by AK - Jeff in

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

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??

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.

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.

Respectfully
