truth about the last days
Belive it or not, with the Holy Spirit with me- I have the Truth! With lots of studying i know EXACTLY what is going on in the world. But of course, we do not know everything. In relation to the scripture in Matt 28:18 onwards, it states from that time on that authority was given him to say to the Apostals to make "diciples of peoples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the son and of the holy spirit". NWT I remember when i was baptized I was NOT baptized in the name of the "Father and of the son or the holy spirit" but i had to answer some questions on the day of my baptisim, starting with "Do you...". Then the scripture continues "TEACHING them to observe all the things that I have commanded you". So, this "teaching" was all about "observing" what Jesus commanded his Apostles. Once we learned as to what those "commands" are, we also apply these to our lives and to tell others as to what Jesus commanded his Apostles. Only this can be done from what the scriptures say, and not to what we think or heresay. Another scripture that needs pondering over, is Matt 24:14. It is written, "And this good news or the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come." NWT It is true to say today that the good news is being preached mainly by JWs, but the scripture does not say as to if the witnessing would be done by good people or bad people. We may natually assume that it would be good persons doing the work,but as we know it is mainly done by those ones who wishes to lie about certern things in the process of the preaching work. And as we know, the "preaching of the Kingdom" also needs to be also done during that 1000yr reign, and even after that when Saten is let "loosed after a little while" the preaching would also have to be done to those ones of the Resserection of the "unrighteous ones". And then, the scripture does state that the "end will come". This is when the "Resurection of the rightous" ones will take place, as these ones names are written in the "book of life".

This is nothing but pure dogma so I don't consider it "truth" . The facts of scripture say otherwise . The truth is that christ was the messiah and died so that all those excersising faith in him "might" not be destroyed .

Is truth our Creator's opinion on things?
We have our own opinions or things we consider truth to us, Is His THE truth?
Does this make sense?
Is His truth the most powerful of all?
How could ours hold up to His?
Like a mechanic insisting that the engineers screwed up on power window circuit, yet the engineers designed it to only go halfway down to prevent it from going down too far, to secretly protect the passengers from carjacking.
excuse this terrible analogy, it was from the hip.

>Anyone who follows a god that says 'Worship me or i'll KILL you' is as far from the TRUTH as the earth is from the sun.
You are talking about the cult teaching, right? If so then you are ok. Now if you mean that the Bible teaches that, you are absolutely wrong. All souls live on after the physical realm is traversed. There are two possibilities, 'smoking or non-smoking'.

>The Bible doesnt contain any TRUTH, if anything it distracts consciousness from what is actual, real and true!
Really? How can you KNOW that? Prove your assertion.

What is reality? Is it the physical realm we inhabit now or the afterlife where our souls will reside for eternity?

I dont find any way to KNOW what THE TRUTH is...I only seem able to notice what SEEMS true for me now.
and I find people like JWs and most others trying to make me take a stand and LIE to them and myself and pretend to KNOW what I Only believe.
I find most people seem to be unable to seperate experiences from beliefs about them....
seems to me that all experiences are facts, but beliefs about them is where errors can creep in.... yet when I say this, most people ask me about the possiblity of the experience being false.... I try to explain to them the experience can never be false... but the belief about what they are and mean can be false.

Yes, I can see how that is a better alternative.
