  Can God Change his Mind?

  by peacefulpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  is 31:yet he also is wise and will bring disaster and does not retract his words.. 1 sam 15: furthermore, the eternal one of israel does not lie or change his mind, for he is not man who changes his mind.. numbers 23: god is not a man who lies, or a son of man who changes his mind.

  does he speak and not act, or promise and not fulfill?.

  when the god you worship pronounces judgement, is he, really just issuing a warning or has the matter been determined through all the godly powers of insight, foresight and perfect judgement?

  I think there is a difference between conditional declarations of God and unconditional determinations of God.

  For instance, when God said, “I will destroy Nineveh in forty days,” He was speaking conditionally upon the Assyrians’ response. His message to Nineveh was a warning meant to provoke repentance, and His warning was successful.

  An example of an unconditional declaration of God is the Lord’s promise to David, “Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever” (2 Samuel 7:16). No conditions were stated or implied. No matter what David did or did not do, the word of the Lord would come to pass.

  Do JWs Really Say This?

  by NotFormer in

  i stumbled, via a google search, upon a part of jw space that is usually heavily defended against outsiders like my good self.

  in a discussion, someone started their post with "i (started doing x)... when the slave began to suggest doing so"*.

  do pimis really talk that way?

  It’s old school. Probably from a multigenerational member.

  I’m 4th gen. My mom and her sisters used that term all the time.

  They would occasionally use the term “evil slave” in whispers to refer to the descendants on the original Bible students who didn’t follow Rutherford.

  It all seems so silly now.

  @ DesirousofChange

  Because the entire church age is the dispensation that precedes the Kingdom.

  The “last days” ends at the Rapture. The great tribulation is next followed by the Millennial Reign.

  This is the Most common evangelical position with strong early church leader support and some Dead Sea scrolls as well as the book of Enoch which is quoted in scripture.

  58% in Britain want to end arms sales to Israel compared with only 18% who want to continue.

  And guns cause wars, not people right?

  Watchtower intentionally misleading the court?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  seems to me wt lawyers and witnesses cannot be trusted even under oath.. mara mitchell writes.

  as far as their family members are concerned, normal family relations continue with the exception of spiritual fellowship.”.

  attached is a video on how watchtower presents family members being treated by their family when defending themselves in court.. .

  You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning,….because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar…

  He talks just like his daddy!

  Couldn't ask him to speak up a bit could you?

  No need. We have the Amplified Bible.

  The Early Church Leaders took it for granted that Paul wrote the book of Hebrews. That's good enough for me.

  https://www.ao.net/~fmoeller/hebrew.html

  On another note, I hope they read the very first verse in Hebrews which says:

  "God, who at various times and in diverse ways spoke long ago to the fathers through the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things"

  In other words, God NOW speaks through his Son, not prophets or an organization.
