  I dont personally have a lot of old publications. However, I was over at a friends house and he had a lot of little booklets by the WT that I had never seen before. They were from 50's to 70's. One was on blood.

  Apostolic Decree Just A Recommendation - Russell

  by allyouneedislove in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just checked out the 4/15 1909 where it says that the acts 15:29 decree was just a recommendation to prevent stumbling.. does anyone know how long the wt held to this belief about the apostolic decree.

  when did the wt start saying it was a command?.

  Tertullian Blood Sausage

  by allyouneedislove in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have been trying to find out if the following statement from the wt is historically correct:.

  the record of the early christians who were put to the test by roman authorities agrees with this and illustrates that we should not think that gods law can be broken in life or death situations.

  sometimes their test was, either eat blood sausage or die in the arena.

  ***w827/15p.31QuestionsFromReaders***

  The record of the early Christians who were put to the test by Roman authorities agrees with this and illustrates that we should not think that God’s law can be broken in ‘life or death’ situations. Sometimes their test was, either eat blood sausage or die in the arena.

  The WT provides no reference for this statement and does not use it when speaking of Tertullian's writings concerning Christians being tempted to eat blood sausage (in later years). Can anyone shed some light on the subject of Tertullian's writings concerning Christians and blood.

  Acts 15:29 & Revelation 2:14,20

  by allyouneedislove in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have heard the assertion that acts 15:29 saying: "keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from blood" was a decree set forth as a recommendation to keep christian gentiles from stumbing christian jews.

  the same assertion says that 1 corinthians 8 makes it clear that it is a conscience matter to "keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols".

  however, revelation 2:14,20 seems to show that eating things sacrificed to idols is much more serious of a grievance.. .

  guess my problem with w82 7/15 30-31

  is that is draws such a hard line in breaking technical laws in times of great need:

  Numbers 15:32-36 While the Israelites were in the desert, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day. Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly, and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him. Then the LORD said to Moses, “The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp.” So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD commanded Moses.

  It doesnt seem reasonable to think that they would have put him to death if he would be collecting firewood so that his family did not freeze or so he could cook a meal, in extenuating circumstances.

  sorry for the bold, weird copy/paste

  Leolaia said:

  So James still regarded uncircumcised Gentile Christians as Godfearers, and the stipulations in Acts 15 were likely not viewed as "recommendations" but more like the bare minimum that Gentiles were expected to observe.

  would someone help me understand why murder, lie, and extortion, were not put in acts 15:29 if the stipulations were the "bare minimum"?

  that is a new thought to me, Leolaia.

The same assertion says that 1 Corinthians 8 makes it clear that it is a conscience matter to "keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols". However, Revelation 2:14,20 seems to show that eating things sacrificed to idols is much more serious of a grievance.

  (Revelation 2:14) “‘Nevertheless, I have a few things against you, that you have there those holding fast the teaching of Ba′laam, who went teaching Ba′lak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit fornication.
  (Revelation 2:20) “‘Nevertheless, I do hold [this] against you, that you tolerate that woman Jez′e?bel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and misleads my slaves to commit fornication and to eat things sacrificed to idols.

  Can anyone explain the relevance that the scriptures in Revelation have on the assertion that Acts 15:29 was just a recommendation?
