OK it says in the Bible that if we repent for our sins that we are forgiven and it has been forgotten. Then later in the bible it says when we step before God we will be judged for every word we have said against another.

Did it look almost exactly as it does today? If so, then why was it created with the appearance of having been around for several billion years? For instance, why do we find mountains growing in height at a rate of millimetres per year which therefore must have started forming several million years ago? Why do we find that Africa and South America were once joined together and are only separating now at the rate of about 2cm per year, meaning that the South Atlantic must be about 200 million years old? Why do we find great volcanoes reduced to stumps by the unimaginably slow processes of erosion, which clearly could not have done their work in a mere 6,000 years?

And so on...

Why was the world not created to look 6,000 years old, but rather billions of years old, if it really is 6,000 years old?

IT'S BECAUSE YOUR STUPIDITY IS ENTERTAINING and that's just the truth.

I laugh when you say "you're going to hell" or "Jesus loves you"

Wouldn't you laugh if someone said "Santa clause loves you"?

Wouldn't you laugh if someone really thought the invisible unicorn would bite you?

DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHY I THINK YOU GOD BELIEVERS ARE ENTERTAINING?

Many ppl when answering to trinity Question are trying to refer to Geneses when God refers to him self as God’s and consider that to be prove of trinity. Well OT was not written for Christians it was written for Jews. I don’t know a single Jew that will support idea of Trinity. So OT for all that time before Christian era was interpreted wrong?

I'm hoping this doesn't draw any negative comments, so if you don't like it, you don't have to comment. This comes from "Examining the Scriptures Daily 2006" published by Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania.

"Let us not give up in doing what is fine, for in due season we shall reap if we do not tire out."-Galations 6:9

Many believe that vigorous physical activity on a regular basis can alleviate tiredness. Similarly, regular spiritual activities can help relieve any feelings of emotional or spiritual exhaustion. The expression "doing what is fine" implies action on our part. Doing good things for others can indeed help prevent us from tiring out in our service to Jehovah. In contrast, association and activities with people who disregard God's laws can become a tiring burden. The bible warns us: "The heaviness of a stone and a load of sand-but the vexation by someone foolish is heavier than both of them." (Proverbs 27:3)

Christians: Please share a personal faith story when 1) God moved dramatically in your life and 2) your faith in Him increased immensely and/or you were given hope. Thanks so much!

hey guys, i'm facing a big prob @ work now which i'm not sure whether it's real or not! recently, we just shifted to our next position @ work. at 1st, i'm so lucky that i can get an average of 6 sales per day which is consider quite a good one and my friend wasn't doing well @ her new place, so she consulted one of our colleague who knows a bit abt fengshui. he told her to place a crystal on her desk. right after she did, her sales numbers started to go up while for me, i had a lot of rejections, even upto 0 sales. of course, i'm happy for her. but what i wanna find out is, does the crystal that she placed on her desk affects me? if so, what can i do to neutralise this situation for myself? oh sorry for being so superstitious at this young age! haha~

In the above link I posted another question, for under a different train of thought, but then after reading a few of the answer, I feel that it would be a good question for this catagory.........

What do you think of my flip of the coin theory?
If satans purpose is to deceive, then is his deception set to make us think hes deceiving?
Is the meaning of life, is to be a successfull experiment?
Could the bible be all lies created by a deceiptive demon? but then if the later question is true then am I being decieved into thinking its a truth, then being decieved into thinking its a lie, into thinking its the truth, etc?
Is god a mad scientest, and satan his hence men, his hunch back butler? refer to the serpent, and the bet him and the devil had
Is satan still in heaven, with god, and other?( keep in mind The Book of Jubilees, and the book of Enoch, both before the angel .......)

I know that it is suposed to be a gift called empathy that only certain people may have. I have it and I was wondering, if you do have it, is there a way to deal with the emotions of sadness? They go away after a while, but while you are in the presence of someone sad, how do you deal with that?

You say Jesus is powerful enough to save us and cannot lose us to the Devil. What about Judas Iscariot? At Luke 22:3 it says that Satan entered in to Judas, giving the idea that at some point, Judas started going astray. Do we not all have free will? Why would God go through all the trouble of making rules, then telling us we will be punished for breaking those rules, if He is only going to turn around and let us do whatever we want and take us to heaven anyway?

Note the I know many people in the science profession who follow Christianity.

Say you're an employer in this profession and someone applied for a position in the science field and they mention that they are Christian. Would you turn that person down for the job based on their beliefs,or would you take their qualifications for the job into consideration?

Think before you write! A cult is a system or community of religious worship and ritual.
The formal means of expressing religious reverence; religious ceremony and ritual. Obsessive, especially faddish, devotion to or veneration for a person, principle, or thing.
The object of such devotion.
An exclusive group of persons sharing an esoteric, usually artistic or intellectual interest. A religion or religious sect generally considered to be extremist or false, with its followers often living in an unconventional manner under the guidance of an authoritarian, charismatic leader.
The followers of such a religion or sect.
JEHOVAH WITNESSES ARE NOT NON OF THESE DEFINITIONS. THEY DONT PRACTICE THESE DEFINITIONS. SO Y DO PEOPLE SAY THEY ARE A CULT? WHAT DO YOU THINK?

What makes it hard is that in our click there are four of us. 2 girls & 2 guys. 1 guy "touched" another guy in an uncomfortable way and so now one girl is mad b/c he is basically admitting that he DID used to date guys. My thing is that sin is sin and since he repented there should be grace. What advice can I give my (girl) friend who is having a hard time accepting our (guy) friend's past b/c of his "touching" mistake?

this could be the same as If jesus said "I dont like rock music" would christians say its a sin to listen to rock music. Just because jesus said he didnt like it.
