1. watchtower
2. bible
there are many religious people who say they pray for holy spirit and feel better.

some who are over stressed will say they keep praying for a calm disposition until the stress and anxiety disappears,claiming it is god's spirit.

others will ask jesus into their hearts and feel an overwhelming sensation of peace and clarity.

Was the Biblical Canon Directed by God?
by Chris Tann in
1. watchtower
2. bible
this is a question a sincere christian may agonize over after learning that some books of the bible were rejected by certain early christian groups,while other books that did not make the canon were accepted.

also,when one realizes that so called inspired writers of the greek scriptures quote from apocrypha,that most christians reject today,one wonders if these writings that include these quotes should even be in the bible.. it is true that when it comes to the christian greek scriptures the canon has been closed for many centuries.

also, these books have been accepted by christians ever since the second,perhaps first,century.

Preterism
by Chris Tann in
1. watchtower
2. bible
when i started to do my research concerning ttatt, i started to see the scriptures in a different light.

one thing i noticed is that when the epistles talk about the last days, christs presence, the ressurection to heaven; the writers were speaking specifically of their time, not some two thousand years later.

even when jesus speaks of his presence and the kingdom being established, he was talking to his disciples of that time and what they were soon to expect.

To Transfuse or Not To Transfuse
by Chris Tann in
1. watchtower
2. bible
when my son became baptized as a witness at age nine, it worried me that he could now get a no blood card.

i wanted to make sure if blood transfusions were really as disgusting to "jehovah" as i was taught.

i already found out some things about my beliefs that were not true, so it wasn't hard for me to be questionable about this.. i first looked in the reasoning book under blood as to why we don't accept transfusions.
