  HYPOTHESIS for Christians

  by BoogerMan in

  satan offered jesus control of the world, as a reward for worshiping him.. (luke 4:5, 6) so he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.

  then the devil said to him: “i will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and i give it to whomever i wish.

  1. humans who have been given control of the earth, communicate (spiritism*) with its true ruler.

  2. Such communications delude them to believe that they are in communion with a supreme being.

  *In a stricter sense, spiritism is a doctrine founded upon the existence, manifestations and teachings of the spirits. https://www.definitions.net/definition/spiritism

  @ Godbeliever - (1 Peter 3:15) . . .always ready to make a defense before everyone who demands of you a reason for the hope you have, . . .

  If you can't offer any defense/proof for your belief that the 'faithful slave' was selected from a bunch of JW's in the USA in 1919, then you are not being honest with yourself.

  Hi Godbeliever, your response was lengthy, but still you refuse to answer a simple question with a factual answer: What extraordinary proof shows that God/Jesus selected the Bible Students to be the "faithful slave."

  Being persecuted is not a sign of divine selection. Jews have been persecuted throughout the world for centuries - but more so in the 20th century. Come back with divine evidence.

  @ Godbeliever, you said, "I believe the faithful slave that was chosen by Jesus at his second coming in heaven."

  I asked you this question, but you didn't give an answer:

  Since "extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof," what extraordinary evidence convinced you personally that the "faithful slave" of JW's was chosen by Jesus, rather than the LDS 12 Apostles, Archbishop of Canterbury, or the Pope?

  If any other active JW's wants to provide the proof, I'm only too willing to listen/discuss.

  @ Godbeliever: You're right - Constantine hijacked Christianity for political expediency and privatised it. Along came Martin Luther, and Christianity was put on the open market for every Tom, Dick, & Harry speculator who wanted to board the gravy train.

  Christianity became tribal, creating disdain, resentment, & even hatred among Christians worldwide. Prime example, Ireland. Every "tribe" claims to have the truth.

  recently, in the past few months, and this only applies to in dubs who might have taken note, the watchtower study edition made a change.

  it mentioned the “warning work” where dubs are going to march around and proclaim everyone is going to die.. anyway, this article said it was now only a possibility, not a sure thing.. i can’t find it.

  did watchtology change it already?.

  @ Lastmanstanding:

  w76 2/15 p. 111 God Wants People to Live - "However, one thing is certain: Each day that passes brings billions of people closer to death."

  w89 9/1 p. 19 par. 7 Remaining Organized for Survival Into the Millennium - "Only Jehovah’s Witnesses, those of the anointed remnant and the “great crowd,” as a united organization under the protection of the Supreme Organizer, have any Scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by Satan the Devil."

  More than 7.5 billion people on planet earth are soon to be toast!

  At the weekend, I showed the article's quote to a zealous JW.

  First reaction - "No, that's not what it's saying." Second reaction - "No, it's just badly worded."

  Cognitive dissonance at its best.

  Which Bible Translation.....

  by BoogerMan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ....is the best, in your opinion?.

  out of the numerous translations i've had/used, i can honestly state that the 2001 translation is head & shoulders above all the others i've ever consulted, imo.

  the publishers even invite suggestions/corrections to be submitted.

  @ iloowy.goowy, I'm still waiting to hear your erudite understanding of the process of translation by the NASB., concerning the scriptural examples in 1 Peter 3:2,15 I provided you with.

  You are imitating the tactics which JW's use when cornered - ignore the question asked, and then use any means/asinine assertions to divert attention away from your inability to respond to the troublesome topic.

  Answer the question using reason & facts, but for goodness sake, give up the school-yard name-calling, it's pathetic. The topic was submitted in the FRIENDS section!
