The reality of the "unforgiveable sin" - for JW's

by BoogerMan in

(luke 12:10) "and everyone who says a word against the son of man, it will be forgiven him, but whoever blasphemes (speaks reproachfully, vilifies*) against the governing body will not be forgiven.".

most active jw's know that this is the org's dogma regarding the unforgiveable sin - in teaching & in practice.. *https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g987/kjv/tr/0-1/ sheesh - looks like i'm toast!.

Selena Vertolomo "The Mower" and her sister Sherrie call into The Six Screens TIME STAMP 2:53

by RESPECTFUL OBSERVER in

jw
friends

selena vertolomo, former jehovah's witnesses who was sexually abused in watchtower, went to visit tony morris in north carolina.

selena and her sister call in and explain their position.

callers dial in from around the world and ask plenty of questions.

I think Rick acted shamefully by promoting this type of behavior. I've never watched Six Screens before yesterday, but I watched a portion of this program yesterday because it was posted on another thread, and it didn't make me feel Rick has a good handle on truth or reality.

I know abuse happens in the JWBorg world, but to promote the type of behavior that Salena took part in is not the answer. To me, it looks like Rick and other youtubers are trying to capitalize on whatever is the latest thing in order to get views, even if it's not based on truth. I doesn't make me want to watch his program a second time. Maybe he has some good shows, but I'll never know.

The Messianic Prophecies and Their Fulfillment in Jesus

by aqwsed12345 in

the belief in the messiah, which has lived in the collective consciousness of humanity since ancient times, became completely obscured among the gentiles, and only remained with the jewish people, who were later chosen by god, as the prophecies of the prophets kept it alive.

there was only one great promise in the old testament from god, which awaited fulfillment!

only one great desire was there in the old testament on the part of man, longing for satisfaction.

I'm not here to look for "followers". I am confident any sheeplike ones will look up the verses in their preferred translation.

1 Timothy 1:5-7

"Really, the objective of this instruction is love out of a clean heart and out of a good conscience and out of faith without hypocrisy. By deviating from these things, some have been turned aside to meaningless talk. They want to be teachers of law, but they do not understand either the things they are saying or the things they insist on so strongly."

Revelation 22:6-10

"He said to me: “These words are faithful and true; yes, Jehovah, the God who inspired the prophets, has sent his angel to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. Look! I am coming quickly. Happy is anyone observing the words of the prophecy of this scroll.” Well I, John, was the one hearing and seeing these things. When I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing me these things. But he tells me: “Be careful! Do not do that! I am only a fellow slave of you and of your brothers the prophets and of those observing the words of this scroll. Worship God.” He also tells me: “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, for the appointed time is near."

Jerusalem will be trampled by the nations until the Gentile Times are Fulfilled. — Luke 21:24

From Tobit 2:10 "I did not know there were birds perched on the wall above me, till their warm droppings settled in my eyes, causing cataracts."

😂

From Tobit 6:8,9 "He answered: "As regards the fish's heart and liver, if you burn them so that the smoke surrounds a man or a woman who is afflicted by a demon or evil spirit, the affliction will leave him completely, and no demons will ever return to him again. And as for the gall, if you rub it on the eyes of a man who has cataracts, his sight will be restored."

What a bunch of baloney! "Witch doctor" type stuff. Definitely not in harmony with the Mosaic Law.

From Tobit 8:2,3 "At this point Tobiah, mindful of Raphael's instructions, took the fish's liver and heart from the bag which he had with him, and placed them on the embers for the incense. The demon, repelled by the odor of the fish, fled into Upper Egypt; Raphael pursued him there and bound him hand and food. Then Raphael returned immediately."

Anyone relying on Tobit to understand the words of Luke will get really off course as far as truth is concerned.

"Make sure of all things; hold fast to what is fine." (1 Thessalonians 5:21)

💖"Beloved ones, do not believe every inspired statement, but test the inspired statements to see whether they originate with God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world." (1 John 4:1)

"Widely distributed" has nothing to do with being "inspired".

From an earlier post...

"Jehovah is the God of Truth. He inspired the holy scriptures. Any book that is not completely true is not part of the Bible.

The Hebrew-Aramaic Bible Canon was set before Jesus ministry. He affirmed that "the Law and the Prophets" were God's Word, and quoted from them.

Contested Hebrew-Aramaic Apocryphal books are easily identified, because either they have "fairy-tale"-esch appendages or teachings that are contrary to the Bible or do not directly contribute to the theme of the Bible.

For instance, Tobit has some crazy stuff about a guy who went blind when some sparrows pooped in his eyes while he was sleeping (I'm totally not kidding) and also some lady who never had sex even though she was married seven times because a wicked demon name "Asmodeus" kept showing up and cutting them off. An angel named "Raphael" supposedly shows up and helps a dude figure out how to heal "medicinally" by shoving fish gall in his dad's eyes and to kick out the demon by burning the fish heart and liver in the presence of the demonized person. It's totally bogus."

Tobit does not contribute to understanding truth. It twists truth. Relying on Tobit and other apocryphal books for "understanding" will give you "twisted understanding" of scripture and not real truth.

Tobit is not an inspired book of the Bible and cannot be relied upon to aid in understanding the scripture in Luke.

Daniel is an inspired book and makes clear that "the appointed times of the nations" are three and a half years when the governments attack and remove religious institutions.

Acts 15:29 - "keep abstaining from blood"

by aqwsed12345 in

for a christian, only the moral commandments of the old testament are binding (as they cannot change), but the various liturgical, social, and other so-called casuistic laws no longer apply to them.

this includes dietary habits, such as the prohibition of pork or fat, as well as the prohibition of blood.. take a look at the following verses: mt 15:11, mk 7:15-19, acts 11:7-9, 1 tim 4:3-5.. the jehovah's witnesses say that, yes, but in the acts of the apostles (15) the consumption of blood, idol meat, and strangled animals is also prohibited, meaning the new testament still forbids it.

for catholics, the council of florence settled this issue, stating that this apostolic regulation was only a temporary measure to facilitate agreement between jews and gentiles in the early church.

🙂💖For the "sheeplike" ones:

"It seems you know alot about how God feels about this subject. Here are 6 questions I'd like clarification on."

I need not be considered. God's Word is clear.🙂

"1. Do you believe blood is always sacred to God? If a Jew had bled some blood from an animal without killing the animal, would the extracted blood have been acceptable as a sacred sacrifice to God?"

Malachi 1:13,14

"“And you bring stolen, lame, and sick animals. Yes, you bring such things as a gift! Should I accept it from your hand?” says Jehovah. “Cursed is the cunning one who has a sound male animal in his flock, but he makes a vow and sacrifices a blemished one to Jehovah. For I am a great King,” says Jehovah of armies, “and my name will be awe-inspiring among the nations.""

Proverbs 12:10

"The righteous one takes care of his domestic animals,

But even the mercy of the wicked is cruel."

Blood is always sacred to God and not to be tampered with for unholy unapproved purposes. Removing some of the blood from an animal would blemish the animal, it would no longer be a sound sacrifice. And it would be cruel. Neither would be acceptable to God.

"2. Do you believe a doctor who told a patient to abstain from meat would be upset if the patient later had a liver transplant?"

Whether that particular doctor in your illustration gets upset probably depends on whether the insurance provider was willing to completely pay him for the surgery or not.😆

"3. Do you believe a blood transfusion would be acceptable to Jehovah if it was the person's own blood that was stored for transfusion? If not, why not?
4. Do you believe Jehovah is against blood tests? Why or why not?
5. Do you believe Jehovah is against dialysis? Why or why not?
6. Do you believe Jehovah is against hemophiliacs using blood clotting fractions VIII and IX which are derived from the donated blood of others?"

Genesis 9:4-6

"Only flesh with its life—its blood—you must not eat. Besides that, I will demand an accounting for your lifeblood. I will demand an accounting from every living creature; and from each man I will demand an accounting for the life of his brother. Anyone shedding man’s blood, by man will his own blood be shed, for in God’s image He made man."

Deuteronomy 12:23,24

"Just be firmly resolved not to eat the blood, because the blood is the life, and you must not eat the life with the flesh. You must not eat it. You should pour it out on the ground like water. You must not eat it, so that it may go well with you and your children after you, because you are doing what is right in Jehovah’s eyes."

Bible principles show that blood, once out of the body, needs to go back to God. In Israelite times, that meant either on the altar for worship in the manner approved by God or poured back to the ground. We are made of dust. God breathed life into us. The blood symbolizes the life. Pouring the blood back to the dust shows our recognition of where we came from and respect for God.

To play the part of a god, like some in the medical system do, to attempt to make someone "live forever" by fooling around with blood is sacrilegious. When spiritistic movies and books make fun of blood and life with their vampires and frankensteins, they are just making a parody of what goes on in the medical business system.

It is not wrong to take care of your body and stay clean and bind up your wounds if you get hurt. Get a cast if you break your arm. Get the medical care that is practical and within the bounds of what is scripturally appropriate. But to put the teachings of imperfect men ahead of the clear command of God by taking in blood in any way shape or form is neither wise nor obedient to the Christ.

There are some "doctors" who think sex changes or immorality or abortion are the solution to certain situations. As Christians, we need to be guided, not by what is popular in the world, but by what the Christ teaches and directs by means of holy spirit, even if it makes us unpopular.

1 Corinthians 3:18-20

"Let no one deceive himself: If anyone among you thinks he is wise in this system of things, let him become a fool, so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it is written: “He catches the wise in their own cunning.” And again: “Jehovah knows that the reasonings of the wise men are futile.”"

Acts 15:29

"For the holy spirit and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to you except these necessary things: to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from what is strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper. Good health to you!"

"Abstain from blood."

It's not complicated.

TD said: "EasyPrompt appears to be confused about every material detail here."

aqwsed12345 said: "God's prohibition on blood emphasized the sanctity of life. Consuming animal blood, therefore, signifies the belittling of the sanctity of life. In contrast, blood donation and transfusion testify that we can appreciate and distinguish the sanctity of life. Equating these two fundamentally different things is akin to contempt and wickedness."

I'm not the one who is confused or encouraging wickedness.

@TD, @aqwsed12345, You guys are the lovers of blood sucking vampires, not me.

Matthew 10:32, 33

"Everyone, then, who acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father who is in the heavens. But whoever disowns me before men, I will also disown him before my Father who is in the heavens."

Either you accept Jesus blood 100%, or you don't. There is no "fraction" of accepting salvation from men. Accepting blood fractions from imperfect men is an abomination and encouraging such procedures is demonic.

It's Jesus' blood that saves. That's the only authorized use for blood.

"Abstain from blood."
