  Jehovah loves "even rounded numbers" or could this be a way to disprove the inspiration of the Bible?

  by notjustyet in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  while i am not able to recall them all at this time, i remember so many instances that when a number was quoted in the bible, especially large numbers, they were all "rounded up" to the nearest hundred or thousand.

  for instance the angel killed 185,000 syrians, not 184,879. sampson killed a thousand men with the jawbone of an ass, not 961. and on and on on the even rounded numbers.

  i would guess that it could be agues that these numbers were correct but is that realistic?

  We know the Jws believe that each bible writer was inspired to write down the words in their book as it was somehow bestowed upon them via holy spirit.

  Sure?

  So why Luke made a mistake?

  *** it-2 p. 130 Judas ***
  Luke’s presentation of this incident evidently is not in strict chronological order, for Judas had definitely left by the time Christ commended the group for having stuck with him; that would not fit Judas, nor would he have been taken into the “covenant . . . for a kingdom.”—Lu 22:19-30.

  (Luke 1:3) 3 I resolved also, because I have traced all things from the start with accuracy, to write them in logical order to you, most excellent The·ophʹi·lus,

  So JWs believe, that the logical order is inspired, but not the chronological order.
  So happy to be awake. :-)

  by bats in the belfry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  concise thoughts from the wtbts.

  par.2) however, there are numerous situations for which the bible provides no specific command.. par.3) in the absence of specific laws, how can we know what choices will please jehovah?.

  par.16) many matters could be decided one way or another, and jehovah would still be pleased.. .

  ... or this WT:

  w13 3/15 p. 7

  „For Those Loving Jehovah, “There Is No Stumbling Block”

  § 19: Sadly, over the years some have let the imperfections of others knock them out of the race. Differences in viewpoints in matters of conscience have become stumbling blocks for them. (1 Cor. 8:12, 13) If someone offends us, will we allow this to become a major issue? The Bible admonishes Christians to stop judging, to forgive others, and to avoid insisting on personal rights. (Luke 6:37) When you face a possible stumbling stone, ask yourself: ‘Am I judging others based on my own preferences? Knowing that my brothers are imperfect, will I let someone’s lack of perfection take me out of the race for life?’ Love for Jehovah can help us be resolved not to allow anything another human does hinder us from crossing the finish line.

  blondie’s highlights from the july 17, 2016 wt study (2016) (how do you make personal decisions?.

  Paragraph 5
  Stumbling others is brought in, even if in a congregation of 99, one says they will be stumbled (reason unclear or ridiculous) the 99 must give in to the one. Elders will tell you that there is one that could be stumbled but you cannot talk to them about it, they will be nameless or in many cases nonexistent being used by the elders to manipulate others.

  Another point for this ist, that ONLY the R+F could stumble others.

  The Governing Body false teaching about 1975 stumbled a lot of JWs. But every JW would say, that a JW can only stumble by himself - if he is weak. A JW could not be stumbled by the Governing Body.

  @ blondie

  Thanks for your WT study this week :-)
