i stumbled on john 17:1,2 which reads in net version:.
17 when jesus had finished saying these things, he looked upward to heaven and said, “father, the time has come.
glorify your son, so that your son may glorify you— 2 just as you have given him authority over all humanity, so that he may give eternal life to everyone you have given him.. if jesus had a close relation with his father, would you not expect to read something like this:.
THe Gospels were written 40 years after the supposed Jesus Death. Most Biblical Scholars agree on this. Also, the guys who wrote the gospels were anonymous. Most likely, as many scholars Agree, one gospel was written first and the others copied with some Extra fittings. And these ambiguity is a result of that.
My Question is:
The Most important person of this Universe comes on a most important mission to earth. But why didnt he write his own chapter with absolute clarity and wisdom ?
hey all!just to start i want to let you know the reason i'm here is for a school project.the project is very simple.
the goal is to learn about other religions.
this information will only be used to inform not to spread hate, deceit, or insult.i have three general questions.
What are your personal beliefs and how are they are practiced?
As the Watchtower brainwashes.
How do your beliefs affect your lifestyle?
As the Watchtower brainwashes
How do you view Christianity and Christians?
Demonic as per WT brainwash
What do you think the biggest difference between Christians and Jehovah's Witnesses are?
JWs are the only true religion that the only true god authorizes. All others are Demonic
it was stated many years ago in answer to how did the flood cover the top of all the mountains on earth in noah`s day.?.
mount everest ?.
and it was explained away by saying that the mountains before the flood were a lot smaller / lower than the mountains that exist today.. so there was no problem .. when the deluge began with so much volume of water now covering the earth ( water being heavy ) pushed down into the weakest parts of the earth and raised up in other parts of the earth to where we now have higher mountains than existed before the flood of noah`s day.. in other words mount everest didn`t exist at its present height before the flood and neither did any other high mountain that exists today ,the topography all changed with the noachian flood.
I would not flood my home to kill the bed bugs. Seems I know better than Jah.

Ok, lets agree that Mt Everest was just as tall as the Statue of Liberty during Noahs flood.
But, why do mountains grow. Why tectonic plates shift and create earthquakes.
it is therefore evident that in matthew 8:11 jesus referred to abraham, isaac and jacob figuratively.............. .
for this reason it became necessary that many gentiles (non-jews), like the roman centurion whose faith brought a miraculous cure by jesus, should come “from eastern parts and western parts,” from all around the earth, to become dedicated, baptized christians............... the natural or fleshly jews of the nation of israel claimed to be the “sons of the kingdom” or the prospective members of god’s kingdom.
from the day of pentecost forward they saw the beginning and the gradual development of this theocratic arrangement, but because of their lack of faith in christ they were not in it.
Bible says
The earth is supported by Pillars - Take it Figurative
The Earth hangs upon nothing -- Take it Literal
Adjust your thinking accordingly and have eternal life

An Almighty god, who instantly kills people for silly and petty reasons,who wipes out tribes and nations, cannot defend his Organization from these law suites and has lost many cases and paid millions in compensation.

a recent wt study was titled: “the resurrection reveals god’s love, wisdom and patience.
apparently there was a lot of speculation on how those resurrected will be needing to be taught god’s ways in last weeks wt study.
does anyone know how the watchtower tries to weasel out of the "resurrection of damnation"?.
The JW friends - whom I considered as a family - literally threw me out of their gathering 10 Years ago because I started to doubt the WT. Nothing as disgraceful as such, happened in my life
It’s the bitter sweet 10th year anniversary now.

The writer either forgot the people raised in old testament times and at the advent of Christ or he is not claiming those guys had the ressurection into incorruptibility and immortality he talks about. The new testament never claims Lazarus became immortal and heaven going when raised
They never forgot. THey knew its all lies. Hence wrote some mumbo jumbo
