ONE! NO EQUAL!

by wannabe in

but he still wasn't finished, to my surprise, and i'd thought he was, with his last comment.

i thought!

Blue Grass

“We do not confess three Gods, but one God in three persons, the “consubstantial Trinity,”

This makes no sense. I'm sure you know Jesus prayed to the Father on multiple occasions while on earth. So basically what you're saying is that there was a single God inside Jesus and the father at the same time while they were talking to each other? And also that when Stephen saw Jesus standing next to the Father that neither the Father nor the Son was God (because that would mean there were two Gods) but one God divided himself between the two of them? I was raised as a Protestant and believed in the trinity for the first 19 years of my life and no matter how much Catholics/Protestants don't like to admit it they most certainly teach there are 3 Gods. They say Jesus is God, the Father is God, and the Holy Spirit is God and you know it.

P.S I find it ironic that the ones defending the trinity have to rely on books and articles written by imperfect men to support there teaching. I wonder why. Is it because it is impossible to explain the trinity using only the Bible and not the aid of articles written by men? And I thought you guys already learned that lesson from the time you spent as JWs. Oh well, I guess some people just continue to make the same mistakes.

If Jesus is Shiloh, then he is not the stone and shepherd, or vice versa is he?

by EndofMysteries in

a little project, unless anyone already has an answer for this.

gen 49:10, many take to be jesus, a few things mentioned, (the sceptre shall not depart from judah until shiloh comes, to him belong the obedience of the peoples.

he washed his garments in wine, his eyes shall be red with wine and his teeth white with milk) .

I having trouble understanding exactly what you are asking. I don't see how both verses can't be reffering to Jesus.

CRISIS OF CONSCIOUS, now in Hellenic language

by JustHuman14 in

at last this great book now in greek language...this book was translated from the english edition by a jw who was in prison due to neutrality back in the 80's.

for many years, many greek jw's and ex jw's had the photocopied translation done in prison by this ex-jw.. this translation was shocking event to the hellenic jw's and many left the org at that time.

now there is an official copy of this great book by brother franz, god bless him....

Blue Grass

Wow! They definitely need an updated Greek version of these books. These books are written in polytonic Greek, which is a form of the Greek language that hasn't been used in Greece since the early 80s.

Suppose we could predict a natural disaster- would that be a good thing?

by moshe in

Blue Grass

Stupidest thread of the year(so far). How the hell could predicting a natural disaster be a bad thing. It sounds like you're saying it would be better for people to die than relocate for a few months or that people would rather see other people die than allow them in their country, city, neighborhood, or home. Your stupid logic reminds me of someone who's high on drugs and starts shooting off at the mouth with random thoughts and questions in a failed attempt to get 'deep' with philosophical thoughts which just makes the person appear like a complete fool in the eyes of anyone who's sober.

For non theists: Stages of evolution, can we develop wings?

by cyberjesus in

if the evolution of life is defined by adapting to a need and life develops as it is needed.

what if decide to live in trees and jumping from them everytime.

does it mean that we could eventually develop wings?

Blue Grass

I can't believe people actually buy this evolution crap. The fact that some animals have wings among other things is proof in itself that the evolution theory is a fraud. Why would any animal need to fly in order to survive. Most animals are hunted by other animals and all animals search for food so why don't they all have wings? Why didn't humans develop fur during the ice age to stay warm? Evolving to adapt to an environment is the the most ridiculous idea ever proposed and there are countless examples in nature of unnecessary "evolving" of animals and the lack of "evolving" from animals which results in them going extinct of becoming in dangered.

Why Jehovah's Witnesses Are Discouraged From Using the Internet

by AllTimeJeff in

at a recent series of circuit assemblies, the governing body put out warnings on what in their view is the latest danger from satan, designed to break the faith of jehovah's witnesses everywhere.. facebook.. yes, thats right, apparantly, the gb is concerned because a lot of people are having "facebook sex".

they are meeting old friends who aren't jehovah's witnesses and getting it on with whomever would willingly sleep with them.

evidentally, the gb would like their flock to believe that when jw's get on facebook and other social networking sites, fornication happens.. now, this is news.

Blue Grass

I won't believe the Governing Body has any problem with facebook until I see it in writing. I see 3 elders, an elder's wife, and all the elder's children from my former congregation on Facebook right now. I refuse to believe all these witnesses are publicly contradicted Jehovah the Faithful and Discreet slave.

check it out though, i'm sure everyone will laugh.

Blue Grass

Man I am getting so sick of seeing this Hitler parody used for everything from sports, politics, entertainment, and now religion. This stoped being funny 4 years ago. There's no originality on YouTube whatsoever.

The Book of Revelation

Blue Grass

Can anyone summarize what this woman concludes in this video, this video is much too long to watch and I have already concluded from my own research that the "Book Of Revelation" is total fiction and that it isn't worth sitting through an hour long video that discusses it.

ASK YOURSELF this question and see what your answer is....

by Terry in

i'm going to ask you a question.

but first, i'm going to set the question up properly.. the original christianity became officially established when the catholic church found constantine as its protector and defender in the mid 4th century.. that church grew mighty, powerful and exerted an influence over vast reaches of the earth.. the church had an absolute fetish for anything of nature deemed "holy" that might be a relic of jesus or his apostles or (as time went by) any saint.. this took the form of conserving the true cross, splinters from the true cross (one in the pope's ring!

) the bones of martyrs, robes, chalices, knuckles, fingers, etc.

Blue Grass

This is kind of a weird question. You are asking why didn't the Catholic Church (people from the 4th century) preserve the original Bible which was written in the 1st century. The simple and most obvious answer is that it was lost/destroyed before any Catholics were born so they couldn't preserve it. All the idolatry you described as being practiced by Catholics was not practiced by real Christians in the first century.
