Ressurection question

by Sookie in

i'm hoping someone can help me out.

based upon the belief that death acquits a person of sin, do jws believe that all those (jws and non-jws) who die before armageddon arrives will be ressurected?

just for my reference, can someone show me where this can be found in the bible?

>>>>>>>"Kenneson, Here is a secret that Dan won't talk about, that is they still believe in polygamy. They believe that to have Eternal life a woman must be married and a man must be married to more than one wife. So to get around the law of man, they marry by proxy after death just as they baptize after death. Right Dan?"
Nope. This is another lie.

Present evidence or quit whining.

Why don't JWs observe Kosher laws? or Should JWs eat that juicy steak?

by M.J. in

according to ajwrb.com, even a thorough bleeding of a slaughtered animal leaves as much as 50% of its blood in the flesh.... since jws are so emphatic about not "taking in blood" when it comes to blood transfusions, what is their reasoning for not observing kosher laws, at least with regard to the draining of the blood?

do most jws feel conflicted over eating a juicy and bloody rare steak?

is there any official prohibition against this?

Biblical Significance of the Month

As mentioned above, the name which "came up" from Babylon with the Jewish People was Tammuz. In this case, consideration of the use of the name in Yechezkel would make it appropriate to say that the name "Tammuz" brought down the Jewish People. The verse in Yechezkel cited above speaks of the worship of a Babylonian idol, known as "Tammuz." And it seems most odd, at first glance, that this name would be chosen as the name of a Hebrew month.

However, in the context of the month that we are dealing with, a month of tragedies which would lead to still greater tragedies, the appropriateness of the name becomes clear. The Prophet Yechezkel was being shown by G-d the reasons for His great Anger against the Jewish People, namely, the various forms of idol-worship which had been adopted by them to replace the Divine Service. This behavior would result, if the Jewish People would not repent, in the Destruction of the Once-Holy, but now desecrated, Temple.

M.J. I had the same question about holidays and the calendar. If holidays are pagan in origin, and shouldn't be observed, why isn't the whole calendar? What could be more pagan then the names for days of the week or the names of months? Shouldn't they use the Jewish calendar? D Dog

Mark 4:22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. Joh 18:20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. Dan will say; that's what it says, but thats not what it means.

"The first point that should be clarified is that those persons who state that DNA evidence falsifies the authenticity of the Book of Mormon are not themselves performing genetic research to test this claim.

I don't think anybody jumped to that conclusion

I have not made the argument that DNA is not useful for inferring historical events nor that population genetics is inherently wrong. Current research in population genetics is providing marvelous insights into our past and, when properly wielded, is a powerful tool. Nor am I disputing the inference that Native Americans have a preponderance of genes that carry a genetic signature for Asian origination.

That's good because he would be laughed at by the scientific community if he did.

the observation that Native Americans have a preponderance of Asian genes does not conclusively demonstrate that they are therefore not descendants of the Lamanite lineage, because we do not know what genetic signature that Lamanite lineage possessed at the conclusion of the Book of Mormon record.

Yes we do, the BOM says they were of Jewish ancestors. Just read the introduction. psssst, hey Einstein, Native Americans came from Asia over 7,000 years ago. Not Jerusalem in 600 B.C.,

RECENT studies have shown to corroborate all of the claims that the Book of Mormon states. I'll be more than happy to share those references with you tomorrow.

Sorry but maybe I missed these Recent studies somewhere in that mess you sent. But I didn't see anything that even looked like a scientific research study. Let alone one that corroborates all of the claims of the Book of Mormon I guess we will have to assume there are none. D Dog

Time is running out! Lets see the goods.

I would believe the person that has the spirit, regardless of his title.

OK I'll bite. How do we know you have "the spirit"?

If science can sway him then he must have been lying about the spirit confirming his faith.

If he was lying or was decieved about his feeling, then why should we believe you?

Science exposed his error, and I must say I respect him for admitting it. Other than your words what do we have? What do you have?

ignatius (who according to ancient sources was a disciple of the apostle john).

Can we agree or not? I don't know of any verse in the bible that says that God has a body, do you? Yes or no. If you do please show it to us.

The Bible is not comprehensive enough to form or run any church

It works just fine at mine.

Which is exactly my point. You can't find a scripture that says he does NOT have a body any more than you can find one that says he is a bird with feathers.

The burden is on you to show me from the bible, that, God the Father is a Man with a body!

You're right in that my understanding is not chained down to 1590 pages of scripture. No people in the Bible ever survived spiritually solely on ancient scripture, and I don't see any reason to start now; and if you'd like to test my understanding of the scriptures you are more than welcome.

Thanks, for admitting that the bible doesn't support your position.
