Issue of Universal Sovereignty makes no sense since God wants man to rule himself
by yadda yadda 2 in(cannot get the italics to turn off for some goddam reason).. who is going to rule over mankind during the millennial reign?
jesus + 144,000 humans.
and in revelation 21 it describes kings of the nations, who must be earthly human rulers.

How can anyone really be a 100% confident atheist given the paranormal and occult?
by yadda yadda 2 ini don't believe the bible is inerrant nor do i hold a 'christian worldview' any longer as my profile details say (which i am unable to update on my profile), but i just can't see how anyone can be absolutely 100% confident there is nothing out there we can call a 'god' or spirit creature in the face of endless first-hand accounts of paranormal and occult experiences that felt as 'real' to the person who experienced them as anything else in their lives.. there are untold reports of ghosts, faith-healing, ouija boards, seances, spirit mediums, stigmata, mystical born-again experiences, speaking in tongues, and then there's hypnotism, ufo sightings, poltergeists, remote viewing, etc, etc.
ok, so its mostly only anecdotal evidence, but the amount of it is so overwhelming it is practically corroborating evidence.
in the face of all this, how can anyone categorically assert that there is nothing out there that is beyond ourselves that we might call a 'god' or spirit creature?

Divine name debate - Greg Stafford v Paul Lundquist etc
by yadda yadda 2 ini'm sure this has been discussed in depth before by the scholarly minded on here.
i'd be interested in seeing any former threads.. what are we to make of greg stafford's theory (and the watchtower society's) that the hellenized philosophy of the early nt copyists caused them to remove the divine name (tetragrammaton or variants of) from the nt writings?
have any scholars offered a rebuttal?.

Creepy Facebook friend requests but no message or even just a hello
by yadda yadda 2 indoes anyone else think its a bit rude and creepy for people from your way distant past or having only the tenuous of social connection with you to request being your friend on facebook but then totally ignore you, not even say a simple hello?.
this annoys me and i have a policy of deleting them after a month if they don't make communicative contact because by not even sending a message to say "hi, how are ya after all these years" they are not being friendly just apparently nosey bastards who wanna see my photos and what i've been up to in my life and then basically ignore me.
ive had this experience with a lot of jw's from my past.

Scriptures in the NWT Christian Greek Scriptures where Jehovah replaced Kurios or Theos and with no OT verse being quoted
by yadda yadda 2 inhi, where can i find a list of all the occurences in the christian greek scriptures of the new world translation where the word "jehovah" has been inserted (out of the total 237 times) where the bible writer was not quoting or paraphrasing from the hebrew scriptures?.

Christ's death of the cross disproves any Issue of Universal Sovereignty
by yadda yadda 2 injohn 15:13 "greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.".
romans 5:8 "but god demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, christ died for us.".
since jesus was the perfect reflection of his heavenly father, these scriptures above show that if jehovah was able, he would have given up his own life for the human race.

Why wasn't the Issue of Universal Sovereignty raised amongst the angels long before Adam and Eve
by yadda yadda 2 inif there were millions of angels in existence long before adam and eve were created, how come god's sovereignty wasn't challenged in heaven long before the garden of eden?
why did this so-called issue only begin when adam and eve appeared?
how could there not be a single rebellious angel before the appearance of humans?

Your warm invitation to join my new religion called "The Church of Conscience"!
by yadda yadda 2 ini have started a new religion and this is your personal invitation to join it.
i got the idea from romans 2:14-15:.
"for whenever people of the nations that do not have law do by nature the things of the law, these people, although not having law, are a law to themselves.
