When I ask how many languages you "know," I don't mean you have to be very proficient, just enough to communicate simple concepts like "Where's the bathroom?"

'Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allah is the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary)." But the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)] said: "O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong­doers) there are no helpers.' (Qur'an 5:72)

'Surely, disbelievers are those who said: "Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity)." But there is no ilah (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilah (God -Allah). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall the disbelievers among them.' (Qur'an 5:73)

Please comment on the significance of the fact that within 325 years of dieing on the cross, Jesus' gospel message became the defining religion of the mighty Roman Empire that had spent so much time trying to crush it and shortly after destroyed the many polytheistic practices of the known civilized world at that time and continues to impact our world today.

Basically, Jesus defeats polytheism. This is not a religious question. It is a historical fact. If not what other factor contributed to the many gods of the Greeks, Romans, Eqyptians, Babylonians, Persians, Norse Germanic Tribes and many others becoming Myth?

How do some know that the bible was really the word of god? I mean, since the bible was written by men who claim to have written the teachings instructed by god, how do we know these people are not lying or not fooling themselves? How can we be sure they were just not getting dilusional? The bible instructed to kill anyone who worked on the sabbath, to kill homos, to kill rebellious childreen. Does that sound like an all loving god? How do we know the bible really came from god and not from the minds of people.
I don't mean to offend christians, i'm just wondering. If you find this offensive, please do not take it personally.

Do you believe that everyone has a God Given Purpose on earth?
If so, do you believe that one has to work toward something in life or just wait until God opens a door of opportunity to fulfill their purpose.

origin of question: Some people just seem to float along in life, not really working to achieve anything significant and all of a sudden, here comes this big opportunity that if they take, makes them happy and successful.

christians always say that the book of genesis is not to be taken literally. Okay, so original sin is one of the many parts of the book of genesis.

Now, Jesus supposedly died on the cross for original sin. BUT, we have been told that genesis isn't literal.

SO. One can only wonder, what the hell did jesus die on the cross for?

you can't have it both ways.

I keep wanting to send her a card, along with all of the other people whom I send a card at Christmas, but I know it's extremely taboo to mention anything about any holiday to a JW. How can I still acknowledge them without being offensive and getting them in trouble with their kingdom hall?
