  My Prediction Regarding New Space Telescope That Will See Back to 100 Million Years From the Big Bang

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. beliefs

  a new space telescope launched a few days age that will supposedly be able to see to within 100 million years of the big bang.

  wow... only 100 million years from the big bang.

  that is pretty early given the 12 billion year age of the universe assigned by scholars who adhere to naturalism.

  When you ask a million-of-years proponent where all the stars come from, they say from other stars of course.

  Reminds me of the Steve Martin skit where he expalins how to make a million dollars. "First, you start with a millioin dollars". (laughter)

  So, we are supposed to believe the the stars we see now are third generation stars. The reason is that the stars we observe have more elements than just hydrogen and helium, which would have been about the only elements present in a BB scenario.

  So where did the stars come from? First, you start with the original generation III stars.... (laughter begins). So, the starting point for the secularist in explaining where the stars come from is other stars. In other words, "First you start with a star".... How convenient. Really?

  Recent articles also confirm that the "early" universe Webb is seeing does not conform to a BB model:

  1. the James Webb Space Telescope has sighted two of the most distant galaxies ever — and delivered a brilliant surprise. These galaxies are far brighter than anyone expected, challenging our view of how the cosmos took shape in the aftermath of the big bang

  2. “We discovered there are many more distant galaxies than we had been expecting,” Treu said. “Somehow the universe has managed to form galaxies faster and earlier than we thought.”

  3. The early images and data from the telescope brought home “how quickly our understanding of galaxies is changing,” said Jeyhan Kartaltepe, associate professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology

  All very predictible, if you are a creationist.

  Recent studies have shown that some modern hominids are particularly profecient at self deception, even proud of it:

  Jesus as 'The mighty + almighty God'

  by JW Answers in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witnesses refuse to believe that jesus is the almighty god.

  they would state that jesus is 'mighty', but not almighty.. below is a 30 minute video proving from the word of god that the lord jesus christ is both mighty and almighty, separate from the father but equal too.. the verses used from scripture show without a doubt that christ is mighty (isaiah 9:6) and almighty (rev 1:7-8)..

  Christians have always maintained that Jesus was BOTH Man and God..... not one or the other. This is because that Jesus at times spoke as a man and at other times as God.
  
  The notion that man is only a body is largely a modern convention that of the 17th - 19th centuries known as Materialism. Bible writers assume that reader understands that man is a tri-partite being with a spirit, a body, and a soul - all three of which are YOU ... indivduall or collectively. All three denote personhood in the bible. For example:
  
  Job 32:8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

  Isa 26:9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early:

  1Co_5:3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,

  1Co_5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

  1Co_14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

  Rev. 6: 9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held

  Notice all the personal pronouns ascribing personhood to the spirit and soul!

  That's because man is a tri-partite being and bible writers assumed everyone knows this.... which they did until recent centurires:

  1 Thessalonians 5:23 - And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

  Hebrews 4:12 - For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

  When I study the bible with former JW's, I don't even discuss the topic of Trinity. Instead, I try to get them to adopt a biblical view of our construction and leave the carefully chosen WT materialistic adaptations. If a person rejects materialism, then they have ususlly have no trouble viewing Jesus as both God and man, since his spirit is the essence of God, not his soul or body.

  This perfectly explains how Jesus could say that the father was greater than him and at the same time declare that he posessed all power in heaven and earth.

  In my opinion, any discussion that denies the nature of man FIRST, is a waste of time in discussing the nature of Jesus.
  
  BTW, over 400 times in the OT the prophets declared, "thus saith the Lord". This phrase does not appear in the NT. But, 135 times Jesus said, "I say unto you". Interesting isn't it?

  what does the Bible....say about early hominids?

  Alot. There are a few verses here and there that talk about the topic. Jesus (the man who walked out of a tomb) mentions them as "male and female" from the beginning. But, most of the history of early hominids are documented in the book of Genesis.
  
  Did you know that modern human DNA and Neanderthl DNA are genetically closer to one another than two chimps are to each other?

  Watchtower isn't the only one trying to control information.

  And let's not forget that anyone who dares to have the audacity to visit/join another church makes themselves part of the most reprehensible part of Babylon the Great, otherwise known as the great whore of Babylon.
  
  And if that isn't enough to deter you, we'll make sure your family never speaks to you again.

  I never had a problem with attending a homecoming game when I was in high school. Never. Best Regards---Titch.

  No JW child would be allowed to go to a homecoming game especialy if both parents were active JW's where I grew up in Houston Texas.

  The catch-all rule was, "bad association spoils useful habits".

  Of course JWs can date Christians. They are the ones in the congregation.

  Rattigan,

  JW's are NOT Christians. Mt. 26: 27-28 specifically states that the New Covenant (Jesus' Blood Covenant) is "for the forgiveness of sisn". This is why people are Christian, it is what being a Christian means - getting rid your sin debt through Jesus. But, virtually all of JW's reject this and certainly all preach a different message than the apostles.
  
  The ministry of reconciliation through the blood covenant is what the Apostles preached. The two tier salvation that the WT offers was totally unknown to the Apostles.

  Galatians 1: 8-9 says that if anyone preaches a different gospel than what the apostles preach are CURSED.

  If JW's are Christian, then... the term becomes meaningless.
  
  There is no such thing as new light .... when the apostles died, doctrine was fixed until the Lord's return. It cannot be changed without beig cursed by God.

  JW's are definitely cursed by God. Bad, bad fruit.

  Thank you LHG,

  The world in general is largely unaware what it is like growing up JW. It is an insane mad-house of a religion. They are banned in at least 41 countries, so not everyone has forgotten about us.
  
  Thanks to EVERYONE for continuing to get the word out!
