Books about early Christianity

by EdenOne in

i've just finished reading two (imo) great books:.

"a history of christianity - the first three thousand years", by diarmaid macculloch.

"misquoting jesus", by bart ehrman.

I read a couple of aforementioned books and sadly am coming to the conclusion that Christianity is a false religion.

100 yrs on

friends

100 years on from 1914 and this old eurovision song seems appropriate.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b3xtj5g_sa.

.

If we tale an unbiased look at the gospels we will discover that Jesus promised he would return before THAT generation would pass away and some hearing his words would not taste death before he returns.So Jesus said he was going to return and he didn't so therefore Christianity is a false religion.

Was the Biblical Canon Directed by God?

by Chris Tann in

this is a question a sincere christian may agonize over after learning that some books of the bible were rejected by certain early christian groups,while other books that did not make the canon were accepted.

also,when one realizes that so called inspired writers of the greek scriptures quote from apocrypha,that most christians reject today,one wonders if these writings that include these quotes should even be in the bible.. it is true that when it comes to the christian greek scriptures the canon has been closed for many centuries.

also, these books have been accepted by christians ever since the second,perhaps first,century.

Paul delibratly rips Jewish scriptures out of context to support his false teachings.

Wasn't Armageddon Supposed to Happen in the First Century?

by losthobbit in

to me it's pretty obvious from these verses.... matthew 23:36, matthew 24:34, mark 13:30 and luke 21:32.

...that jesus, talking to his disciples, told them that armageddon would happen in their generation (the first century).

just wondering if everyone else sees it this way, or have i missed something?.

armageddon was the destruction on jerusalem in 70 ad.

by jwfacts in

the 2012 yearbook has released the publisher statistics for the 2011 service year.

a scan of the report can be found at http://www.jwfacts.com/images/2011-publisher-report.pdf and i have started updating the graphs at http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/statistics.php.

as expected, it is following on from similar trends to the last 15 years.

(thanks to augustin for bringing this to our attention in another thread.

the 607 was another wild speculation by the amature bible student-ct russell.he actually said it was 606 but was later corrected by the wts because he wasnt good at math either.
