This isn't meant to be a thread about King James Cronyism its not about buying a kindle book its from a site where i find some pretty good reading information and today i found this..
The Certainty Of the Words
Introduction
On a given Saturday, a Jehovah’s Witness (JW), dressed all dapper, and distinguished in bearing, approaches the front door of a house outside of a large Midwestern city, rings the bell and awaits opportunity to enlighten whatever soul opens the door to his version of the “truth” regarding the coming kingdom. His sidekick and visitation partner is there to observe how it is done.
As happens only so often, the JW this particular morning does not encounter the mere vapid, religious zombie who only knows what he is supposed to believe, and not why. The doorbell is neither altogether ignored after a quick, flickering movement of the curtains, nor is it slammed shut in the middle of the JW’s oft-rehearsed spiel. Further, the prospective convert does not stand with glazed-over eyes, shuffling feet and wistful glances over his shoulder at the beckoning recliner and a ballgame that is about to start.
No, instead of enduring further polite verbal skewering, the homeowner sallies forth and interrupts the JW elder’s post-introductory procession of words, by announcing himself a born-again, Bible-believing Christian. He further disrupts the flow by informing the visitors that since he already knows what they believe down at the Kingdom Hall, he might as well cut to the chase and say outright what the issues at hand are. He then relates that he has already fully investigated those matters, and there are reasons that he could never come to an agreement with such doctrine.
He takes a short breath, giving the lead JW just a moment to adjust his tie and steal a glance at his now slightly wide-eyed partner-in-heresy. Unfortunately, the breath doesn’t take long enough to allow him to jump in and regain the initiative in the conversation.
The Bible thumper proceeds to tell them that: 1) Hell is a real place that burns hot with God’s wrath even on this fine Saturday morning, that Pilate has been there for 2000 years in torment and that the folks in today’s obituaries are only beginning an eternal nightmare. 2) The Bible proves that Jesus Christ was literally God manifest in the flesh, quite unlike the JW idea, which was hatched by Origin and his buddies; and 3) Further, the blood of Christ shed for sinners was, thus, God’s very blood; and only the blood of Jesus Christ…cleanseth us from all sin – and that completely by faith!
His timing all ruined, and disinterested now in continuing pursuit of such a theologically hardened yet well fortified aggressor, the still distinguished Arian frankly concedes that it does appear unlikely that he and his visitation partner will ever be able to come to any real agreement with the homeowner. So being willing to courteously disengage, he only wishes to say that the Bible-quoting saint should be aware that a great deal of truth is to be found in the Greek originals which is not contained in the fundamentalist’s old outdated Bible. Naturally, it would be best if the born-again guy would come to some Kingdom Hall meetings to find out what the bible really says...
