Hi Nina!
Those were nice quotes. I was touched by them!!!
You know, God understands this and how the world of Satan's propaganda has messed things up. The people claiming to believe in God are the main culprits that honest people get turned off on. But God does respond to those searching for him..
Thus in the end, "many from eastern parts and western parts" will be in the kingdom, just because of their own personal "divineness" seen by God, whereas the "sons of the kingdom" (many religionistic Christians and JWs) will be passed by because they missed the point.
When I look up at the round moon I think: "Oh ohh!!! That's not a mistake! Somebody put that there!..."
Thanks, again, for the quotes.
BUT....(ahhh, just when I had a nice short post!!!!....)....
While MOST don't have to worry about "temple" and "sacred" issues, some of us do....so "religion" is not necessary for everybody, probably?, but for SOME who had specific details to work out in the greater plan, it's intensively critical, so....I don't blame anyone for dumping religion, but the Bible and all that stuff is "divine" and it has it's purpose, but one that will be specific to a few of those involved with the early phases of God's plan. So....though I've enjoyed dumping the slavery to the organization, I'm an intense Biblicalist and find joy in scripture as well as nature..and ASTRONOMY!!! Astrochronology is one of my areas...right?
Have a blessed day....
