that is the title of one of the watchtower's seemingly endless list of books that was pushed out for sale placement in the jehovah's witness' ministry.
the title does ask a great question.
those who would deny that the bible is divine in origin usually point to failed prophecy, events that do not mesh with historic evidence, scientific evidence, or even plagiarism from other religions.
The Bible - God's Word or Man's
IMHO the bible cannot be the word of God. Neither does any other religious Books that claim so.
Why does god want to commuicate to humans when Electricity wasnt invented. WHy cant god make an appearance today to the whole world and relay it live on TV.
Also, Paul was an Over zealous religious freak who wrote down things based on assumptions and rumours.
nehemia gordon, in his book "shattering the conspiracy of silence", argues that "yehovah" is god's name pronunciation and it has never got completely lost, giving a linguistic explanation.
what do you think about that?.
So most of us here were once worshipping a god who didnt reveal the correct pronounciation of his name nor prevent his name from being erased in his Holy book
isn`t there enough evidence to acknowledge the god of the bible has been a failure ?according to wt / jw teachings ?.
a god that has supposed to have created the visible universe and everything in it ?.
some points where i would challenge that from an earthlings point of view using the bible if only in paraphrase.. doesn`t god create everything perfect ?
Jehovah is perfect. And he cannot sin.
How can an Epitome of perfection create humans who can sin and loose perfection ?
Why didnt he create humans incapable of sinning ? Many excuse that with Free will. Doesnt Jah have free will and cant sin at the same time. How about that.
Nowhere in the Bible is slavery condemned
Not only that, it allows the slave owners to beat their slaves. The Bible can be banned for this one reason
Exodus 21
20 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.
this experience was posted about a year ago.
it seems like a crackpot co was giving his prediction of what "might possibly happen in the future" .
now it seems like he wasn't such a crackpot after all.. quote.
Brother, the preaching work is DONE!
The reason Jehovah has allowed the virus to stop the preaching work temporally is so we can focus on our family.
So Jehovah has completed the preaching work without any preaching at all in China, North Korea, Singapore, Saudi Arabia....
you have probably heard all kinds of excuses why god doesn’t communicates with his creation or why he doesn’t intervene.. some examples.. no one can see god because he is a spirit.. but we can hear god---yet he chooses not to talk to humanity.. god only communicates with certain people.
moses, samuel, abraham, etc.
but there are many people today who also claim that god spoke to them yet we ignore them but believe god spoke to people who lived thousands of years ago and we can’t really verify if that was so.
If God exists, there cannot be any reason why he never communicates or helps his creation by intervention
Fair Conclusion. God never exists. At least the Biblical god never exists.
if jw wants to know the truth about the truth, what will you talk about first?
I would ask them:
Do you really know Watchtowers history ? 1975 fiasco, ban on vaccination and organ transplants. How many died refusing blood fractions ?
Do you 100% beleive what the WT teaches you ?
Of coursse I would only ask these to people < 60 years of age. Dont want to collapse the feeling of eldery and send them down a depression lane.
do jehovah’s witnesses take advantage of people in their low points in life?
do you know of some good examples?
.
During my life in the cult, many times the FS elder(and in meetings too) would advise us to catch those who are vulnerable....the poor, people who lost loved ones, people suffering in diseases....
Even now I think the JWs have the habit of searching Obituary advertisements and writing to them about the resurrection hope (Cult recruitment)
5:27; 9:59; 18:22; jn.
9:48; [21:8]; 24:47; jn.
21:12, 17;] jn.
SO jesus was praying to himself. Seems he had a Serious Problem
if you tell a jw that he or she is in a cult and they asked you why do you say that?
how would you respond?.
When any Jw boast of their JW love, I ask them this.
Will your so called JW friends, love you the same if you become a Muslim or an atheist ?
Conditional love (fake love) is what the cults practice.
do you recall reading this passage before?
i came across this it yesterday while preparing a bible presentation on trees.
i had no idea this passage existed.
I thought the snake and Donkey were the only non human things that were talking in the Bible
Adding trees now
