The Myth About Jehovah as a "GOD of LOVE".

by smiddy3 in

i`ll list a few things and welcome any input, comments you may have .. 1.when adam & eve "sinned" disobeyed him, surely god could have handled it better than to condemn all future generations to disease and death ?.

2.his handling of satan who supposedly seduced eve to disobey god could also have been done a lot differently with a finality to it.. 3.i find little if anything in his dealings with the patriarchs that suggests a loving god protecting them.?.

4.taking on the nation of israel and leading them as his chosen people does not inspire confidence or trust as a god of love.. 5.throughout the hebrew scriptures / old testament his chosen people were constantly at war with other nations which of course would have meant many deaths of the israelite`s during these battles .and the grief that comes with family members in those times.

Just another example of why God is not a God of Love.

Even when Jehovah God -Christ Jesus cast Satan out of heaven [,only 6000 years after he"sinned"] proved Jehovah is not a GOD of LOVE ?

How so ?

Simply because he confined Satan to the earth .God wasn`t satisfied that he caused diseases of all sorts and death to punish humans for all of these years ,he decided humans needed Satan so he could cause more suffering and problems for humanity as if they didn`t have enough to contend with.

Why didn`t he confine him to some other distant planet in another Galaxy ? Where he couldn`t do any harm to anybody?

This is of course if you take anything written in the Bible seriously like JW`s are supposed to.

US Letter Read Sunday 4/26 at Meeting - No KH Use and No Field Service Indefinitely

by JWTom in

there was a letter read sunday at our meeting that mentioned some parts of us are starting to open back up.

however, regardless of things opening up that no kingdom halls should be used for any meetings of any kind.

also, no door-to-door ministry or any form of in-person ministry is allowed.

smiddy3

Having read these previous posts ,I would`nt be at all surprised if some very clever dude has duped some/many? congregations into thinking this is a genuine letter from the Governing Body .?

When in fact its bogus .

Well I can dream can`t I ?

I got my 6 points of the OP simply by reading the so called word of GOD ,if those experiences are not in your Bible then I would like to know what Bible you are looking at.

Have a look back again at the scriptures in the Bible that cofty posted and try to reconcile those scriptures that describe Gods acts of judgement against man woman and child and having them dashed to pieces.

If my memory serves me correct there are only about 10 individuals that can be attributed to Satan having caused their death whereas there are millions if not billions of human deaths that can be attributed to Jehovah/Yahweh God of the Bible.

A God of Love ?

I rest my case.

Do you believe that you possess the quality of LOVE?

I would leave that up to anyone who knows me and judges me by my actions towards other people.

Welcome to the forum I hope you stick around ,there is so much to learn from everybody`s input ,those of the pros and cons.

The WTB&TS have stated in their publications about Gen.1:1 that there could have been millions of years before Jehovah God turned his attention to the earth to put humans on it to populate the earth with perfect human beings .

And of course Satan through a spanner in that idea .

To whom are the JWS faithfully loyal to Jehovah or the Watchtower Corporation and the men who run it ?

by Finkelstein in

an poignant question which might make a few jws a bit uncomfortable.. the words of jesus said that no one knows of the time of his return not the ancient israelites or the first era christians and jesus admonished those who would set a time upon god's own sacred time.. words spoken by jesus that certain men failed to adhere to who self proclaimed preachers of the gospel.. the executive leaders of the watchtower corporation (gb) have said that they were the faith slave to jesus fulfilling his instructions to spread the word of the new system of things.

.

yet over the past 140 years the wts and the men who have been running that organization have been endeavoring false prophets, selling a tainted corrupt version of the gospel through the literature these men published.

smiddy3

But then again the GB /WT /FDS have stated and who can deny it that according to Jehovah`s Witnesses Jesus Christ took up his Kingship in 1914 , does the bible say that ? Is their any scripture that specifically points to the year 1914 ?

No?

Now the GB /JW / FDS claim that because Jesus was installed as King in 1914 ,he would now have been given by Jehovah the time of the Great Tribulation and of Armageddon ?

Is their a Scriptual precedence for this ? no ,of course not. And obviously the JW earthly realm have no idea when these events are supposed to take place as they have never been right once .
