REALLY Think about it before you post

by avidbiblereader in

there is a lot of threads going back and forth both ways, almost like a battle line has been drawn between believers and atheists.

however, let's just say for the sake of argument, that all religions including the witnesses, are wrong but the bible in itself is right.. everything that it has foretold is going to happen and just as god told noah, in 7 more days i am going to make it rain, but this time he now speaks to all of us and says in just 7 more days i will wipe the earth clean of all those who have or are revolting/disagree against me.. how would you react then?

how would you live your next 7 days?

For those who say they will not change, I truly repect that, I dont agree with it, but if you say you want to go out with a bang and burning Bright, I repect your honesty.

Bizzy Bee, before we go on the other way type thread and perhaps you may want to start one, it may be good to see the other thought process self examination if the Bible is wrong idea but to answer your other hypothetical,

Are we still being hypothetical? We'd have to interpret for ourselves what is meant by 'wipe the earth clean' - another flood? The earth swallowing up Buicks? Volcanoes? Soap and an almighty good scrub brush?
We'd also have to define what is meant by 'those who have or are revolting/disagree against me.' What would it take to 'agree' with God? What are His terms? The Bible is unclear about that, so therefore it is impossible to know how to avoid disagreeing with Him.

Remember, He is God and He can do whatever wants and no feat is to big, Remember, as God, He can get in direct contact with your mind and let you know personally what you/we would need to change.

respectfully,abr

Do I want to live under a tyrannical god?

He wasn't tyrannical, ALL religions had Him wrong, we all misinterpreted what He said and now He is going to give everyone a chance to really know who He is and what He really stands for.

I'd go and rent a 32 footer and pack it with enough food and supplies to last 30 days,

i think i'd make a boat

It will not be another flood as He has already stated and as noted in the thread, His Word was right and He said He would never do it again by water,

Does He allow those who have been 'revolting' to change direction and survive? Is 7 days of good service to Him all that is needed?

Thanks Jeff, yes, just 7 days of changing our attitudes and He says that is all that is needed as He proves His Word and saying He is merciful and wants just repentance.

Does God personally define the 'fullfillment' of His Bible? What prophetic interpretation do we accept?

He absolutely tells us just what He wants us to know, no other interpretation matters, Only His, and we realize that as stated in the thread, everyone else interpretation was wrong, none of us had it completely right, soem small points but not the absolute truth.

Does survival mean acceptance of particular religious culture or can one just 'be good' and live?

Remember, no religion had it right, He now sets the standard and He tells us what He says goes,

Thanks,abr

Everything that it has foretold is going to happen and just as God told Noah, in 7 more days I am going to make it rain, but this time He now speaks to all of us and says in just 7 more days I will wipe the earth clean of all those who have or are revolting/disagree against me.

How would you react then? How would you live your next 7 days? Any, thoughts or comments that you would like to recant? Would you change anything or just wait to see what happens?

Remember think before you post!!!! This is not to cause a heated discussion but rather a pondering moment!!!

Do You Think The Watchtower will Crack Down On Faders?

by choosing life in

jw
friends

i have been wondering for a while if the new koolaid version of the watchtower will try to crack down on faders in some way.

i read about the marking talk of nvrgbk's brother and i wonder if this is a sign of things to come.

i know the elders do not like to have loose ends out there that they can neither control or influence.. what do you think?

avidbiblereader

It may depend also on if a person held a "position of responsibility" how prominent they were in the area and any reported wrong doing within a shorter period of time of their fading.

by Terry in

somebody is always insisting they have an invisible and mysterious source of divine information and selling it like hotcakes and syrup.

but, why are you still buying?

when will you ever learn that this is a scam among many scams.

Here is one thing the Bible revealed to me by God

Proverbs 9:7a

"Whoever corrects a mocker invites insult;

That is my last line in this discussion! We all have our own thoughts and no need to fight, quarrel or argue on the matter. Wish you all the best no matter what you believe

You say humans provided energy, I dont think a human produced the sun or solar system, humans didnt provide oil, natural gas, they may have figured out how to harness it but didnt produce it.

Take a look at the wisdom found in the Bible, look at the pathetic condition of this world and Just as the only source of Truth John 17:17 says in

Jer 8:9

9 The wise men shall be put to shame; they shall be dismayed and taken [captive]. Behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord, and what wisdom and broad, full intelligence is in them?

Just the wisdom alone in Proverbs and Eccl, says more than the volumns produced by such educated men, all the talk show hosts and others who give their "wise" words as mankind continues to suffer.

Just because the Witnesses did us in, is no right to take it out on God, to deny His existence or doubt the Authority of His Word.

Just as Proverbs 19:3 says in the Amplified Trans

3 The foolishness of man subverts his way [ruins his affairs]; then his heart is resentful and frets against the Lord.

talk about exposure!

if there's one person that would grab wt's attention she could.

a representative of the society would get clobbered so the likelyhood is of course nil.of course im just dreaming out loud...lol.

avidbiblereader

Gal 6:7 I think the Catholics should do the exposing, God knows they did enough to them, tit for tat. Lets see several hundred million Catholics on a rampage, sounds like good odds.
