Hi Kate,
I am putting my mind through another course of mental gymnastics.
Apologies for being vague, but all will be shown when I get around to finishing, which at the rate I am going will only be a few months.
However, if you or anyone has thoughts or useful information on the New Testament Apocrypha, I will be delighted to hear from you.

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me?
I am looking for a scan of: The Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible, edited by George A. Buttrick, Volume 1, page 166.
Thanks,
Doug
because if you just read it then its plain that all should partake of the emblems and go to heaven etc.
they get around that by saying it only applied to those when written who all anointed and then a small group today.
so they take away the bible for the average witness.
Rattigan,
"Revelation is for our day"?
This has been the catchcall of each generation, not just this one.
I suggest that research into the process during the first 600 years of Christianity in regards to Revelation is in order.
Decide whether Revelation (or any other NT book) should be in the Bible. It is only the RC Church that took a vote on which books should constitute the Bible, and that vote took place in the 15th century. All others base their decision on Tradition. Ironic, isn't it?

during the recruiting process, cult members use coercive methods of instilling guilt on those who are weak minded .
thus making them join out of fear.
the watchtower publication use powerful/scary illustrations in their .
Religions convince people they have a problem ("sin") and that the only way to solve it solution is to join them and follow their instructions. The religions point to difficulties that a person is experiencing and the concerns they have, then they paint pictures of the Perfect Life that lies ahead when they join the religion.
The dream can be useful to help some people cope with life.
Money? Those glorious cathedrals in Europe were paid for by people who contributed money ("indulgences") in order to buy their way out.

in the "reasoning" book (pages 34-37), this scripture is used to help define and understand apostasy: .
hebrews 6:4-6 .
"for as regards those who were once enlightened and who have tasted the heavenly free gift and who have become partakers of holy spirit and who have tasted the fine word of god and powers of the coming system of things, but have fallen away, it is impossible to revive them again to repentance, because they nail the son of god to the stake again for themselves and expose him to public shame.
Caroline,
Strictly speaking, the "New Testament" did not appear until almost 400 years after the "Apostolic Times". And the "New Testament" was still open for argument a further few centuries.

Jeff's lover,
First of all, provide yourself with answers to these questions:
1. Should the book of Hebrews be considered as Scripture?
2. Should the book of Hebrews be in the NT?
3. Should the opinions expressed in it be accepted?

i see people mentioning this and have visited the site looking at all posted wt's.......i see no paragraph's discussing 'generations'....does anyone have any direction?.
The anonymous people who wrote that Gospel and put the word "this generation" on to Jesus' lips were meaning their own generation, not some people living at some arbitary time in the future.
They got it wrong, just as Paul got it wrong (1 Thess), as did the writer of Revelation. They all thought the Coming was imminent, during their own time, the time of their generation.

how is it that in a world that is so technological, scientific, fact-based, evidence-based, and so on, that many people are superstitious - even more so, the superstitions of ancient cultures?.
