NWT 2 Corinthians 5:20
by TheListener inin 2 corinthians 5:20 the nwt says, "we are therefore ambassadors substituting for christ, as though god were making entreaty through us.
as substitutes for christ we beg: "become reconciled to god.".
i could not locate any other bible translations that have the word "substituting" in the text.

Why did Jehovah make Jews kill for the Promise Land?!!!!
by Spectrum init sounds rediculous, doesn't it?
jehovah promised the jews the land of canaan that was inhabited by many tribes.
he had the power to give it to them peacefully but instead got them to commit genocide, rape and pillage and destruction.

If the Bible is in such a mess is the Quoran God's final version?
by Spectrum inat least this is what the muslims claim.
until i had come on this forum i didn't have a clue as to what complex and convoluted problems biblical text offers upon scholarly examination.
i never took the muslim claim seriously i was quite derisory about the whole thing but now i have to give it more thought.

Did Jesus "obstruct justice" by taking our punishment for us?
by DavidChristopher inwhat would happen today if a innocent person approached and requested a police officer who was locking up a guilty person, and asked to take their place and punishment?
i tried it and the cops, got upset and started acting upset.
so i pointed out that was what jesus did, and i was experimenting imitating him to see how his actions would be recieved in todays world.

The "study" went GREAT, my mom NOW has questions!!!!
by FreedomFrog inok, as some of you know, i was suppose to have a "study" with my mom and an elders wife yesterday.
well, the elders wife couldn't make it because "something came up".
i guess it was more important than my salvation.. anyway, i still went to my parents house.

The U.S. now has over 1,000,000 average publishers - Why?
by truthseeker instrange increase in u.s. publishers
over the last few months there has been an unusual increase in publishers in the united states, but baptisms have been falling.
when baptism rates are compared to the 2004/05 service year, only 4 out of the six months shown are higher than 2005/06 service year.
