Why does the Lord always want to take his fury against innocent animals?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

genesis 6. .

5 the lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.

6 the lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled.

Animals are not made in the image of God. Originally man had the same moral character as God. Then, he took on another nature.

The wages of sin is death.

So, sacrificing innocent animals not only provided meals for those hungry, they also provided a substitute for the death required by law for sinning. It was a vicarious death of the sinner that was enacted.

Likewise, Jesus died a substitute death for all those that would believe that his sacrifice would be sufficient on their behalf to be grafted back into God's family and receive the original moral character of God .

Are JW's Sins Forgiven? NO - (Says the Watchtower)

by Sea Breeze in

anyone who has been of this forum in the past few days has seen doubting thomas (an active jw) refuse over and over to provide even one scripture that can show how a jw can get their sins forgiven while outside of the new covenant as described in mt.

26: 27-28. yet, he claims to believe in the blood covering of jesus while at the same time personally rejecting the new covenant "for forgiveness of sins".

his contradictory claims are common among jw's.

@ Rattigan,

Jehovah is our father because he was our creater

Nope. WT has never back tracked on the fact that Jehovah is not the father of R & F witnesses. God does not recognize the devil as his son, though he created him. Christians are born sons of Adam.... like everyone else but are grafted into the family of God by adoption. R & F witnesses are not adopted but are still trying to get into the family another way.
Yes, Jws are declared righteous from faith and when their sins are removed.
Only, their sins are not removed because they publicly reject the New Covenant "for the forgiveness of sins as described in Mr. 26: 27-27
And, Yes, Jesus is the mediator for the anointed only because only they need a mediator.
Wrong, All are sinners. All will be judged after they die (Hebrews 9:27). All need a Mediator.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; - 1 Tim. 2: 5

What are some of the weird teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses, past and present?

by Vanderhoven7 in

i just picked up a few from mark jones as follows:.

i see is that the vast majority of jws don't seem to understand what their religion actually teaches.. the more controversial or embarrassing doctrine - although still official doctrine that has never been rescinded - is just not talked about anymore in the magazines.

Facing Reality - It's a Death Cult (Romans 6: 7 Examined)

by Sea Breeze in

watchtower view on romans 6: 7 examined .

the watchtower teaches that the opportunity to be born again and enjoy complete justification with god ended in 1935, having been limited to only 144k since pentecost.

so, it is very surprising that the watchtower embraces the death that is described in romans chapter 6, since this is the very death that is required to be born again…… which is denied to watchtower members!

The WT heresy on "self-atonement" has lead to suicide and murder. It is a very dangerous cult:

Before Laura killed her family, she wrote: “I had to kill them, it was the only way to save them.”

See: A Jehovah’s Witness Murders Family to “Save” Them from Armageddon

We sincerely have no desire to become untruthful, mentally diseased...and...antichristian as teachers.

True. But, they still deny the sin-atoning value of Jesus. "[when you die] the sinful record for which he was condemned to death no longer stands against him".

According to WT; Now you get to try again, and again, and again for 1000 years to get it right.

No thanks.

Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. - Romans 5: 9

Did the apostle Paul, Priscilla and Aquila sell their tents to the Roman army?

by hoser in

apparently they made leather tents for the roman army.

i had searched this site but i couldn’t find that this topic had been discussed yet.

.

Sea Breeze

Makes perfect sense. The locals didn't need tents in general. Soldiers did.

Thanks!

with that logic, only the...Armageddon survivors need the ransom and a mediator

Excellent point waton! There you go again using simple logic; how dare you.
