  Well God had to prove he was right. After all, the angels were watching!

  Or was it in fact other GOD`S that were watching, Gen.3:22a

  What is the difference between elohim and elohim?

  by I_love_Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  another question for jehovah's witnesses.

  if the second elohim (אֱלהִים) of psalm 82:1 refers to humans, then what happens when we substitute "humans" as a translation in other verses where elohim (or elim, the other plural for "gods") occurs in the plural?

  psalm 8:4-5 what is man, that you (god) art mindful of him?

  Before mankind ever invented for himself Kings ,Judges or Gods or the like to rule over him ,Yahweh/Jehovah in Genesis 3:22 says this "Here the man has become like one of us"....

  Who was he talking to ? his peers ? other Gods ? Himself ?

  Mt: 24/luke 21 does not have a 2nd fulfillment!

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the bible clearly says a generation is 40 years (exodus and job) the 1st half of the last century saw wars, famines, pestilence.

  if 1914 was the correct starting date the end should have came by the mid 1950's ( which the witnesses believed at the time) this fact alone proves beyond a shadow of a doubt.

  jesus was only speaking of the events of the 1st century..

  Good points Guys ? And when Jesus made that prophecy about Jerusalem being destroyed it occurred within that 40 year period namely about 38 years .

  That a scriptural generation is less than 50 years can also be affirmed from 3 scriptural references such as :

  Mathew.1: 17

  Luke 3:23-38

  Mathew 24:34

  All of which attest to a Biblical generation being no longer than 50 years or thereabouts.and certainly not an overlapping generation .

  And definitely no suggestion anywhere in scripture of a secondary fulfillment to Jesus prophecy.

  Could/should JW Lawyer be punished for deceiving the Judge?

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in an attempt to disparage a faded jw and to obtain their personal details, he deceptively partially quoted a statement from the jw.borg web site to the new york judge when he wrote, .

  "disfellowshipping does not cause family relationships to be permanently lost: "the religious ties he had with his family change, but blood ties remain.

  the marriage relationship and normal family affections and dealings continue.

  It doesn`t appear like a JW Lawyer could be punished for deceiving or misleading a Judge .

  But they sure as hell should be prosecuted for deceiving or misleading a Judge or magistrate in a court of law.

  No wonder the law is often referred to as an ass when lawyers can get away with manipulating the system and getting off scot free for doing so.

  Word games ,word games ......so true it makes a mockery of the judicial system when they can get away with it.

  And get away with it they do .
