In the bible it says 'Joseph, son of Israel' but then it refers to Joseph's father as Jacob. Which name should I use, and why?

all other things?

The JWs say this passage proves that Jesus is a creature, the " first-created." They argue that Jesus is the eldest in Jehovah's family of sons ( Reasoning from Scriptures, 1989, 408 )

Know that NWT subtly changes Col 1:16-17 so that it seems the first-created Christ was used by the Father to create all other things in the universe: " By means of him ( other) things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All ( Other ) things have been created through him and for him. Also, he is before all ( other ) things and my means of him all ( other ) things were made to exist " ( bracketed words from the translation )

" Thus he is shown to be a created being, part of the creation produced by God" ( Reasoning from the Scriptures 1989, page 409 )

NASB " and He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation"

In other words, I know that Persia is now Iran. But can I find out who the Edomites are, currently, for example? I know that some of the peoples have died out, but I'm looking for something that would list the tribes/nations in the Bible and who those peoples are currently. Also, I'd love to see what cities in the Bible are currently, like I know they say that the city of Babylon is located in Iraq.

Thanks!

sorry, getting all religious with my questions...was just thinking how some answerers give thumbs up for anything people say that implies satan is cool and thumbs down for answers that say anything too positive about religion or God.

I am impartial being a long time practitioner of Satanism.

Just joking. I'm Agnostic.

I recently posted a question about vampires and I just want to start off by apologizing if anyone misunderstood what I meant...

I am so attracted to the idea of vampires. I dont know if its so but in the movies and how I imagine in books they are these beautiful dark creatures who know just how you lure you in. Humans are always so attracted to them, kinda drunk on their charm.

I feel that way when I think about vampires. I want to meet one and be caught under that spell. I may sound crazy but I really have this desire.

Is there anyone out there that would ever offer that to me?

Okay, within that satire is a genuine question: how many of you had your love of science and inquiry started by dinosaur toys as small children?

I had a pack of cards with creatures from the Cambrian to Paleolithic on them that I got when I was four or five. I'd love to know where they went.

is that a joke, or is it just a way to get back at atheists for all the crazy things that Christians actually believe? (according to the Bible)

Does it really matter if you believe the world came from nothing caused by nothing or God caused it.
Does it matter if you do chants, spells, rituals and all these meditations and all these horoscopes.
Does it matter what denomination you call yourself or what classes in theology or science you took.


Or does it matter what you do in life?
Do you help the needy?
The poor?
The sick?
The disabled?

Do you help africans?
Do you help those people who can't even grow their food anymore?
Do you help those people who are homeless?
Do you help those people who are suffering?


I MEAN COME ON! Can't you stop wasting your time with these piece of crap arguements about who is right and who is wrong? Can't you stop wasting Good money on these piece of crap rituals and chanting and materials needed?
And can you stop wasting money on building bigger "church" buildings.
Can you stop arguing with people who believe in something just because you feel guilty about not helping anyone but yourself??

where one sees a big bang , another sees a God , and another sees a Goddess , and another sees just a source

where one sees creation , another sees evolution , some see both

where one sees people drowning , another sees someone doing the backstroke lol

we all see the same thing really , do we not ?
just from different angels

so what would happen , if we put all our perceptions together ?

I would like to know more about intuitive channeling and meditation. Does it help you find your purpose, does it help to release stress, if possible; can it bring you closer to God? Feels like Im missing something and wondering, could this be it? Blessings to all and thankyou in advance.
