  the co got on his hind legs for the public talk and repeated twice "tolerance promotes division".

  then backed it up by saying that if one group march for some right, another group will march for the opposite.. so jws are intolerant and proud of it.

  f@@@k me sideways.. may explain that the baptism tally was 0..

  Jesus said Truly I tell you This Day...

  2. bible

  adam was told not to eat from the tree of knowledge for upon the very day of eating from it, he would die.

  i had someone say that god lied because, adam didn't die that day but, the scriptures say to god a day is as a thousand years so, since adam lived 900+ years after eating , he indeed died within god's view of a day.

  methuselah the oldest to ever live 969 years still within god's set time of a day.

  . You are like a man standing on a street corner shouting at the top of his voice with his fingers in his ears.

  Engage in conversation. This is called a discussion forum for a reason. You might even learn something.

  Oh How Far I've Come

  so this weekend my girlfriend and i will move into our own place together.

  it turns out that “a cord of three strands is stronger” is bullshit and two people in a relationship are perfectly capable of being happy without outside influence.

  what a journey i’ve had since leaving 3 and a half years ago!

  Adam could have put Jehovah In Paradox!

  by JohnTron72 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm going to be the first and throw this out there for others but, from careful study of the scriptures i've found a loophole that even adam who was perfect at the time missed!

  i'm sure everyone has heard the conundrum about ,"can god create a rock he can't lift?

  " and if he can't create one he can't lift, then god cannot do everything" well that doesn't really matter since we know jehovah says himself he cannot lie right?

  JohnTron - Many of us used to believe all the same things you do.

  You need to take a step back and examine your fundamental assumptions. How do you know the bible is a reliable source of information and moral guidance? Why are you convinced that a utopian paradise is a real prospect? What is the evidence that the God of the bible exists?

  You are preaching to people who have really wrestled with these questions. Would you appreciate the chance to discuss them - or would you rather be left alone in your certainties?

  I was drawing a connection between Saudi Arabia and ISIS, which exists - redvip

  What connection are you referring to? Zarqawi was Jordanian. The philosophical roots trace back to the Egyptian Sayyid Qutb and his 1963 book Milestones.

  ISIS was an iteration of al Qaeda in Iraq who were implacable enemies of Saudi Arabia.

  Really Rub? You don't know how to assess the credentials of an author or to check the sources that they use?

  Cynicism is lazy and tedious.

  JohnTron - Are you really taking the Adam and Eve story literally?

  Humans did not descend from a common ancestor 6,000 years ago. How do you account for the many ancient artifacts much older than the biblical Adam. There is a flute made of bone that dates from 42,000 years ago, an ivory figurine called the Venus of Hohle Fels that is 35,000 years old.

  Finding evidence for human activity older than 6,000 years is a regular occurrence for archaeologists.
