    The Flood & Worldwide Festivals of the Dead — the connection.

    I’ll have to take your word on that as there is not much more information on it. I doubt the above citations were nonsense and it is possible your interpretation is wrong. That does little to occult the fact that the flood myth is so pervasive in earth’s mythology around the world in all...

    The Flood & Worldwide Festivals of the Dead — the connection.

    Having not read the Book of the Dead I did a little google research. Actually the references to the flood in the Book of the Dead were not that hard to locate doing about a 30 second search: In his commentary on Genesis, Skinner notes that in 1904 Edouard Naville claimed to have found fresh...

    The Flood & Worldwide Festivals of the Dead — the connection.

    List of a select number of flood legends from around the world (there are actually dozens more). Notice the origin of the flood legend and the story it is found in. Flood Legends Samples from six continents and the islands of the sea; hundreds of such legends are known Australia - Kurnai...

    Justifying the belief in hell.

    There is no love in a place of torment. There is no justice in eternal torture. The notion that God has a place like it is grotesque and evil. In the first book of the Bible we are told that God created the heaven and the earth in the beginning. At the end of the same chapter it says: "After...

    Was Jesus a Mystic and Pantheist

    I see what you're getting at. My mind was taking me to the idea of many gods, but pantheism is the belief of an impersonal God. The same line of reason would apply. In John 17 you can clearly see Jesus Christ praying to Jehovah God whom he considered to be very real and very personal. I would...

    Why should you not be able to question religious belief?

    Just one more thing. That this faith is from God and is a miracle, and true believers in Jehovah God and his son Jesus Christ are so not by anything they themselves do but by God's mercy and God's drawing of them is seen in what Jesus said to Peter: "Jesus asked his disciples: “Who are men...

    Why should you not be able to question religious belief?

    I just want to add there is a way to God. And that is by loving Jesus Christ. As he himself said: "In answer Jesus said to him: “If anyone loves me, he will observe my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him. 24 Whoever does not love me does not...

    Why should you not be able to question religious belief?

    I don't mind questions asked in sincerity. Because that means the person is a thinking person and wants answers. Which is logical and right and good. But there are questions made with the intent to stir up trouble and cause fights and with no intention of getting answers, these should be...

    Was Jesus a Mystic and Pantheist

    You are taking this out of context. As Jesus himself said this was written in the Law. Here is the quote: "I have said, ‘You are gods, All of you are sons of the Most High. 7 But you will die just as men do."-Psalm 86:6, 7. Actually if you look at the beginning of that Psalm it says: "God...

    Jehovah Witnesses

    Ok. So you are given proof, in fact in the United States Branch, the Jehovah's Witnesses are 99% vacinated, and you say "many of them are anti-vaxxers." The evidence isn't enough for you. You just continue to lie like sewage running through a well watered machine.

    Jehovah Witnesses

    I would like to take the time to share with others exactly what I am talking about. See here this person is calling Jehovah's Witnesses "anti-vaxxers". This is a out an out lie. Please don't censor me for saying this. Last person spewing lies and I called him on it I was censored for it. From...

    Jehovah Witnesses

    For the record I provided a bounty of evidence above. So your very question to begin with was loaded and dishonest, insinuating none had been provided. Now what does it mean when one resorts to dishonesty to try and prove a point, or when they ignore the bountiful evidence to the contrary?

    Jehovah Witnesses

    Perhaps you would say the same about Jesus. Yet what he said still holds true that “wisdom is proved righteous by its fruits.” If you haven’t, get to know them. Go to the Kingdom Hall, right now Zoom meetings. See what they say, how they live their lives. Read their publications for yourself...

    Jehovah Witnesses

    A person is not considered guilty until they prove their innocence. It is the other way around. In fact by constitutional law a person does not need testify in a trail against themselves. Just as it was in the days of Jesus, when that illegal Sanhedrin trial that convened in the night to condemn...

    Jehovah Witnesses

    The history of Jehovah's Witnesses from its start in the United States was done with persecution from the State usually at the behest of the Church. In it's early years the United States tried banning their preaching work, throwing the prominent members of the group into prison on trumped up...

    Where was Jesus Buried.

    There are a plethora of reliable sources talking of the relationship the Romans had with the Jews. I can do the research for you, but as you have shown today, that research will only be ignored by you, and lead to more pointless and baseless statements without any validity.

    Where was Jesus Buried.

    The Jews had the Romans hang Jesus on a stake. In Jerusalem, well outside the walls. Even King Herod and Roman governor Pontius Pilate respected the religious practices of the Jews. That was the custom of the Romans.

    Where was Jesus Buried.

    Not true. It was not Jewish custom to leave body hanging until the evening. And the next day was the Passover. It was against Jewish custom to leave the body up. And the Romans accepted Jewish custom and religion. "“If a man commits a sin deserving the sentence of death and he has been put to...

    Where was Jesus Buried.

    Actually the very scripture states this: "While they were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests all the things that had happened. 12 And after these had gathered with the elders and had consulted together, they gave a considerable number of...

    Jehovah Witnesses

    Here is another resource. This time a member that was right in the headquarters through the beginning years, an autobiographical look at the early years that you say have been glossed over. It is a great read. This one I also read several decades ago. And recommend it it's entitled Faith On The...
