  recapitulation - 7 Cycles in Revelation

  by Pterist in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the chart provides a summary of the whole book, supporting the theory of recapitulation.

  this view suggests that the events in revelation do not all form a continuous series but the series of sevens (seven seals in rev 6:1-8:5, seven trumpets in rev 8:6-11:19, and seven bowls in rev 15:1-16:21) repeatedly bring us to the end of the world, when christ comes in judgment to either reward or punish.

  as noted earlier, even the interlude of revelation 12-14 begins with the first coming of christ (rev 12:1ff.

  Apostate NT Canon

  by Pterist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as mentioned in july 15th 2013 watchtower "the apostasy started in the first century and flourished by the fourth century" or words to that effect.. as i was reading ff bruce's "the bible canon" ($14 kindle ver.

  on amazon) i was very surprised to read that there are no original nt documents from the first century, just copies of copies of copies of many documents from that period.

  apparently the 27 book nt canon was not set until about the fourth century by trinitarian church fathers.

  Death in Paradise !

  by Pterist in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  romans 5:12. therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned--.

  young earth creationists and jws (as opposed to old earth creationists) believe that adam and eve were the cause of all death and the subsequent cause of mortality in the universe, however the above scripture shows that adam and eve were the cause of mankind's subsequent death because of their sin, and lost out on the oppurinity of seeing god's glory to bring them to immortality by eating from the tree of life.

  hebrews 2:5-11. .

  New-Earth V Old-Earth Creation

  by Pterist in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in his book "peril in paradise", dr. mark whorton, (who holds a phd in aerospace engineering from the georgia institute of technology), puts forward some very convincing arguments for "old-earth", as he compares the "perfect pardise paradigm" to the "perfect purpose paradigm" proposed by creationists.

  he shows how entropy, death, pain and suffering already existed before the "fall".. a good read for jws that shows this mortal decaying earth, may not be their "eternal" home.. can be read in the amazon cloud reader.. http://www.amazon.com/peril-paradise-theology-science-earth/dp/0830857346/ref=tmm_pap_title_0?ie=utf8&qid=1377778808&sr=1-3.

  The "Christ" is many members

  by Pterist in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  doing some research to show from wbts's publications that they taught and/or preached that "christ" was not just jesus but a "composite christ".

  doug manson, has done a great summary on the forthcoming september study of the july 15th watchtower on the many "noo lite" changes including the new view of the fds aka " anointed" aka " composite christ" as follows:.

  russell and rutherford said that the christ is composed of many members.

  just a friendly reminder......... .

  don't forget to adjust your "end time" clocks forward on the 15th july,@ 12.01am starting at the idl so all will be synchronized with wbts new light standard time.

  we apologize for any inconvenience caused over the last 100 years , however we look forward to the future as we have updated our chronological clocks to 8 gb which should suffice as we move forward.

  Oklahoma Senators Jim Inhofe, Tom Coburn, Face Difficult Options On Disaster Relief

  by Pterist in

  1. social
  2. current

  washington -- as frantic rescue missions continued monday in oklahoma following the catastrophic tornadoes that ripped through the state, it appeared increasingly likely that residents who lost homes and businesses would turn to the federal government for emergency disaster aid.

  that could put the state's two republican senators in an awkward position.. sens.

  jim inhofe and tom coburn, both republicans, are fiscal hawks who have repeatedly voted against funding disaster aid for other parts of the country.
