w92 7/15: "It is the obligation of all JWs to hate apostates"

by cedars in

today i was doing some research for a new article, and i came across the following quote which succeeded in raising my eyebrows.... "the obligation to hate lawlessness also applies to all activity by apostates.

our attitude toward apostates should be that of david, who declared: 'do i not hate those who are intensely hating you, o jehovah, and do i not feel a loathing for those revolting against you?

with a complete hatred i do hate them.

I wonder if someone could compile a list of hate speeches from the WT publications and give it to the proper authorities what would happen?

It would be a great idea to show to all how this religion is a religion that promotes hate.

Trinity vs GB

by FingersCrossed in

i guess the concept of trinity is not illogical at all... .

trinity = three person as triune god (3 person that is the same/equal in one office).

gb = 8 persons that form an organisation that is bigger than christ & god, worshipped by the jws.

Refering to article posted by Cedars ~ It sounds like "Well, we were wrong about the dates, but even Jesus's disciples did the same mistake too. However, we will keep on predicting the end because Jesus said we need to keep watching" Finger pointed to the disciple and Jesus

Governing Body's Doctrinal Errors Vs. Jesus Apostles' so called errors under the guidance of the Holy Spirit?

by I_love_Jeff in

if the apostles were guided by the holy spirit, how could they have made any doctrinal errors as mentioned by many jehovah's witnesses?

the governing body has admitted to making doctrinal errors and state that " you might as well condem jesus' apostles as well since they too had made errors.

i have read that the apostles had only made behavior mistakes not errors in doctrinal writings.. "the new testament makes it abundantly clear that doctrinal error can lead to eternal damnation.. didache is a noun found thirty times in the new testament to mean doctrine, teaching.

How did the JW come up with the idea that human has no soul or spirit??

by FingersCrossed in

really appreaciate it if someone can tell me :).

FingersCrossed

LOL! You guys are funny.. Okay, here is the conclusion of the punishment according to what the Bible LITERALLY says:

We have a man in shackles in a prison being tortured while inside a man-made furnace of fire, sitting in the literal Jerusalem garbage dump. Inside this furnace is a lava pool and it is also raining fire and brimstone.

Speaking about man's death, Ecclesiastes 12:7 states: "The dust [of his body] returns to the earth just as it happened to be and the spirit itself returns to the true God who gave it." When the spirit, or life-force, leaves the body, the body dies and returns to where it came from-the earth. Comparably, the life-force returns to where it came from-God. (Job 34:14, 15; Psalm 36:9) This does not mean that the life-force actually travels to heaven. Rather, it means that for someone who dies, any hope of future life rests with Jehovah God. His life is in God's hands, so to speak. Only by God's power can the spirit, or life-force, be given back so that a person may live again.

Regarding the statement in bold, what Biblical basis they used to say that it doesnt mean that our spirits travels to heaven?
