the new testament talks consistently of a heavenly hope, not an earthly one and the idea that humans are to live forever on earth is not supported scripturally at all.. however, what would have happened if adam and eve had not sinned.

the watchtower likes to make the point that it is only sin that caused adam and eve to die.

romans 5:12 that is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned.. what do christians believe regarding this scripture?

December 25th for Christmas from Paganism?

by cabasilas in

i know i've heard this a lot...that the december 25th date for christmas was borrowed from paganism.

i just came across this article which argues against that:.

http://touchstonemag.com/archives/article.php?id=16-10-012-v. personally, i have no problems with the idea that it could have been borrowed from paganism, but found this alternative explanation intriguing..

Sasha

Well, there was this Emporer of King or someone like that who picked the day of Dec. 25th to celebrate Christ's birthday on the calender.

Just about everyone knows by now(Including all the Theologins) that Christ was born somewhere between August and October being that the shepards were tending the're flocks. NOT IN DECEMBER!

Most Witnesses Don't Know the "Current Truth" on Matthew 5:5!

by deaconbluez in

matthew 5:5: "happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth.".

if you ask most witnesses what this verse means, they will say that it means those who are meek/mild/humble will be given the earth as a reward to live forever on.

i was surprised to find out that this is not the official watchtower teaching of that verse.

Sasha

There are soooo many scriptures the Witnesses don't interpret correctly because THEY are not the chosen. They put way too much time into indoctrination and ignoring you're questions (Or in my case lying about them). Shame

Noah's preaching--"they took no note"

by skeeder in

the bible calls noah a preacher of righteousness.

however, it gives no indication that he undertook a global campaign to warn people of a coming flood of which they 'took no note'.. in gen chap 6 god gave noah very detailed instructions about building the ark.

in 6:18 and 7:1 he gave specific instructions about who to take into the ark.

Sasha

I do believe in Noahs story, even if it is a parable or lesson, however, I believe the JW's do not have the truth. All this crying "the end is here", not quite yet. Lots of stuff has to happen in the middle east first, and that will take at least 10-12 yrs. or more
