JW's are semi-trinitarians and do not understand the Sacret Secret

by paradisebeauty in

i have been searching pro and anti arguments for trinity, and found out there are anti-trinitarians who believe jesus did not preexist before his human life.

and i am thinking, it kind of makes sense.

what if yahweh created a second adam.

I have been searching pro and anti arguments for trinity, and found out there are anti-trinitarians who believe Jesus did not preexist before his human life. And I am thinking, it kind of makes sense.

What if Yahweh created a second Adam. He would have really been the only begotten son of God, and His firstborn.

And this would have been proof for satan that it is possible that a perfect human being can remain loyal to God, that His creation was not flawed.

If an angel came from heaven to be "incarnated" or "transferred" in a human body, that would have not proved that real humans were capable of being loyal.

But if a second Adam (Jesus) was created, wow, there was no guarantee of the outcome. That would show that God had trust in His human creation, despite everything, and that He really took a risk with Jesus.

Plus, If we think about it, in the old testament there were so many times when the second child was put before the first one. Jacob before Esau, Abel before Cain, Ephraim before Manaseh. This must have been prophetic.

And Jesus was the perfect man who was loyal to God till the end, unlike Adam. - this showed Satan that a man can be loyal and also offered the necessary sacrifice that was needed for others to be saved.

And God rewarded Jesus by not only resurrecting him, but by making him a new glorified creation. ( I also believe that the jw story that God made Christ's body dissapear and then made him appear in different human bodies to the disciples is just weird)

My personal opinion is that God created a new type of being that somehow can travel between earth ad heaven, Jesus was the first one and the other christians will be transformed in the same type of being at the rapture. And eventually I think all people in the everlasting Kingdom will be (after the 1000 years). - Speaking of "making all things new"! I think this also has to do with the sacret secret (revealed only after Acts and of which Paul says that if Satan knew, he would not have crucified Jesus) that the jw's are not getting at all - the new creation seams to them so amazing that they think it is limited in number - 144000. They are so wrong! All true christians will be like that.

So if from the first Adam we are linked by flash and he transmits us death, to the second Adam, Jesus, we can be linked by FAITH and he transmits us everlasting life! - Romans 10:9,10 and Titus 3:5 ; 2 Corinthians 5:17

I am still researching this subject. What do you think?

what an interesting find for me

by sowhatnow in

im sure to use this the next time i accidentally get sucked into an argument with someone.

im not ever understanding the idea behind any christian religion picking and choosing what they want to believe and follow, then have the nerve to claim they are right, when clearly this is obviously done.

here is a site that shows not only how bloodthirsty and evil the god of the hebrew bible was, but how more ridiculous it is for jws to follow one twisted 'commandment' about eating blood, not only reading it wrong, but then not to do all the other commandments, willingly , do they think they are ancient israelites ?

God is not unjust, for sure.

You have to remember that the world is as it is today because of Satan.

And God will be just to everyone in the end.

My thoughts on the RC 2015

by StarTrekAngel in

having endured three days of dashing attempts at further indoctrination, i feel the need to write up some of the stuff i left with.

it is just good therapy.. right away the change was noticeable in the air.

the assembly hall in la feria, tx still smells like new.

paradisebeauty

Thanks for the review!

Very interesting.

I am thinking of going a day or two ... just to see how I feel being there after everything I know ...

What's the Worst Gossip You Heard About Why You were DF'ed, Faded or Left and Never Came Back? They say "I am gay!"

by PhilsWager2 in

your going to enjoy the latest rumor i heard why i have not been to meeting for around nine months, i am a homosexual!

i was caught having a drink at one of the gay bars for business, yes people still talk business in bars.

revelation 17:4).and murderers, and fornicators (cf.

paradisebeauty

Not DF yet, but I guess there are two things they might say about me:

1. If I continue to talk about my findings about TTATT, they'll say I became an apostate

2. If I leave without saying too much, and since I am not married, they will say I found smb in the world - they are obsessed with marriage and see celibacy as some sort of sickness, anyway.

And I suppose there is 3 - both

Last study article of march study edition of watchtower

The sheep” and “the goats” are people from all nations. They will be judged toward the end of the great tribulation that will soon begin. And we know that Jesus will judge people according to how they have treated the anointed ones who are still on earth. We are so grateful that Jehovah has helped us over the years to understand this parable and the other parables in Matthew chapters 24 and 25!

Jesus described the sheep as “righteous” because they view the anointed as his brothers and because they are loyal to the anointed during these difficult last days.

The anointed have been told to preach to “all the nations” before the end. As we learn in the parable of the sheep and the goats, “the sheep” help Jesus’ brothers. And one of the best ways they can do this is to help Jesus’ brothers with the preaching work.

We feel that it is an honor to help Christ’s brothers by preaching. We also help by donating money and working hard to build Kingdom Halls, Assembly Halls, and branch offices.

So if we want to be judged as sheep when Jesus comes, now is the time to be loyal to Christ’s anointed brothers.

One hope for ALL christians - interesting video on heavenly hope

by paradisebeauty in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4n7qe6fqac4.

a short video with proof from the bible that the ones going to "heaven" are not meant to stay there forever, but just to meet jesus there (at the rapture) and be with him forever, on earth, not in heaven!.

Cofty by all I meant all who accept Jesus Christ. Belief in Christ can save anyone from death. (I am sure you know this from the Bible). But why would anyone reject the free gift of everlasting life if they fully understand the idea of redemption and that Jesus died insted of us so we can have everlasting life?

And by the way, there are christian denomimations who understand that all you need is faith, believe and confess Jesus as Lord - aka the Son of God and redeemer of mankind. - Romans 10:9

They also say that true baptism is baptism in the holy spirit that you receive invisibley when you believe. When you truly believe in your heart and accept Jesus you are born again from God. You become child of God.

And there also are some denominations that say that you can not lose your salvation, since birth can not be undone. You remain your Father's child no matter what. Plus, they say all christians are a part of the body of christ so they say the body of Christ can not be amputated.

The reason they say this is because this was revealed in the sacred secret, after the resurection of Christ, it was revealed to Paul. He is the one who talks of the sacred secret. And they say we now live in the administration of the sacret secret. Salvation is by faith and grace now, unlike the mosaic law when it was by works.

Why does the Almighty need a mediator?

by economy in

god is alike to all of his children, hence cannot elevate one child above all others just because one was brought into existence before others.

(ezekiel 18:4) someone has to be first-born which does not give him any superiority over others!

interestingly, jesus simply dismissed the whole idea of one being placed over the others as pagan.

Imagine your phone's battery is dying. A powerful nuclear reactor is near you. It's got all the energy you need but can you charge your phone from it?

No, you need a transformer.

I believe that God is such a force that people would really die if they saw God, or be in the presence as His full power. Just as God said to Moses. Noone can see me and live.

But you would expect from the creator of the universe to be so powerful!

The thing is we are humans and understand this material world where we live. The material world and the forces and energies we understand are between 3-5 % of the universe. The other 95-97% we have no idea about.

Similar with God, we say person because we are persons, and know what a person is but we can not even imagine or perceive his nature. Entity, spiritual being, inteligence. He reveald Himself to us through things we know and can understand. It is like explaining light or color to a person who was born blind.
