If Jehovah Disapproved Of Polygamy & Concubines Why Did He Bless Those Involved?

by minimus in

abraham, solomon and others got god's seal of approval.

if they were truly sinning, you would think it would've been clearly expressed in the 10 commandments and the law.

instead, god blessed those involved in adultery and fornication..

Jesus washed his disciples feet.

Red herring. They weren't slaves he had paid a merchant for.

The core of Jesus teachings was that ALL are equal, even ones enemies and even ones "slaves" for all our slaves.

Only spiritually.

IF and the key is IF, one beleives that God is Good and God is Love

God was good AND he was love. He was good at killing and hot damn did he love doing it. Jesus beleived in the flood where god killed....well, pretty much everyone, babies included, never said "yeah, that was kind of a dick move by Dad."

The VAST MAJORITY of those laws were man made and attributed to God.

Jesus condemended them for this on a few occasions.

Yeah, just the ones we like were from god. All the bad ones were from man. bad man, bad! A La Carte Christians...

Of course Jesus and Paul both mention that there are no masters and that all are equal and all are servants.

Only spiritually. Paul nor Jesus said they were equal socially. "Fetch me the head of a pig on a platter and wash my feet and then clean the horse stables for your mere subsistance. It's ok, once we get to heaven it's all square!"

In other words, He saw the BIG picture and was not constrained by puny little men and their puny little ... well, you get the picture.

Sylvia....are you saying God was so unconstrained he was unable to give man better guidelines? God could have 1)created man without the raping and whoring urges or... 2)started smiting anyone who broke the rules (had he made rules against those things). Amazing how people fall in line after a good smiting.

Since he did neither, he clearly WAS constrained or didn't give a shit about women.

What hope is there then?

by sayitsnotso in

if jws don't have the truth; if there is no paradise earth; if there is no end of this system; if death is all there is, then what hope do we have to look forward too?.

SINS, you said you accepted the notion that the WTS/JWs is the one true religion.

So we then need to define the parameters by which one would be able to identify that one true religion.

But Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet

And Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil

Let's give the guy a chance here.

Come on..."I would beleive the org, since we they preach the same thing I beleive and look, I have a handy 14 point list handy and will defend them at every chance...."

The troll is strong with this one, but he is not a Jedi yet.

You may not have read the Apologist version of 607 b.c.e.

by Terry in

jerusalem 607 bce vindicatedapostates and other opposers argue that jerusalem was not destroyed in 607 bce, but in 587 bce, and provide what they claim is archaeological evidence to support this.

read this chapter.... 5: servitude to the king of babylon for 70 years?.

read this chapter.... 9: the 70 years for tyre.

I saw that website about 6 months ago. It was so absurd I thought it was satire. It's for reals?

Okay, let's run with that Idea. How would this be different than recieving a Christmas Gift? One could decide to accept or reject it and not be participating in Christmas celebrations. How is that any different than receiving a finnacial instrument as a gift? Does that automatically mean the recipient has the same views as the giver?

Classic JW argument...

Outlaw, do you have a picture of a troll handy?
