  Taking the Bible "too" literally

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i once heard it said that the only people who care about what the bible says are the village priest and the village atheist.

  it seems to me most believers only care about "god's word" in very general terms and think it's all up to interpitation (religion a la carte ).. it the watchtower especially good at making agnostics and atheists because of their fundamentalism or is this true of many ex-religious groups?.

  Question for the nonbelievers and atheists

  by nykid in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  what specifically made you stop believing in god and the bible?

  was it a steady road of doubts or it was reading one book or one major event that made you realize the bible was not what it's claimed to be?.

  Numbers 5:11-31. How does the society make application of this ridiculous scripture?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if you haven't read it yet, please do so.

  numbers 5:11-31. this is a scripture that is as stupid as the "medieval witch trials"!.

  it is also so degrading to women, and shows how the bible views them as mere property that can be treated as just possessions.. i would love to see how the wt tries to use this passage and make a modern day twist (as they try to do with so many other passages!).

  People Believe Jehovah Is A God Of Love Because He Is A Bully

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  yes the god of the bible has done his share of being a murderous bully(according to the mythology found in the book), his holly motto seems to be through out: "do what i say or i will kill you".

  of coarse cringing christian's because of their fear of the deity will proclaim that all these acts of slaughter that the bible ascribes to god as an act of love, and chime in with approval and superlatives when 1john 4:8* is read.

  and i atribute it mainly to god being a bully in the bible and threatening to kill every one not having faith in him.. 8 l anyone who does not love does not know god, because m god is love.. .

  Interesting query and reply about THE CROSS on Bart Ehrman's blog

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  kleenmaint july 5, 2014. dear bart:.

  i couldnt find a topic on josephus so i hope you see my question.

  in your book did jesus exist on page 59 you quote (antiquities 18.3.3).. both this quotation and the more conservative version that seemed more plausible as his original writing have one very fundamental flaw that you didnt mention.

  "Who are we to question /god/?"

  by LovelyEunie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone had this line said to them when there was questioning involved?

  did it irritate you because when questioning did happen that line was almost always used as a shut down to keep you from going any further and to make you feel guilty in the process?

  because we're just idiotic and feeble minded human beings, so surely we can't possibly begin to question the likes of god.

  2. bible

  ruth 1:16 (nasb) says:.

  but ruth said, do not urge me to leave you or turn back from following you; for where you go, i will go, and where you lodge, i will lodge.

  your people shall be my people, and your god, my god.. .

  What year did the NWT drop John 7:53-8:11? Was it ever in the NWT?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  from biblegateway:.

  jesus forgives a woman taken in adulterythis story, beloved for its revelation of god's mercy toward sinners, is found only in john.

  it was almost certainly not part of john's original gospel.
