Why are the human judges of Israel going to "die like Adam"?
by I_love_Jeff inmany jehovah's witnesses and other christians believe that psalm 82 is referring to human judges.
my question is this: .
how is this a form of punishment if in fact these are merely human judges who were already going to die?

How did we get from singular ha-Elohim (God) to plural ha-Elohim (judges)?
by I_love_Jeff inread exodus 22:6-8
jps tanakh : 6 when a man gives money or goods to another for safekeeping, and they are stolen from the man’s house if the thief is caught, he shall pay double; 7 if the thief is not caught, the owner of the house shall come near (נקרב) to god (האלהים) that he has not laid hands on the other’s property.
8 in all charges of misappropriation pertaining to an ox, an ***, a sheep, a garment, or any other loss, whereof one party alleges, “this is it” the case of both parties shall come before god (האלהים): he whom god (אלהים ) declares guilty (ַיְר ִשי ֻףן) shall pay double to the other.

Are the Jehovah's Witnesses allowed to check a source if it leads to apostate literature?
by I_love_Jeff inin this link (http://defendingjehovahswitnesses.blogspot.com/2013/11/walter-martins-kingdom-of-cults-amounts.html) you will find an article written by bar_anerges (jehovah's witness and most likely an elder.
popular on yahoo answers and else where..) in the article he quotes from an apostate named james penton (see link below).
is it possible for jehovah's witnesses to peruse penton's work without putting their relationship with jehovah in jeopardy?

How long will Paradise remaineth? Does Genesis 8:22 give us some kind of inidication?
by I_love_Jeff inwatchtower 6/15/1953 pg 371 though their annual periods were not calculated to the fraction of the day, there was no mistaking the seasons of the year, since jehovah had said, while the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.gen.
although jehovah's witnesses believe that paradise earth will remain forever, why does there own watchtower library 2014 software state otherwise?.
original word: part of speech: substantive; adverb accusative; adverb.

New NWT deception at Genesis 8:22 to indicate earth remains forever.
by jwfacts ini could not find mention of this before.
i was reading genesis 8:22 in the niv and was surprised i had never noticed that this verse gives the impression that the earth will not remain forever.
genesis 8:22 stated by god after the flood, when promising to never again destroy all living creatures.. as long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.

Has Eternal Life become a carrot?
by I_love_Jeff inin the insight on the scriptures volume 2 pages 248-249 the society says, "so with obedient mankind, when man's last enemy, death, is brought to nothing, there will be no sin working in their bodies to bring death.

If Adam and Eve were perfect, why did their immortality have to be sustained by the Tree of Life?
by I_love_Jeff init was access to this tree that kept adam and eve in a "perfect" state.
that is why they were kicked out of the garden.
actually, they may not have found the fruit at the time of their expulsion.

Did the Ancient Jews follow into the footsteps of their captors regarding the afterlife?
by I_love_Jeff injob 14:22but his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.. physical sensation after deathwas it not the opinion of the ancient jews that the soul retained somewhat of the sensation of the flesh until the body had entirely dissolved?
it would not be strange if such were the fact, considering the proximity of the jews to the egyptians; since the egyptians held the notion that the continuance of the souls existence depended upon the preservation of the bodily organism, a notion which led to the embalming and secure burial of the corpse.
tacitus distinctly ascribes this notion to the jews as its originators.

Does forever mean forever?
by I_love_Jeff in1 chronicles 28:9 "and you, my son solomon, acknowledge the god of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the lord searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought.
if you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.
is the word "forever" literal or figurative?
