  Great Tribulation and Trump

  by TakeOffTheCrown in

  please, let's discuss this subject without attacking one another.. it appears that trump has won a victory that no one expected.

  is it possible that trump may play a part in the great tribulation?.

  there are some who believe trump is one of the most unqualified of men to ever be elected president of the united states.

  Trump is the creation of democrats, fallout of their short-sighted policies. No divine hand playing behind Trump

  I agree with you

  No longer a Babe

  It reminds me of this incident:

  At a distance, Jesus sees a fig tree with leaves, and being hungry, He approaches it hoping to find some fruit, since a fig tree often produces figs earlier than it produces foliage. Upon reaching the tree, all He finds are leaves; the tree had produced no fruit. Mark, the author of the book, adds the comment that "it was not the season for figs" (Mark 11:13).

  "Faithful slave" can you READ the Bible - let alone EXPLAIN it?

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  an org myth debunked - by the book they claim to have a better understanding of, than other religions.wt14 11/15 p. 30 - who are the two witnesses mentioned in revelation chapter 11?.

  "......the account refers to god’s anointed ones who took the lead during a difficult time of testing.. so in the fulfillment of revelation chapter 11, the anointed brothers who took the lead at the time of the establishment of god’s kingdom in heaven in 1914 preached "in sackcloth" for three and a half years.

  at the end of their preaching in sackcloth, these anointed ones were symbolically killed when they were thrown into prison for a comparatively shorter period of time, a symbolic three and a half days.

  I too had problems with understanding Noah's flood. How did Noah load over 8.7 millions species (some as pairs and others as pairs of seven) into such a small ark, in such short span of seven days? Seven days would mean 604800 seconds. That means in one second, how many species did they load?

  Other things I could not digest was: Joshua could stop the sun, a star could come and stay over the house where Jesus was born ...

  Bohm,

  I agree with what you said: “The people whose opinion should be trusted are therefore most often atheists and non-experts who, free from the confines of scholarship, are the only people who can "see" (and accurately interpret) the few details of the evidence that has apparently evaded thousands of scholars and confirm that Jesus did not exist.”

  For example, in the field service when someone asked me: “If Jesus really performed countless miracles, why none of them who were the beneficiaries of those miracles came in support for Jesus when he was tried under false charge—at least one of many who received resurrection from Jesus could have come forward to defend him, or to preach for him even after his death?

  I could not give answer to him.

  A teacher should be clear and precise, should not leave things for scholars to interpret in the way they like, says the Bible itself: “If the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?” (1Corinthians 14:8) Interestingly, Jesus’ own disciples were thinking of who will become first among themselves—something that is very opposite of being spiritual, hence were not in a position to grasp things clearly.

  Jesus may not be a fictional character,

  however, much of the things he purportedly taught could be fictitious:

  · If you do something wrong with your eye or hand, cut/pluck it off (Matthew 5:29-30).

  · Marrying a divorced woman is adultery. (Matthew 5:32)

  · Don’t plan for the future. (Matthew 6:34)

  · Don’t save money. (Matthew 6:19-20)

  · Don’t become wealthy. (Mark 10:21-25)

  · Sell everything and give it to the poor. (Luke 12:33)

  · Don’t work to obtain food. (John 6:27)

  · Don’t have sexual urges. (Matthew 5:28)

  · Make people want to persecute you. (Matthew 5:11)

  · If someone steals from you, don’t try to get it back. (Luke 6:30)

  · If someone hits you, invite them to do it again. (Matthew 5:39)

  · If you lose a lawsuit, give more than the judgment. (Matthew 5:40)

  · If someone forces you to walk a mile, walk two miles. (Matthew 5:41)

  · If anyone asks you for anything, give it to them without question. (Matthew 5:42)

  Very few Christians, even fundamentalists, follow even one of these precepts, and yet they will tell you that Jesus is their role model (What would Jesus do?). Most of what Jesus is saying here is not practical, and if someone today was saying these things on a street corner, what would listeners consider him to be?.

  What if Jesus Christ was not put to death by the Romans but instead died a natural death?

  by deegee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to christianity, the death of jesus was a miscarriage of justice.

  so then, what if there was no so-called miscarriage of justice so that jesus was not put to death by the romans but he instead died a natural death?

  would christians still receive the forgiveness of their sins and their hoped for salvation?.

  Its logic goes like this:

  If a perfect man is put to death prematurely for a cause that he doesn't deserve, then has already gained the right to live forever--but he has not used it, nor lost it.

  This right is not for any single man to use because when Jesus was put to death, all the children that could have born from him also were put to death. Thus when Jesus was put to death, he gained right to eternal life for countless humans who do not have that right or who forfeited right to live forever.

  This right to live for ever is transferred to the sinners.

  Logic seems to be ok, but in the process greatest logic is lost--did'nt God almighty and all-wise have any other means to save sinners other this cruel method of asking his innocent son to undergo excruciating pain on behalf of others?

  The idea doesn't befit God
