for Christians?
Does it mean the Great Amen is Amun-Ra, or some other Sun God from the Egyptian Pagan Pantheon? Were the "Elohim" of the bible just old references to pre Egyptian polytheistic Hebrew gods?

With all the omissions, alterations, variances, additions, uninspired myths and opinions in the Bible...are people who stubbornly maintain the Bible is the perfect word of God just trying to flex their imagined Piety?

Are these the same people who criticize other religions as cults?

because they have not been able to reach the right interpretation of the Bible the first time?

Watchtower 15, 1989, page 17
From such experience it can be seen that Jehovah God caused the Bible be written in such a way that one needs to come in touch with His human channel before one can fully and accurately understand it. True, we need the help of God's holy spirit , but as its help alsocomes from us primarily by association with the channel Jehovah God sees fit to use. "

Did God choose wrong people after all or could it be that the Watchtower Society make false claims?

I know, I'm always one for a good joke.

Why did the dinosaur cross the road?
Chickens hadn't evolved yet.

But you know what's not funny (other than that joke)? Pedophile Rape. It doesn't matter how you spin it, it's just horrible. These are real crimes, with real victims who've really been raped. STOP CRACKING JOKES ABOUT THEM.

I'm all for exposing the story, and discussing the issue, but in the name of all that you may or my not find holy, stop discussing these tragedies (whose victims continue to suffer) in any way other than with the gravity they deserve. Do NOT, whatever your proclivities may be, use these horrible situations as a "got cha!" point against Catholics. That's just sick.

To avoid this being called a "rant", is there anyone who can think of a reason why cracking a "Catholic Priest-with-alter-boy" joke would ever be appropriate?

I openly condone Santa. If you follow the Bible you know. My husband and children are not born again but I have faith they will see God's love through my behavior.

I don't believe in Christmas stockings for the tale falls back on the lie of santa.

I would like to have three boxes/trunks that I decorate with gold ribbon and in rememberance of the gifts the three wise men bestowed on him .... have a large box, a medium box, a small box .... and place those "stocking gifts" in those.

My husband will not allow me to take down the stockings. I will not fight or argue since he disagreed with my feelings on this. I will only leave the stockings and place my gifts to the children in the boxes. My children know the lie of Santa and why I don't practice it in our home. I don't like lies. I will raise honest children through Christ.

Do you think this is a good idea. My spirit says yes because this act is of a kind heart and I do not want anything that would be idolatry or a lie. Love

of Scientology, Christian Science, Mormonism, etc., but we have only a one-sided picture of Jesus. It doesn't seem fair, does it? (Noone should claim that Jesus had no faults since it is impossible to prove, and makes no sense anyway.)

they teach that the whole Bible was written only for the 144,000 referred to as the "annointed", so they do not believe it can be read and understood by average person.?

How insulting this must feel to the JWs that are not in the "annointed" group, or is it?

Well There is only one God. One Father
One son AND the holy ghost is the spirit of God and the son
because there is only one God. The son is at the right hand
of the father. So the blind man must see. That if Jesus is
the father and the son and the Holy Ghost. Then why does
Pope disagree with the apostles doctrine. Fun time is
over with. The apostles are right. I believe in the apostle way.
The apostle creed is right. Jesus(father and son) choose all twelve of them.

I found this link on another member's question. I think this "party" is blaspheming the name of Christ by uniting it with racism. Do you agree?
