  Nu-light on Heb 4:12 - "Word of God" == God's purpose as expressed in the scriptures

  by nmthinker in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  watchtower has historically interpreted heb 4:12 as emphasizing the power of the holy scriptures to bring about changes in an individuals heart and actions.

  most christian faiths take the "word of god" to mean jesus and his teachings.. now in the sept 2016 study wt we have new light!

  its so clear now!

  Father's Day is tomorrow (in the US). Why is it wrong?

  i did an examination of the one single article ever to address father's day since it's tomorrow here in the us.

  the article covers both mother's day and father's day.

  hope it's informative.. examination of “mother and father worship unscriptural”, the only article ever to address father’s day in any publication printed by the watchtower bible and tract society.

  But nowhere in the Bible do we find that parents are to be worshiped...

  Well talk about a giant leap:)

  Is it common for kids to sacrifice animals on fathers or mothers day?
  Though I would not like that - I would be awesome for my kids to build a Temple for me?
  Preferably one with a 60 inch TV!

  I was in a store a few years ago and heard a woman calling out for "Jehovah" turned out it was her young son.

  It was realy realy strange. I feel bad for the kid.

  String Theory Co-Founder: Sub-Atomic Particles Are Evidence the Universe Was Created

  by Tenacious in

  (cnsnews.com) -- dr. michio kaku [1], a theoretical physicist [2] at the city college of new york (cuny) and co-founder of string field theory [3], says theoretical particles known as “primitive semi-radius tachyons” are physical evidence that the universe was created by a higher intelligence.. after analyzing the behavior of these sub-atomic particles - which can move faster than the speed of light and have the ability to “unstick” space and matter – using technology created in 2005, kaku concluded [4] that the universe is a “matrix” governed by laws and principles that could only have been designed by an intelligent being.. “i have concluded that we are in a world made by rules created by an intelligence.

  believe me, everything that we call chance today won’t make sense anymore,” kaku said, according [5] to an article published in the geophilosophical association of anthropological and cultural studies.. “to me it is clear that we exist in a plan which is governed by rules that were created, shaped by a universal intelligence and not by chance.”.

  “the final solution resolution could be that god is a mathematician,” kaku, author of the future of the mind: the scientific quest to understand, enhance, and empower the mind [6], said in a 2013 big think video [7]posted on youtube.. “the mind of god, we believe, is cosmic music, the music of strings resonating through 11-dimensional hyperspace.”.

  At the moment String Theory is a religion since it is impossible to even test or verify in any way.

  Funny how they stand on both sides of the fence.

  When it's good for them they HEAVILY imply that they are inspired.

  And then they say they "have no more Holy Spirit (what does that mean anyway) than others of the great crowd.

  Always Plausible Denial to suit what they want to say at the time.

  When the are wrong (over and over again) they are just men doing gods work as best they can.

  When they want you to OBEY - they are gods spirit directed slave class.

  WT on Discipline

  the watchtower has always been deceptive in that it kinda says what sounds right - but what it really means is obvious to the rank and file.like in the x-files when the gov keeping "plausible denial" at all times.. this month highlights an article to help parents - "teaching children to obey".. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/g201505/teach-children-obedience-bible/.

  first off that phrase offends me - i know the wt feels children are "arrows" for fathers to aim, and not people who are to be nurtured to become their own unique person making choices that are right for them when they mature.

  and - they love the word obey!

  fastJehu thanks for the comment:)

  To bad they didnt use that scripture instead of:
  13 Do not hold back discipline from a boy.If you strike him with the rod, he will not die.

  But when you tell people who are used to beating their kids (not necessarily) it means its ok to hit your kids.

  Also many people have no idea how to "rebuke" their child in a way that teaches and not scares.

  Thank you Listener!

  When you think about it, it's kinda strange that there is no education about how to be a parent.
  Parents often talk about "how there is no manual for it".

  Why not?
  

  What would do more good than making sure future parents know the basics about children and child psychology?

  We teach driver's ed, but no parents ed:)

  FYI - when kids say - "I don't know why I did it..." They are almost always telling the truth.
  A review of brain development would let you know that - and a little child psychology would help you to know how to help kids work to making better decisions as they grow, and their brain develops, and they start to get the ability to do more.
