Historicity of the Prophets

by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

for many years i have sought to understand how the bible was put together.. thus my name on here.

i started out more or less in line with what many schoolars felt in both old and new testament studies and over the year my notes have flucuated with dates and probable authorship.

a few years ago i slid into minimalist or copenhagen school understanding of the texs but still retained a slight historicity of the prophets.

As has been said before history is written by the victors and maybe just maybe the Israelite's / Jews were wannabe victors.

. I say hello, and don’t even get acknowledged. I am so disappointed in all those brothers. They would rather wait for their unrealistic dilution than attempt any conversation with a full figured woman

I think that just about sums up the whole WT/Jehovah`s Witness religion right there.

Sorry Missmary but I have been married for 58 years to a wonderfull woman who I converted to the JW religion while dating her .I had only converted a year before that also as a 19 year old.

We both discovered after 32 years in the religion we were deluded by an American man made religion that was a real Estate Publishing Empire that we were volunteers for .

I wish you luck in finding a mate but please believe me there are really decent good men outside of that religion.

Don`t handicap yourself

Things that YHWH Never Told Me. Did You Know that YHWH Came from Egypt? Hmmmm!!

i belong to a group (best description that i can think of) that specialises in sharing academic papers.

ok, sometimes that provides me with all kinds of interesting material pertinent to my research interests.

but, sometimes, (and since i have not read all of it, i'm assuming its fair dinkum, genuine research) something turns up (not among my usual research interests) that blows my simple brain.. anyway, after a brief examination, my conclusion is this: i think charlie russell would have gone gaga over this research.. the author has named his paper, .

I`ll have to look at this another time ,as I`ve spent too much time on here already.

But sounds interesting.

"Our Father witcheart in Heaven" "Harold be thy name" ?

Good catch stan L

Cremation is a non Christian practice so why is it ok?

by nowwhat? in

only the pagans burned their bodies and criminals not worthy of burial were burned.

the point is they use the same type of reasoning as to why we can't do other things such as birthdays.

toasting etc.

I am an organ donor so hopefully parts of me will live on after I am gone and help someone in need .

They can do what they like with the rest of my body as I wont have any need for it.

And as has been brought out they cherry pick what they want to accept and what they want to highlight and what they choose to ignore in the Bible.

The Sin Jehovah`s Witnesses Are Guilty Of.?

by smiddy3 in

are jehovah`s witnesses guilty of committing the unforgivable sin ?.

“i am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of christ and are turning to a different gospel—not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of christ.

but even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9)

The New Testament preaches about Jesus and his kingdom ,the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

The Jehovah`s Witnesses preach about another Kingdom one that is not even mentioned in the New Testament ,and what is that ?

"The Watchtower announcing Jehovah`s Kingdom "

Are Jehovah`s Witnesses to be accursed ?

They do claim to be a Bible based Christian Religion , are they really ?

Hi buddy, you must be about the same age as me as I also have a son 58 Y.O.? And I too came to this forum about 15 years ago.

Thanks for responding

I thought this post would have got a lot of folk involved Either they haven`t seen the program or the topic just does not interest them ?

I remember many years ago a young teenage girl was very upset about what someone was saying about her on social media and it was pointed out to her to just stop looking at it ,but she couldn`t do it she had to see how everybody else was responding.?

Anybody else ?
