Is the Bible from Men, NOT God?

by the-Question in

for those claiming that- how much thought or research have you done?.

objective or non-objective?.

ever read the other books claiming to be from god?

Crazyguy

The Bible is totally from men !! Many of the stories can be traced back to older stories and were either changed a little or the older story was a template for the new story that ended up in the Bible. Same can be said of the gods. Many of the stories were about other gods originally, then the god of the Bible was put in thier place even the god of the Bible changed or morphed in to a new god. He was originally El or Anu then Baal then possibly a midianite god then he took on the attributes of Enki ,Marduk ,AmenRa , Osiris.

Same can be said of Jesus, he was a copy of Serapis then took on the attributes of Dionysos and others. Bible is definitely a man made book!!

1919 is not dead that's the only lie they have to stand on.

Millions now living will never die

by stillin in

but pretty much all of them are now dead.

and so are billions of others.

so, god doesn't desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance?

Crazyguy

Unless there's a 117 year old JW thier all dead!!

The Triune Polytheism; the 'Trinity'

by the-Question in

the most ridiculous of all dogmas anywhere in the universe is the very foundation of churchianity.....thus, all their other claims are just blah, blah!.

.

Crazyguy

One can find evidence of a trinity all over in ancient religions, not necessarily an all in one deity more like a family.

The rich will not inherit the Kingdom of God—Did Jesus really say this?

by anointed1 in

it is our experience that love of money brings action towards accumulating abundance of wealth which ultimately convinces the owner that “i was wasting my time” which in turn motivates him to turn into philanthropy (like bill gates and co did).

this is a perfect design (designed to work independently of god) like a journey of which the first half is wasteful and the second half is fruitful, and it is to be viewed as a whole.

hence it is unlikely that jesus would say: “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of god.” (mathew 19:24) verse is obviously attributed to jesus by later writers.. this means question of morality is not complicated if viewed as a whole process.

Crazyguy

Jesus condoned slavery and never said anything about not raping young woman, enough said!

If turned off by the GB's latest bloopers- do you still have faith in God and Christ?

by the-Question in

some go back to churchianity!.

and that, to me, indicates they never had real faith in god- but it was in men.....

Crazyguy

The Bible was written by men with all its mistakes and false prophecies. So read your bible and free yourself from slavery !!!

Death and Judgement Day

by Tirisilex in

i'm having a hard time with this.

what does the bible say what happens when you die?

when jesus was on the cross he said to the man that when he dies he will be with jesus in heaven.

Crazyguy

Don't worry about it , it's all from the ancient Egyptian religion. Judging based on your heart Egyptian , lake of fire Egyptian, paradise earth called field of reeds or Elysian in the Greek language again Egyptian.

The paper mentioned the dropping of a production order by the commission, so does anyone know what this means?

Dose Wt really have that much cash.

by joe134cd in

i realize that wt has got a wind fall of cash through various means.

so my question is in the greater scheme of things is it really that much.

for example let's say with all their real estate and cash on hand they are worth about $20 billion dollars.

Crazyguy

I think they got a wake up call about expenses a few years ago. Thier getting lots of cash but probably only from a few nations as others don't have the money to donate.

I think Guy Peirce quote was really about weather or not they got a settlement from the toxic dumped they bought.

I don't think they care for many retired JW, an ex Bethelite told me they make sure and send ones packing before they get to 65.

Thier dramatically cutting back on expenses and don't even care about countries in places like Africa and they just plain pulled the plug on India.

The big question is how much are all the lawsuits going to cost them?? So far they have been able to get away with thier policies but one good lawsuit and that could all change.

Question on the sun created in the fourth day

by opusdei1972 in

in the first day elohim created light, and it was day and night in the first day.

then in the fourth day he created the sun, the moon and the stars.

of course, it did not actually happen, but what did the writer have in mind?.

Crazyguy

The first chapter of Genesis proves the Bible wasn't inspired! Light before the sun, plants before the sun and the moon is an luminary.
