Well Folks,
I've been following this thread with interest.
Most entertaining and thought provoking if you are religiously inclined.
As time has passed I have become less inclined to follow the writings of the old and new testaments due to the many translation options utilised by many to support their own eisegesis.
In relation to this debate however, Vanderhoven7 and Sea Breeze have provided the best refutations to the wayward lines of reasoning presented by Doubting Thomas.
Sea Breeze, top of the class.
For me, If you are going to believe, the presenter of a notion needs to make sense. So far, Doubting Thomas has not.
Much akin to the experience of Sea Breeze, I have been there and done that and then chose a different direction.
Sea Breeze and Vanderhoven7 do make strong arguments that simply (or complicatedly) cannot be refuted by using any semblance of current watchtower theology.
So,, A great debate that exposes watchtowers failings.
Thank you all
