The writer almost certainly did not expect it to become part of scripture.
2 Timothy 3:16 (New International Version)
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
If this part of the Bible was not from God then it wouldn't be there....

Originally posted by galveston75So is Jesus Christ in agreement with His father who made explicit rules which said that adulterers and disoedient children must be stoned to death?
So in your view IF Jesus didn't say something was wrong even with all the evidence that he is in complete agreement with his Father on all things .....

Originally posted by galveston75Humanity has always had 'conditions' and problems and will continue to do so. I hardly think that's evidence for Satan.
It would take a blind person to not see the condition of the world and it's many problems.
And the Bible fortold centuries ago that all the wickedness we see even more so now, is from Satan knowing he has only a short time left.
You obviously don't see that and no matter what I say will ever change your mind.
The catch for you is if you ever did ad ...[text shortened]... hat there is a Devil then you'd have to admit there is a God and that seems to be beyond you.
You continue to see the world through your JW indoctrinated glasses. I have yet to see you present a coherent case that things are more wicked than they used to be.

And how do you know this?
When was Timothy written? When was the final decision on which writings would make the New Tesament? Who decided which writings would become part of the New Testament? What happenned to the writings that didn't make 'the final cut'?

Originally posted by Proper KnobAnd I also know that no matter what I show you about anything you'll do your usual scoffing so why waist my time. So I'm letting it go and so should you. But you really do need to get a bigger grasp of this world both physical and spiritual in your mind because it so much bigger then you know. 🙂
I take it you have nothing then.
You have repeatedly made this claim for a while now, and when pressed to clarify it further you just tail off without providing anything.

Originally posted by galveston75You keep quoting all this scripture - have you ever tried thinking instead of just parroting this stuff? Or does your bible tell you not to? And it does make me laugh this holier-than-than-thou-for-thou-art-not-a-christian nonsense. Some of the meanest, most hard-hearted, miserable, selfish bigots I've met were devout christians, and some of the nicest, most generous, charitable, affable and just downright good people I've met were not. I'm pretty sure that Jesus would forgive you if he met you, but I don't think he'd agree with you.
So in your view IF Jesus didn't say something was wrong even with all the evidence that he is in complete agreement with his Father on all things and the rest of the Bible condemns homosexuality, it's ok to live that life style because Jesus didn't specifically mention it? Wow....
Perhaps this is your view of fornication which is what homosexuality i ...[text shortened]... ver to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more.

Weighty accusations are being raised by Jehovah's Witness against their own religious community. The organization protects child molesters from prosecution by legal authorities. Some of the critics are being disfellowshipped for speaking out. >>>>
