If Jesus was approved by GOD as his son why is their so little written about what he said ?...Why didn`t he put pen to paper all that he said? If he was the greatest man who ever lived ?
by smiddy inwhat prompted me to pose this question, i read a piece of trivia that said: in the old testament their are 593,000 words approx.
in the new testament their are 181,000 words approx.if the sayings of jesus were so important to mankind /salvation, and such why were not all of his sayings recorded for prosperity ?
isn`t it written somewhere in scripture that not all of his sayings were written down because all of his sayings would fill volumes ?.

by smiddy inmy querry is : if you disassociate yourself from a congregation,do they send you a letter confirming this action ?
and if not, and it`s read out at a meeting that you took this action are you able to get confirmation that you actually did this ?.

#4 j.e was born in 1912 and died in 1997. the age gap between these two is 20 years.

The Alpha and Omega-God has no beginning and no end /as opposed to the universe having no beginning and no end ?
by smiddy ini would like some more enlightened beings than me to thrash this out.. to start the ball rolling with my small intellect.
i was always taught from my jw days that nothing came from nothing,and i accepted that.. all of creation had a start,and reproduced itself according to it`s kind according to genesis.
and of course we now know their are life forms that are a-sexual that reproduce.
