Religion & Spirituality - 11 August 2007

This is where my mother in law & I disagree. I'm Christian & she is a Jehovah's Witness. She says only the 100,000 in the book of life will go to Heaven, Christians are taught all who believe in Jesus go to Heaven...ok so what is that in Revelations where it says about the 100,000 in the Book of Life? Surely more then 100,000 believe in Jesus. I firmly believe that all who believe in Jesus will go to Heaven but I have to admit, the passage in Revelations about the 100,000 has me thinking now. She believes those not in the 100,000 who still believe will be in paradise on earth.
PLEASE back up your answers with references so I can research this. Thanks!

31 And again, this aGospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a witness unto all bnations, and then shall the end come, or the destruction of the wicked;
32 And again shall the aabomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, be fulfilled.
33 And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the asun shall be bdarkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the cstars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
34 Verily, I say unto you, this ageneration, in which these things shall be shown forth, shall not pass away until all I have told you shall be fulfilled.
35 Although, the days will come, that heaven and earth shall pass away; yet my awords shall not pass away, but all shall be fulfilled.
36 And, as I said before, after the atribulation of those days, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken, then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and then shall all the tribes of the earth bmourn; and they shall see the cSon of Man dcoming in the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory;
37 And whoso atreasureth up my word, shall not be deceived, for the Son of Man shall bcome, and he shall send his cangels before him with the great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together the dremainder of his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
38 Now learn a parable of the afig-tree—When its branches are yet tender, and it begins to put forth leaves, you know that summer is nigh at hand;
39 So likewise, mine elect, when they shall see all these things, they shall know that he is near, even at the doors;
40 But of that day, and hour, no one aknoweth; no, not the angels of God in heaven, but my Father only.
41 But as it was in the days of aNoah, so it shall be also at the coming of the Son of Man;
42 For it shall be with them, as it was in the days which were before the aflood; for until the day that Noah entered into the ark they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage;
43 And aknew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.
44 Then shall be fulfilled that which is written, that in the alast days, two shall be in the field, the one shall be taken, and the other bleft;
45 Two shall be grinding at the mill, the one shall be taken, and the other left;
46 And what I say unto one, I say unto all men; awatch, therefore, for you know not at what hour your Lord doth come.
47 But know this, if the good man of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to have been broken up, but would have been ready.
48 Therefore be ye also aready, for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh.
49 Who, then, is a afaithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
50 Blessed is that aservant whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing; and verily I say unto you, he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
51 But if that evil servant shall say in his heart: My lord adelayeth his coming,
52 And shall begin to smite his fellow-servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken,
53 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
54 And shall cut him asunder, and shall appoint him his portion with the hypocrites; there shall be weeping and agnashing of teeth.
55 And thus cometh the aend of the wicked, according to the prophecy of Moses, saying: They shall be cut off from among the people; but the end of the earth is not yet, but by and by.

Anybody watch "In Touch" and learn from that incredible preacher in Atlanta. He makes you really think about you love for Jesus and doing the right thing.

This was the bible for a very long time before anyone heard of jesus. It was their "truth", they studied and interpreted it endlessly.

Along comes jesus and he and a very few followers say, "this is the messiah. He is the son of god and we must follow him for soon there will be an apacolypse".

The jews who found jesus so unimpressive no one bothered to even write about him for 65 years or so (Josephus) say "uh, no I don't think so, jesus who? Never heard of him". Oh you mean the blasphemer, criminal who died on the cross? You people are nuts that's not the messiah'.

So then the christians go to the gentile polytheists and say " this is our new and improved god, you should follow him here are some stories I was told by the friend of a friend of my neighbours wifes cousin.

And the Romans who know no better and very little of the OT say "well he is sort of like the best of all of our gods rolled into one warm fuzzy package so whatever, whats one more god?

I just read in a book titled "Mormon America" that the Church does not allow dating or marriage between blacks and whites.
Is that true?

Then would praying really make a difference? He has a plan so why would he really listen to a prayer if it didn't go with his plan. Maybe by chance a prayer goes along with his plan and it seems like he answered it, but the outcome would have been the same even the the prayer hadn't been made.

Also, if you prayed for someone to live at a time of death. Why would he spare or not spare a life based on what you want, assuming you prayed for life?

What caused him to 'love' us instead of hate or dislike? If you think about it, saying something 'caused' god to love us directly implies that something can control or influence god, which isn't possible.

But to say nothing caused him to love us, well, then why does he love us? choice? can a being of any kind 'choose' a feeling? I know we humans can't choose our feelings and emotions, the idea of being able to 'choose' your feeling makes no sense to begin with.

So, what the heck, this is another aspect of god that doesn't make sense, can you make sense of it for me?
