  Question for a JW

  by Naeblis in

  1. jw

  not sure if there are any active jw's here.

  i think i've seen a few floating around.

  (i'm not talking about obvious lunatics like you know but an average jw) here's my question.. were all the bible writers prophets?

  Good points. Though in Moses case it wasn't necessarily a prophecy. Also, in Jonah's case that's not really the same thing is it? God told him directly it would happen and then TOLD him he was changing his mind. It's not as if he prophecied something and then simply didn't happen for no reason besides the fact that he was worng about it.

  Now the Tyre example is a different story and I've often wondered about it. Do you know of anywhere where the witnesses have dealt with this seeming error? (and I'll look for the book)

  Also, and thisis not solely directed to you as I understand that you don't necessarily believe the prophets and such to be true, but what does this say of the prophets in general?

  Why is this prophecy wrong? Did the prophet just screw up? It seems like an anomaly of sorts because I believe that the bible was not written at the times people believe but later on in history. My point being that it was tailored to have a certain message, failed prophecies and less influential books left out of the process. Why does this remain?

  BTW, though Cygnus is doing a good job, other people can jump in :P

  I was lookin forward to drinkin you under the table! :P

  Anyways, ok Ican understand where they believe they are placed. Is there any biblical support for it?? Or is it a convenienct way to keep themselves in a line of influence without leaving themselves vulnerable to criticism?

  That's all well and good but I wasn't asking Thomas Paine's opinion. Whether the prophets intended to be taken at face value or were speaking poetically to invoke a reaction is also not the focus of my question. I suppose I'll simply come out and lay everything on the line.

  If we can concede that not all bible writers were "Prophets" as Jehovah's Witnesses understand them to be, but that some were merely inspired, since the Faitful and Discreet slave claims to be inspired are they putting themselves on the same footing?

  If that is not the case, I ask Why not? Where is the distinction and is there several levels of inspiration?

  If so, can there claims that their being merely inspired allows them a certain level of inaccuracy mean that those same inspired writers of the bible were also sometimes wrong in what they wrote?

  Can you find me one place in the bible where an inspired writer wrote something and was later corrected by another bible writer??

  This is just something that came to me in the shower :P and is not meant as an attack, I am just trying to clarify where the FDS places themselves. Thanks

  LET'S MAKE A LITTLE WAGER

  by You Know in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  perhaps you recall the instance in the bible where samson made a wager with the philistines that they couldnt guess his riddle.

  as it turned out they wheedled the answer out of him by his fiancee, but the point is that they had a wager.

  since the underlying assumption of the apostasy is that we are not living in the last days of this system of things, and that this world is not facing anything remotely like the biblical apocalypse, at least not any time soon, in the spirit of such antagonism, i would like to propose a similar wager.

  a simple message to the witnesses who gleefully wait at the sidelines.

  a message to the "you knows" of the world who see tragedy and can only think of their "bets.

  " the world can be a harsh place.

  I take no responsibility for the website. It is the hard work of another person but I thought people would appreciate seeing that the world is not totally the degenerate evil place that SOME would have us believe.

  Ok, stay with me here. So far I've seen no opposition to my statement that not ALL bible writers were prophets and some were merely inspired.

  My next question. Were these bible writers who were "inspired" inspired in the same way that the Faithful and Discreet Slave is? And if not, why?

  So would you say that quite a number of the bible writers were merely inspired?
