Assuming you would not catch on fire in His presence and God was standing right in front of you, what would you ask Him?
If you don't believe in God, just imagine He does exist and He reveals Himself to you right in front of your eyes like a normal, everyday person.
What questions would you ask Him? What would you say to Him?

On the House floor on Thursday, Mr. Stark attacked Mr. Bush in statements that at some points were more angry than coherent.
“I’m just amazed that the Republicans are worried that we can’t pay for insuring an additional 10 million children,” he said. “They sure don’t care about finding $200 billion to fight the illegal war in Iraq. Where are you going to get that money? You are going to tell us lies like you’re telling us today? Is that how you’re going to fund the war? You don’t have money to fund the war or children, but you’re going to spend it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the President’s amusement.”

As non-believers, are their voices less important in reference to where a believer's loyalties lay to their national interest? Is it ok to have a duty to country and not God to you as a Christian citizen?

Often when a question comes up about religion, so many are quick to attack and tell somebody they are going to hell. Even when it has nothing to do with the question, people incorporate it in somehow.

1. Who are we to judge who goes to hell or heaven? I am sorry, but I think only God knows that. Only He knows the depths of a person's heart and the true love they have for Him. Nobody else. So, it would be nice if people stopped telling others...you're going to hell. We may "think" we know, but in reality, we don't. Only God does.

2. It is not a loving way to approach a person, and with that, it is not a Christ like way to approach a person. Comments like that spread hate and create tension amongst people. I am less likely to listen to person's point of views about religion who has already, by their "own power," condemned me to hell, than a person who approaches an issue with love and a Christ-like concern.

Love bears fruit. Creating tension, hate and fear do not.

the faith of this cult who deceptively call themselves JEHOVA's witnesses collapses when you prove that JESUS CHRIST and JEHOVA are one .

john 10:30
"I and the FATHER are one"

and john 1:1

so why on earth do they deny the trinity?

What do you believe and what do you accept to be true and why?

In short, what is your world view?

Just an honest question. Specifics please.


Thanks

... all others are condemned to go to hell?

(In this view, Jesus didn't heal all the sick who came to him because he had already chosen those who would be healed, and neither will he save everyone because he's already chosen those whom he will save.)

Many evangelicals may think this is odd dogma, but it is the faith espoused by Jean Calvin in the 15th century and is still held by those who adhere strictly to his theology.

They go to great lengths to prove them wrong. When most of what they write sounds childish to me. Why not dwelve deeply into the Catholic Church that has been around since the beginning of Christianity. Or the Babtist hell fire and brimstone teachings that are similar to the fear of the Islamic faith. It centers around the fear of death and eternal damnation. Better die killing someone or you will probably go to hell and suffer. To me those religions sound very scary.
Yet for some reason those don't seem to bother anyone.
But a religion that preaches peace and no war and a paradise earth where people can live without fear scares them to death.
Why is that?

I am 19, weigh 125 pounds, and I'm 5ft 11. I been trying to gain weight my whole life and I tried everything in the book... worked out for 3 months, ate healthy, and that didn't work. Tried eating junk food (all fatty foods) and tried eating energy bards and drinks like ensure and boost and that didn't work. I'm also going through a lot of mental issues... I got no one to talk to but family... Jesus or god never help me with my problems... I use to pray every night for them to help me gain weight and be happy... and it never worked. I been a Christian all my life but I finally figured out Jesus doesn't care about me or anyone else in this world or there wouldn't be no wars, deaths, ect, ect. But I discovered something new... something that might be able to help me... I been reading a lot about Satanism and following Satan has helped people with my problem and has helped others with different problems... I dunno what to do...

That's because people have been making things up about it for hundreds of years. But of course you're too stupid to research it and figure this out, much less actually read your own religious texts. If you were this mindless at work, wouldn't you get fired?

Christianity and Islam.
Buddhists, Hindus, even Jews, aren't nearly as contentious about science. Much of it jives with them, and they are willing to deal with reality.

They buy magazines for cash. There is no return. They buy 10-15 million books evertime a new one is published. They sell many books to Bible studies. Each witness has an average of one study. That is another 10-15 million books and magazines. They have large assemblies that collect a lot of donations. They take money from members to do a project and sometimes cancel the project right after the member has claimed the donation on their income tax. They say they will pay the money back after the deduction. Many say just use it on the next project. Free money by the millions.
They use slave labor to run their very large printing facility. They say their publications are cheap. Any publication would be cheap with slave labor. If a member buys magazines they do not place they eat them. Then the company tells them to just give the back issues to anyone who is interested. More free money. I do not think that people realise how much they take in. Where does it go?

that we can make up traditions and believe them to be as true as the Bible, even if some of these traditions go against what the Bible says?

Can you please show me where the Bible says that we can do this?
Are there any verses that tell us NOT to do this?
