Jesus said that the Father makes the sun rise every day for the benefit of even wicked persons.

this came up on another thread i started, but think it desrves it's own, as it is a complete revelation to me.. .

the mild-tempered ones are happy because they will inherit the earth.

jesus, who was mild-tempered and lowly in heart, is the appointed heir of all things and is therefore the principal inheritor of the earth.

you seem like a guy that wants to know truth, at least that's the impression I have of you I could be wrong but I like to think I'm not. Hey just watch that videos I posted starting at part 3 and perhaps 4&5 if you got the time and interest,,I think in time you can shake this negative view of science that has been indoctrinated in you from the Wt which makes one feel that scientist are the bad guys out to mislead us away from god and the bible into a more reasonable understanding of what science and archeology are all about and what they are telling us about things.

I don't have a negative view of science. I love science. Science can teach us a lot about God. I just do not put my faith in the interpretations of the history of the earth that some scientists put forward as the truth. They are just speculations. You want to sell that stuff as TRUTH? I ain't buying.

Scientifically this 6,000 yrs thing is easily proven wrong as the evidence is massive so as to be laughable to any seriously minded person interested in really checking out the facts which I would like to suggest you do, and do it without prejudice and with an open mind unfettered by years of indoctrination you have received from the WT organization.

People of the world are indoctrinated in all sorts of nonsense, propaganda and lies. The errors of the WT are relatively benign compared to the mass of BS the world has been fed.

First off you and our reader recognize this as reasoning straight from the WT. You, I and the readers need to realize the WT is not really interested in giving fact but factoids that support their already drawn conclusions.

How about the use of common sense. You made a baseless statement that Paradise would not be so nice...too many people. What facts or even factoids did you offer? None. Zippo. Just an opinion. Nothing more.

Second these figures are highly distorted as they don't take into account vast deserts and mountainous regions and presupposes god turning every square foot of dry land into a place where humans can live and cultivate for food without much room for anything else.

No. The factoidial figures are not distorted. The earth has so many square miles of inhabitable space. Period. I think most people are smart enough to realize that there are deserts and mountainous regions. But there are people living right now in the most inhospitable regions of the earth. Eskimos live in the frozen north. Bedouins eke out an existence in the desert. And people live in mountainous areas. Even at that, Jehovah's word through the prophets states the the deserts will bloom. So, God intends to have man reclaim the earth and renovate it. That is what the kingdom is all about.

Thirdly they go on the presumption that man has only been on this earth for six thousand years and so the resurrection figure is low balled to your 25 billion figure.

No one knows how many people have lived and died. 25 billion may be a very liberal figure. Besides, the history of civilization only records 5,000 years of human existence. Anything beyond that it pure speculation. I merely used 25 billion as an example to show that your fears of an over populated earth are totally unfounded.

My question is: How do you make the quote from a poster appear in a box?

"And so with all these people being resurrected it will leave about what 10 square feet per person where we gonna get all the food to feed them. It seems like under those conditions it could hardly be described as "Paradise".

The earth is actually under-inhabited presently. Vast portions of the planet are virtually uninhabited and uncultivated while billions of people are crammed into urban areas. The planet has about 47 millions square miles of land, which means there are currently about 5 acres per person for earth's 6 billion. Let's say there will be 25 billion resurrected counting children born into the new world, that would mean, roughly, that each person would have one acre. Of course, people do not live solitary lives. Most people live in family groups. So, if each person has an acre, that would mean a family of five, for example, would have five acres. And, as for food production, the Promised Land was once described by God as the Garden of Eden. When the Israelite spies first went into the land they brought back one bunch of grapes that was so huge it had to be carried by two men on a pole.
