  Who is the "True God of the Bible" ?

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i decided to ask this on the back of "lost"'s thread about yhvh etc.. quite often on here we get bible believers trying to tie the whole mess that is the bible together, and maintaining that it tells us about just one "true" god.. who is this "true" god, and what is the proof that he is true ?.

  was he the god of abraham and melchizedech ?.

  the god of the ordinary jew before the babylonian exile ?.

  Interesting last post tec. So maybe certain parts of the OT are libellous, giving him a bad name?

  [Added:] Don't Muslims also think that the OT is not completely accurate?

  Hmm, burning books seems to be quite the thing when you don't want people to know the whole story. So sad about what happened at Alexandria. Seems the Church knew best so nobody needed 'education' (sound familiar?). Can't have reason and logic clouding the issue can we?

  In my opinion TTGOTB (as depicted in the Hebrew scriptures) was lacking in basic morality.

  1) He condemned the whole of humankind, on account of the actions of two people.

  2) He particularly targetted women for punishment, by making childbirth literally a pain and put them at a disadvantage by making them 'crave' men who would 'dominate' them.

  3) He condemned descendents on account of what their forefathers did ('sins of the fathers visited on the sons').

  4) He sometimes required that one should not feel pity towards children but put them to death on account of the actions of their parents.

  5) Apart from one occasion, where an angel was reported to be involved, he required that human beings do his work of butchering other human beings.

  Seems to me the most likely origin of this immoral person was the mind of someone who 'had issues'.

  Have the leaders of JWs ever said 'sorry'?

  by JWB in

  2. beliefs

  well have they?

  given that 'we are all imperfect and fall down many times' one would expect them to have made at least some mistakes since rutherford founded the jw religion.

  as christians are supposed to be humble, including those who 'would be great among you', should we not have seen evidence of this over such a long time period?.

  "lost", yes I did read from the beginning, but found no proof from what you said that the ancient Israelites pronounced Waw (Vav) like a V. Their is also no 'v' in ancient Greek either - the closest from a modern pronunciation would be ph but but I understand the the Greek letter phi would have been pronounced as a p (but with a hard breath immediately afterwards). What I had hoped for would be a pointer to where in your written text you supplied proof of your assertion, but I didn't get any. Again, don't get me wrong, I'm just trying to see if I've missed something. I think oppostate gave a very good example of how the pronunciation of language has changed over time.
