i'm new here, i only just found this site the other day so i don't know if i'm repeating something that has already been covered.
i'm sorry if i am.. can anyone help me on the scripture in genesis 2v9.. it says that god created two trees, the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and bad.
these were put into the garden before adam and obviously before adam and eve sinned.. if this is the case, does that mean god created bad?
Welcome Laurelin,
I think to truly understand where evil comes from one must ignore the mythology laid out in Genesis. This book was written at a time when man's knowledge was not very advanced. just a cursory study of this book will reveal what a crock of BS it really is.
Brummie may look like a cute cat, but I think he's right about evil coming from the hearts of men. I don't think we need some mystical explanation of a human phenomenon.
We sort of touched on this subject on another thread:

gotta relate how my day's going.

Not to blow my own horn but my chili (halibut) was good enough for jehovah. !

Of course I'll win. And BTW Will, no I didn't eat it all myself, I do have friends in the world besides yourself, eh. You and yours are only the best of them.

Gotta relate how my day's going. Woke up this morning and over coffee i decided I'd do a load of laundry(wich I only do half of it, half as often I should do it all). Anyway I decided to dig near the bottom of my pile to this pair of jeans I haven't worn in months. So i'm in the laundromat checkling the pockets for snotrags and such... what do I find... $60!
Anyway to celebrate my windfall (cuz I didn't win 649 last night) i spent it all on the ingredients for chili and...what else...BEER.
Cheers All, and I probably make the best chili of all the posters on this board, including you awl Texans.
i'm bored, so i thought i'd post.
i just remembered a part of a talk from a meeting i went to a couple months ago (to appease the family).
i can't remember what verse, but it was talking about how christians were the "wise" ones.
SLM,
I've always hated the smug, we know something you don't know attitude, that I receive when I'm at a gathering with a bunch of witnesses. I just have to grin and bear it when i attend these gatherings. It took me a long time to figure out the difference between wisdom and intelligence;
intelligence tells you it's raining outside, wisdom tells you to take an umbrella.
The problem with these smug ones is they think it's always raining. My problem is I like the rain and hate umbrellas.
Whats my point here? i don't really know maybe you can figure it out for me.

might as well jump on the bandwagon with the quiz thingie:.

I guessed on every answer and got 40.
.
i was reading the list of things witnesses can't do, on another thread, and i noticed that it was written that jw's don't have jesus as savior.. as a witness, i always said that jesus was my savior, thanks to jehovah.. maybe it's been too long ago and i forgot, but who is the savior for jehovah witnesses?
jesus or jehovah or both?
I thought it was Bwian or Woderwick.
