  Tree of life

  2. bible

  lets face it, the bible does not say and so any explanation is little more than speculation.

  those of us here that believe the bible has value can only reason on it as we see fit.

  personally, i do accept the scripures but i do not see the need to take all of genesis quite as literally as the wt does.

  It was put there by Him to have fun with his creation. kinda like pulling the wings off flys. How exciting would human history have been if Eve had ignored the serpent??

  Did The Witnesses Ever Say Weird Things In The 70's Door To Door?

  by shamus in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i recall my parents saying that they would go around and say that "nuclear bombs" were, at one point, imminent, and what you would do if you died today?

  i'm not sure if that's the exact wording, but just wondering if they really said weird things like that; like there were fighter jets in the sky with nuclear capabilities that nearly caused "armageddon".

  true or false?

  Some of us said weird things. I'd go to a door and go...er...er...er until my partner would take over. needless to say nobody ever wanted to go with me twice.

  Now it has been established that Jesus did say this. We all know that. The hermeneutics is in question however. In other words, the text is not the problem because the text has not changed. The problem is with the interpreter

  We don't actually know this, we don't even know that Jesus actually lived. What we do know is that someone wrote that jesus said this. This person may not have even heard jesus right and wrote down what he thought jesus said. Remember:

  Blessed are the cheese makers!!

  If Jesus died so Christians can be saved......

  than why aren't there "thank you's" going out to those responsible for his death?

  obviously god pre-planned the crucifixion and resurrection.

  so those that killed him were following god's plan.. devon

  This whole concept of God's justice confuses the hell out of me. He's made-up the rules as he's gone along and they've followed no consistant pattern.

  Let's see, the first example of HIS justice... don't eat the fruit of this tree or on this day you will surely die. But that wasn't the punishment inflicted. The punishment inflicted on Adam was to be banished from the garden and forced to live on the sweat of his labour. He went on to live for another...what 900 years. (don't remind me of the 1,000 day crap because that just shows how meaningless time is to an eternal). Eve, who wasn't given any orders not to eat of this tree was given the more viscous punishment. I guess if she hadn't sinned childbirth would have like a sunday walk in the park.

  But the biggest part of HIS punishment theat HE failed to mention to Adam was that not only would Adam suffer for his sins, all his descendants would inherit his punishment. What a fair, loving, kind, just God this is. I'd rather live under Saddam's regime.

  Not only do we inherit Adam's punishment, but we can't avoid sin because it is our birthright. For our birthright, which this loving God decided to grant us due to Our Ancestors sin we might now be destroyed by this God at Armageddon. Unless of course we accept the fact that HE, sent his son down to Earth to die a violent death. It's never really explained why an innocent man has to die to erase the sins we were bornm into. If this God is so forgiving, and since he's making up all the rules; couldn't he have come up with a better plan.

  As a justice system, this is so illogical...it's laughable. Two people commit a crime, billions of people are penalized for this crime, and the only innocent person in the whole story comes and pays our bail. British Common Law may be confusing, but at least it is based on justice and fair-play.
