Why do the Churches teach Adam was created perfect?

by acolytes in

this is not a bible teaching.

the bible says the opposite.. adam was created physically imperfect or he wouldnt have needed to be put out the garden so as not to be able to eat from the tree of life-.

adam was created morally imperfect or he wouldnt have failed his first test.

I can tell you what does the Orhodox Church believes about this matter. Most of the Protestand religions in the West ignore many facts regarding Christian history and specially the Eastern Orthodox Church.

In the Hebrew text and the translation of the Greek text, there is a simple meaning regarding Adam. We read that it 'was good'. In the Hellenic text says 'λ?αν καλ??that literally mean very good...

So there is a big mistake to translate very good to PERFECT, τ?λειος...Ιn the Orthodox Theology there is no such a thing. According to the Early Church Fathers, Adam was not created perfect, like most of the Protestand Churches claim.

He was created not perfect and he would have the chance to become perfect by actions of holyness. And that was God's plan for humans to reach Holyness and Union with God. So with sin Adam missed the opportunity to reach perfection. That is why Jesus came to open again that road for humans that leads to perfection and Union with God

Well another FDS speculation regarding the signs of the end is gone down the drain!!!

By the way I would like to remind the 1986 YEAR OF PEACE...It was a lot of anxiety amongst JW's at that time that this was the sign for the start of the Great Tribulation. Also can you recall the Awake magazine with a photo of various religious leaders praying for 1986 to be year of peace!!!

It seems that FDS are really in a deep shit after all those years. They quietly drop the peace and security thing since NOTHING of what they have proclaimed came true!!!

Also the story of the prophecy of the United Nations: According to WT the successor of the Leaque of the Nations UN, would last a short period of time. Well here is my calculation:

Leaque of the Nations from 1920(end of the Great War)-1939(start of the World War II) Laster only 19 years

United Nations from 1945(end of WWII)-untill today...so we got 65 YEARS AND STILL GOING...

So how can they claim that according to Revelation, the Beast(UN) will only last a SHORT beriod of time, comparing that the fact Leaque of the Nations that came back from the abyss as UN and within a short of period of time will destroyed?...if Leaque of the Nations had a life span of 19 years, then 65 years for UN, is a LONG TIME....

What If The Beatles Never Broke Up....

by Tuesday in

jw
friends

hey folks, someone sent me this link by this writer who claims to have traveled to an alternate dimension where the beatles never broke up.

he posted the whole album to download.. i doubt the story obviously but since there's alot of beatles fans on the board i figured i'd share it with all of you.

at the very least it's a pretty good sound-alike band.. http://www.thebeatlesneverbrokeup.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&itemid=53.

I'm one of the greatest Beatle funs in this board along with Mr. Flipper!!!

But I'll stick to this dimension!!! Personally I prefer the fact they broke up and keep it that way...they created a legend and this is what I like to have..

"Unconditional" song by Peter Andre - former JW

by Gayle in

http://au.greekreporter.com/2009/11/10/pete-andre-going-solo/.

unconditional - beautiful song!

noteworthy, it is heart-warming to see he understands unconditional love now, as having been raised a jehovahs witness unconditional love is never taught in the jw world.

I didn't know that Peter Andre was former JW...I know he is Greek Cypriot but never knew he was former JW...

Other Sheep will start taking the emblems.

by hamsterbait in

was at the kingdumb hell yesterday after a gap.. paragraph 11 planted the seed in the sheeples' heads for this.. remember last weeks study, where martha was quoted as saying: "i know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.

" (jo 11: 24) the term "last day" was explained as applying to the millennium, in the same way as "judgment day" for those receiving an earthly resurrection.. now for paragraph 11 - i noticed some bemused faces, as usually john 6 is avoided in articles discussing earthly resurrection:.

" "the bread that i shall give is my flesh," he said.

Russel believed that the great multitude are second class heaven citizens...so why don't they go back to the original teaching? They have done it may times...sheep and goats for istance, heavenly door etc etc
