Is the Bible truly inspired?

by MrRoboto in

so i was reading the book of daniel, starting with chapter 4 (nebuchadnezzar's famous tree chopping/banding dream where the 7 times is introduced) but i noticed that when you don't cherry pick verses and just read straight thru - it really seems like some children's book that was poorly written.

even though the borg says that this book as written by daniel, chapter 4 is clearly written by "king nebuchad·nezzar to all the peoples, nations, and language groups dwelling in all the earth" after the tree chopping business.

) of the rest of the chapters seem to be written in 3rd person (odd, if you are writing about your experiences).

Greetings!

The Bible is NOT and never has been INspired. What is scripture IS! And even that has been tampered with and warned that it would be. We were warned that some would "add to and take away" from the scroll of Revelation as well as other books that were actually inspired.

JEREMIAH 8:8

2 PETER 3:16

Which is why in our time it is best to actually listen to the true source himself, His Voice as the only Way, Truth and Life....Christ! And I don't mean " Jesus".

HEBREWS 1:1-4

JOHN 5:39-41

JOHN 10:

JOHN 14:6

Jesus is the name modern religion has given to a being that has never existed. Whose name there is no power nor in saving anyone. It is an English term that is not even close to our Saviors real name and power and energy in that name.

In the name of Jesus there has been untold bloodshed, wars, hypocrisy, hate, judgement, gross lack of love and the list goes on.

There is only One who can save! There is only One who is The Glorified Holy Spirit, whose Father is The Most Holy One of the universe..(Y) JAHveh.

His son is the true MIschaJAH (messiah) Or chosen one of JAH....JAHeshua ( or the closest in English, Joshua Yahshua.

The two most powerful beings in the universe, who loves! Truly loves us!

And our heavenly Father says to " Listen to his Son, the beloved." Listen to as he has a voice and speaks to each and everyone of us. Do we believe this? Do we have faith that he is aIive and speaks?

Peace to you all!

Confused

by confused3426 in

jw
friends

i am a newbie, and yes current jw.

i have been dealing with a lot confusion for months now.

i guess it started last year when i found myself losing my zeal, desire for spiritual things.

justmom

I am not making any major choice right now, but I need to know the truth.

Greetings dear confused,

With regard to your comment above, you say you truly "need to know truth."

We are taught in the organization that the truth is NOT a where but a WHO because we were familiar with Peter in John 6:68 when he said "WHOM shall we turn away to Lord! YOU have the sayings of everlasting life."

So Christ IS The Truth as he says it in John 14:6 " I am the way, THE TRUTH, and the life, no one gets to the father except through me."

So anyone else that calls themselves " the truth" is standing in the way as mediator between man and God. Putting themselves " in the seat of Moses."

As time goes on and conversations with boyfriend, you may start " to see" a lot of things that don't make sense as I did.

But something that I came across which was huge for me because I did not want to give up my faith in Jah was found in John 6:48-59

I was raised that only 144,000 partake. I understand if ones calling is to be a priest and king BUT the verses here in John say the invitiaion to " eat of our Lords body and drink his blood" by eating the unleavened bread and wine is for ANYONE! Not just 144,000.

That he gave his life for all mankind not just for 144,000.

Not all may be priests but all mankind needs His covering and forgiveness. He said in the verses, it is the means by which one can live forever, be resurrected, or remain in union with him. And the example we have in the Israelites in the wilderness. All ate the manna and drank form the rock mass, yet not ALL were priests. They were men, women, children, even Egyptians. ( a vast mixed great crowd)

This is something that is a huge NO-NO to JWs and it is something that I cannot NOT do!

I know how they explain it away but there are too many false teachings that are starting to unfold and this one is huge. I need a savior and I need him 24/7 so union with him is very important regardless of whether I am chosen to be a priest or not. I want everlasting life from the source of life which is Christ.

Peace!

I need some serious help

by bulldogg1877 in

jw
friends

i grew up a jw kid until the age of twelve.

since then i have lived a worldly life.

i have enjoyed alot of my life experiences, but i now feel like i am lost.

justmom

GreetIng s bulldogg,

Youve been out for a long time. You left at twelve and have lived a life outside of the organization making mistakes, learning like everyone in the world. Some mistakes are bigger than others but it's life.

May I ask, are you thinking of going back to the organization just because your at a point you regret where you are in life OR are you seriously interested in knowing " TRUTH?"

Peace!

The perfect answer if you get asked to go to the memorial

by pepperheart in

i will go next year :-) .

justmom

Well.....for me I never get an invite to my old hall. They don't want me anywhere around. But I go, and I partake. Can hear a pin drop, but ooh well!

If I claim to belong to Christ, and understand that he says, " Keep DOING THIS (not observing) in remembrance of him, why wouldn't I? Now, I don't neeeeed to do it in a kingdom hall. I don't worship with them as an XJW. But I go because of love for Christ therefore love for them, and demonstrate that he said, " ANYONE " can eat his flesh and drink his blood represented by the bread and wine. That he gave his life on behalf of ALL mankind not just the 144.000.

They are prolly one of the ONLY religions that claim to be "Christians" and yet deny Christ in this way.

Peace to you all!

What I really hate....

by Perversion of a truth in

jw
friends

is that i was born into this cult, taught and believed that i was going to live forever, , that i was never going to have to die.

now i am in my mid 30's realizing that this life is all there is and that after that i am dead forever and i am terrified.

i don't want this to be all there is, , i don't want to just live a few years on this beautiful planet and then become non existent forever!

justmom

Hello perversion of the truth.....

I am so sorry that anxiety is overwhelming you. Although you are correct in that the WTBS is a cult and they have lied about just about everything, twisting the scriptures to their own meanings / there fore destruction , but my question is how is it that you have come to the conclusion that " this life is ALL there is." That there is NOTHING beyond this life. Although the WTBS has lied to you about the understanding of the future, there still IS a future my brother. One that our Lord has promised to those that put faith IN him!

Don't give up your faith in HIM. Just give up your faith in that wicked organization.

Peace and love to you Kim.

what is the best line to say to a JW handing you an invite to the memorial

by nonjwspouse in

jw
friends

i have some ideas, but want more to choose from..

justmom

you GO everybody....

They need to be shown there is nowhere where CHRIST said there would be " observers" that were not allowed to partake. The verses in John 6:48-59 and Revelation 3:19-20 poont this out it is to and for ANYONE.

if they try and say it is only for the annointed then tell them why did the 12 NOT 11 ( judas was freaking there at the table with them) partake? Holy Spirit had not been pouted out yet therefore NONE of them were anointed....

Maybe one day, folks will figure this out and stand their grounds and partake in order to receive life as promised ( not life through an organization of men) BEFORE they " remove this constant feature/ daily sacrifice / daily covering" COMPLETELY! It's almost there.

peace and love to you all, kim

Help, got JW in home....need details on how to answer question

by skeeter1 in

"the world is much worse off today then yesterday .

.

i know the basic answers, but give me some more ammunition.

justmom

Hello skeeter....

Love and peace to you!

As was mentioned " there is nothing new under the sun". ....

The reason it feels to them ( other than what they're taught) that things are much worse is only because of the wonderful INTERNET and social media, exposure to the world at our fingertips that we can SEE and HEAR so much at one time. it has nothing to do with the fact of it being worse.

best wishes, Kim

The Bible Says the wt says.. Who should we trust?

by objectivetruth in

jw
friends

the bible says -.

john 14:6 - 6 jesus said to him: i am the way and the truth and the life.

no one comes to the father except through me.. jeremiah 9:4,5 "everyone, be on guard against your neighbor, and do not trust even your brother.

justmom

" Do not put your TRUST in nobles....nor in the sons of earthling man."

Since both the WT and the BIBLE (s) are written by man and have been tampered with.... ( false scribes/ styluses)

there is only ONE we can trust and it is how Jah speaks to us now. Hebrews 1:1-4

" God who long ago spoke by means of the prophets now at the end of the appointed times SPEAKS by means of a SON."

Since we have been told " This is my son, listen to him"... And ALL power and authority has been given him....and he says HIS sheep know his voice and listen and follow him. ( John 10) ...And he is called " The Word of God in John 1:1 and Revelation 19:13 ..and he tells us to keep asking for ears to hear and eyes to see and HE will open them and speak so we can hear.... There is no reason to trust anyone else. We see man dominates man to his own injury.

If we are told to " test every inspired utterance as they do not all originate with god then"....the voices will be from the spirit realm. SOME will be voices we are NOT to listen to ( the adversary's) and the one that is the holy spirit, Chirst, the son of Jah is the one we can trust. Test it against what he did and said..test it against LOVE....and then if you must test it against what may be written. if what is written you cannot SEE CHRIST in it.... If what is Love you cannot see CHRIST in it...then it has been changed to suit the doctrines of man and religion to control and enslave the sheep that do not belong to them. They are wolves in sheeps clothing. they do not care nor love the sheep. CHRIST already proved his love as far as death, what more can we ask for? He is willing to forgive everything as long as we listen, love, forgive, show compassion, mercy, remain humble for one another.

So my vote is to trust no one except the one Jah sent and has proven he deserves my loyalty and trust!

Love and peace to you, Kim

Jesus's reign is how long?

by Splash in

jesus was enthroned and began ruling as king in 1914, which is why the wt are currently celebrating 100 years of kingdom rule.. but then we read in the feb 2014 study wt ("hail christ, the glorious king!

" par.

19): "he will complete his conquest by abyssing satan and his demons for the full length of the thousand year reign.".

justmom

The society taught us 1,000 years only.

But it is to times indefinite as he is called our " eternal father".
