About the author

My name is Paulo Vicentini, I am a Jehovah's Witness baptized in 1996.

Recently (16/03/2012) I exposed to the brothers in faith the reasons why I believe that the teaching about the year 1914 as the beginning of the presence of Jesus Christ is not in harmony with the Scriptures.

The reasons and concepts can be found in articles of this site.

Such exhibition of my personal ideas, which I consider biblically grounded, resulted after trial of a judicial committee, in my removal from my position as an elder, as well as the loss of all privileges in the congregation.


Update: After another judicial committee on July 18 2012, I was excommunicated from the congregation (disfellowshipped)

My dissertation about a future parousia or presence can be found:

Sobre o autor do site

Meu nome é Paulo Vicentini.

Em março de 2012, "os céus se abriram para os meus olhos".

De modo que  (16/03/2012) expus publicamente para vários pessoas as razões pelas quais considero que o ensino a respeito do ano de 1914 como sendo o início da presença de Jesus Cristo está em desarmonia com as Escrituras.

As razões expostas encontram-se nos artigos desse site.

Tal exposição de minhas ideias pessoais, as quais considero fundamentadas biblicamente, resultou, após julgamento de uma comissão judicativa, na minha remoção do cargo de ancião, bem como na perda de todos os privilégios na congregação.

A dissertação que apresento nesse site é em relação a uma futura presença de Cristo.
Tal dissertação refere-se a uma consideração analítica dos meus argumentos fundamentados nas Escrituras.
Caso o Leitor tenha uma refutação lógica e fundamentada nas Escrituras dos argumentos usados em minha dissertação, eu peço por favor que exponha seus contra-argumentos.

Atualização: Dia 18 de Julho de 2012 passei por outra comissão judicativa (tribunal local) e fui excomungado da congregação.


Obrigado

Studying the Bible as an Open Source Project

        Studying the Bible as an Open Source Project

Proverbs 11:14 When there is no skillful direction, the people fall; but there is salvation in the multitude of counselors.

A Knowledge database is a repository of dynamic information about a particular subject. It can often be seen as a mapping of Problems and Solutions, Questions and Answers.

We learn by increments and decrements and that is one of the reasons we should have a database reporting all our developments in relation to a specific knowledge or idea.

Any institution that seeks accuracy of its knowledge and projects strives to maintain a knowledge base or history of its developments.

We need to register not only the successes but also the errors or “bugs” in order to increase experience and wisdom.

It is a sort of "logbook". All major projects in all kinds of knowledge are kept in a Knowledge databases. For instance, in the area of software:

http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html

http://www.jboss.org/contribute

http://openjdk.java.net/projects/

One special feature of such projects is the fact that they are open source. This means that anyone can contribute to it. It is Open for anyone.

The author of this site adopts the same methodology in the analytical study of the Scriptures: it is public and open to anyone.

The aim of this paper is to examine the Scriptures under the scrutiny of logic, considering the Truth found in the Bible as an exact science

So keep in mind these two premises while contributing:

• There can be NO contradictions (1 Timothy 6:20)
• There must be NO interpreted twofold (Ezekiel 12:24)

We aim to model the Scriptures as a relation or function uniquely or accurate.

As the Scriptures is a book that should be kept open for all people,I understand that any study or analysis in the Scriptures should have this same feature: being open to all, public – open source

Transparency is one of the characteristics of the God's dealing with us.

Ephesians 5:1

Therefore, become imitators of God, as beloved children

When studying the Bible there is no point in keeping things hidden

Luke 12: 2 But there is nothing carefully concealed that will not be revealed, and secret that will not become known. 3 Wherefore what things YOU say in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what YOU whisper in private rooms will be preached from the housetops.
