In paragraphs 13 & 14, pg.146 of "You Can LIve Forever in Paradise on Earth", it's alleged that Jesus' return referred to in Rev.1:7 is not visible and that He will only be seen in "..the sense of discerning or perceiving" and not literally (!). Reference is also made to those who "pierced him" as being not literal descendants of the Jewish nation that rejected & killed Christ, but rather, "..persons who, by hurting Christ's present - day followers, copy the conduct of those first - century men". As Rev. 1:7 clearly corresponds with Zechariah 12:10, how does the WT explain away the fact that the grieving one's who look on the Christ that they pierced are obviously Jews in this passage ? "And I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of favor and entreaties, and they will certainly look to the One they pierced through..". Also, the rest of the chapter refers to the mourning of specific Jewish tribes & families! Answers ?

Satan had the power to deceive all!Who played God in the garden of Eden?Adam and Eve were corrupted by Satan!Who,then,is to blame,and should pay the penalty for man's sins?The Bible is not what actually, truthfully happened,but what man thought! Man has always been able to make mistakes,even as to what God intended!All truth and knowledge come from God! Original sin is but, ignorance,not knowing God,or believing in God!No Mother or Father,who love their children, would ever send them away,no matter what they did wrong!The wages or price of sin is death! Meaning, if we sin, someday,we will die! God knows the appropriate time of our death, but we do make choices which shorten our lives on this earth! Killing for atonement was never right, but all needed to eat,and God gave us animals for food!Every biblical writing by man is a version of God's word or actions!Man has been corrupted,by Satan,and so has God's word!We would not know the truth,until end times! Please read my other questions!

reading the answers so far it seems Christians celebrate the supposed birth of their mythical saviour. But what do the rest of us celebrate?

Suppose I celebrate having a few days of work, visiting my family and seeing their joy as they open presents and feast is shared between us. It is also good to cheer ones self up in the cold dark months.

what do you celebrate?

if you choose not to be a believer, that's your business and i'm fine with it. but when you go on these message boards to spew your venom and heckle and harass people who think different than you, plus frantically try to "prove" God doesn't exist, you are showing off not only your immaturity but also your insecurity in your beliefs.

if someone told me that a 9 dollar bill exists, would i get angry, call him names, taunt him, swear, and spend so much time & energy trying to prove him wrong? no i wouldn't. because i know he's wrong.

and if you try that, "they're always trying to convert me" excuse, you can add "hypocrite" to the list of what you are. what do you think you're trying to do on these message boards?? also, if you say "people who believe in such nonsense deserve to be ridiculed" good, go over to saudi arabia and make fun of the muslims and mock their beliefs.

why can't you atheists just live and let live and keep your immature comments to yourself?
