To suggest that the devil is not created by god gives credence to the fact that the devil is an alternative god which manifested itself. Which means there could be several gods. And if god is all powerful and created everything why did he create a devil in the first place and on what of the 7 days did he do it and why is the creation of this other being not mentioned in the bible - I would have thought it would have been a whole chapter of its own.

.....What do you do when your mind doesnt aim to what your heart desires? ......What do you do when aiming to be honest you realise your behaviour is just shallow ?...... What do u choose when you dont feel like taking choises? ..... What do you choose when nobody tells you what to do? ....

fish mysteriously disappeared from the hold of a fishing boat i was on.....either God tele-transported them to somebody who needed them somewhere else on the earth. or a friend suggested that that was how Jesus fed all those people by "grabbing" food over time from people He knew who wouldn't mind........?

I find this an obscure Christian teaching even though I was raised in a Christian church and paid very close attention . . .

Personal experience testimony welcomed. Seems that all aggressive religion strains have three things in common:

1. they claim to be the only truth or at least the best purest truth

2. They claim to be the fastest growing religion in the world

3. They claim to be the only religion hated and persecuted by others

What else could create something as complex as the universe? Or the human body? Think about how we are made. Every detail is covered. The ability of the body to heal cuts and other healings. The conception of and birth of a baby. I don't think some ameba or some comit could design such intelligence as the human body. What is your answer? We were created by a mold spore? A rotting leaf?

ZetaTalk: Old Souls Note: written May 15, 1997
If the Earth is a home to forming entities, and the Council of Worlds is regulating visits between entities who have graduated from such homes to travel about the Universe, then just how ancient are such entities sitting on the Council? The length of time is not a relevant guide here, as progression in spiritual matters is less a matter of years but a matter of growth. There are old souls in the Service-to-Self camps that have barely progressed past the point of most immature souls on Earth! They are firmly Service-to-Self, and thus progressed to 4th Density, and there they sit. There are relatively young souls who move rapidly through the densities, as by their nature they learn rapidly and do not hesitate to apply their knowledge. And in between are the vast majority, who linger at points, revisit areas they have passed through before to solidify lessons, and become blocked due to their nature now

When scriptures proves otherwise,

Romans 1:3-4
3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; 4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

Matthew 1:1-20
1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

In this generation timeline, Joseph is included as one of the
Fleshly Fathers of Jesus. Scritures below back me. Scriptures do not contradict. People need to get understanding from it.

Isa. 11:1-2, Rev. 22:16, Matt 3:16, John 1:33-34, Acts 13:22-23, Luke 1:31-33, Jeremiah 23:5, Heb 2:16

Common misunderstood scripture is Luke 1:27-37. The bible never says, "IMMACULATE CONCEPTION". Jesus is still the
Son of God, but he is also made from the seed of David.

What is your take on the Seed of David Scrip

He goes through all the trouble of telling people to turn the other cheek and not act violently or out of revenge and then they turn around and kill people in his name. Crusades, Inquisition, etc. etc. all done in his name. Don't you think he'd be mad?

And please back up your answer.
And if you say something like 'missing the mark' or something like that, explain what that means.
Give real-life examples.

and that "hell" is the grave....why do JWs get buried?

Soul Sleep. JWs deny the immortality of the soul. They do not believe the soul can exist apart from the body, but that a corpse remains in an unconscious state in the grave waiting for the resurrection.

Annihilation of the Wicked. JWs teach that the "second death" is annihilation and extinction -- the wicked will cease to exist and will not suffer everlasting torment. They claim that a "doctrine of a burning hell" is "wholly unscriptural," "unreasonable," "contrary to God's love," and "repugnant to justice." [They claim that "hell" is the grave.

It has been said that God is real. I am curious to see if this is true. In my reading of the Bible I have read some points on prayer.

Matthew 7:7, Matthew 17:20, Matthew 21:21, Mark 11:24, John 14:12-14, Matthew 18:19 and James 5:15-16

In Mark 9:23:
All things are possible to him who believes.
In Luke 1:37:
For with God nothing will be impossible.

Since all things are possible to him who believes, and for with God nothing will be impossible, could we pray for something that logically God could do, to reveal himself to us.


Lets pray this, Dear God, almighty, all-powerful, all-loving creator of the universe, we pray to you to cure every case of cancer on this planet tonight. We pray in faith, knowing you will bless us as you describe in Matthew 7:7, Matthew 17:20, Matthew 21:21, Mark 11:24, John 14:12-14, Matthew 18:19 and James 5:15-16. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

Will you pray with me, sincerely, and see if we see a cure of cancer

In my church (Presbyterian) some members are always treating our pastor (a very good one) as an employee, watching all that he and his family are doing and demanding him about the time he spends in his vacations, the use of church facilities (such PC´s)., etc., just because they think that it is their tithes that are paying his "salary". They are not bad people but in my oppinion they are shortsighted and they dont know better. I feel that he and his family suffer on account of this situation. I´m going to write an article in our bulettin about the subject. I dont want to hurt anybody, just to open their eyes. I also need some Bible verses to back me up.

Salvation . JWs claim everlasting life is a reward for doing the will of God and carrying out one's dedication -- in other words, salvation is a reward for good works. (JWs are expected to spend five hours per week in door-to-door visitation and witnessing, are responsible for selling twelve subscriptions to The Watchtower magazine each month, and are responsible for conducting a "Bible study" each month in the homes of their converts.) According to JW theology, a person has one of three possible destinies. The Anointed (144,000) will be in heaven to reign with Jehovah God. The rest of the faithful Jehovah's Witnesses (not of the 144,000) will live forever on a paradise Earth. Both of these classifications are determined to a great extent on membership in the Watchtower organization as well as going door-to-door spreading the message of the Watchtower. Those people who are not members of the Watchtower organization will be destroyed by Jehovah God and cease to exist.
