Ok, ok, why should you be a Christian? Believe in Jesus (I should be specific). And NO, forget you Jahovah's Witness people, you are like a cult!
2006-10-21 20:08:48 · update #1
The term "cult" is an insulting synonym for "religion". The term has no place in polite conversation, and Jehovah's Witnesses correctly consider it an insult.
Sadly, this so-called "question" seems intended mostly as insulting slander against Jehovah's Witnesses. Jesus himself quite plainly assigned the Christian congregation to perform an evangelizing work (Matt 28:19,20; Luke 10:1,2; et al).
One wonders if anti-Witnesses understand that Jehovah's Witnesses are proven to be true Christians, based upon the Witnesses' preaching work and the anti-Witnesses' bigoted hatred against them.
(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.

I'm gonna give you an answer in way by choice.
Let say that there is a 50% chance that God exist and 50% chance he doesn't exist. Now to help you to decide based on a coin flip on this then you're going to have to look at the pros and cons.
Let's say if God does exist and you Do believe in him but you have to worship him for the rest of your life. Then when you die you go straight to heaven and be happy. But if he doesn't exist then you just wasted your time believing in him while you could do a bunch of other things.
Now let's say that God does exist but you DON'T believe in him, then hopefully you enjoyed and spent your time well on earth because you're going straight to hell. But if he doesn't exist then you don't really lose nothing at all. You just simply used your time wisely and you didn't really act the fool who believes in a phony god.
So all it comes down to you is a matter of choice. You can choose to play it safe and worship him or if you feel so confident that he doesn't exist then you can choose to live your life to the fullest in your own way.
So what do you choose?

Seeing is believing is the common sickness of mankind regarding belief. I am wondering how a blind man like
Stevie Wonder could convert himself to Muslim. It is utmost
important to know yourself before knowing the God. Questions like, Why am I here? What am I really made up of? My body is useless without the soul? What actually happened in my dream?
Relate all your questions to the universe, I beg you will find the truth. Believing in religion is not by seeing through your naked eyes,it is through the door of your heart.. Amen.

I believe in God, because He Is the Creator of the Universe and He is my creator. Because he has sent His Son for the Salvation and redemption from sin. Jesus is the Lord of my life, and I am grateful for what God has done for me personally and for all of humanity. That is why I believe in Him. We are the children of God, and there are some that still need to get to know their Father, and His unconditional love for us all. God bless you each and everyone.

well I think that whenit comes to God there is not place for "shud". Some people believe in Him some don't, but if one believes because he/she should believe that it is not a true fate. One is always free to decide if he does or does not belive...so no shoulds...

Why shouldn't you? I would rather believe then end up in hell. Wouldn't you? Plus, if there isn't a God then how did we get here? God created us and the world around us.

God, or reality, does not depend upon our belief. Our connection to God / reality exists regardless and sometimes despite our belief.
