - no! -

Is there any offical statements from them. I think ppl would not have nothing against them if they saw that WT does real charity work.

For not understanding and not allowing you to interpretate is several reasons
1. Historical. Language changes, so you need expert who can translate words and sentences into your current language
2. You are too stupid to understand text. There is some degree of IQ needed sometimes to understand complex idioms and contexts
3. Your presupostition does not allow you to read what it is sayed, and you can fall into allegoric understanding where it is meant direct and vice versa.
So truth is not hidden. Just like truth about Quantum mechanics is not hidden, go and read books. But will you understand? And if your base is corrupted then whole building will fall apart! So for Bible in particular the base and the KEY for each context is Jesus Christ. If you do not know Jesus Christ, then Bible is hidden. And that's pretty clear. You need truth to understand truth. But Jesus Christ IS the truth! -

Did you ever think that your "eternal life" already started?
by JH in.
when i got baptized as a jw, and being told that the end was so close, and i was only 28, i really thought that my eternal life had already started.
i was sure, with their teachings, that the odds of dying was slim, compared to the proximity of the new system.. i really thought that my eternal life had started..

What did Paul mean?
by AK - Jeff inhe stated; .
"all scripture is inspired of god and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 that the man of god may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.
" 2 timothy 3:16,17. at the time of his writing this, much of what the universal [catholic] church later included in the now accepted nt canon was not written.

Is it Paul or Holy Spirit who speaks the words. And if HSpirit, then he is not bound by Paul's knowledge and considerations!
