Ironically, while a few have speculated about the poor Jews being singled out for anti-Semitism because of our refusal to circumcise as Christians, Paul paints a picture that is quite the opposite. (Do they still make millstones?) When God instituted Old Covenant circumcision, the small incision at the tip of the foreskin was never intended to cause pain or suffering, but rather the several drops of shed blood served merely as a sign or symbol of the covenant
The Sexist Bible - Religious Criticism
Jesus observed a poor widow giving a donation and singled her out as having given more than anyone else, even though everyone else technically gave larger donations (Mark 12:41-44). but the Bible is still , currently especially in countries where Roman Catholicism is the major religion, a crucial basis for some important political and socials decisions

The True Bible Code: The Bible Code
Hebrew nouns with pronominal suffixes (suffixes which are pronouns) cannot make successive designations because they are not plain nouns (we realised this when we saw that they do not work in Genesis 16 or Numbers 12). Thus, the acrostic refers to incidents in the history of man that occur at either end of the acrostic's genealogy, and this in turn is applied prophetically to Christ
Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. Concerning the nation of Israel in a future day, the following words are recorded in Ezekiel 36:25Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you
9 Yea, I say unto you, were it not for these things that these records do contain, which are on these plates, Ammon and his brethren could not have convinced so many thousands of the Lamanites of the incorrect tradition of their fathers; yea, these records and their words brought them unto repentance; that is, they brought them to the knowledge of the Lord their God, and to rejoice in Jesus Christ their Redeemer. However, the word as used there is not used as a variant of "church," but rather appears to mean something different - usually the place of worship of a sincere but false religion
Family of Abraham
Similarly, the twelve sons of Jacob have four different mothers: the two wives of Jacob (who are his first cousins) and two other women (slave-girls of his wives). For example, Abraham's first son was the child of his wife's slave-girl; and one biblical tradition even says that his wife, Sarah, was actually his half-sister
Not even taking into account the unscriptural teachings, absurd standards and rules, and the service obligations, it is easy to see why youths would leave. He never made a rule about only accepting the worship of people who went to meetings a few times a week! I was appalled when I learned from fellow JWs about the contributions given to traveling overseers
Bible - definition of Bible by The Free Dictionary
The Old Testament books shown in italic are considered apocryphal in many Christian churches, but they are accepted as canonical in the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Armenian and the Ethiopian Oriental Orthodox Church. (capitalized) a group of 15 books, not part of the canonical Hebrew Bible, but present in the Septuagint and Vulgate and hence accepted by some as biblical

The Watchtower Files: Jehovah's Witness Teachings Examined In Light of Reason And Scripture
The purpose of this blog is to help others who are experiencing strained or broken relationships, self destructive behavior, addictions, depression, and low self esteem as a direct result of involvement in destructive mind control cults. I want you to use it to challenge your own preconceptions and to help you to understand that you, and not some nebulous hierarchy of religious old men, are in charge of your life
This again causes a problem since if Allah is indeed the same Person as God the Father then the Quran is wrong in saying that Christians believe that the Father is the third of three. God does not desire to destroy the wicked but to save them, desiring that they come into repentance: Say to them: "As I live", says the Lord God, "I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live
Defend Jehovah's Witnesses
http://defendingjehovahswitnesses.blogspot.com/Additionally, this Scripture was written about Christ when he is in heaven - not on earth - so Trinitarians cannot use the common excuse for this Scripture that he was merely a man at the time. 10 months ago Defending The New World Translation Luke 23:43 - Punctuation and the New World Translation; "Truly I tell you today,..." - On occasion, opposers of Jehovah's Witnesses attempt to attack the scholarship and honesty of the translators of the New World Translation Bible
We have already seen that He is also called the Angel of God's Presence! For He said, "Surely they are My people, Children who will not lie." So He became their Savior. "I was watching in the night visions, And behold, One like the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, And they brought Him near before Him
If I cut and paste the first three letters of Alike in the translator, the online translator will not recognize the world Alike because this word is not entered. What, JESUS CHRIST WAS ON THIS EARTH BEFORE mohammed AND THE QURAN EVEN STATES THAT AND ALSO STATES THAT JESUS CHRIST WAS A PROPHET, , IS YOUR MOHAMED A TIME TRAVELER
