Disowning the God of the OT is not an Option
by cofty init's to their credit that many modern christians prefer the jesus of the gospels to the god of the old testament.. ot god is an embarrassment.
i am not going to list his multitude of moral crimes here but my personal favourite is his brilliant idea that a girl who is raped must marry her rapist.
it's not his biggest crime but it demonstrates a disregard for human feelings that is beyond the comprehension of every moral person.

I was "totally" stopped in my tracks by an "atheist" comment.
by booker-t ini must admit i can at times be a little "egotistical" when it comes to knowledge and the bible.
i have studied the bible for so long and have always had a passion for the bible as a jw and as an ex-jw.
i guess that is all i have left when it comes to religion and as humans we do tend to stroke our egos.

Pope Francis's view on ABORTION can end all discussion on abortion!
by abiather indefence of unborn life is closely linked to the defence of each and every other human right.
it involves the conviction that a human being is always sacred and inviolable, in any situation and at every stage of development.
human beings are ends in themselves and never a means of resolving other problems.

Why do humans suffer
by StephaneLaliberte inwhile talking with my wife, it occurred to me that the jws idea of why humans suffer doesnt make sense.
the idea is that humans suffer so as to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that they cannot rule themselves.. now, the bible states that satan is the ruler of this world.
so just how letting time pass by supposed to answer the question about the humans ability to govern themselves when they dont govern themselves?

A Jesus question...
by zound inthis is directed to believers in jesus.. if jesus existed, and did the miracles he did - quite openly and in public - and spoke the words he spoke, words that echo through the centuries and supposedly have the power to change peoples lives today just by reading them.... ...why is it that so many people in the time of his presence on earth, who saw the miracles, heard the sermons - heard the very voice of the son of god - why were so many less than impressed?
why did many experience all that and then conclude "messiah?
nah i don't think so.".

Isn`t the scripture at Rev.12: 12,13 Pointless ? " Woe for the earth...because the Devil has come down to you having great anger...."
by smiddy indoesnt the bible clearly show he has always been on the earth causing trouble and havoc ?
onwards.. then especially with the account in the book of job.. not forgetting his tempting jesus in the wilderness.. being reinforced in 2cor.4:4 "...the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of unbeleivers...".
all of which occurs on earth with humans , so whats the big deal about rev.12:12,13 ?.

What's your reading of Matthew 19:28 ?
by EdenOne inmatthew 19:28: "and jesus said to them, "truly i say to you, that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the son of man will sit on his glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of israel.
" (nasb).
the context shows that jesus was talking to his twelve apostles.
