The Greek Word Parousia! How should it be trasnslated?

by wannabe in

the greek word parousia!

how should it be translated?.

i say, that because it can be applied to presence; which the governing body who does have an ax to grind, would jump on; and apply it, as they have to the thirteen occurrences, where it appears in their new world translation bible.. as i said, it can be applied to their teaching that the christ was invisibly present in the year 1914, but according to the information i found, that application is incorrect.

presence...coming...

I am not a scholar, at all

but that I can understand when I study the Bible...

2012 Prophecy

by brotherdan in

now, i know that the 2012 issue has been blown out of proportion.

and i know all the reasons that believing in them are wrong.

but has anyone else noticed a growth in this type of conversation?

Don't get me wrong I DO NOT believe in the 2012 prophecies. And I hope you were joking in your post and the link, wantingtruth.

you are welcome , bd.

also me , I do not believe in the "2012 prophecies"

instead, I believe YHWH's word which is truth

and, when I speak truth , I do not joke

Brotherdan,

God didn't tell us when the end of this world will be ,

but through Biblical chronology found in inspired prophecies, He tells us when certain events - taking place within His people, during the "latter days"- will be , I mean, events that marks Christ's "coming"

and around 2012 a certain event will be , that is , the "70 years of Babylon" will come to end ,

and His worshipers with "spirit and truth" , who were/are prisoners in Babylon (and at the "Daughter of Babylon" ) will be made free and gathered in "one flock" under the Jesus Christ authority

see Jeremiah 29:10-14

for those "studious" Christians I recommend this theme

VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION!!!!

by brotherdan in

jw
friends

so i was talking to one of my "apologist" friends, and he just got back from a mormon outreach mission in utah.

he was able to help a 17 year old mormon girl to begin to see the truth and was really excited about it.

he goes to these temple conventions and temple openings all the time to preach jesus to them.. so he was interested in doing that at a jw convention.

welcome, brotherdan !

Can you think of a scripture that best describes the WTS

by wasblind in

2 timothy 3:7.

"always learning and yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of truth.

".

wantingtruth

The leaders of WT fit right the "daughter of Babylon's way of thinking described in Isaiah 47 !

read it .

There is a man claiming to be both Jesus, Yahweh, God and Christ

by Kosonen in

on you tube i found recently a man who claims to be both jesus and yahweh and god and christ and he wants to rule the world as foretold that christ would.

Oh , Kosonen !

what are you looking for ?

here is the one in Russia

but I think you are worshiping Father "with Spirit and with truth" , and in this case these ones are not so dangerous ...

... as are the ones (false Christs ) sitting on the "seat of Moses" ... within God' people , settled themselves even "as god in the Temple of God" !

These ones represent the real danger for Jesus brothers !

I hope you understand , dear friend .

Do somebody know what Russell taught about Babylon the Great?

by Kosonen in

i once looked into an old publication in the kingdomhall library and found what russell taught to be babylon the great.

i remember that it was not what the watchtower explains today, the world empire of false religion but it was something else.

but i do not remember the expanation.

wantingtruth

Nice to hear again from you, Kosonen !

By the way , have you consolidate your view/understanding regarding who/what is BTG during the "latter days" period of time ? (I said during the latter days , and not all the time from apostles until today )

Christian Greetings , Kosonen
