  YK: What Is the "Spirit" of God's Law...

  by professor in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  their ruling, in my opinion, is reasonable, whereby the spirit of gods law to abstain from blood is observed and they have avoided the pitfall of deciding the minute details for every christian conscience.

  to observe the "spirit" of god's law regarding blood would mean not to eat it.

  although there is still some blood in all meat that we consume, the jews knew what was meant by this law, and that was largely to eat of only properly bled meat.. .

  with that in mind, then, we can better appreciate what jesus was referring to when he spoke about the temple of his body.

  thats because they are persons, whereas the holy spirit is a force that is merely frequently referred to as if it were a person.

  5. the wts claims that ezekial's prophecy of the jews returning to their land is fulfilled in their organization.

  Except you did not respond to my reply here.

  To observe the "spirit" of God's law regarding blood would mean not to eat it. Although there is still some blood in all meat that we consume, the Jews knew what was meant by this law, and that was largely to eat of only properly bled meat.

  When Jesus invited the apostles to symbolically drink his blood because it meant life, this idea did not contradict the "spirit" of God's law, although some took it that way. In this action, Christ established an example of how blood can acceptably be used as a means of sustaining life. Clearly, Jehovah's Witnesses are taking "abstain from blood" out of context in their decision to deny themselves and their children access to proper medical treatment. Using this same reasoning, we would also not be permitted to accept salvation through the ransom sacrifice because we would be forced to abstain from Jesus' life-giving blood.

  The prophecies speak to us in different ways. In the book of Daniel, for example, the imperial lineage of the present day Anglo-American power is laid out in symbols. At other times, though, the prophets speak to us by establishing patterns. For example, after referring to Sodom and Gomorrah and Noahs Flood, Peter said of such events in the past: "Setting a pattern for ungodly persons of things to come." So, what we have in Ezekiel is a pattern of how Jehovah is able to redeem and restore his people to their rightful place. In the case of Christians we are not talking about a physical place of residence but a spiritual inheritance. Just as the Jews had their Promised Land, spiritual Jews have a spiritual paradise that God has promised them.

  I love how the WTS does this with their "modern day fulfillments" of prophesies, the types and anti-types, etc. All of this is mere conjecture. Yes, it fills Watchtower pages and makes the JW's look Biblical, but you can't take it anymore seriously than to say that the Society is trying to draw parallels. Their use of this tactic to validate themselves is laughable.

  so whats the opinion around here - jokester or demonic psycho?

  i've always appreciated some good story telling and gangsta rap to counter my usual music tastes (indie and 60's music).

  pretty funny guy, that eminem is.. i'm sick and tired of hearing things from uptight-short-sighted-narrow minded hypocritics.

  Yeah I saw the video with him dressed up like bin Laden. Whatever. What got me pissed is that he is dissing Moby.

  and Moby/ you can get stomped by Obie, you 36 year old bald headed fag blow me/You don't know me, you're too old let go its over, nobody listens to techno/

  Moby Happens to be the god of techno and is ten times as talented as you, you white trash little ghetto tweaker. Nobody listens to techno? Yeah right. More people listen to techno now than ever in its history, and in two years you'll be out of style and working security with Gary Coleman. And Gary will be your supervisor, bitch.
