  When we read the Devil's only conversation with Eve as recorded in Genesis 3:1-5 what do we find? That the Devil asked one question of Eve and made a few specific statements, all of which were completely true. The most important of those statements was a direct response to God's warning not to eat the forbidden fruit. God said; “because on the day you eat from it, you will die!” Satan’s response? “You won’t die.” Genesis 3:4 CEB

  So who was telling the truth? Did Eve die on the day she ate from the tree of knowledge? No. The Devil had told the truth, God had lied.

  FragrantAddendum: watchtower writers are so full of crap, they are not jehovah's witnesses they're liars, like their father the devil.

  What lie did the devil ever tell? None as far as I can see.

  FragrantAddendum: you know a religious group is a fake if it signs up for corporate status to get out of paying taxes

  All religious groups are fake, every last one of them. No matter how sincere or harmless, not one religious group favours truth over dogma.

  From the home Bible study groups to Catholicism, religion is fake.

  Don't flatter yourself just because you can easily spot fakery in the cult you've just left. Take the rafter out of your own eye first.

  Personal beliefs do NOT equal facts or evidence. (I know some will disagree)

  I strongly agree 👍

  All else aside, I'm genuinely sorry for your loss. You, and of course your Mother, deserved so much better.

  To receive the full state pension in the UK you need to have paid thirty years worth of National Insurance contributions (a specific, earnings related tax).

  Whatever his payment record was before his move to Croatia, it will certainly have stalled since then and is unlikely to resume anytime soon.

  Hope he's putting plenty into a private pension or he's screwed. Actually, that's good advice for everyone - full state pension or not.

  God, one person, or three?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the trinity doctrine says god is three persons in one being.. yet the bible says god is one.. gal 3.20 a mediator, however, implies more than one party; but god is one.

  niv.

  gal 3.20 now a mediator is not for just one person, but god is one.

  Not only the ORG who perverts Scriptures!

  john 14:6 - "jesus said to him, “i am the way, the truth, and the life.

  no one comes to the father except through me.".

  certain christian denominations lie & contradict jesus' crystal clear statement, by promoting the following dogma:.

  Read more widely. The bible is arguably the most influential book ever written and familiarity with it makes sense of so much poor behaviour on our part. Sexism, homophobia, slavery, not to mention wilful scientific ignorance have all been endorsed by that book.

  May I recommend Straight and Crooked Thinking by R.H Thouless?
