Just 'Two Hours' of his words;to believe and make&a life and death decision as to whether or not his words impact your future existence.

The word of God is ALIVE and exerts POWER and is sharper than any two edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit...............and is able to discern thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12
The bible has a very powerful effect on peoples lives. As it says, it is ALIVE! It can change and move a person.

Its not the Bible as a whole book written over the centuries that is being questioned here. Its whether or not you can personally put your life in the hands of some one after only two hours of supernatural claims of that person talking to you?
I find it very hard to accept anyone after having a discussion of only two hours on supernatural spiritual illustrated matters. I would need pause to reflect and think about all they said that would boggle the mind.
You mean that I will live forever if I accept you and what you said to me in these two hours of conversation that we had. Something to think about.Of all the men born in this world, who could capture a person's dedication on just two hours of conversation?
The Faithful and Discreet Slave not included, they have captured over 6,000, 000. Some in only a door to door presention, an hour talk, a memorial etc. So it is possible for someone to be misled in just a short time, isn't it?
Especially when you have never met a Governing Body member, only heard their words. We have not met Jesus, we only read words and make a life and death decision based on whether or not we belive he said those words that will impact our future everlasting existence. I question all of this.

Man, supposedly made in the "image of god" craves his maker's embrace with heart-breaking pleas at the point of sorrow only to find his grasp empty and a lonely cold wind blowing across the surface of his belief.

Doesn't the two hours question miss the point. IF.....Jesus is God, or God's son (ie at least 50% deity by nature) then it wouldn't really matter whether he spoke for 2 seconds; 2 minutes; 2 hours; 2 days, months, years, decades, or millennia.
Are you more impressed with the Watchtower, whose words must add up to many years of teaching?
Proverbs 10:19 “In the abundance of words there does not fail to be transgression"How long does it take to say God is Love, so love God and treat every other human how you would wish to treated.
