| - The Bible, Koran, Torah, the Vedas, and the Watchtower are not the only "channels to truth."
- How can eternal life be 'good news'? What would you do with yourself? The first thousand or so years may be fun, but what about the billion after that. And the billion after that. And it just goes on and on and on. Doesn't rarity increase value? A finite life is a meaningful life.
*Note: This episode on truegod.tv here has this scene in Time Square. The shorter version of the episode on YouTube leaves out this and a few other scenes.
- This episode is primarily all covered by James White, and a bit of Ravi Zacharias. Ray and Kirk play a very minor role, so much that it seems that this was not meant to be their show.
- The Bible says a lot of things but none of them has any evidence to support it's extraordinary claims - or is shown to be scientifically completely incorrect.
- Even though they were acting, notice Ray did not even say "god bless" when they departed.
- Ceasing to exist can be seen as a punishment that lasts forever. Incidentally what about people who can't easily lead a good life due to some types of brain damage? Is punishing them just?
- And IC will "smooth in" to double check to see if WOTM are presenting a logical and honest case. Based on past reviews of WOTm, we will not be holding our breath.
- The bible is contradictory, sometimes it talks about salvation through grace and other times it talks about salvation through works. There is no one definitive proper interpretation. Fortunately there is no reason to take the bible more seriously than other books of ancient mythology.
- What does reality and the actual evidence say about Hell? Answer: It does NOT exist!
- Ray, Kirk etc. are quite correct, the Watch Tower bible and other Watch Tower publications are all the work of fallible human beings. If Ray Comfort had any sense and any real humility he would see that he is also a fallible human being and his own bible interpretation is also fallible. Nowhere in this video or anywhere else does Ray Comfort show any sign of recognising that his bible or his interpretation of the bible may be fallible or inaccurate.
- Picking on people who do not know all the answers and then blaming them for not knowing the answers is typical of how Ray Comfort operates.
- Many Witness teachings and narratives present the resurrected Jesus as having a physical body, so it's not quite true to say they don't believe in the physical resurrection. At best, their literature is inconsistent and their doctrine is unclear. The neutral BBC confirms some of what Ray says on The beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses.
- "Another source also claims that JW's believe Jesus is Michael. http://4jehovah.org/jehovahs-witness-archangel.php
- Thankfully, some of us have not encountered a Jehovah's Witness knocking on our doors.
- "We cannot just pick and choose what we look at the New Testament" - some advice that is completely ignored by Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron, James White, and virtually all Christians. The Bible has a large record of manipulation, forgery, interpolation, and such. So much change that perhaps we do not have any of the real words of Jesus or his disciples .
"We know virtually nothing about the persons who wrote the gospels we call Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John."
-Elaine Pagels, Professor of Religion at Princeton University.
"The question must also be raised as to whether we have the actual words of Jesus in any Gospel."
-Bishop John Shelby Spong.
White in this piece talked about Titus and 2 Peter, what he does not share is that these two books were not written by Paul or Peter, rather they were written by forgers. This means these books were written under false names, thus lying to their audience.
