Religion & Spirituality - 8 November 2007

You keep saying it and giving scripture for it..yet when explained to you it says the Number of the Tribes of Israel ,
How do you get..your the 144,000 spoken of in Revelations 7:4

Then what about those 144,000 mentioned in Revelations 14:3-4.....These are they who were not defiled by women;for they are virgins and follow the Lamb wherever He goes , These were redeemed among men, being the first fruits unto God and the Lamb??

serious answers please.......just dont get the understanding of your teachings..not trying to be rude....just dont get it!!

My personal limit is 8,200 miles.

(Unless we are talking about Mable and she is wearing one of those short skirts she mentioned).

i dont beleive in heaven or god or any of that. i honestly think you just die and don't know it, like a sleep. do you think that (if there is a heaven) and you die thinking that there is no heaven, something bad will happen to you, like you will not go to heaven while people that beleive, will? its really confusing but i was just wondering because some people told me that before but i dont really beleive it.

If not, how about an educated guess? An assumption based on a reasonable train of logic?...come on, it must be something more than just an unsubstantiated belief. Those guys are so certain that evolution is wrong so their preferred explanation for the number of species that exist today must have something solid to back it up…does it?

My parents have been gone for a week and told me to think about my "spiritual" beliefs. And I have. I'm an atheist, and have told them but they won't take me seriously.

So I decided to write a paper and am looking for good arguments against Christianity and the Bible to show them.

So far I have topics on: Pascal's Wager, Christmas and Easter pagan origins, Creation story, Free will, fear tactics used by religions, if God is really all-knowing/powerful, and certain Bible contradictions.

Mostly I'd like tasteful quotes or reasoning to add, or things I've missed out. I did put a lot of work into this and I'm hoping they will finally respect me after reading this paper.

Thanks in advance.

I would really like to see the scripture that says that Sunday is the "New Sabbath". This is a quest for the true meaning of the fourth commandment's "Remember to keep the sabbath day holy." Thanks

It is one thing to disagree and quite another to be just down right rude. So why all the rudeness?

Is that their primary way of making converts?

I guess I just hear people talk so much about how they hate JWs knocking on their doors that I wondered if it's successful at all, and if it is, is it the primary way that converts are made?

Thanks!

Ok so i have a friend who believes in all his magic tricks and stuff. He says that they aren't really tricks, he says that he has demonic powers that the devil has given him to do the all the stuff that he does. I don't believe in no way that the devil has given him powers to do the things he does, i think that his tricks are all just an illusion to fool people like any ordinary magician does. There is a whole lot more things he said about the whole situation but I'll just leave it at that for now. So do you believe that he is demonic and that the devil gives him demonic powers to levitate and do all the other tricks he does?

God gave 2 laws about blood:

Don't eat it, and
Don't shed it

Each of these situations involve choosing between saving (or trying to save) your life, or breaking one of those laws.

What is the Jehovah's Witness view about them?

1. Eating meat with blood in it, or starving to death.

2. Kill or be killed.

3. Taking a blood transfusion or bleeding to death.

4. For women only (tubal pregnancy.) Having an operation to remove the tube and fetus which will result in the death of the child, but possibly prevent you from bleeding to death. Keep in mind that, in time, the fetus will die. You have to decide whether to wait for it to happen naturally, or having a share in deliberately ending the life of a living human. .

Could you justify or possibly justify breaking one of God's laws (don't eat blood, don't shed blood) to try to preserve your life in any of these situations? Is there a difference? If so, what?

Since the glory of the olive prediction seems to be chillingly fulfilled with Benedict XIV, are we in for Peter the Roman and the end. Even more chlling, 2012 is on it's way.

I know many people think that the serpent in the garden of eden was Satan because that's what it says in the new testament. But before the new testament was written, the serpent was just that, a serpent. The serpent didn't really do anything evil either. He just told Eve what the two trees were about, right? Also, I know that in the new testament, there is much reference of satan being around in the stories of the old testament; I'm not looking for that kind of evidence for satan or hell in the old testament. I'm only looking for direct evidence of satan or hell from passages of the old testament. Is there any?

you think they the JWs be looking for water in HELL!
Today folks if you not born again get saved because in Hell there be no water . I have ben a sick person but oneday I want be sick I go to Heaven be at peace.
Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish , Luke 13-3
For whosever shall call upon the name of the Lord shallbe Saved, Romans 10-13
For all have sinned come short of the Glory of God, Romans 3-23
The blood of Jesus Christ his son cleaseth us from all sin 1 John 1-7
Jesus cares for you but satan wants you in Hell burning forever , Mark 9-48 Where their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched .
Call on Jesus to save you to forgive you of your sins today ask Jesus in your heart today ok , Revelation 20-15 For whosever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

In, Jesus, Rodney
