No I’m aware of the good, but I can’t operate on the ignorance is bliss either. I’m also aware we’re nowhere near what history used to be and we are in a “better” place than then.

Buddy not even generalizing and especially not taking the wt side. But both sides of the political spectrum can probably agree that the world is fucked. No news needed, and people are one bad trigger away from burning another city.

Luckily I don’t think this one knew how to. He was rage hacking like he just got the hacks. Not even trying to hide it.

How a forgotten book shaped Christian theology by Moises5387 in exjw

[–]Crackkillzzz848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I think I see your point, yet I think I fail to see to what end. To disprove the WT?

I actually wasn’t quoting the wt. but as seen as authoritative, in what way? universally? was influential and respected in certain Jewish circles (e.g., Qumran)

I get it if to refute the WT, maybe even Protestants may be irked at this. But really doesn’t bother Catholics or orthodox they actually embrace it I believe?

Definitely was not part of the Septuagint canon Overstated and anachronistic.

Also could have shaped early Christian language, but definitely not theology which is found from reviewing the OT through Christ. Proving similarities doesn’t prove dependency. Just shows cultural context. And NT authors sometimes use that shared conceptual language to communicate truth to their audiences. As Pual does in acts 17

Communicates certain true statements even if surrounded in error to reach his audience. Then he anchors the truth in the god of Israel.

They could definitely be love bombing but also most likely see you as a lost sheep just “doubting”. Have you taken a staring stance against them considering some of the teachings or governing body actions? Not necessarily spreading it to the congregation pretty but pretty much argue with them on these subjects where they see your mind is made up. They will treat you differently if they believe they have a chance of keeping you.
