  Is the Gospel of Matthew a clever fake ?

  by wobble in

  the answer to the above question hinges on when the gospel was actually written.

  many scholars feel it was written some time after the destruction of the temple in 70 c.e.

  if this is so, it is a clever fake, pretending to have been written earlier by an eye-witness to the events, or someone close to an eye-witness.

  If they net 5$ for each of those 40,000 copies thats 200,000 for sitting on their hiny.

  Thats 40,ooo a year for 5 years.

  During those 5 years they could right 5 more books about things they dont know much about.

  Its called making a living without busting a sweat.

  You really don't know much about books, research, writing or sales, do you?

  A lot of people that spend their younger years as atheist recant and become believers at the end

  and a lot that dont become believers committ suicide because of the darkness.

  I learned a long time ago in the trenches, that belief and faith is a suicide prevention program.

  And suicide is a waste of a brain.

  Oh, THAT old myth. Well, I'm convinced now.

  what must be the case if christianity is true?.

  that the highest created being, known as satan or the devil, led an angelic rebellion against an omnipotent omniscient omnibenelovent omnipresent god, and expected to win--which makes satan out to be pure evil and dumber than a box of rocks.. .

  What Must Be the Case if Christianity is True, is that God has far more patience on the objects of his wrath than I would have.

  I know. He was so loving and patient to condemn them to death, then make all their kids have incestuous sex to keep the population going, then let his OTHER kids materialize and terrorize and generally trash the place, then kill EVERYONE, then when they finall got together and started building something, to scatter them to the wind with confusing laguages and then choose a people and, depending on whether or not it was god's time of the month, to slaughter the shit out of them or anyone had had something he wanted his favorite kids to have.

  Such patience.

  Why wouldn't Satan rebel? he has free will like everyone else.

  Free will:

  Q:Would you like pastrami or turkey? Pastramiis $2 more.

  A: I'll take the pastrami and here's the $2 more.

  Not free will:

  God: I would like for you to obey me.

  Man: I would rather not since I have free will.

  God: Too bad, sucka, that free will just got you and all of your descendants killed and now I have to kill MY son to make up for what you did.

  my wife received an email from her friend, a jw.

  i suppose it is just a small thing but it highlights one of the things that really pisses me off about the jw religion.. after talking about some situation she comments:.

  "i know it's always hard work in this system, totally rubbish.

  Right, because cleaning up billions of dead, faming for our food and trying not to get bored for the next billion years will be cake.

  I have CUT and PASTE the summary of your article here, and below it, will quote a few scriptures. I ask, what makes you any different, then the GB based on your statements here?

  The same thing that makes YOU different with your finding of hidden gems and and research about things with twenty meanings and zero context and stringing together ten things that had zero relationship to each other.

  In a word, nothing.

  did anyone else notice that in the watchtower its bringing out jesus is the mediator only for the 144,00. and where did they get it that jesus didn't partake of the emblems?!?!

  it's crazy how true that scripture is that states that satan blinds the minds of the unbelievers.

  but what i don't understand is do you think the governing body is doing this type of stuff like putting stuff in the watchtower like this on purpose since they have the issues only for members of the congregration?

  “What, then, is Christ's role in this program of salvation? Paul proceeds to say: "There is one God, and one mediator between God and men [not, all men], a man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all."-1 Tim. 2:5, 6.” (The Watchtower, November 15th, 1979, Benefiting From “One Mediator Between God and Men". Full article pp. 21-27, emphasis added).
