There will (ALWAYS) be Debate as to whether John 1:1 Should Read "a God" OR "God" !

BUT Doesn't John 1:18 which Reads "NO Man has SEEN God at ANYtime" Really Clarify that the New World's Translation of John 1:1 is (WITHOUT DOUBT) the "Most" Accurate Translation of John 1:1 ???

Really; all ANYONE has to do to Know What "Should Be" the Correct Rendering of John 1:1 Is (JUST) Read the "Entire" First Chapter of John ??? !!!!!

In other words as we move on from the Evangelical phase/thrust of the past 200+ years, what do you think the church will/should focus on to succeed, or be relevant for the next few upcoming generations. Other major phases of Christianity in the past have been the Contemplative, Social Justice and Charismatic phases, which only mean that the church seemed to focus on one of these main practices during different times throughout history.

I always imagined the Bible as a Soap Opera......but maybe it is a action flick with the whole end of days stuff.

The god delusion seems to be an attack on god by a jealous lover, who sets out using science, to prove that god is a lie

Is this a threat being carried out because god won't talk to him

there may be a god
it is religeon that is false

If th ebible doesn't specefy that it is wrong, shouldn't it be a matter of conscience, whether you celebrate a birthday or not?

I see this as adding rules to the scriptures that are not there...I also know that this issue has been debated in the governing Body for years and years.

In Biblical times, the culture was much like Japan today. Honor was sought in every action a person did, and shame was to be avoided at all cost. Crucifixion was intentionally the most dishonorable death one could have. The Jewish historian Josephus described it as "the most wretched of deaths." Now if Christians were to hold to Jesus being the Son of God after He had been executed, they would have surely been in an incredibly dishonorable position and dismissed without further consideration. Think about it. Claiming that God in the flesh would suffer such humiliation should have been suicide for the Christians.

Unless, of course, there was undeniable proof Jesus rose from the dead and reversed the dishonor of the cross. And in the Bible, it says that Jesus appeared to hundreds after His resurrection. Unless Jesus had really been raised from the dead and seen by witnesses, there would be absolutely no reason to hold this dishonorable position which would lead to the martyr and persecution of many of the early Christians.

In reply, Jesus Christ directed the young man’s attention to God, saying: “Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.”—Mark 10:17, 18.
Would You Not Agree That Jesus Was Here Saying He Was NOT God?

Christmas? I have friends that are atheists and some family that is, but I don't understand how they can celebrate Christmas when the whole point is that Jesus was born on that day. (I'm Christian) Sorry if I sound ignorant, I'm only 14, and I don't mean to come across as rude but I am honestly curious.

Lets try this a different way. The apostles and a few other inspired men wrote what we know as the Bible. Is there any single tradition that the writers of the Bible taught that is not included in the Bible? For instance a letter of Paul saying Mary was sinless? Or writings of John saying the Pope is infallible? Or are all the traditions we can trace specifically to the writers of the Bible in the Bible. Is there any tradition outside the Bible that can be shown was specifically taught by the writers of the Bible?

Isn't there something to be said for being put off by that which is unjust? Shouldn't we be angry about some things? There are certain things in life that are just wrong...murder, rape, molestation, child abuse... does it help any of us to forgive these kinds of trespasses especially when such a monster feels they have every right to be doing the horrible acts they do?

I understand that forgiveness is mostly for the benefit of the forgiver so they will not be locked in anger and resentment. But do we sometimes take forgiveness too far because it is easier than facing and dealing with the horror that some people do?
