Time of the end - a TRINITY puzzler.

by BoogerMan in

(matthew 24:36) “concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the son, but only the father.".

(jesus seems to have forgotten to include the holy spirit not knowing either).

(acts 1:7) "he said to them: “it does not belong to you to know the times or seasons that the father has placed in his own jurisdiction.".

Another little mystery:

If Jesus is God Almighty, how can he be described as the "Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6)

Surely he'd be the king of peace?

(acts 1:7) "he said to them: “it does not belong to you to know the times or seasons that the father has placed in his own jurisdiction.".

According to Christian belief, Jesus was fully God while on earth. The concept of Jesus being fully God and fully human at the same time is a core Christian belief, known as the Incarnation. This means that Jesus, while on Earth, possessed both divine attributes, like omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence. This is a central tenet of the Trinity doctrine, which describes God as one being existing in three co-equal persons.

In other words, the trinity dogma accuses Jesus of lying/deceiving his followers in the quoted Scriptures.

Another "mystery" which needs explaining/dismissing.

(Why no mention of 'God the Son's' or 'God the Holy Spirit's' jurisdiction???????)

@ Gorb - I've strongly suspected that the 2008 crash caused the org very serious financial losses via their hedge funds/stock market investments, resulting in near-fatal cash-flow problems.

Hence the property sales and unbelievable & punitive cost-cutting and money grabbing strategies invoked - to stave off Wall Street creditors.

Still believe this.

Those Who Ascend To Heaven - As Revealed By YHWH

by EisMe in

martyrs ascend to heaven, the 144,000 are preserved.

many believers wonder about who truly ascends to heaven after death.

some hold that all believers go to heaven, while others believe only the 144,000 ascend.

BoogerMan

Why should any human expect to go to heaven?

Jesus was the first human to be resurrected to heaven - and the last. (Revelation 1:17,18; 2:8)

Aren't you agreeing with "the majority of Christian sects out there" - those who believe/teach that Christ's death buys back a helluva lot more than what Adam lost for any/all of his offspring?

Matthew 20:28 - "Just as the Son of man came...to give his life as a ransom....”

1 Timothy 2:6 - "...a corresponding ransom....

"What exactly did Adam lose?

What exactly does a ransom recover?

Why Bother?

by LostintheFog1999 in

we who actually look at wt history know that they just changed 1874 to 1914 without a fanfare.

setting up the potential for changing any dates to new dates because "holy spirit" told them to do so.. which makes me ask, why do we bother to watch what they do?

i mean, we don't care having escaped their greedy little claws.

Personally, I believe that the WTBTS/JW business empire is evil & anti-Christ and deserves to be witnessed against - at any/every opportunity!

Give potential victims ["interested persons"] the chance to make an informed choice, by sharing what you know about the dark side of the cult. Then let them decide what they want. At least you'll have tried.

The Two Witnesses of Revelation 11 : The Fulfillment of Prophecy - Part Two

by EisMe in

a united witness to the divine plan.

as my son wrote in his letter:.

*"with regards to our spiritual journey, there is not enough paper or ink to give it justice.

Watchtower November 15, 2014, p. 30 - Revelation 11:7 says that it is "the wild beast that ascends out of the abyss" which kills the 'two witnesses'.

kj chap. 11 p. 208 par. 33 - “In the spring of the year 1919 C.E. the faithful anointed remnant of Jehovah’s Christian worshipers were delivered from this Babylonish bondage.”

The wild beast that ascends out of the abyss is claimed to be the United Nations. How could a non-existent U.N. which wasn't created until 1945, fulfill a prophecy 27 years earlier? Even the League of Nations never came into existence until 1920!

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof!"

Your "divine selection" assertion is no better than that of the JW G.B., the Pope, the LDS' 12 apostles, Dalai Lama, etc.

All self-declared, and not a shred of evidence from Heaven. (as demonstrated by Moses, Elijah, Christ)

Why should anyone trust you over them?

Is Global Warming a Sign of the Great Tribulation?

by EisMe in

is global warming a sign of the great tribulation?.

we are witnessing unprecedented environmental disasters—events unlike anything seen before in recorded history.

scientists confirm that 2024 was the hottest year ever documented, following 15 consecutive months of record-breaking temperatures.

If people - especially JW's - applied exegesis when reading the Bible instead of eisegesis, they'd stop "going beyond what is written."

Matthew 24:21 - "....for then [in 66-70 C.E.] there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again."

Which part of, "no, nor will occur again" is too complex for the brain to assimilate?

No reoccurrence, and definitely no "greater fulfillment" of what Jesus said would occur. 😄

* Exegesis is an objective method that uses the original context of a text to determine its meaning.

Eisegesis is a subjective method that uses the reader's own ideas to interpret the text.
