if Jesus talked about the flood of Noah's day, which is obviously just a myth, then Jesus himself is obviously just a myth
This is a complete non sequitur.
i was doing some browsing today on http://watchtowerletters.com and discovered a very thought provoking point.
the fact is that the flood of noah's day does not stand up to scientific scrutiny or common sense.
this becomes all the more apparent when considering an ancient story like the epic of gilgamesh.
if Jesus talked about the flood of Noah's day, which is obviously just a myth, then Jesus himself is obviously just a myth
This is a complete non sequitur.
according to mathew 6:9 jesus instructed his followers in, vs. 9 " you must pray, then this way "our father in the heavens,let your name be sanctified ..... which rank & file jehovah`s witnesses have been led to believe for the past 140 or so years is to make a personal name of god namely jehovah known to all of the world ,because as they have so loudly professed christendom has kept that name away from the general public.. not true ,raymundus martinus a spanish catholic monk of the 13th-14th century first coined that name for god and it has been used in and on churches throughout christendom in the world ever since.. true christendoms emphasis has been on witnessing about jesus christ which is what the new testament is all about,not jehovah god, but jesus christ .
phillipians 2 :9-11. in the new testament ,( cgs ) jesus christ is never recorded as saying the personal name of god ever.. " " none of the apostles are ever recorded as saying the personal name of god ever.. " " none of his disciples are ever recorded as saying the personal name of god ever.. the new testament ,christian greek scriptures are all about bearing witness about jesus christ and after his time of bringing back people under his kingdom will he turn then it back over to his father, a thousand years when his rule is finished.. that is the message of the"kingdom interlinear of the christian greek scriptures" published by the wtb&ts ,says..
Good points. Jesus took a stand against misguided religious traditions and the gospels record the resulting confrontations. Where is the record of the outrage Jesus caused by using the divine name?
If Jesus used the name in 1st century Palestine public anger would be inevitable. So either the gospel writers forgot to mention such a significant issue, or he never used it.
many states do not even allow you to hold your phone if you are driving.
do you think you should be fined hundreds of dollars for touching your phone while driving?
?.
the ones who are stupid about when they talk on the phone be the overwhelming majority of the ones who get into accidents.
And take others with them.

I don't know anybody (yet) who has been hit by somebody talking on their phone.
Studies show otherwise. Among all the common distractions you might experience in the car using a phone is uniquely dangerous. The research is easy to find online. The death toll speaks for itself. There was a time people boasted that drinking and driving might be a problem for others but not for them.
I could not count how many near misses I have seen caused by drivers chatting on the phone.
.........and then racially abuses its white mother.
judge lets him walk free!.

He has two previous convictions for hate crimes against white females.
If he is mentally ill he needs to be locked up in secure hospital for the public's protection. Are we going to wait until he knifes somebody?
I don't know if the judge would have aced differently if it was a white man attacking an Asian baby but I know the media outcry would be deafening.
The bloody fool doesn’t seem to realise he’s Caucasian anyway - Diog
Eh?

lemat223 - Congratulations on being wrong so many times in one post.
It is the United Kingdom not 'England'.
It is not illegal to sell individual kitchen knives in the UK.
It is not illegal to eat and drive in the UK.
The UK has a Conservative government - it is not a 'socialist crap hole'. It has not had a Socialist government since the early '80s. You need a better source of foreign news (or you could just ask).
Driving is by a long way the most dangerous thing most of us do regularly. Anything that distracts the driver increases the risk. Controlled experiments show that, for reasons deeply rooted in human psychology, talking on the phone massively increases driving risk. It's entirely reasonable that governments legislate to reduce the number of unnecessary road deaths.
In the UK there is an offence of 'not being in proper control of a motor vehicle' that police have the discretion to use if a driver is distracted by anything that significantly affects his driving - food/shaving/makeup/books/sat nav/pretty girls etc. The mobile phone ban is a special case of this pre-existing law.

The evidence that talking on a mobile while driving massively increases risk. Two offences in UK equals a driving ban although hands-free Bluetooth devices are legal.
I sat with a young lad as he died a few years ago when he lost control of his car while using a mobile. His girlfriend died a few days later.
The most commonly used word on insurance claim forms is "suddenly". What they really mean is "I wasn't paying attention when...".
Put you phone away, get two hands on the wheel, and focus on driving. Everything else can wait.
the jehovah's witnesses believe that only the father is lord god, however by searching the scriptures we can identify that there are more than one person in the godhead, and the lord jesus as well as the holy spirit are lord.. for those who are interested in learning, feel free to watch this new video..
You were expecting the description of a grotesque 3 headed monster God like pastor Russell taught?
No not at all. I was an evangelical xtian so I know how misguided the WT description of the trinity is. Your explanation of the personification of god's love/word/hands seems very ambiguous as a description of the trinity.
I will get back to you.
alyssa milano is saying that women have to go on a sex strike to take control of their bodies.
what do you think about this?.
The retards are the ones who want to control what a women should do with their bodies.
Who is doing that?
