it will be interesting to see where the Borg stand on these things, but going by their stance on the clot shots they will almost certainly tow the line. They will tell everyone to obey the superior authorities and go along with it all.

The Watchtower was an early pioneer in the area of social control.

Social Credit Scores have been in place for years in China. Humans telling other humans how valuable they are as a human. Sounds familiar doesn't it?

Luke 23:43 the NWT

luke 23:43 - and jesus said to him, "positively i say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.

nwt places comma here , giving a totally different meaning to the verse.

now the average jw uses this to back their doctrine and it seems in itself virtually impossible to reason with them on it.

I have no interest in talking to you further right now, Sea Breeze

Well, I can certainly understand that. I am heartened by the fact that you seem to have latched on to the concept of Underserved Kindness.

But, unfortunately I see no evidence that you have entered into a contractural relationship with Jesus "for the forgiveness of sins" - Mt. 26: 27-28 Don't you want to get your sins forgiven?

The bigger problem, as I see it, is that even if you did want to get your sins forgiven by means of the blood of the New Covenant, you would try to make a deal with THE WRONG JESUS....one that doesn't exist, one that didn't raise his own body from the dead, one that went back to the ground or was simply disappeared.

The Jesus Christians are saved by has "a name that is above every name", Why? Because he did what no one could ever do - raise himself (his body) from the dead. It is every Christian's guarantee that they will live as long as Jesus does in their own body... just like Jesus.

The apostles never taught that Jesus would receive a different body. You must know that. If we preach anything other than what the apostes preached we are cursed of God.

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. - Gal. 1: 8-9

My advice is to simply find a decent bible-believing church (preferably a majority text preaching church) and just go, sit quielty and listen for 2-3 years.... make a few genuine friends at some of the pot-lucks while you are at it....Friends that may not care if you don't come all the time, but are happy to see you when you do.

EP,

Here is the verse in question with Strongs numbers that anyone can look up:

John 2:21 - But G1161 he G1565 spake G3004 of G4012 the G3588 temple G3485 of his G848 body G4983.

The Greek word is SOMA. It means body.... as opposed to the other two parts of man - his soul and spirit. For instance:

And fear not them which kill the body, G4983 but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body G4983 in hell. - Mt. 10: 28

Jesus specifically states his BODY is what will be raised. That is a fact. It is clearly recorded in scripture for eternity. It read the same 2000 years ago. It will read the same in 2 years from now and 2000 years from now. You cannot change that fact, no matter how hard you try, no matter how much you dislike the fact that Jesus predicted, that while dead, He would raise his own body from the dead; it will read the same in any language.

Your interpretation doesn't fit the leading of the holy spirit or the healthful teaching.

How would you know? Only born again Christians are inhabited and led by the Holy Spirit. Do you claim to be of the annointed?

I know Jesus died and was resurrected.

But you ALSO claim Jesus body never rose from the dead. Can’t have both EP. Especially since Jesus specifically mentions his body is what will be raised!

I know you can read and understand the English language. It’s like you are under some sort of spell and suspend common sense when reading scriptures that don’t support your WT training.

You are simply trying to make a WT doctrine (actually an ancient heresy) fit the Bible. And, as with all false doctrines, it doesn’t fit.

EP,

You are gaslighting now.

Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?” But He was speaking of the temple of His body. - John 2

God says if we believe Jesus' body wasn't raised from the dead (like you and WT maintain). "we are still in our sins".

Does that concern you ?

EP,

It sounds like you are willing to entertain any possibility EXCEPT the one that Jesus clearly stated; and that is: when they killed his body he would resurrect his own body.... while he was still dead.

Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?” But He was speaking of the temple of His body. - John 2

So you think Jesus’ body went back to the ground?

Where? The tomb was empty.
