i hear a lot of born again Christians saying that they were saved at one special moment that changed their lives. i didn't have this. i prayed to God that He would show me the truth, and he slowly opened my heart up to Jesus Christ. it was a process, i didn't have one defining moment where i was saved. i read the Bible and God showed me its truth over time, and then i accepted Jesus as my savior.

Is there any thing I can say to acknowledge the season and wish you well? I have several JW friends. I love the season and love wishing people well via Merry Christmas, etc. I want to respect them and their beliefs about holidays, so should I just treat like any other day? I know my friends are used to people who don't know better wishing them happy holidays, etc, and they are very politely non reactive. Isn't there anything I could say that would acknowledge this great powerful time of year without offending?

Why do people call it this way ?
I think of it more as attaining "spiritual enlightenment" than genetic mutation...

Who is to say that God didn't place false/contradictory doctrine in scriptures or have them corrupted in some way or another? Perhaps there is a Divine plan that the scriptures (Torah, Bible, Qur'an etc.) be fallible?

Matthew 1:1-15,
16. And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ.
This is the genealogy of Christ through Merry! or through Joseph?

My house maintiains a temp. of about 78 degrees. My husband and I wanted to get a real tree, but we are unsure if it will survive in our environment. I thought it would be alright if we water it twice a day or so, but others say no way not to bother. Any thoughts?

I said this to a co-worker last year at the beginning of Hanukkah and she acted offended. I know I had the right date, and I know she was Jewish, but I'm Christian. Should I have apologized? Anti-Semites, keep hateful comments to yourself, please.

To some, the expression "believe in..." has a special meaning... as in "BELIEVE IN Jesus". The special meanings of "believe in" include: trust in, have faith in, love, faithfully follow, act in accordance with, etc.

But to others, the phrase "believe in..." is used in expressions such as "I don't BELIEVE IN the existence of God" - the definition of an atheist.

Assume for the purposes of this question that the Christian faith is correct. God exists. Those who follow his teachings go to Heaven, the sinners to Hell. Now, we have a historical precedent where individuals can be cast out of Heaven for going against God, the archangel Lucifer.

Human beings are fallible. I doubt anyone here could claim to be perfect (not without committing the sin of Pride, of course ;)). It's conceivable that a human being could, over the course of a mortal lifespan, be faithful enough to be rewarded with Heaven.

However, they're in Heaven for eternity. Over an infinite span of time, pure statistics suggest they would act sufficiently fallible to earn God's displeasure at some point. This is what you get when you start messing with infinity. At this point, they would be cast into Hell. And no-one is paroled from Hell, it's sort of the definition of the place. You're there for good.

Does this mean that over eternity, Heaven would eventually end up empty?
