    Ozzie I dont want to turn this into a dispute. This was intented to share my belief in the softer side of the bible and for others to say what they think, not to start a debate. If you dont agree thats ok, if not why dont you agree with the comfort of that scripture?

    agape: You won't find i did say i didn't find comfort in the scripture, it's just that you've put it up as a text that you find encouraging, and presumably to all, and so i am asking why you do find it so. Care to share?

    Agapa,

    Just curious, are you an active jehovah's witness?

    And here was I thinking that this was a thread on the NWT soft covers introduced as a cost saving exercise.

    Apparently I asked my mother why they had done this and she said it was for everyones convenience...haha...I just love the spin!

    She didnt like it when I said it looked and felt cheap lol

    well ozzie you ask why i feel it is so comforting? In my reply to crumpet i stated why. Ok crumpet the one in Rev. 21:4-5 is one of my favorites because ALL humanity is touched by illness Illness and death is the cause of much human suffering, that is a fact and all of us are touched by it in some shape or form and i find it rather encouraging to know God sees that and will one day wipe it out!

    agape:

    So you agree that ALL humankind are included in this and that these words of John are directed to......well, to whom?

    I'll give you a clue: look at Revelation 7:17

    Wouldn't be so comforting if you're hellbound would it?
