Marijuana & Schizophrenia

by ICBehindtheCurtain in

hi guys, i was researching this because of something that's going on with a family member, and i found it quite interesting since some other family members who we have tried counseling on the use of this substance told us that marijuana is not addictive, that it's an innocent plant and is not harmful yadayadayada, yeah right!

i intend to go over this with our kids and make sure they understand the documented dangers of this very popular drug.

i just wanted to share it with you all.

HI,
I seriously abused cannabis for awhile, after the high and when i came of i suffered immense panic attacks and anxiety . I ended up on prozac for a long time, previous to this i hadnt had any mental problems whatsoever.I belive it is definately addictive and alters the mind permanently.My Brother in law who has smoked it for years tried to go cold turkey and nearly ended up at the local mental institution.

Paul Did Not Write Hebrews

by Butters in

for those of us who still read the bible, and believe it, it should be noted that paul did not write hebrews.

there is a clear statement in the bible that proves this rather easily.... hebrews 2:3 how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation?

which having at the first been spoken through the lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard;.

Butters,
"I would not trust the Church fathers. That's one point. Trust the Torah. They don't. Love Yahweh's Sabbaths. They don't. Trust the good health habits of the food laws like Paul does. They don't. Eat clean fish, not swine. The bible teaches us proper meals. Trinity and other falsehoods, virgin birth, mary worship all that pagan stuff. Bad. Good Jewish roots. Truth."

Some would say your good Jewish roots are the cause of most problems, so we should think carefully as to imposing our views in this way upon others my friend.Can there be found absolute evidence of what you say?? it is doubtful.You are emitting a negativity towards all others beliefs besides yours - please show us where the Torah / bible / paul implies this to be the correct mannerism of a christian or whatever they consider theirselves to be in the light of Our God. isnt Love supposed to be our greatest attribute as those who follow in Gods footsteps.

2nd Corinthians 3

by Butters in

i want to get a solid opinion on this chapter from everyone.

2nd corinithians 3 is a major set back for those who believe in keeping the 10 commandments.

possibly.

Hi Butters,
I would like your answer on this please
"Sorry... You are wrong on this Leolaia. Too much pagan Greek Church stuff and Ex-Watchtower stuff lingering around I think. Try Messianic Judaism out for a change. The real Messiah by the way is Yoseph's son. Not a spirit baby according to some pagan neo-platonism. Isaiah 7:14 doesn't belong in Matthew. The real true Hebrew Matthew doesn't have that verse. Isaiah 7:14 is fulfilled in Isaiah 8:3 anyway.... A sign to Ahaz makes no sense 400+ years before the Messiah is born... It's biblical ballyhoo."

so are you saying to read the NT or not ?? or is it all biblical ballyhoo ?? if so why do you keep quoting Paul ??

This is a serious question and im not meaning to insult you.I just dont quite understand your viewpoint.
i would be happy to read an explanation from your point of view though.

i still consider myself a christian, and would like to find a forum where good discussions about faith and christianity are featured.

i love the give and take here - and will not be abandoning this forum - i just want to add a dimension to my spiritual thinking that seems missing at the moment.

i do not attend church.

Hi Jeff,
I have just purchased web space etc. and have the ability to start a new forum there. i have tried to contact Simon to see if i can advertise it.It wont be concerned with Jehovahs witnesses , but just bible based discussion.

all the best

What Do You Think About The "Faithful&Discreet Slave Class"?

by minimus in

jw
friends

there are so many new posters here now, i think this topic should be revisited.

i believe the most ridiculous belief that witnesses have is a "slave class" made up of 144,000 give spiritual "food at the proper time".

why can't jws see thru this??

Ade

Hi True,
it would be nice to hear your opinion on the FDS .who or what do you believe it to be.

The sabbath day is a day when one and his/her family choose to offer that day to God, as with Jesus saying "keep doing this is rememberance of me " Jesus never actually necessitated that it be "that day" ie the day on which it ocurred.

Its the fact of rememberance and respect for our God and Lord.

Correct,
where i was going is that your statement concerning the "day or the lord" being the literal end day was an incorrect writing my friend.

hi Butters,
although i must agree that the Lords day reference is used many times with the Grandness of fulfilling the time, your arguementation runs very shallow. The wording is not predominantly used towards the final day and has been used by many of the minor prophets to show the upcoming destruction of Jerusalem and Judah for instance.

Zephaniah 1:14 carries no relevency to the Great Final day. however is clearly worded "The great Day of the Lord is near.." this day can easily be misconstrued to mean the great day of Armageddon. Now let us look back to who is to be destroyed during this great day. Zeph 1:1-6 Judah and Jerusalem are to be subject to Gods dissaproval of their actions, why ?? zeph 1:4 because the cutting off of the Baal and chemarims ( black men/priests - )is needed.

Because God was fully aware that the reformations brought by Josiah would in no way completely remove Baal worship.Hence although Zephaniah can be mistaken for a prefigurement of the Last day scenario it is actually in no way such a thing. And if one wishes to , one can draw a parallel even between the banishment from eden and the Lords great day.
