  Why go back to the Old Testament?

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  why do jws insist on still quoting from the old testament to back up some of their wacky ideas?

  such as on blood, beards, abortion, tattoos, etc.

  surely if the mosaic law code was nailed to the torture stake all of its parts were cancelled.

  In response to EverApostate . . .

  The Old Testament, on multiple occasions, specifies that gods law mentioned there is to time indefinite.

  How can Jesus void or change it? Isn't he the greatest apostate and rebel then?

  Someone please clarify.

  Frequently, we interchange words that are similar in meaning, although there are distinctions. For example, "continually" means off and on, whereas "continuously" means nonstop; hence, "continual rain" is intermittent showers, and "continuous rain" is precipitation with no letup. My thinking is that a time period currently viewed as indefinite might still have a terminating point; however, something that is stated as forever is unending.

  Time Indefinite:

  not definite; without fixed or specified limit; unlimited: an indefinite number. not clearly defined or determined; not precise or exact: an indefinite boundary; anindefinite date in the future.

  Forever:

  1. for all future time; for always.

     
     

  1. lasting or permanent.

  i hope you're not dealing with wildfires in your area.

  currently, california is under siege.

  we, in the sierra nevada foothills, had our major conflagration last october and needed to evacuate.

  Yes, LV101, regarding the effect on our bodies. Even brief pooch walks have proven difficult. Wishing you and yours well, and Bill, too.

  Many thanks, again.

  Once again, I thank you, Bill and LV101, for your updates.

  Bill mentioned manzanita in both his posts, if I recall correctly. There's a ton of it here in areas of the Sierra Nevada foothills, much of it very close to home. It is beautiful but extremely flammable.

  Pointed out - that seems like an extreme oversight.

  IF it is not intentional, how did they miss such a thing? It doesn't even look like a hand at all. I know they use live actors to set up the artwork - this just looks like the finishing artists missed it entirely. Does no one review this stuff before it prints? Could be the artist just 'sketched in a hand' then never went back to finish.

  Thanks, LV101, for the good thoughts!

  I miss the Monterey Bay area, where I grew up. Hated the fog then but would love it now.

  Thanks, Bill, Shirley, and Flipper:

  The skies are actually blue today, yet I woke up to an ash-covered truck this morning. I'm trying to go about the day's business, but with a heavy heart. On my way out from my dog sitting job, I will drive by a burnt-out hillside that I could fairly touch: last October's scare that could have wiped out my gated community.

  Please be safe, all.
