What is God to apologize for?

Which god?

That question alone gives a clue as to why.

If you care to look at this article I wrote, especially parts 1-4, you may realize how I view the so-called "original sin" and the "death" that came along with it. Then you'll realize that I have a couple of fundamental differences with the typical JW view. You'll excuse me, but it's just too long to summarize here. If you care enough about the subject, please have a read.

The God of the Bible.

Eden.

Sorry to be a pain.

You are a kool kitty honest.

No offence, but why the god of the bible?

Why not the god of the koran? Thor? Shiva? the Annunaki?

These are all gods that people believe in just as fervently as any Xtian believer.

:) You're a cool guy, punk, no grief taken.

I cannot give you a straight, "rational" answer to that question. The only thing I can say is that, once you weed out the post-biblical fabrications constructed around the God of the Bible, He remains as the most consistent of all Creator deities you can find on earth.

Eden .You may not take the jw view but if you claim to be xian there is no difference in the fundementals sin is seen as the reason for the worlds ills and in order to achieve salvation in whatever form you have to be SAVED I refer you back to my previous post there is no escaping my scenario .

You, see, if you have read my article, you would know that I don't ascribe the world's ills (say, physical death, ilness, ageing, war ...) to sin. I only ascribe the alienation from God to sin. "Salvation" is simply our reconciliation with God.

When someone asks me if I'm 'saved' my reply is: 'I was never lost'.

Once 'saved' always 'saved'.
