  I'm a new study, unsure a little uncertain. Help??

  by Meow921 in

  i recently started doing some studying of jehovahs witnesses, and i find most everything so logical, and the people involved have been so nice to me.

  i'm 30, and currently am not associated with any denomination.. what i don't understand is how the word "cross" got translated into the bible if it's not right.

  aren't we supposed to believe the bible?.

  Everyone here seems to be saying that it does not matter whether Jesus died on a cross or a stake, but what matters is that He died;
  That just is not true, I am afraid, for you cannot change even one word of scripture without the permission of the king. The Lord commands us not to add to or take away from scripture in any way.

  I forgot to mention one thing in my last post.

  In Exodus 12:7 Moses commands the people to put lamb's blood on the top and sides of their doorways. This about that; God had a good reason for commanding this, and it is not just to mark out the houses of the Hebrews apart from the Egyptians. The blood of the LAMB on the top and sides of the door is symbolic of JESUS, His bloody head, and bleeding hands.....STRETCHED OUT TO THE SIDES as on the cross.

  So even the OT speaks of His crucifixion on the CROSS, not a stake.

  Peace, blessings and the sweetest love to all of you.

  Jesus WAS crucified on a cross, and not a stake. The Translation is correct and it is important that the whole truth be recognised, AND TAUGHT CORRECTLY. For it is an offense to God to change even one word of the bible.

  You will find that the JWs have many odd beliefs that do not jive with true scripture. Be wary.

  Even nonbiblical historical records show that hanging on a CROSS what the common form of execution. NO STAKES, beloved one.

  Hey, you know, you can write to me any time if you have any questions. I would love to help you study.

  Peace to you.

  I am not a JW and never was, but I can tell you this; in your first post you re asking a lot of questions that are of no importance and do not affect the facts in any way.

  As for the last two questions, baptisms were done in the Jordan, and quite clearly those 3000 that were saved that day did not all have to fit in the upper room of that house, or even be in that house.

  most of the stuff posted here is negative, hateful, and blasphemous against god.

  even if many of you are right in saying that the jws are wrong on many and important issues, that does not make you right.

  so unless you are convinced that there is no biblical god you are facing serious trouble when you die or if the lord comes during your lifetime.

  Remember that Jehovah, YHWH, JAH, or whatever you choose to call Him is GOD, who is the same, past, present and future.
  You speak of a more up-to-date concept of God....but what would your ideas be? A Father who tolerates sin and blasphemy?

  Even EARTHLY dads that are worth their salt have no tolerance for hatred and wickedness in their sons and daughters though they love them very much.

  God's word does NOT change to suit our pathetic ideals.

  Contradiction?????

  by Yerusalyim in

  on page 132 of the knowledge book it says: who are the "superior authorities"?

  paaul's words in succeeding verses show that they are human governmental authorities.

  (romans 13:1-7; titus 3:1) jehovah did not originateman's governmental authorities, but they exist by his permission.

  Wisdom Personified

  by ozziepost in

  2. bible

  the next time a householder says to you: everyone has his own interpretation of the bible, how will you respond?

  perhaps you will use the suggestion from the reasoning book (page 65) you might reply: and obviously not all of them are right.

  you might add: twisting the scriptures to fit our own ideas can result in lasting harm .

  I believe Wisdom is one of the names of Jesus; but notice however, that Wisdom in the proverbs is referred to in the feminine.

  You have to learn how to love, and forgive, all of you, no matter what sins have been committed against you. It is hard, even I can see that, tho I have never had any association with the JWs.
  But biting back is not what God wanted of us. Calling a person names just because they started it is hardly showing love.

  I LOVE all of you, no matter what.

  Remember, too, that Jesus said BLESS those who curse you; DO GOOD to those that hate you....

  All of you, so very often I see people return abuse for abuse, that is just exactly what God hates to see! LOVE each other, and FORGIVE!

  I LOVE all of you!

  The OT God and NT God are THE SAME GOD. Be careful here, you are treading the fine line of blasphemy against God, for which you can never be forgiven. I love you and do not want to see that happen to you.
