and it came to pass, as they fled from before israel, and were in the going down to bethhoron, that the lord cast down great stones from heaven on them to azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of israel slew with the sword.. .
looks like the amorites came to the battle only wearing helmets.
Finkelstein,
I put much more emphasis on the new testament, the old testament belongs to a past covenant. But my general approach is that I believe in the power of God to do miracles. I was not there when Moses divided the red sea, but I unless the context tells me it is symbolic, I tend to take it at face value knowing that higher criticism and current scholarship make mistakes too. And yes, I am biased towards the Scriptures
i am not talking about the usual crap from the cult writings, but rather things idiots believed on their own.
maybe even helped on by the cult but not directly taught.
i knew an old man now long gone kunde in michigan.
Interestingly my father had a law degree but turned homeopath. Memories. Now I remember a brother gave a talk where he apparently attacked alternative medicine. After the talk my offended father was comforted by likeminded believers. So many believed that stuff

We can only marvel at the Sovereign will of God, The slaying of 185,000 enemy soldiers was nothing short of a miracle delievering his undeserving people.

Old paintings, especially those of crying children were bad to bring in.
all or nothing said this in a previous thread, "we were told the "identifying mark of true christians is this love among the brothers".
it was said in the thread about not being invited to things.. i have seen it many times in re: to jw's.
how do jw's handle luke 6:32 then?
They would probably say nothing could be more loving than timely discipline. Unless you are an apostate with s great hatred for Jehovah, this arrangement will coerce you to return to your loved ones, Jesus and most importantly Jehovah and his saving ark.

Well as some say, if T rex was created as a meat eater, the poor guy much have prayed and waited for the fall.. Also the purpose of dinos was to flatten the earth
maybe i`m just getting old , jesus christ was king of the jews 2,000 years ago ,he was supposed to have returned in 1879 ?
and armageddon was to have occured in 1914 ,which of course didn`t happen .. and then wt in their wisdom adjusted that belief to mean that was when he was enthroned as king to sit at gods right hand .right ?
or am i wrong here.. or was he just to sit at gods right hand until god makes him a king after armageddon .?.

I am sure Jesus is quite capable of making it look that way. He is sovereign and do as he pleases
