  Sexual Morality In The Old Testament Differs From That In The New Testament

  by AlanF in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  conservative christians like the jehovah's witnesses often claim that, like the new testament, the old testament forbids all sexual relations outside marriage, including relations between unmarried people.

  that is not quite true.

  to see that patriarchal and israelite culture adhered to a different standard, we must first understand just how the old testament treats marriage, sexuality and related items.. the old testament view of women as property.

  Very interesting post, AlanF! Thanks for all the time you put into this. I logged in from my usual lurking just to comment on this thread. I have often wondered about this very topic. Talk about food at the proper time. :-P Great work!

  Is WTS chronology flawed?

  by cultswatter in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  historians agree that jerusalem was invaded by babylon in 586/587bce.

  the wts discredits most historical records and says that jerusalem was invaded in 607bce.

  the wts start with 587 and add the 70 years that jerusalem lay desolate to obtain the 607 date.. if jerusalem was invaded in 587 then it lay desolate for only 50 years (587-537=50).

  The NWT of John 1:1; Some Questions For Leolaia and Narkissos

  by FireNBandits in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  to get right to the point, acts 12:22 and 28:6 both contain an anarthrous occurence of "theos" or a derivative, depending on one's textual base.

  in both instances these verses are rightfully rendered "a god" and not "god.

  " why, then, the mainstream christian problem with the same anarthrous construction in john 1:1 being translated in the nwt as "the word was a god"?

  Welcome AlphaOmega, & nice find. They are certainly not above using "theocratic war strategy" (WT 5-15-1957) on the flock.
