Do u believe in God??

by JW72 in

jw

hi everyone, i don't know if i believe in god or not.. can someone give me a really convincing reason why to believe in him or not.. or is it just down to faith???.

faith in god is a bit like playing the lottery.. you have to sacrifice 1 a week, but you might just win.

you may as well, it's not much of a sacrifice, infact it helps people (lottery money helps projects/investments), but the prize is well worth winning.. anyone like my anallergy (is that how you spell it?).

There is no question about KNOWING God, whether you can prove it or not. He really CANNOT be proven to the satisfaction of your run of the mill atheist, no matter what you do or say to prove to them He is real.

Do I believe in God? Yes, OH YES!

I used to be an atheist/agnostic, I sort of wavered back and forth between the viewpoints. After a time, however, I sort of got this nagging feeling in the back of my mind, a feeling like, in spite of all the spouting off I did, saying there was no God, WHAT IF I WAS WRONG?
I accepted the Word made flesh, Jesus Christ, in 1995, and have not looked back since. And WILL not.

Greatest of love to all of you! I love youuuuuuuuuuuuu.....

i recently started doing some studying of jehovahs witnesses, and i find most everything so logical, and the people involved have been so nice to me.

i'm 30, and currently am not associated with any denomination.. what i don't understand is how the word "cross" got translated into the bible if it's not right.

aren't we supposed to believe the bible?.

If you were referring to the passage in Exodus I mentioned, I was just paraphrasing.

All you have to do is read it for yourself to see the truth.

Witnessing Tip (how many true gods are there)

by Big Jim in

witnessing tip of the month: jehovah's witnesses - how many true gods are there?.

the next time the jehovah's witnesses come to your you may ask them, "does your organization teach more than one true god?".

almost without fail the sharp witness will reply, "we only believe in one true god, jehovah.. explain that you agree with this statement saying, "i also believe in only one true god and all other gods are false gods.. the ask, "how do you understand john 1:1 that teaches, the word [jesus] was god?.

1John 5:7

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost; AND THESE THREE ARE ONE.

ONE God in three forms, distinct but not separate.

Can one truly separate the Father from the Word and the Will of God? You CANT.

Issue Facing Apostates

by Mishnah in

most of the stuff posted here is negative, hateful, and blasphemous against god.

even if many of you are right in saying that the jws are wrong on many and important issues, that does not make you right.

so unless you are convinced that there is no biblical god you are facing serious trouble when you die or if the lord comes during your lifetime.

God_knows

You misread me.

I was speaking of the Holy Ghost within Jesus. Blasphemy against the man can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Holy ghost within the man will NOT be.

And remember, as I say again, it is because the Holy Ghost IS GOD, the third person within the Trinity.

Contradiction?????

by Yerusalyim in

on page 132 of the knowledge book it says: who are the "superior authorities"?

paaul's words in succeeding verses show that they are human governmental authorities.

(romans 13:1-7; titus 3:1) jehovah did not originateman's governmental authorities, but they exist by his permission.

FARKEL
You correctly stated that the unforgiveable sin is blasphemy against the holy Ghost.

Need I remind you, though that the Holy Ghost IS GOD. God is a Triune being, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. So whether you blaspheme the Holy Ghost within us, or Jesus, or if you blaspheme the Father, it is still unforgiveable.

Look at what you are saying here, and think about it. You are calling God evil, because He takes due vengeance out on those who reject Him, just as He will in the end times. You are rejecting the God of righteousness, because He judges evil and keeps to Himself only that which is good.

Be careful.

Everyone here seems to be saying that it does not matter whether Jesus died on a cross or a stake, but what matters is that He died;
That just is not true, I am afraid, for you cannot change even one word of scripture without the permission of the king. The Lord commands us not to add to or take away from scripture in any way.

I forgot to mention one thing in my last post.

In Exodus 12:7 Moses commands the people to put lamb's blood on the top and sides of their doorways. This about that; God had a good reason for commanding this, and it is not just to mark out the houses of the Hebrews apart from the Egyptians. The blood of the LAMB on the top and sides of the door is symbolic of JESUS, His bloody head, and bleeding hands.....STRETCHED OUT TO THE SIDES as on the cross.

So even the OT speaks of His crucifixion on the CROSS, not a stake.

Peace, blessings and the sweetest love to all of you.

Jesus WAS crucified on a cross, and not a stake. The Translation is correct and it is important that the whole truth be recognised, AND TAUGHT CORRECTLY. For it is an offense to God to change even one word of the bible.

You will find that the JWs have many odd beliefs that do not jive with true scripture. Be wary.

Even nonbiblical historical records show that hanging on a CROSS what the common form of execution. NO STAKES, beloved one.

Hey, you know, you can write to me any time if you have any questions. I would love to help you study.

Peace to you.

Pentecost 33CE What really happened.

by biblexaminer in

I am not a JW and never was, but I can tell you this; in your first post you re asking a lot of questions that are of no importance and do not affect the facts in any way.

As for the last two questions, baptisms were done in the Jordan, and quite clearly those 3000 that were saved that day did not all have to fit in the upper room of that house, or even be in that house.
