I heard this so many times during 2020, and Lett with his 'Final Part of the Final Part, just before the Last Day'
Millions of letters going out....no increase in numbers.
6 years later and still nothing.
Covid ended up waking a lot of people up, because they had time to think. My wife woke up in 2020. Did you wake up during Covid? Or some one you knew?
He couldn't get Adam and Eve to not eat the fruit. He couldn't stop one of his main angels from turning against him. He couldn't stop his angels from breeding with men. So then he reset the world with the flood. He brings his chosen people out of Egypt, and they immediately turn on him. So he has them die off over 40 years. Then they rebel against him anyway. He has Babylon destroy them. They rebel again. He sends his son, they kill him. Then nothing for 2000 years. He chooses Russell who predicts 1879 and 1914, nothing happens. He choses his faithful slave in 1919 to guide his people to preach throughout the earth, hasn't happened yet. His slave prophecies, "Millions now living will never Die". They are all dead. Then the FDS prophecies 1925 as the end, doesn't happen. Then 1975, doesn't happen. The "Generation" has now died off. Now the preaching has pretty much stopped. Jehovah's Witnesses are now being litigated around the world, losing their charity status as well. Thousands are leaving yearly.
Jehovah has not accomplished anything. Accept for 8 million people controlled by a corporation, that makes billions of dollars in real estate.
The God of the Bible defiantly accepts human sacrifices. Jesus was one. God accepted the sacrifice.
Also there is Jephthah’s Daughter (Judges 11): Jephthah vows to sacrifice the first thing that meets him upon victory in battle, which ends up being his daughter. While some interpret this as her being dedicated to lifelong virginity, the text states he "did with her according to his vow".
Then there is (NWT) Exodus 22: 29,30 “You must not hesitate to make offerings from your abundant produce and the overflow of your presses. The firstborn of your sons you are to give to me. 30 This is what you should do with your bull and your sheep Seven days it will continue with its mother. On the eighth day, you are to give it to me.
The Abraham/Isaac story - a lot of scholars believe that, in the original story Isaac was sacrificed, then it was later changed.
Jews were never slaves in Egypt. There was no Exodus. There was no Moses.
The Flood never happened.
King Herod died 4 years before Jesus would have been born.
David was not a King.
Solomon was not a King and he didn't build a temple.
There were never 12 tribes of Israel. The Jews where Canaanites.
There was no Adam or Eve.
Hebrew originated around the 11 century BC, its not the Original language.
Soo many things that are not historical. Just tales. A people inventing their history.
Got health care for developing countries. Stop child labor in most parts of the world. Improved education and literacy. Developed vaccinations, and health care treatments. Developed a 40 (+/-) hour work week. Significantly reduced infant deaths. Brought democracies around the world. Improved communication, transportation and industrialization. Women's rights, social equity, workplace safety. Better quality of life for most people. Government services, better roads, drinking water, handling of sewage water, retirement plans / social security. Also higher life expectancy. Healthcare. Radio TV Internet. We can fly to other countries in just hours.
What has Jesus done for mankind since he returned invisibly to his thrown in 1914. Apparently he gave us Jehovah's Witnesses, which don't do anything to help their local community. He also made Watchtower rich, not the people, the Corporation. He is now building a movie studio in NY, because that's what Jesus wants. In the 112 years since 1914 Jesus has not been able to get his preaching done through out the world. Paul completed it in his time.
Satan is a far better leader than Watchtowers version of Jesus.
Hebrew all but disappeared by the 2nd century BCE. Jesus didn't speak Hebrew. Jesus and his disciples spoke Aramaic. Long after his death his words were recorded in Greek, first by Paul then the Gospel writers.
The Stories and Apocalyptic visions in the book of Daniel were written in Aramaic, showing they were written at a later time after Hebrew had disappeared.
Insight on the Scriptures/Language:
Up until some point after the global Flood, all mankind “continued to be of one language [literally, “lip”] and of one set of words.” (Ge 11:1) The Bible indicates that the language later called Hebrew was that original “one language.” (See HEBREW, II.) As will be shown, this does not mean that all other languages stemmed from and are related to Hebrew but that Hebrew preceded all other languages.
