Q & A on Jesus and God. The real TRUTH.
by apostate man in23. if jesus is the first and the last, why did god say in isaiah 44:6 that he was the first and the last?
matthew 1:20 says that the holy ghost was the father, while romans 15:6, ii corinthians 11:31, and ephesians 1:3 say that god was the father.
51. does the bible say that jesus was god with us?

Atheist Myths
by cellomould inexcerpts from http://www.hdiweb.com/atheism/html/atheist_myths.html .
as i have said many times before, the purpose of this column is not to promote the us vs. them mentality against the theists, rather to promote understanding and tolerance.
however, we all know that many theists are so closed-minded about us that they wont even talk to us, let alone try to understand us.

The Bible is a Deck of Cards
by IslandWoman inthere are a variety of playing cards and a variety of games to play with them.. the bible's canon was selected with as much care and selfish intent as the makers of playing cards have when choosing their particular design or theme.. the "hebrew" canon was decided by a nation comdemned by jesus.
they picked the design.. the "christian greek" canon was decided by men who had left the teachings of the christ.
they also picked the design.. the whole thing is a sad joke.

Forty Days Motif
by JosephAlward inafter the flood which lasted forty days, it seems that there were an unusual number of bible events lasting exactly forty days.
there are eighteen separate events of duration greater than ten days, and 61% of the time the event lasted exactly forty days.
only seven of eighteen events did not last forty days [1], while the other eleven lasted forty days [2].

No soliciting = Solicit, only if you're a JW!
by Preston inwhen i was an active jw in the field ministry, i was timid to the usual "no soliciting" sign and it was always an elder, or a po, or a c.o.
who reminded me to not skip the house (which i did) with a "no soliciting" sign out front because the field ministry was not the same thing as soliciting (of course we're not soliciting members for our church, we're just warning you that if you don't become a member of our religion you're toast!
) i was a rather timid witness, so didn't care if they joined the religion or not, but i never did liked the reasoning that was put into preaching to people who had conspicuously placed "no soliciting" signs (you know, maybe thay don't want anyone who they don't know knocking at their doors anyway).
