Any active jws, without using the phrase "God must have..." Can you prove that Noah's ark actually happened

by DuvanMuvan in

i have a number of problems with the noah's ark story that i could never find the answer to in the bible and so i thought i could ask here:.

1.how did noah get animals that are indigenous to areas he could not get to (e,g penguins, koalas, kangaroos, moose etc) .

2.the flood supposedly happened around 4000 years ago but there is evidence of civilisation dating back a lot further.

Emeth, are you seriously saying there was a cavern filled with enough water to flood the world, then the cavern was was emptied and after 40 days it filled up again?

When you say it's peanuts for god to do, it's more likely peanuts for your brain to consider such non,..sense.

You are clutching at straws with that reasoning.

Obviously you are resorting to the god must have mentality and by so doing are insulting your own intelligence.

It is an ancient story which has been proved to be an absolute impossibility.

Only time may bring you to understand this .I hope someday you will find that clarity.

Best wishes to you.

Emeth,... if there is a vast cavern /reservoir, you would have to believe it did not exist around 4000 yrs ago ie before the assumed worldwide flood.

Assuming it did exist(which if its there would be indisputable) the volume of water would already be accounted for, which would annul that argument.

The Bible Says the wt says.. Who should we trust?

by objectivetruth in

the bible says -.

john 14:6 - 6 jesus said to him: i am the way and the truth and the life.

no one comes to the father except through me.. jeremiah 9:4,5 "everyone, be on guard against your neighbor, and do not trust even your brother.

ALL of these writings are by the hand of man, if you believe there is a supernatural element to ANY of them , thats where you must start any questioning as to their authenticity/purpose .

Otherwise do you cede your intelligence , and how to live YOUR own life to charlatans?

Active JW's, can you defend "THE TRUTH?"

by DATA-DOG in

as of yet, no member of the jehovah's witness faith can defend their unique beliefs.

when the dust settles, it all comes down to blind faith in men's ever-changing ideas.

this "unique belief" was not a "true teaching of the bible.

D.O.T , Best wishes, I hope all goes well for you.

JW vs Jehovah's Witnesses

by Da.Furious in

apologies if this was discussed earlier.

i tried to search for a similar topic but couldnt find one.. anyway, i am an active jw or is it jehovah's witness?.

recently i noticed a trend, mainly found between teenagers and older techie brothers, of referring to themselves as jws.

They always bang on about emulating 1st cent xians, but when it boils down to it they cant resist the pull and influence of modernism, although they try to wrap it in a cloak of biblical justification for the rank & file who soak it up with relish.

Any xian from the 1st cent wouldn't have a clue what they were all about whether JW or Jehovahs witness, of course the 8 guys in New York would tell them where they are wrong of course!! HYPOCRITS!!!

New Light - Good for goose... gander SOL

by Zoos in

when jws accept new light they must, by default, accept that what they were teaching was false.

they allow themselves the luxury of error so long as it is in the pursuit of better understanding.. .

you would think this scenario demands that allowance be made for other religions with false teachings, but alas, no.

Xanthippe,....Of course they have got at least one thing right.....

ITS ALL WRONG!!!!! LOL

One aspect of evolution that does not make sense.....

by EndofMysteries in

the part that does make sense are how bodies adapt over time to surroundings and use.

for example because of eating habits changing, our jaws have become smaller and we don't need wisdom teeth.

or the effect of the sun on our skin, etc.

galaxie

S&R,...so true , the closed mindset is in complete contrast to scientific discovery , and unselfish resourceful endeaver to gain knowledge and understanding of mankinds origins.

Those who don't want to learn miss the opportunities to be enlightened in contrast to remaining ignorantly in the dark .
