Ecclesiastes 9:5 -"the dead know nothing at all"

by aqwsed12345 in

the narrator of the book of ecclesiastes had very little knowledge of many things that jesus and his apostles later preached.

the author does not make statements, but only wonders (thinks, observes, often raises questions, and leaves them open).

he looked at the world based on the law of moses and found nothing but vanity, as the earthly reward promised in the law did not always accompany good deeds and earthly punishment for evil deeds.

"You stated that you grew up in an atheist household, before becoming a JW. Have you ever gone to a bible school to learn the basics of biblical reading skills?"

I did not grow up in an atheist household, as I explained to you before. I was an atheist at one time in my life. But as far as "Bible school" goes...

1 John 2:26,27

"I write you these things about those who are trying to mislead you. And as for you, the anointing that you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to be teaching you; but the anointing from him is teaching you about all things and is true and is no lie. Just as it has taught you, remain in union with him."

No true Christian needs to "pay" for what the Christ freely pours out.

John 7:15-18

"And the Jews were astonished, saying: “How does this man have such a knowledge of the Scriptures when he has not studied at the schools?” Jesus, in turn, answered them and said: “What I teach is not mine, but belongs to him who sent me. If anyone desires to do His will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or I speak of my own originality. Whoever speaks of his own originality is seeking his own glory; but whoever seeks the glory of the one who sent him, this one is true and there is no unrighteousness in him."

SeaBreeze, for hundreds of years, the Jews sacrificed animals at the temple. The animals who were killed did not have three parts or essences that floated off to different realms. The reason God used animals to train the Hebrews about the need for sacrifice was because they could see the very clear difference between a live animal and a dead animal.

Ecclesiastes 3:18-20

"I also said in my heart about the sons of men that the true God will test them and show them that they are like animals, for there is an outcome for humans and an outcome for animals; they all have the same outcome. As the one dies, so the other dies; and they all have but one spirit. So man has no superiority over animals, for everything is futile. All are going to the same place. They all come from the dust, and they all are returning to the dust."

Jesus was the fulfillment of the Law. His blood was offered once for all time. If he wasn't really dead when he offered himself up, then the sacrifice wouldn't count. He had to be 100% all dead in order to be a 100% cover for all mankind.

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.

"I wonder if Orthodox Jews would agree with you..."

Vanderhoven, Orthodox Jews are the same ones who still don't believe Jesus was the Messiah. Why would you look to them for advice on understanding the scriptures if they don't even know Jesus is God's Son?

"You are adding to the word E.P."

I have not added to the word, my friend - I have been quoting the same three words from Acts many times throughout this thread..."Abstain from blood."

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!.

Haha!😆Nice one.

Elders are appointed by ~~Jesus~~ the GB/FD$/BethelSystem/CO/OtherElders. They are more like demi gods in their own eyes! If you go against your local elders then you will not be forgiven by the GB/FD$/BethelSystem/COs/OtherElders.

It reminds me of that guy Demetrius in Acts 19:24-28...

"For a man named De·meʹtri·us, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Arʹte·mis, brought considerable profit to the craftsmen. He gathered them and others who worked at such things and said: “Men, you well know that from this business comes our prosperity. Now you see and hear how, not only in Ephʹe·sus but in nearly all the province of Asia, this Paul has persuaded a considerable crowd and turned them to another opinion, saying that the gods made by hands are not really gods. Moreover, the danger exists not only that this business of ours will come into disrepute but also that the temple of the great goddess Arʹte·mis will be viewed as nothing, and she who is worshipped in the whole province of Asia and the inhabited earth will be deprived of her magnificence.” Hearing this and becoming full of anger, the men began crying out: “Great is Arʹte·mis of the E·pheʹsians!”"

Many of the JWBorg "elders" are a lot like the guys getting their "profit/fame/power" from the false worship Artemis, only the idol is of the GB/FD$. If the GB/FD$ gets into disrepute, the entire JWBorg "elder" worship system will crash too. Many of the "elders" are like Balaam, shepherds "serving" for a selfish reward, stumbling others by promoting teachings that encourage figurative "sacrificing to the idols" of the GB/FD$/BethelSystem/COs/OtherElders.

Jude 11

"Too bad for them, for they have followed the path of Cain and have rushed into the erroneous course of Baʹlaam for reward"

2 Peter 2:15,16

"Abandoning the straight path, they have been led astray. They have followed the path of Baʹlaam the son of Beʹor, who loved the reward of wrongdoing, but was reproved for his own violation of what was right"

Revelation 2:14

"you have there those adhering to the teaching of Baʹlaam, who taught Baʹlak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols"

Jesus said to such ones (JWBorg "elders" who encourage worship of GB/FD$/BethelSystem/COs/OtherElders) "So repent. If you do not, I am coming to you quickly, and I will war against them with the long sword of my mouth."

GB headquarters will be torn down by the governments with Jesus' permission. When it's gone, the entire unscriptural JWBorg arrangement of elder worship will go too.

Are Elders prepared to take the fall for WT/GB misdemeanor's / crime ??

by smiddy3 in

i have been thinking about this in relation to the directive given to elders to destroy any incriminating evidence they may have either on their pc`s ,e-mails , private notes in their possession, or notes in their witnessing bags ,etc.

to do with child sexual abuse they may still have in their possession.. isn`t that encouraging the elders to interfere with the justice system ?.

to break the law?.

"Surely Elders are not dumb enough not to know their would
/ could be consequences if they obeyed these instructions ?"

They're dumb enough. It's sad, but most of them are dumb enough. Most of them were willing to trade truth/wisdom/love for "glory from men" and position. Some of them are sincere and are waking up to the reality the GB/FD$ is attempting to play the role of a god; some of them are just so busy and stressed and not thinking; but most of them are really dumb and have no clue about what is coming on the JWBorg. Totally clueless. "You reap what you sow" and they've been sowing trouble for a long time.

Hosea 8:7

"For it is wind that they are sowing,

And they will reap a storm wind."

@Teddnzo...

The Billy Joel song, "Only the Good Die Young" was talking about a man who was trying to seduce a Catholic virgin girl into sleeping with him. He told her "only the good die young" to tempt her so that she could supposedly have a longer life as a sinner according to his twisted words. It was fallacious reasoning, just like most of your posts.

You mentioned something about Salena's book, but you already know the title, it's called "Nesting Dolls". Maybe she'll make some money from this recent promo. As you already know, she also has a bunch of weird websites that all have the ICE and national trafficking line listed as the website phone number, even though her websites are not officially linked to those other agencies.

Proverbs 14:5

"A faithful witness will not lie,

But a false witness lies with every breath."

Job 34:3

"For the ear tests words

Just as the tongue tastes food."

"I have asked you before if you are born again and you didn't answer."

That's because your motives at the time seemed suspect. You were trying to set me up to knock me down, and I'm not into that. You weren't listening when I was trying to tell you that I do not subscribe to all the "WT doctrines", so I didn't see the need to answer your question at that time. Plus, I don't like it when people go around saying "I'm anointed" or "I'm born again" all the time because it's annoying and a lot of time it seems like they're trying to lord it over someone in an obnoxious way. At present, I had to answer because you openly slandered me by claiming something that I never said.

"May I ask if you encourage others to accept this new covenant or do you still feel that it is limited to 144K like WT teaches?"

I believe what the Bible teaches. Some of what the WT teaches is also what the Bible teaches. Some of what the WT teaches is not what the Bible teaches. I do not cling to a teaching just because a certain group teaches it. I cling to God's Word and the direction of His holy spirit as poured out by the Christ.

If someone is party to the new covenant, then they already know - I do not have to "encourage" them.

Galatians 4:6

"Now because you are sons, God has sent the spirit of his Son into our hearts, and it cries out: “Abba, Father!”"

1 John 2:27

"And as for you, the anointing that you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to be teaching you; but the anointing from him is teaching you about all things and is true and is no lie."

The book of Leviticus was part of the Mosaic Law. The Israelites of ancient times were gathered to hear the law and to obey the principles in the Law, but not all of them were priests or kings. The king was supposed to make copies of the Law, and yet he did not take part in the direction for the priests. The priests didn't take part in the direction for the king. Not every Israelite was a priest and not every Israelite was a king, but they all could read the Law and the Prophets and learn from it.

It is the same today. We read the Hebrew Scriptures, but we are not bound by them. We know the book of Leviticus was for the priests of old, but we still learn from reading it. We read the Christian Greek Scriptures, but not all Christians are bound to follow the specific directions for those assigned to be kings/priests in the kingdom. All Christians are redeemed by the blood of the Christ, but not all are in the covenant for a kingdom, to rule as kings and priests.

When it says the 144,000 come out of all "Israel", it means the the 144,000 kings and priests come out of all Christians. Christians all have one Father, one shepherd, they are all one flock, and all will see God ("and God himself will be with them") and all will hang out with Christ ("truly you will be with me in paradise"). But not all Christians need to partake of the emblems. It isn't necessary. They are already redeemed by his blood. Their faith is shown by partaking of his teachings, by proclaiming their faith in his blood, by obeying his teachings on love free from hypocrisy.

The partaking of the emblems is symbolic of becoming one flesh with the Christ as part of his figurative bride, which will be made manifest when they are ruling with him in the kingdom. The partaking of the emblems is symbolic of being a new creation, since only those who are a new creation can "work" in the "temple" - heaven. It is not necessary to be "a new creation" to be a Christian; it is not necessary to be "a new creation" to live on earth and hang out with Christ and God when they walk the earth and eat and hang out with all of God's children here. The entire universal family will be united and get to hang out.

Just like only the priests of old partook of the installation sacrifices at the temple, so today. If a Christian is not assigned to work as a priest in the kingdom of the heavens, he or she does not need to partake of the emblems. That's why the Lord's Evening Meal will end when the 144,000 are joined to the Christ at the marriage of the Lamb. The partaking of the emblems will not go on during the 1000 years, because it's not a requirement for being a Christian.

Love is a requirement for being a Christian.

"By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves."
