  The Bible is NOT Error-Free

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for many christians, the bible is viewed as the 100% error-free, perfect book straight from god, where every single word was carefully chosen by god for a reason.

  but, usually, when you have a discussion on the topic, these christians will end up saying that only the original copies written directly from the hands of the prophets and apostles were error-free, and all manuscript copies since then are subject to copyist mistakes and other errors.. since zero original copies are in existence, how do we know the originals were error-free?

  why should we think the originals should be error-free to begin with?

  Snare&Racket,

  I'm not 100% sure, but perhaps Galatians 3:28, which says all males and females are equal, all races are equal, and all social/financial statuses are equal.

  Reasoning on the New "1900 Years" JW Theology (from David Splane)

  inspired by the three recent threads on david splane's new video declaring, among other things, that there was no faithful slave for 1900 years, and there may not have even been any genuine anointed ones during those years, i decided to make this post.. here are the three previous threads on this topic:.

  TheWonderOfYou,

  Yeah, it's very interesting how they've gone from what they used to say: That Russell and Rutherford were **restoring** The Faithful Slave that existed in the Apostles' time, to what they're saying now: That the Faithful Slave is something new that never existed before 1919.

  If the rules of logic aren't man-made, then what invented logic?

  Isn't the whole idea or rule of "burden of proof" equally as much man-made as atheists claim the Bible is?

  Why should I follow YOUR man-made rules instead of any other man-made rules?

  Phizzy,

  Are you honestly suggesting that the Golden Rule and Good Samaritan and Prodigal Son morality has no place in the 21st Century?

  Or the total equality of Galatians 3:28?

  Updated Chronological Timeline of the Great Tribulation -- after the New Light from July Watchtower

  the july 15, 2015 study watchtower article entitled "your deliverance is getting near", along with the jw broadcasting video entitled "gerrit losch: fortified by "the prophetic word," and chapter 21 of the god's kingdom rules!

  book presented a large amount of new light or clarified understanding of the events of the great tribulation.. here i am presenting it in chronological order -- this is the governing body's updated chronological order of events for the time right before the great tribulation through armageddon:.

  the final sealing of the anointed occurs just prior to the outbreak of the tribulation.

  Watchtower Simplified Study Edition, March 2015, Page 22:

  13 Just before the great tribulation, God will give his final approval to the hardworking anointed ones who are still on earth at that time. This is their final sealing. (Revelation 7:1-3)

  ----------

  Watchtower Study Edition, March 2015, Page 15:

  11 So, then, before the great tribulation starts, all the faithful anointed on earth will have received their final sealing. (Rev. 7:1-4) From then on, their calling is sure. But think about the years before the tribulation begins. What would happen to anointed ones who failed to remain watchful, who lost their integrity? They would lose their heavenly reward. Obviously, they would receive no final sealing prior to the start of the tribulation. By that time, other faithful ones would be anointed. When the tribulation starts, the foolish ones might be shocked to see the destruction of Babylon the Great. It may be only at that point that they realize that they are not ready for the arrival of the Bridegroom. At that late hour, if they in desperation ask for help, what would happen? Jesus’ parable gives us the grim answer. The discreet virgins refused to give up their oil for the sake of the foolish, telling them to go instead to the sellers of oil. Remember, though, it was “in the middle of the night.” Would they be able to find sellers of oil at that hour? No. It would simply be too late.

  paul basically admitted in roman's 2 that if you're not a christian but you follow your conscience and the 'law of your heart' then you are fine!.

  screw organised religion.

  it's bogus.

  Notsurewheretogo,

  Point 6 comes from the "Gerrit Lösch: Fortified by "the Prophetic Word" JW Broadcasting Video that was released in April, 2015. Here is the link:

  http://tv.jw.org/#video/VODStudio/pub-jwban_201503_1_VIDEO

  He said that because he was comparing it to the 4-year period from 66 A.D. to 70 A.D. when the Temple was destroyed.

  Point 7 comes from paragraphs 5 and 6 of the July 2015 Study Watchtower article entitled "Your Deliverance is Getting Near!" (Compare the Simplified Edition also).

  Combine those statements with the other recent statements from the God's Kingdom Book and other Watchtower issues, that the judgment of the Sheep and Goats happens at the END of the Tribulation and is based on how a person treats the anointed while the anointed are on earth.
