  A Spiritual Man/Woman

  by SC in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the spiritually mature man/woman is one that is under the headship of jehovah and jesus.

  1 corinthians 11:3 "but i want you to know that the head of every man is the christ; in turn the head of a woman is the man; in turn the head of the christ is god.

  the typical man feels that he is the head of the family and have only themselves to consider, he doesn't even think of what god would think of his actions or thoughts.

  Can we understand the message of the Bible

  reply to question- can we understand the message of the bible?.

  joel bear made the following comment to me: as one of jehovahs witnesses who bears his name, why not give a well thought out answer to the question.. .

  the questions as far as i can determine are this: why is the bible so ambiguous that so many interpretations are possible?

  unconditional love really?

  some today believe that all anyone has to do is believe on the lord jesus christ.

  just believe that this unconditional love is enough for us to gain this free gift.

  opinion on judgement day...what u think?

  by gotcha in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was thinking that based on the way god judged adam and eve as well as lot and his fam i can see that he only asked them to perform a seemingly easy task such as dont eat from that tree and don't look back..this seemingly easy task would actually be a symbol of one's radical obedience or rejection of him...so i think that maybe the next judgement day...god would ask us to do a seemingly easy task that would embody what our real feelings are toward him...and maybe all religions are like tools....they could actually help/put u down in terms of faith or get you ready for this final question..just like a class which gets you ready for the final exams....i dunno if this makes sense..oh well just an opinion...do any of you know about the catholic perspective of fundamental orientation/commitment?--mch

  i've been interested in the discussion on the 'for those of us who believe in god' thread and aguest wrote this:.

  "we have been misled into understand what 'faith' really is.".

  if we have all been misled, then can someone explain what exactly faith really is?

  Resurrection, the best deal?

  by joelbear in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you die before armageddon without hearing "the good news", you pay with your sins with your death and are resurrected into a paradise earth where you get to meet all of your resurrected family and friends and be taught the good news without satan and his demons and without being distracted by having to make a living, sickness, natural disasters, etc.

  etc.. seems to me that is the best deal.

  and if so, then, aren't jehovah's witnesses doing people a disfavor by offering them "the good news" now during this stressful time when if they reject it they will be destroyed at armageddon.. of course, there is no free lunch.

  Read God's Word the Holy Bible Daily

  by Nicodemus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for decades now, those words have appeared atop one of the watchtower societys buildings in new york city.. that exhortation may never have been more needed by jehovahs people themselves than it is today.

  recent posts have asked good questions regarding what can or will sustain individual jehovahs witnesses who do truly love god, but who may be disheartened by various things they have seen in the organization.. it is clear to me that many witnesses spend far more time reading the societys publications than gods word itself.

  one reason sometimes given is that the preparation and research has already been done for you, thus making it easier.
