In the somewhat newly found (2000) tablet called "Gabriel's Vision", did Gabriel (possibly an Archangel) raise Simon from the dead?
by I_love_Jeff inthe tablet has many key words missing and it is assumed by many scholars that gabriel may be the archangel mentioned here.
did gabriel raise simon from the dead as described within this tablet?
if this gabriel (on the tablet) were the archangel as mentioned in the book of enoch as well as other parabiblical literature, how does this pose a problem for those who believe archangels are not able to resurrect people from the dead?

Luke 16:19-31 Sheol/Hades/Hell? literal vs. metaphor
by I_love_Jeff injehovah's witnesses say this is just a parable and that there is no eternal punishment.
for me, i do not believe in eternal punishment even though there is a lot of information in the bible which strongly favors eternal damnation: .
the bible refers to the fate of the unsaved with such fearful words as the following: .

Luke 16:19-31 Partially metaphorical. How much of the parable is scripturally true Sheol/Hades/Hell?
by I_love_Jeff injehovah's witnesses state there is only "soul sleep" and that jesus' parable, rich man and his brothers who did not listen to moses and the prophets (vv.
29-31), represent the pharisees.
either the jehovah's witnesses' jesus made a mistake or the watchtower made a huge error.

Why didn't God disfellowship Jesus for breaking the laws of the Talmud?
by I_love_Jeff injesus loathed the talmud and broke as many of its laws as he could on any occasion that presented itself.
so if jesus broke the laws of the talmud, wouldn't he have been disfellowshipped if he did the same thing to the watchtower.
a jehovah's witness can be disfellowshipped or disassociated if he/she breaks this rule in the elder's manual: rebellion against jehovah's organization.. what say you?.

Are the Jehovah's Witnesses able to fully/completely understand the Bible on their own without being dependent on the Elders?
by I_love_Jeff ina popular jehovah's witness on yahoo answers by the name of bar-anerges says:.
can jehovah's witnesses come to a *complete* knowledge of *every* doctrine on their own?
the scriptures and practical experience prove otherwise (we believe that where individuals are isolated, god will judge them by what they do know).how true is this statement?

Is it fair to say the Jehovah's Witnesses are like that of the Pharisees?
by I_love_Jeff inpharisaic thinking is contrary to the "good news" of what jesus came to bring in himself.
pharisaic thinking and methodology is cultic thinking and methodology.
it includes extra-biblical revelation, authoritarianism, elitism, superiority, pride, exclusivism, separatism, secrecy, legalism, moral and behavioral conformity, isolationism, busyness, critical and hostile attitudes, defensiveness, self-serving, deception, proselytizing, financial exploitation, political attachments, prophetic abuse, etc.
