Did Satan Sin

by enigma1863 in

i have been thinking about basic theology a lot and the more i think about it the more rediculous it sounds.. so adam and eve died from a small sin of eating a piece of fruit.

if sin causes death why is satan not dead?

why didnt adam and eve die that very day like god said?

Thanks I stopped believing these myths several years ago and every day I find it harder to think I ever believed them. I mean did adam and eve in their short perspective know a day was supposed to be a thousand years. How do you explain death if you have never seen it before? I think according to the bible the first dead thing mentioned was Ables burnt offering. Apparently the god who hates death loves the smell of burning flesh. And the first human to die was not adam or eve but Able. So god punishes Cain by protecting him.

So the Watchtower says death is the result of sin. What is sin? Is it something only earthly beings can do?

Why didnt adam and eve die that very day like god said? Why punish a snake if it was just being used by satan? Would adam and eve have died from sinning if they ate from the tree of life first?

Is Satan still perfect if he disobeys god? Did humans make the first sin?

you can't even stand under it in the rain and being tied to one will result in a slow, painful death.

so toxic it's freaky.. .

I actually would love to see a series similar to the wt "was it designed" articles but with parasites. They so amazing horrible things to creatures of all sorts.

Thanks Julie, I was just about to post this. We need around 65 more people to confirm the date. I feel like this is local news worthy since Pittsburgh has such a long history with Jehovah's witnesses.

Fake money in contribution boxes

by enigma1863 in

someone posted a great idea i felt should have its own discussion thread.

i think it would be really cool if we could get people around the country or world to donate fake money in the contribution boxes that have thought provoking messages.

kinda like money tracts.

enigma1863

Did anyone really do this? I'd love to read about anyone's experience.
