Ok. I know myspace is not recommended. I used to have an acocunt and deleted it. I made a new one and my sister doesn't like the fact that I made a new one and told me that I have to understand that worldy associations are bad. I understand that. But I hardly go on there and when I do its not like a serious chat its more like just hi what are you doing kind of thing. Out of all the friends I have, only 3 are witnesses. I don't really see it as a bad thing as long as I don't do anything inappropiate. How then should I go about telling her? Its so hard not to have one because when I deleted it, everyone was telling me to get one again. What should I do,delete it? I know its my decision but please give me advice on this thank you!!

I mean God would rather not want to come down and tell each and everyone, hey believe in me I am God!! It would make more sense to me that it is for us to find out. What do you think?

Have You Transcended, Faith And Belief And Moved To The Stage of All Knowing Truth? Just Like Jesus.
If Not. You Are Still Not Truly Born Again

Who gave us the Holy Spirit?
How does the Holy Spirit benefit my life?
Why was the Holy Spirit important to the Disciples?

I have to do an essay on this for my church and I have looked at many websites and found nothing helpful.

I hope.

The Book of Hebrews is written in an entirely different style than the other Epistles credited to Paul. Some believe it was written by someone else. Some believe he had a secretary who expressed Paul's teaching his way and another secretary who expressed Paul's teachings in the Book of Hebrews.
Now for the wise crackers, up until the 20th century most secretaries were men.

"The word of God" means the words are exactly as revealed (original language of the Messenger).

If I take a speech by the President of the United States, translate it into French and then publish it as the exact "President's Speech" I would be called a liar. The President never spoke in French and I could never say it was "his" speech. In fact it could only be called the closest translation of his speech but it can never be called "his words"; And even if I published his speech in English (as was the original) changed a few words and then put parenthesis around the entire speech and said this was his exact speech I would be imprisoned. If I changed even one single word it would no longer be the exact words of the President.

If Revelation is ever translated into a different language then it is no longer the "Word of God" , it would be the closest translation perhaps but NEVER the absolute WORD OF GOD.

If a single word in an entire book is changed the entire book is no longer the absolute "Word of God" .

This is the high standard held by people who do not want to base their life and everlasting future on books that have been changed or altered from their original form in even the slightest way.

If a religion cannot show you the original texts from the time of the Prophet that revealed the words of God then be ready for lots of manmade confusion and lots of editions/versions.

a clean slate that should mean you cease to sin so as not to make void the gift Christ gave us? If some one took the rap for me and was severly punished for my sins that would make me regret sinning in the first place and certainly not eager to sin over & over again its seems direspectful.

each time I do something that I realize is wrong, I feel separated from God a little bit. Is this normal?

We keep getting these "I'm persecuted" questions. Let's get a poll going. I just want to make a point that we all have to put up with flack for our beliefs or lack thereof. And I suspect that Christians aren't nearly as "persecuted" as they seem to think. Now - please be honest when you answer the following.

What religion are you?

Have you ever had any of the following happen to you (please indicate by number):

1. I have been teased or badmouthed about my religion (or lack thereof).

2. I have been physically assaulted because of my religious beliefs or lack thereof.

3. I have lost a job due to my religious beliefs or lack thereof.

4. I have had my personal property destroyed or vandalized due to my religious beliefs or lack thereof.

5. I have been put on a police watch list due to my religious beliefs or lack thereof.

6. I have been wrongfully accused of a crime due to my religious beliefs or lack thereof.

7. Other - please specify.

I just saw an amazing video by Paul Washer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuabITeO4l8

But Im afraid of living, I'm afraid of making choices. I've been turning from my old self and trying to build myself in light of Christ my savior. I found it easy not to sin anymore, what I mean is, I can easily follow the ten commandments. BUT. The line that devides sin from good works is blurred.

Someone told me that the best way to test to see if something you are unsure of is a sin, is to ask yourself: can I honor God with it?

"If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it."

By these words and by many others, I know that my one priority is God and his will, and the rest does not matter. So I gave up video games, I gave up watching TV, I gave up eating at restaurants, All the time I used to spend on myself I use to read the Bible.

Really. People still practice greek religion, and really all the religions were once at the top of their game. Why when a religion slows down a bit does it mean that it isnt true and us just myth? Christians read and believe in some old book. I would call that mythology any day.

why do all people make fun of us (jehovah's witnesses) have you ever been to one of our churches? have you ever been around us. not all of us are crazy as you say, i could call some of you Baptist.. crazy to, and you guys come door to door to i have had many baptist come to my door wanting something or trying to get me to come to there church, god gave us free will to do with as we chose, and if we believe in something else then that's okay, that's why we have free will, in the bible it says do not judge others, so why must you judge other peoples religion?we celebrate holidays (my church)and we read out of the same bible that babtist read out of, so why don't you stop making fun of us we do not make fun of you and we believe that everybody has a right to what they believe in. so why must all you BASH on other religions, god says do not judge other and that's what your doing, so what if there religion is not what you think is right it's there choice and it's not your place to tell them
