Once again, no mention that the “greatest apostle” Paul was wrong about the timing of The End. It’s always an apologetic move to mention Henry Miller, but keep Paul clean of being wrong, too. It is noncontroversial biblical scholarship (outside of Evangelical fundamentalist circles) to say Paul wrong predicted The End would arrive in the 1st century. The most blatant failed prophecy is in 1 Thessalonians where Paul writes in a letter to a church: “After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.” We who are still alive! All those “we” are long since dead. Paul was just as wrong as Henry Miller & Harold Camping.

You are right on the mark, there, Zeke. I didn’t even think about the bible verse. I was thinking more along the lines of the folks that came after who interpreted it. It’s all just a little bit nuts.

Charles Taze Russell certainly DID say plenty about both 1874 and 1914, and printed it in the pages of the Watchtower. Defending your idol will not change the facts, we all know you worship Russell. What he said is in print, many of us have the books and/or reprints of the magazines or screenshots to prove it. Denying it does not change the facts Ronald. “We see no reason for changing the figures-nor could we change them if we would. Thev are, we believe. God’s dates, not ours. But bear in mind that the end of 1914 is not the date for the beginning, but for the end of the time of trouble.” -1894 Watchtower July 15th pg. 226 Surely there is not the slightest room for doubt in the mind of truly consecrated child of God that the Lord Jesus is present and has been since 1874.” (W.T.Pg.5, Jan.1,1924)

We need God to exist
because we do not recognize Existence itself.

Scientific Pantheism February 6, 2018 @ 8:33 amI made this video to raise the question of how we approach the idea of divinity. Alan Watts makes an interesting statement on “god.” As Scientific Pantheists, we tend to approach this idea metaphorically. What is your approach to “everything is divine?”

Zachary Hayes replied
Great video Connie. I like to avoid calling it literal or metaphorical, because I think when we’re talking about transcendental ideas we’re being as literal as we can be with the limits of immanent language. For instance, when we say something like “red is hot” and “blue is cool”, we’re not literally saying color feels a certain temperature, but…[Read more]

I believe what I believe because of “Occam’s razor” and scientific observations.
Scientific observations yield data and that data, according to Occam, should be interpreted by the simplest explanation possible, until some reason exists to make it more complex.
