  Was Jesus' sacrifice really necessary? Or even a sacrifice at all?

  by AiAi in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  does it make sense that after adam ate of the fruit god would condemn all of mankind until jesus sacrificed himself?

  does 1 perfect person's sin really equal 1 perfect person's sacrifice plus billions of imperfect peoples death and suffering?.

  jesus' sacrifice to save mankind really was not a sacrifice at all if he knew he would be raised up after 3 days.. .

  AiAi - that thing about no sacrifice for Eve alwas bothered me too, I couldn't understand how the death of 1 pefect man equals the death of two perfect people. Never got a decent answer.

  Yes, just not built on fault lines. I would be more than happy to live near a nuclear power plant.

  WT 15th Feb 2011;Treatment of DF'ed/DA'ed Family Members

  by jookbeard in

  2. beliefs

  is this a newer hard line stance or has it been similar for the last couple of years?

  there clearly must be a problem in this area in regards to nations that appear to have far stronger family units not adhering to the previous warnings, the wt article definitely has a barf alert comparing jeehobah's feelings when the angels rebelled in heaven!

  well how the hell would they have know his feelings?.

  Seems like Satan wasn't disfellowshiped. God talked to him in Job, and Jesus talked to him on earth.

  So why are there earthquakes?

  by trevorbv in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  they cant be an accident, because everything god does is intended.. so, if god created everything perfect, there shouldn't be any disasters: earthquakes, tsunamis etc.

  so either he didn't create them perfectly, because he couldnt therefore, he lacks some qualities: all-powerful, all-wise or because he didnt want to, therefore being malevolent (he knew that there will be life on earth, and those disasters could harm this life).

  either way it doesnt look good for him.

  One of the tectonic plates is the king of the north, and the other is the king of the south; and they are engaged in a pushing. It's in the Bible. Honest.

  LOL. That's the best explanation I've seen. I'm going with that one.

  The killer question alwas seems to be 'do you believe the WTS is god's spirit directed organisation'?

  What if someone was to say something like 'I have lost my faith in god and the bible'?

  Is loss of faith a judicial matter?

  Jesus between age 12 and 30. . .

  by Mad Sweeney in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm thinking he traveled east and learned the wisdom of the orient.

  no way the watchtower line about him being a carpenter's assistant all that time is possibly true.

  he was way too learned about the ways of people to not have been educated and his ideas seem very eastern to me.. anyone got any good books, articles, blogs, websites on the topic?.

  There's a church in Glastonbury, South West England that legend has it was founded by Jesus when he accompanied his Uncle Joseph of Arithemea to trade tin.

  so i have good reason there's a possibility that the convention may have so nu-lite on daniel prophecy.

  coming from the geniuses that brought us the overlapping generation, one can only speculate what nuttiness they will come up with next..

  Maybe noo insight into who constitute the toenails of the image? Its getting a bit crowded in the iron legs with Rome, Britain and America.

  Also current lite doesnt allow for any more world powers, so maybe they'll adopt a resolution to stop China and India's economic growth.
