  The Elders help

  by punkofnice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a young jw i used to know (nice person), said within earshot to a non df'd ex jw he knew that his "..parents are up and down in the relationship and the elders(tm) are going to help.".

  the non df'd ex jw said to me that he considered that after the elders(tm) get involved his parents were bound to split up.

  the non df'd ex jw also commented: "what do elders know?

  I often felt under-qualified to deal with some of the questions I was asked as an elder. Pray more, read the bible society's literature more and do more service was never really a satisfactory answer!

  Francis Collins....

  "But I have no difficulty putting that together with what I believe as a Christian because I believe that God had a plan to create creatures with whom he could have fellowship, in whom he could inspire [the] moral law, in whom he could infuse the soul, and who he would give free will as a gift for us to make decisions about our own behavior, a gift which we oftentimes utilize to do the wrong thing.

  I believe God used the mechanism of evolution to achieve that goal. And while that may seem to us who are limited by this axis of time as a very long, drawn-out process, it wasn't long and drawn-out to God. And it wasn't random to God."

  Was the Biblical Canon Directed by God?

  by Chris Tann in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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.

  I would worry about anyone who states the writings of Paul (the homophobic, misogynist, self important bigot)are basis for his or her morality.
