  The Apostate Paul

  by Valis in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've recently come accross 2nd corinthians 12:2 where paul talks about the "third heaven".

  did he make this up in an attempt to call other versions of the world false prophecy, or did he somehow know he was in a place called the third heaven where he talked to dog?

  he admits only dog knows ,so where did he come up w/the third heaven concept?

  Overwhelmed by Response

  by dobby in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just a quick note...well it didn't end up very quick:).

  i posted about my internal struggle with belief in god a few days ago.. unfortunately, with my job and family i am often so busy i can't get to this board for days at a time.. i just saw that there were many responses to my posting.. i want to say thanks to those who offered encouragement and some very good points to think about.. at this time i remain an agnostic with atheistic days.

  but if i do settle on a belief in god i can only believe in a simple form of worship, i know i will not be able to accept any "holy" book or traditional form of religion.

  so you want to knock down the wt

  by one in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you a right to start a crusade and the right to get a life and still feel free to write and talk as you please specially if the writting and talking is going to help someone.

  then a sucker is born and the cycle start all over.. being realistic the usa has been trying to nock down a regime in cuba for half a decade... besides writting and talking against it.

  anyway what goes up must come down, but for more than a millenium this law hasn't aplied to some churches, catholic.. why do i care about this anyway?.

  Women are Not the Glory of God

  by JosephAlward in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  no teaching in the bible is clearer, more consistent, than the one which teaches that women are inferior to men.

  below i show that it is taught that the woman was created from man, for man, that man is the glory of god, but woman is not.

  furthermore, the evangelist paul says that he'll not abide women teaching men, and he refers to genesis to explain why.

  MORE ON "ONLINE BIBLES"

  by revdrjohnson in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  joseph f. alward, posted the following:.

  i believe there are many on this forum who are not aware of the many online bibles from which they could almost effortless copy verses to paste into their arguments.

  when one refers to a particular verse in a particular book, few readers have the patience to go seach through the whole book.

  Paul didn't write Hebrews!

  by badboy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i understand from a 1981 edition that paul wrote hebrews.. not so, i understand that its style is different from paul's letters and that early church fathers say that barsabbas(sp)alias joseph, a levite from cyprus(hebrews does mention the jerusalem temple).

  i humbly suggest that the wt buys a niv study bible and toss all those factually inaccurate sources out of the window
