Was Jesus really without sin?
by Terry in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
he violated the sabbath law and he saved a condemned woman from being stoned in compliance with the law.. does it matter he had scruples and self-justifying theological arguments?.

would those arguments have saved anybody else from being put to death?.

technically speaking (the letter of the law) could we truly speak of jesus as really without sin?.

JWs Don't Believe in Hell...but they DO Believe in Pain & Torture!

i remember being a pioneer and telling people how stupid they were for believing in a "burning hell.".

the analogy they told us to use was..... "if you had a small child and they were bad could you take that child and put it's hand over a flame and burn it's flesh and hold his hand there....dispite his screams and his pain?".

of course the answer was always...."no".

i've always noticed that when jw's, my inactive hubby included, notice someone is christian, they hate it.

they roll their eyes, snort, or make snide remarks.

i really pissed me off once when my mom in law told my hubby that if she had known why the older ladies wanted to by some of her plants for, she wouldn't have sold them to them.

the connection between thinking and acting; belief and behavior is a vital link; mostly because what we do constitutes our life moment to moment.. we are caught in a flowing rush we cannot escape as though tossed into a raging river.

i am talking about your life.

you cannot escape time and the inexorable movement of events around you.
