  Was Jerusalem's destruction in 70 AD avoidable?

  by truthseeker in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  "look, your house is abandoned to you!

  " - this was jesus saying he had washed his hands of the jews - but was it the amharets (people of the earth) or the religious leaders he had given up on?

  jesus later said that "your enemies would come with pointed stakes...and would dash you and your children to the ground" - indicating that 37 years after he died, jerusalem would be destroyed.

  Had Jesus been accepted as the Messiah and had the Jews believed in him, I think Jerusalem would still have been destroyed. Think about it: The acceptance of Jesus by the Jews would have meant that they recognized someone new as their king. This, I'm sure, wouldn't have gone well with the Romans. Once the Jews have someone as King over them, guess what? They wouldn't have wanted to be ruled by the Romans. The Romans would've considered this a rebellion or rejection of their authority. So the Romans would've tried to have Jesus killed and those who accepted him as King.

  The name Jehovah

  by sweetums in

  i was wondering how many of you think that the name jehovah is actually correct?

  to be honest with you, everytime i hear it i cringe.

  i had that name shoved down my throat for the past 30 years by my witness mother-in-law.

  Undercover,

  "The name that will last forever" doesn't imply that it'll be pronounced correctly forever. It has lasted since it was first made known to Humans because it's always been known. Just bcz the correct pronunciation has been "forgotten" doesn't mean the name has been forgotten too.

  LIE in NWT Phil 3:11

  by hamsterbait in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  nwt has for philippians 3:11.

  " [to see] if i may attain to the earlier resurrection from the dead.".

  the greek doeas not contain the word "earlier" - nor does any other translation i checked.

  Hmmm...

  Well, I just compared many different Bible version in English, Spanish and French and yes, most of them do say "resurrection" and leave at that. But a few others paraphrase the meaning/translation and add "men" and other words that are not in the original Greek. And yes, obviously, they include "earlier" based on their believe but also because usually the word for resurrection is "anastasis" but Phil. 3:11 has the word "ex-anastasin" instead of just "anastasis". "Ex-anastasin" lit. could mean "out-resurrection" which the NTW includes in its footnote and so the WT makes a distinction between "ex-anastasin" and "anastasis". "ex" usually means out, out of. So they must've tried to fit a word that makes sense and they chose "earlier". Not that I'm defending the WT but every translator has to do this. No translation is perfect or word for word.

  Adam & Eve question...

  by tan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my young daughter asked this question regarding adam & eve:.

  if they were perfect, why did they need to eat from the tree of good and bad anyway?.

  we eat to nourish our bodies, we eat to replenish, we eat for energy....they were perfect and would not need those things.. from the mouth of babes.... what's your thoughts....

  Adam and Eve were NOT immortal. Nowhere is that mentioned in the Bible. Paul said that Jesus was the first being given immortality. Other than God Himself, no other being is mentioned as being immortal. Jesus was GIVEN immortality and so will those who go to heaven. But not even angels are said to be immortal.

  Well, not exactly. Yes, they were perfect. God created them perfect. But obviously, since God created trees and fruits and vegetable for them to eat, eating had nothing to do with being perfect. Just because they ate doesn't mean they weren't perfect and just because they were perfect, doesn't mean they didn't need to eat. Their perfection was mostly with their choices and aging process.

  Jesus was also perfect yet he ate and had to eat to survive. In addition, just because one is perfect doesn't mean one can't die. By being perfect, one can't naturally die from old age or sickness. Look at Jesus. He died but not from sickness or old age. He died because he was killed. He was also weak because he was starved. He even expressed being thirsty since he asked for water at the well and when on the stake.

  So, again eating doesn't mean not being perfect. If that were the case, why would God create trees so we can eat from them?

  Race! Why is it important?

  by Justahuman24 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, this is just going to be about some misunderstandings, i guess..

  why is it that most "americans" or people in the u.s. consider "hispanics/latinos" and spaniards to be the same?

  spaniards are caucasian.

  AmberRose,

  the name of the kingdom melody is Let God Be Found True - song 170 and the correct wording of the line is: "He’ll true be found, though every man A liar proves to be".
