  Believer's how long will you allow this blasphemy?

  by dawg in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as all of you know, i do not believe the bible's divine... but if i did, i find that much of what the society says is outright blasphemy.

  notice this insert from the april 15th, wt... you can look it up for yourselves as i'm certain i'm not taking this out of context.

  if you believe the bible is the word of god (i find it hard to believe that anyone can take it literal) but if you do, then what about the souls of your family still in?

  I am the Faithful and Discreet Slave

  when i first attended the congregation of jehovahs witnesses i never even thought about whom or what was the faithful and discreet slave.

  i do not believe that this information is ever taught to the public directly.

  i think you have to be baptised or start attending the same meetings as those that are baptised.. anyway what made all of you adapt the teaching of the faithful and discreet slave (class or whatever)?

  Hey, I'm no Einstein But......."The New Jerusalem"

  the new jerusalem .

  "the jewish people to whom i gladly belong and with whose mentality i have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people.

  as far as my experience goes, they are also no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power.

  The New Jerusalem

  "the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are also no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them."
  
  "there is some kind of intelligence working its way through nature. But it is certainly not a conventional Christian or Judaic religious view."
  
  Albert Einstein

  ___________________________________________________________
  
  A person well rocognized for his intellect apparently believed that there did exist a form of intellect working it's way through nature. Nature as we know it is everything natural, or the environment that we live in.
  
  However the thought of a chosen group of people eluded him, as he was not able to grasp the meaning of God choosing a particular race or national group. The origin of God's chosen people stems from the friendship that God made with his follower Abraham. Abraham was a faithful follower of God and became God's friend. Therefore God chose Abraham in order to set the example for all other peoples, tongues, and national groups to follow. God then established a covenant, or promise so to speak, with Abraham.

  There has been much dispute between those residing in the holy land as to whom the promises belong to. Many believe the promises came through Isaac and many believe through Ishmael. Whatever the case and which ever beliefs you choose to follow, one thing for certain; God will keep His promises that He made to all of His creations. He did not create all life to suffer as we do. There is a period of time that is allowed for humans, and also the spirits in the heavens to live with free will.

  All creations have the freedom to do as they please for a period of time, and we have to rely upon the one that created us that His ways are wise and all knowing. There is a reason He allowed us an opportunity to choose for ourselves which path to follow. He promised everlasting life to all that obey His Laws. His Laws are loving and righteous as they prevent us all from causing harm to ourselves and to one another.

  Albert Einstein is a human being with human thoughts, even if his thoughts were considered to be of a great nature. However, take a moment to reflect on the Intelligence that it takes to create the brain that so many of us take for granted. I for one choose to listen to the originator of all life, and will never obey man above God. This will be throughout my entire existence upon this earth which will be forever, I will never die. That is my faith and my form of belief, and I respect all other beliefs as well never condemning or bringing my own judgment upon anyone.

  I will leave it up to God to reveal all truth at His proper time. The thought of people warring against one another in dispute of one anothers beliefs is difficult for me to comprehend. We are taught not to kill, and if people would have chosen to obide by this law, there would have never been so much disruption upon our planet.

  I for one look forward to the future in awe, constantly awaiting the many promises to be fulfilled in my lifetime, not in the far distant future. For the many that believe the way I do, raise your heads up high our deliverance is here.

  The Word

  by R.Crusoe in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  'in the beginning was the word.........'.

  i ask myself if i understand what 'word' means in such a context?.

  if i stand with a female in a room the silent stillness can become enchanting.. the same in a wood or anywhere in nature.. the word is in my being and temporarilly encased within my form (body) until this form dissolves and it moves onward.. the word is more than speech and essentially is not speech.

  And the Word was God

  And the Light was God

  Metaphors, Personification, Similies etc. etc

  In like manner, in parallel to, so on so forth.

  Jesus did not exist until he was born from the womb of Mary, true or false?

  This is new light as a witness to the Light not directly from the Light.

  Through the Word of God all things came into existance. God put forth Words in the beginning in Law and it came to be.......

  Is Death ever Spiritual and not Physical?

  by jwblog in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i ask this one question, what is the meaning of the first death and the second death as spoken of in revelations?

  if jesus kills off those in the heavens with a two edged sword then why is it satan still lives for one thousand years during the reign of jesus christ?

  what does it mean to be "born again"?

  Ok so the questions remains, does Jesus Christ "The Savior" wage war against humans upon his return and literally put all wicked to death? Or is everyone given a second chance to earn eternal life?

  Interesting statement. Technically, what happens, is that the GB fails in their role as providing food at the proper time and the prodigal son messiah comes up and provides that food. So the true FDS is Christ himself, who indeed, receives all responsibility for God's belongings.

  It is true that Jesus Christ is the faithful and true witness and also referred to himself as a slave. As in the slave is not greater than the master. But how can he find himself doing what he was instructed to do when he himself arrives? Sorry does not make sense.

  are men better listeners, or women?

  Wings, I am not sure whether you are male or female. Wings can go both ways :)

  I am male if you have not gathered that thus far. I prefer listening to females because for the most part I already know what males are like. I truly love spiritual men and not so much those called "worldy" men. Worldly men are simple minded and generally all have the same thought, women :)

  I met a female this past year that follows the "pagan" belief system, She calls herself eclectic (sp) pagan as she learns from all religions. Her way of thinking is immense and her faith is strong. I have always thought I could be happy with any female that I would end up with in the "new world" until I met her. She provokes my thoughts, she is strong in her person not so easily swayable. Her and I grew to liking each other, and it is because we are evenly yoked. We love Gods creation, love law and order, and want to fix all the bad in the world.

  I look forward to learning more about her and see her grow in spiritual maturity. I guess this is what love is all about. But even more it takes two good listeners to come to a form of understanding that brings Love, Peace, and Happiness.......the life that God promises to all that seek it.....have a good night.

  I believe that only God can answer this question. I have one solid form of evidence to prove that at one point man was a better listener. Jesus Christ is the only logical answer when he was raised to maturity.

  Other than that a case by case comparison has to provide an answer to this question. I am waiting for the answer from the poster. Or did I overlook it? :)

  Jesus Christ lived under law, satan chose to live without law. Which government is better, one who condemns drunkness on the streets or one who allows it?

  Now back to the topic, does Jesus Christ destroy wicked humans upon his return or are they all forgiven once repentant?
