Isn't the Bible consistently what we would call "pointlessly" redundant? I can think of about 20 or thirty places, right off the top of my head.

I know. I get that way with my planes.

What!?!?! You Italians all drive sports cars... (I saw it on TV.)

You saw ours when you were down here, didn't you? Of course, ours is solid red. Go ahead and get it. Everyone should have one.

Harvest, How many people are helping you with your posts? Just about everything you say is, "We" or "Us" or "Our."

You have me chuckling with the "Orthodoxy" remark. You obviously have never read any of my posts concerning this subject.

It is not "6 out of 7" anything. It is simply the same single subject being discussed in that section of the letter. If I said, for instance: "The United States is a country of laws, and if you live in the United States, you should follow the laws of the United States as outlined in the...

The only thing is that when God had that written in Rev. 20, there were no such things as chapters and verses.

I also like this one: Psalm 23 The Passion Translation (TPT) The Good Shepherd 23 David’s poetic praise to God[1] 1 The Lord is my best friend and my shepherd.[2] I always have more than enough. 2 He offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love.[3] His tracks take me to an...

Yes, this one, #137.

Amadeus, You're serious, right? :)

Would you list them, please? I found this that might explain what you mean: "Millennium" comes to us from the Latin mille meaning "1,000" and annus meaning "year." Another term for the millennium is chiliasm which is from the Greek chilioi and means "a thousand." It may come as a surprise to...

Well, Harvest, since we live only about a half hour apart in adjacent towns, maybe we will find it convenient to get together one day to further discuss this.

No, it isn't that in particular. I just don't care to read JW stuff.

And yet, how many other verses are read in light of no other verse in the Bible. The "1,000 Years" is a good example. Mentioned only one time in the entire Bible, yet a doctrine has been built around it.

It would also be "faithful to the word of God" if I said the Bible tells us to hate our fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters. For almost anything someone wants to "prove" by the Word of God, they can find a Scripture they can interpret the way that suits their particular desire.

We are all simply lying, dishonest and angry if we do not agree with him. (Oh yeah, and I am Satan.)

So, basically, some people think one way about who wrote what, and other people think another way. And none of us know for sure.

This is, I guess, entertaining, but I am just not a JW fan.

You care to explain that remark a little?
