  God (of course), knew about the fall of mankind and allowed it. Just as he knew about the fall of angels and allowed it. Free will AND, to bring a greater good from it. What the greater good is? I don’t know, but I do have faith that my master is good.ttwsyf

  God cannot lie

  by psyco in

  2. bible

  the bible does not say that god does not want to lie, but that he cannot lie or it is impossible for god to lie.

  .

  so, if god cannot lie, for what purpose and why did he create creatures (satan, demons, humans) who can lie?.

  And Satan, who was a murderer from the beginning, is called the father of lies. God hates lies and lying….even for the “TRUTH”tm.

  God did not lie, but those of us with free will, (angels and humanity), can chose to lie…and we do

  Feels so right. God bless you all. 🙏🎄🌺

  Bold, brave and gutsy move that should inspire others to reject all nonsense in every way, shape and form.

  Jehovah's Witnesses Sinner's Prayer

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've noted before certain similarities between jws and independent fundamentalist baptists, such as door to door work.

  the ifbs call it "soul winning".

  the goal is usually to give a quick tour of a few bible verses, get the householder to "repeat after me" a formulaic prayer confessing faith in jesus.

  Bible is explicit in citing works and faith with the understanding that faith illicits works that when pleasing to God produces good fruits.

  No fruits? Then the works were not pleasing to God. Pretty easy to see if your prayers and works are efficacious. Just saying, cause it’s true.

  To be saved from your sins takes a lot more than saying a 'sinners prayer' or inviting Jesus into your heart or any other option where the sinner does not have to change their behavior.

  Teaching that you are saved through an acceptance of a faith or a prayer without changing your behavior will not save you.

  Jesus said that many would say 'Lord, Lord' and HE said 'away from me, I never knew you'

  HE wants us to cloth the naked, feed the hungry, teach the ignorant, tend to the sick and elderly and basically live the teaching of 'love thy neighbor'

  If you think that you're saved by being a Christian without acting like one, you're in for a rude awakening.

  just saying

  if you once were fully pimi and truly believed jw doctrine to the core like i once did, when you come to the reality that it is not the truth at all it can be extremely devastating.. i think only other ex jws could ever understand.

  i wasted my entire life i thought the real life was yet to come to wasted the best years knocking on doors.

  now i’m so angry.. i can understand why so many top themselves when they realise it was all lies..

  i have a question about this article.. https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/jw-education-school/.

  higher education can lead to moral and spiritual dangers.

  a bible proverb says: "the shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself.

  TTWSYF : Isn’t it bizarre that an organization that boastfully prides itself on “true” scriptural interpretation would look suspiciously at theological studies?

  Not at all. Theological studies often includes source criticism, form criticism, redaction criticism, tradition criticism and/or canonical criticism, all of which discount inspiration of the scriptures. They say there are no atheists in foxholes. It is truer to say there are no believers in theological colleges.

  Earnest, criticism is the beginning of solid reasoning. Criticism is a good thing. It makes you think and reason. Then you make decisions based on solid reasoning. It’s not to be feared, it’s to help us all grow in knowledge and faith. The folks that I’ve met that have studied (seriously, not WT and Awake) are into their studies to become closer to the Lord. You shouldn’t be afraid of legitimate criticism.

  Yes, you would learn how to come to conclusions using reason according to historical evidence (that you corroborate independently).

  You’d learn that you need more than a Greek to English dictionary for scriptural interpretation.
