Little Thought for Lurkers, oringinal sin?

by Diogenesister in

just one little thought....adam & eve ate the fruit from the tree "of the knowledge of good & evil".

so..in other words, before they ate they did not know right from wrong...hmmmm so how can you blame someone who does not know right from wrong?.

for a crime to take place in human law you must have the act - 'actus reus' - and the guilty mind or 'mens rea' as it is termed.

smiddy: they would have eaten from the tree of life first ? before eating the tree of knowledge of good and bad ?

The Tree of Life likely was part of their monthly diet, a spice, supplement; think of the 12 harvests of the trees on the river in New Jerusalem of Revelation 21/22. Wt writers teach that "one day Jehovah might have shown them the tree of life", but they probably knew it very well, that is why the way was blocked until it's flooding. so:

A-dam & Eve were perfect, therefore dying like all creation, (even stars died, so that we can live). perfect= mortal, normal.; that is why they needed the tree of life to extend their time beyond normal. The fantastic 900+ year lifespans were due to the residual effect of the monthly shot of tree of life juice. --damn those swords, beat them into plowshares!

The wolf in red riding hood talked too. where is evolution when we need it? the breeding success of those talking animals?.

truthlover123 So apparently he could not have been bad in heaven or he would not have been given that position on earth.

no problem with the story there, the "disappointment aka sin" could have come after he was appointed over the earth too. So: we can't shake that domitnation, there is still he "throne of satan" according to the wtBtS inc doctrine, the authority given to the devil by Jehovah, now more focussed since the 1914 immigration of him into the Earth.

The Watchtower are humans

by WireRider in

the watchtower are humans.

they have never had any conversation with any god, let alone one by a made up name.

they never had any power at all bestowed upon them.

Science Will Never Contradict The Bible

by Perry in

so claims nuclear physicist

prologos

There are less than a handful of bible verses that happen to be in general agreement with current science. that is 3/ ~31 000 , not good odds to live your life by. Early humans were not good observers, look how long it took them to discover that they were naked, and start using fig leaves. It was ~ 2000 years from measuring the size of the Earth to discovering it was rotating. Now we know there is no such thing as nothing. The current bible should be written by scientists, theoreticians.

So ... Russia and Nato at war? Should we be worried?

by Simon in

it seems unbelievable but turkey (a nato member state) shooting down a russian jet fighter on their syrian border seems to be "meh" news and no one is too bothered about it too much.. the world seems a bit upside down right now.

i don't think a lot of countries really know who the hell they are fighting and who is and isn't on their side in it all and really what is going on.. smaller incidents than this have led to major conflicts in the past but hopefully calm heads will prevail.

china shot down a us spy plane years ago and the world survived and forgot about it so things will move on i'm sure.. i'm guessing the price turkey pays for their gas supply from russia will be going up soon though.. man, that republican primary is sucking all the news attention from the room.

Kalk, I appreciate your insights, I have personally experienced the single mindedness of Soviet army adventures. will concerns about the population really count? and if they loose Europe as a gazprom customer because a pipeline going into Europe from the south, coming from the Gulf states? through Syria perhaps?The bear is going into hibernation and will be hungry and ruthless when he come out.

by EJ257 in

please be aware of everything that is happening around the world at this moment in time.

at this point in my observations i have realized many religions/ideologies know there is some sort "end of time" or a transition into a new order of living in this earth.

you said: "--Nature is even making a call, an insanely abornaml amount--" EJ257 welcome

we see call of nature, a big pile of it, boy scout motto, be prepared,-- always
