I know that JWs believe in a Paradise on Earth. And I know that some of the Bible verses that they base their beliefs on are Genesis 1:28-30 in conjunction with Isaiah 11:6-9 and Revelation 21:1-4. However, I would like to ask JWs and other Christians who have the belief in paradise earth: What about the sea creatures?
Because even in the Bible, the dangerous and ferocious creature Leviathan was created by God according to Psalm 104:24-26. Plus, according to science, there are other dangerous and ferocious creatures that God created such as sharks. But in all fairness, I would like to post this 2 minute and 8 seconds video, which puts sharks in the best light possible.
However, if that was too long for you, I have this 51 second video, which features characteristics that only a Creator God could create. (Hebrews 3:4 and Revelation 4:11)
Therefore, are the scriptures that mention total peace in the human kingdom and the animal kingdom only referring to land creatures? And do those verses exclude the sea creatures? Because I don't quite get it.
But here is another example of the electric eel in this 2 minute and 25 second video, even though there are many, many more dangerous and predatory sea creatures such as this.

Post #72Of course it doesn't because you've been indoctrined by JWs.

Re: What About the Sea Creatures?
Post #73Except when Hebrew patriarchs committed fornication with women who were concubines who "were in the nature of a secondary wives and sometimes spoken of as a wife," but who were not their wives. LOLJehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Tue Jun 20, 2023 2:13 amNo, they permissible.
God has principles about killing and predation but not that such things are wrong, only that all life belongs to him and no life should be deliberately taken without his express permission. Animals are not moral beings so their behaviour cannot be categorised as "right" or "wrong"... just instinctive.
Fornication has never come under such a category and always violates divine law and principle.

Post #74According to the biblical defintion a concubine was a sort if secondary wife; sex withing the marital arrangement is not considered fornication.
