Did the ransom sacrifice even work?

by Sharpie in

shower thought entered my mind the other day... jesus christ.

as per doctrine.

Seabreeze,

Thank you for your reply and the video - certainly food for thought.

So basically we have to die first to experience the benefits of the ransom sacrifice as a new creation or spirit.

Front row seats watching the collapse of watchtower

by Indoubtbigtime in

i’m a pimo ministerial servant and i won’t fade because i want to keep my front row seats watching what happens next few years.. my predictions are that this current governing body will slowly die off and the current younger helpers will be the next gb.

they will eventually have new light that they were wrong about 1914 and the overlapping generations.. the new light will be something on the lines of the last days are now because of king of north king of south pushing each other etc etc.

they will do their very best to burry old literature and try to change the past trying to make it sound like they were right all along just as they have done for 150 years now.

My old congregation in West Sussex lost about 31 youths between the late 1990s and early 2000s.

The problem I have with the ransom sacrifice is that if Jesus died for our sins why do we still grow old and die? The Bible says the wages of sin is death.

If someone kidnaps someone's child and the parent pays the ransom they are supposed to get their kid back yet Jesus paid the ultimate price with his death and nothing has changed for the human race.

I'm not understanding what the ransom sacrifice is all about.

Sunday January 15 is my 76th birthday. I answer some of your questions.

happy birthday 2 me!!.

sunday is my 76th birthday and i know that you want to know how it "feels" to have outlived my usefulness, to have lost my natural beauty (being reduced to wrinkles and flab), and constantly walking into a room not knowing why i'm there.

you also are curious as to how i can continue to find a reason to live since none of my kids think my opinions have any possible value, most of my facebooks friends i wouldn't recognize if i tripped over them on my way into starbucks, and my monthly expenditure on bird treats exceeds u.s. spending on the military.

Happy birthday Terry. You're 30 years older than me so hopefully I can learn some useful things from you for when i get to be your age..

Nephilim...Only desired females

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

bible questions answered.

who were the nephilim?.

the bible account says that “the sons of the true god began to notice that the daughters of men were beautiful.” (genesis 6:2) those ‘sons of god’ were actually spirit creatures who rebelled against god when they “forsook their own proper dwelling place” in heaven, materialized human bodies, and “began taking as wives all whom they chose.”—jude 6; genesis 6:2.. the hybrids born from this unnatural union were no ordinary children.

My personal take on this subject

The demons are the Nephilim survivors of the Great Flood. Because they had a spirit component to their existence, they drowned and died a corporeal death but the spirit part of them lived on. At the time of their physical deaths there would have been adult Nephilim and child Nephilim around.

It's hard to imagine that the fallen angels, who were basically universe and planet builders, playing games with humans and scaring them - this behavior is much more likely to be Nephilim spirits or what are called demons. It would explain why they are obsessed with possessing people - so they can feel what it is like to be a human again.

I remember reading somewhere that angel-women procreation also produced females but the gestational time was much shorter for Nephilim males and these mothers-to-be were celebrated because they were wives of the gods. When the thoughts of men became bad all the time, and after the 120 year decree, the angels decided to create a new species of human to prove that humans were worthy of existence by copulating among themselves. Materialized male angels and materialized female angels produced offspring but these children were born retarded and could not comprehend their existence.

Pandemic as part of Bible prophecy?

i was thinking that since russell started the movement in 1879 which became jehovah's witnesses in 1931 never has there been a period in time when all their activities just - stopped.

especially the preaching work.. do you think they will find some obscure verse in daniel that talks about this period of time and try to make a greater fulfillment?

like the 70 weeks of years or the 42 months?

Do you think they will find some obscure verse in Daniel that talks about this period of time and try to make a greater fulfillment? Like the 70 weeks of years or the 42 months? Or the two witnesses coming back to life?

Just a thought.

Hi all,

It's been a while. Lot going on. I had a Covid divorce last year over Zoom. Not pretty but I got a good deal.

Anyway,

My friend who is still active said there is unconscious resistance towards going back to meetings. There was a very low turnout and the rest were on zoom.
