  Hello,

  Obviously God would be the best to answer that question but the Bible does shed some light on your question.

  The account in Genesis shows Satan raised questions as to the rulership of God. It also was slanderous to Gods personality in effect saying he lied and he was withholding qood things from his children.

  Satan raised questions that took time to answer. Satan was trying to buy time in order to quench his appetite for being worshiped. He felt if the question could not be answered he would buy his own everlasting life. He was incorrect, because at the approval of Jesus sacraficial death from God the death sentence was officially slammed.

  But that still dosn't answer your question. I myself have been left perplexed by the very same thought.

  Perhaps he was having respect for the other Angels to whom would have heard and understood the implications of the issues raised. Since they may have wondered whether Gods rule was best and if man really may have been flawed if Satan was able to move the first two humans away from Gods love.

  Really it still leaves me wondering. I guess for me the big thing is if I trust God knows the best and does the best for all involved. He has the capacity to undo all harm and reward in a big way and in this I hope all have confidence.

  Thank you for the question best regards 3.14

  THOUGHT PROVOKING QUESTIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!

  by d0rkyd00d in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i printed these questions from a website long ago, and loved them to death cuz they freed me from that god-forsaken religion.

  i challenge any witness to answer all of them in their entirety, since the true religion stands against all falsehood.

  please note that these are from scriptures in the new world translation, used by jehovah's witnesses.

  Greetings dOrkydOOd

  1. Context was to humble man, so that was the point, not to show relationships in Heaven etc....

  2. Decendents of Isreal, which I am guessing is the Spiritual Isreal.

  3. Symbolic

  4. The set of nails, one at hand other at feet. Although I feel the question is superflous since the type of instrument, stake or t cross,wasn't as important as the situation around it and his complete intergrity etc...

  5. to be in harmony with other factors like Jesus being the first to go to Heaven from the Earth.

  6. Spiritual understanding, revelation was presented in signs.

  7. Question has incorrect foundation

  8. In heaven but speaking of different group

  9. all rewards come from God in Heaven whether received in Heaven or on Earth.

  Rock on brother

  Mensa,

  I liked your post. It takes a big mind to say a lot using a little.
  How funny that the only reply to your mind was rules. Hey, you posted in the wrong place! Not only that but a chance to mindlessly Judge, "Why are you called Mensa if you are a christian", listen to Jesus please, "Extract the straw first from your own eye"
  Anyways, don't let little minds keep you from sharing your indepth thoghts, I can use them.

  Was Eve Deceived?

  by Bruce144 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was asked the question, how was eve deceived and not adam?

  persons that believe adam and eve were placed in the garden the very same 24 hour day are wrong.

  even the society after the 1975 failure, only then did they act upon the fact that eve was placed in the garden sometime after adam.

  High Bruce,

  Good question.

  Here is a thought. They both disobeyed. They both knew the instructions and didn't carry them out.

  Eve was deceived in that she thought she could get away with it. She thought if she ate the fruit she indeed would not die, Adam knew better but they were both disobedient. Thanks 3.14 chow

  que Honda loco?

  First, the new G.B.'s are French and German. even though maybe still Gringos not the of the bleached kind.

  Second, whether or not there is a hispanic G.B. there will always be rice and beans aaaaand muchos huevos and oatmeal at Bethel, I know I just returned.

  Third, some of the "Nethenim" are non Gringos, one of such being Leon Weaver, yeah don't get in his way, he was my P.O. Afr. Am.

  And finally, a great morning surprise was serving salsa to drown out the bland taste of the scrambled eggs. Viva los Mexicanos.

  Delicious song. Its been said Life is a dance. A quote that bears well on this subject is: "dancing dosn't lie in the technique but the passion".

  My experience in religion has been all about the technique. Passion is stifled because those in the lead are dominant pragmatist with Western thinking. Not that practicality dosn't have a place but its not the only place. Life should be a way, a journey. The pursuit of truth is the truth. So as regards "I hope you dance", I hope we all dance with passion.

  Finally I quote Einstein:"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds" 3.14 chow

  2 the dog snatcher, Thanks 4 your post.

  So much depends on the experience of the person and what he holds in his treasure chest. My reaction to being bound by the unyielding exegesis of the "Holy Ones" is to over due the freedom of voicing my opinion. As you may know during studies in J.W.s you, for the most part echo set teachings of the said F.D.S. Yes there is room to garnish the teachings but going outside the framework is apostasy. That built frustration up in me over the years and I think now I get carried away or perhaps let to much out at one time. The funny thing is when I was active as a Witness with talks etc. I was very non-agressive. But as for me, I like to stay away of trying to understand people by codes of ethics and preconceived ideas of behaivor. We are soo different. We are what we have lived and our lives have been so different. I did take the value of your wisdom to Heart and hope for your continued peace.
