I AM ...
by MOG ini did a little research (new american bible) on this, and i found that when jesus calls himself "i am" in john 8:58 and was to get stoned because he was putting himself equal to god, due because in exodus 3:14, god tells moses "i am sent you"...but in the jwbible it states this entirely different.. .
john8;58, and i am is substituted for "i have been', then in exodus 3;14, "i am" is substituted for "i shall prove to be what i shall prove to be"..i have gone through several bibles again and again..and each one is the same in this accord, but not the jwbible.. .
it makes sense that i am should be kept in place since jesus was being stoned for using that same phrase - confirmed by hurling of the stones, but then in exodus in the jw, not even the same phrase in used...inconsistent .

by memphisbelle inwhile sitting at the meeting fighting sleep last sunday, i was reading the magazine and an interesting comment came up !
page 28 heading 4:3, in what way will jehovahs worshipers tread down the wicked?

Bible question on Revelation...
by *summer* inrev 14: 3 and they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 these are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins.
these are they which follow the lamb whithersoever he goeth.

Matt 5:17-20. What does it mean to be called least in the kingdom?
by Steve J inhi folks,.
as this seems to be the only place to get my questions answered, (and i've got lots of them) i thought i'd give this one a try.. when speaking about the commandments at matthew 5:17-20 jesus said any who break one of the least of these and teaches others to that effect would be called least in the kingdom of the heavens.
does it mean there is still hope for such ones, as being considered least would suggest to me that you would still be remembered.. also, at 1 corinthinas 6:9 where the apostle paul says fornicators and adulterers, (those who break the commandments) will not inherit the kingdom is he taking a harder line than jesus and in effect contradicting him?.

Missing Bible Verses
by WTWizard inwe have all heard of whole books missing from the bible.
st augustine, when assembling the bible for his cult (which became our catholic church), took the books that he could use for threatening people with hellfire) to get them to do his bidding.
it, besides plunging man into the first dark ages, produced the 66 books that we know as the holy bible.

Biblical chronology
by Anti-Christ ini found an article on internet infidels about the 430 years the israelites spent in egypt, very interesting.
i would like to have some of your comments on it.. .
future articles will examine in detail specific examples of textual errors in the bible, so for now i will review only briefly a few of the ones that cast serious doubts on the doctrine of bible inerrancy.

Who is Allah?
by PopeOfEruke ini found it very interesting to learn on this forum about the origins of yahweh as an ancient tribal deity worshipped by the early settlers in the middle east.
but i know very little about allah, the god of islam.. does anyone know the relationship between allah and yahweh?
do both these deities have an origin in the ancient tribes from the middle east area?.
