The "Sign of the last days" and 2 Timothy 3:1-5

by EdenOne in

i've just published on my website a new article: the "sign of the last days" and 2 timothy 3:1-5 (click to visit).

it contains a critical analysis of the context of 2 timothy 3:1-5 and a refutation of the connection with matthew 24:3, and therefore, of the expression "sign" + "last days".. the article is divided in the following parts:.

introductionthe composite nature of the expression "sign of the last days"the context of 2 timothy 3:1-5the message of 2 timothy 3:1-5two fallacies about the "last days"conclusiondue to its lenght, i won't post it in full here, only the introduction:.

ANOTHER DISHONEST QUOTE FROM CHRIST'S BROTHERS!

by DATA-DOG in

they " evidently " have not learned their lesson.

here we go.. wt march 15th 2013. honor jehovah's great name.

1) by and large, christendom's churches have distanced themselves from god's name.

Thanks for explaining point (2). "Always check your sources" doesn't go well with the WT.

Thanks for this DATA!,

So, let me see if I'm correct: The WT says that Christendom's churches hold the view that we should not use the proper name of God, they say it's inappropiate,

But

the real quote says that the what is inappropiate is (1) the use of the made-up name "Jehovah".

But I don't understand the point (2) the use of any proper name for the one and only God, as though there were other gods from whom He had to be distinguished, was discontinued in Judaism before the Christian era and is entirely inappropriate for the universal faith of the Christian Church.

What is entirely inappropriate for the universal faith of the Christian Church? The use of the name "Jehovah", the use of God's name, or the discontinuation of the name by the Jews?

Thanks!

i dropped off my wife the other day at the cuircit ass and driving out of the car park i was flagged down by an elder i know.

he was and still is one of the genuine ones, a real solid guy.

anyhoo, he tells me to come back as we are so close to the big a and he also tells me that a new bible is gonna be released.

pixel

If I'm not mistaken, there was the green-cover Bible, and then the black Bible without the reference column in the middle of the page, and then the one currently in use.

Is somebody here that remembers the transition that the WT used with these Bibles? Did they show it off at conventions or just shipped them to the KH?

Warwick, New York: This complex will serve as the new world headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses . Existing empty buildings have been removed from the site. The Witnesses have obtained a parcel of land 10 kilometers (6 mi) away, in Tuxedo, New York, to stage machinery and building materials. The relevant local authorities have accepted the final environmental impact statement for the project. Once the site plan is approved, an application will be made for building permits. In the meantime, the world headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses continues to operate from Brooklyn, New York.

JULY 15th Study Watchtower - NEW LIGHT IS FANTASY

by The Searcher in

the july 15 study watchtower uses all 4 study articles to try to inculcate into every witnesses' mind that the governing body is indisputably god's sole channel of communication on earth.

to do so, it uses a multitude of scriptures along with seriously flawed un-inspired reasoning.

the foundation stone of this watchtower's blatant agenda is the claim that when jesus used only a few to dispense the physical food to the many, he was setting a principle which would be applied to the distribution of spiritual food after he returned to heaven.

Excellent The Searcher.

Good observation EdenOne. At least we know Jesus had 70 disciples by the time he was on earth.
