  Why did Paul call Jesus, “the firstborn from the dead”?

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  "jesus christ was resurrected on nisan 16, 33 c.e., the day when the jewish high priest offered up the firstfruits of the barley harvest.

  this fits in accurately with jesus' being the "firstfruits" in the resurrection of the human dead.

  (1 cor.

  I have always understood that verse to mean that Jesus died for our sins , each and every individual.

  I don't really get what the WT means by putting Adam into the mix . To me the Bible says that we are all born into sin

  Would you leave the Watchtower if you woke up at age 80 plus, or just stay in for the rest of your life.

  so yesterday while i was doing some work for a customer, i noticed the wt mags on the sofa.

  and i asked the elderly man if he was a jehovah witness?.

  he said that he and his wife and all his children were raised in the religion, but only he and his wife attend the meetings or zoom.

  That is so sad. I do sometimes wonder if it's right to counter witness to someone who is older , are they better left in ignorance ?

  Masks Are Coming Off

  a number of states are allowing people to not wear a mask.

  some think this is disastrous!

  what’s your view?.

  My ( simple ) understanding is that vaccines don't stop anyone from getting covid . You just don't get it so badly that you would have to be hospitalized or even die . Like the common cold it will be around for ever , most likely.

  So people who have been vaccinated can still get it and pass it on to someone who hasn't yet been vaccinated.

  Masks don't protect the wearer , they make a , yes not fully efficient , barrier to what we breathe out .

  So until as many people as possible have been immunised the current safety measures are still necessary.

  UK 6pm cerfew for all man?!

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  here in the uk, we've had a recent missing persons case which has turned into a potential murder inquiry.. sarah everard (33), disappeared on wed 3 march in london.

  human remains were subsequently found in a wood near ashford, kent, and a met police officer has been arrested on suspicion of murder.. horrible events, and the issue of women feeling unsafe on the streets certainly needs discussing.. but surely not what baroness jones suggested: tabling an amendment for a 6pm curfew for all men.

  wtf???.

  I am a woman , a clue in my picture l hope , and l think that it's a daft idea .

  A policeman is suspected of the murder , so by that logic if he's found guilty all police men should be kept of the streets at night . The vast majority of men would never dream of violence of any type towards a woman . Why should they have to suffer for what is a minority of their sex ?
