Waking Up From a 34 Year Slumber.
by alg1052 injuly 11, 2011 will be 34 years since i was baptised as one of jw's.
the sleeping pill i took was in the form of them providing the information that made the bible come alive with the truth and insisting that they go by the bible not adding or taking away from it.
i had negative experiences from local brothers from time to time, however i excused them as part of being imperfect.

Where to go, Lion of the Lamb Ministries, Monte Judah and Michael Rood. These are both Messianic teachers a good place to start. They both can be accessed on line. We started with Michael Rood once you start listening to his teachings you can't get enough. An hour sems like 5 min. They help you to see the real truth, what Jesus really expects of his followers. Born and raised in and listening to them gives you such encouragement makes the Bible come alive and helps you to see how simple it is to understand. Could go in to so much more detail but PLEASE give it a try I guarantee you will not be disapointed.

How did the idea that Jesus' ministry lasted 3 1/2 years develop?
by Doug Mason ini previously asked about the evolution in the application of daniel 9 to the christian's jesus.. naturally, leo generously provided the answer, and i am deeply greatful to her for her help!.
she also pointed out that the "solution" that jesus' ministry lasted 3 1/2 years is circular reasoning.
that is, we know that the prophecy is correct and that jesus' ministry lasted for 3 1/2 years because that is what the prophecy had predicted.

If you read John carefully you will realize that the last passover mentioned He did not celebrate . He was The Passover lamb . The last supper was on the day of preparation , which is the day before .As the Lamb was only one year old . To be the Lamb His ministry was only one year . He came in to Jerusalem on the 10th the same as the lamb that the high priest brought in . Four days of inspection , the same as the lamb . Put to death on the day of preparation the same as the lamb . This is a short explaination . I could give a lot more detail , but hopefully this will get you thinking and look into it more .

Is the LAW still binding?!?!
by EndofMysteries inthis is kinda scary, for those who believe in the bible, first jesus said that he wasn't abolishing just fulfilling the law.
the penalty of sin is death, so he covers that.
many take that as most things are okay then.

Rom 8:1 There is, then, now no condemnation to those who are in Messiah ?????, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
Rom 7:14 For we know that the Torah is Spiritual, but I am fleshly,
sold under sin.
Rom 8:2 For the Torah of the Spirit of the life in Messiah ????? has set me free from the law of sin and of death.
Rom 7:14 For we know that the Torah is Spiritual, but I am
fleshly, sold under sin.
Rom 8:3 For the Torah being powerless, in that it was weak through the flesh, Elohim, having His own Son in the likeness of flesh of sin, and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,
Rom 8:3 For the Torah ........, condemned sin in the flesh,
Rom 3:20 Therefore by works of Torah no flesh shall be declared right
before Him, for by the Torah is the knowledge of sin.1 Footnote:
1Ex. 20:20, Rom. 4:15, Rom. 7:7.
Rom 7:7 What, then, shall we say? Is the Torah sin? Let it not be! However, I
did not know sin except through the Torah. For also the
covetousness I knew not if the Torah had not said, “You shall not
covet.”
Rom 7:25 Thanks to Elohim, through ????? Messiah our Master! So then, with
the mind I myself truly serve the Torah of Elohim, but with the
flesh the law of sin.
Rom 8:4 so that the righteousness of the Torah should be completed in us who do not walk according to the flesh (sin) but according to the Spirit (Torah). -

Matthew 5:17-18 says (NWT) " Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets . I came , not to destroy , but to fulfill ; for truly I say to you that sooner would heaven and earth pass away than for one smallest letter or particle of a letter to pass away from the Law by any means and not all things take place . "
Has all the Phophets been fulfilled ? No think of Isaiah , Zechariah , Jeremiah , all has not been fulfilled in these books yet . All the feasts of Jehovah have not seen fulfillment yet . Therefore the Law still stands . Jesus never broke the Law of Jehovah , He only broke the law of the scribes and pharasees . The things that they added to the Law . Showing that man made laws and rules mean nothing .

Anyone here on their own found a bible most true to original language?
by EndofMysteries inokay, let alone which scrolls it was translated from, in reading a hebrew scriptures old testament interlinear, i am not too happy.
it shows the hebrew word, the english translation, then the phrase in it's bible.
genesis 5:2 - he created them male and female, and blessed them and called them adam in the day they were created.

by purplesofa ini was raised catholic.. the immaculate conception of christ defied all logic to me, even as a child.
it seems to me, christianity has borrowed something from the pagans.. .
i am reading god against the gods by johnathan kirsh~the history of the war between monotheism and polytheism.

Actually Mary wac a desendant of David's . Read Matt 1:17 notice it says "All the generations then , from Abraham until David were fourteen generations , and from David until the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations , and from the deportation to Babylon until the Christ fourteen generations . " Now count them , the last is only 13 . Why? A translation mistake . vs 16 Joesph the husband of Mary , It should read Joesph father of Mary . There is only one accent point different between father and husband . They have found ancient Aramaic scripts that show this . So that makes vs 17 correct . Also to be of the King linage it had to go through David then Solomon . Matthew does . Luke 3 goes through Nathan another son of David's So Joesph was a decendant of Davids , but not the right linage . With a little research the "GB" should be able to get it right . But wait they are to busy talking directly with their god .
