Jesus is the judge (page 2)

fullofdoubtnow: When Jesus came, He preached that we are to love God, and eachother. He didn't say you have to read our writings, go to church every sunday, work all the time, ect.

Please don't leave God who loves you just because the jw's left a bad impression on you. If you ever talk to the Lord, just ask Him to show you what it's all about, and He'll show you. You don't have to rely on religion, understanding the scriptures, or anything but Jesus Christ and His Father.

They are real people, with hearts and minds of their own, and if you just ask them, they can show you the whole truth.

My best advice for anyone is not to rely on the teachings of men, but go to Jesus who said Himself "Let not any of you be called rabbi (which means teacher), for one is your teacher, and that is the Christ."

Thanks, but no thanks.

I am content with life as it is now, and have neither the need or the desire to "go" to anyone I don't believe in.

What-A-Coincidence

Your are citing a book that is almost 2000 years old. Since then, and even before that, man has lived and died. No book can change that FACT. Live and enjoy life. Peace.

Actually I really just want to point to a living person, not just quote a book. Like I say, I know Jesus. I talk to Him and He answers, and I'm not the only one who hears from Him. If ever you want to know Him (and I don't just mean blindly believe in something, but have a real relationship with the one who made you), all you have to do is ask Him. That's right, you're not obligated to go to church, read anything I've written, wear certain clothes, take communion, or anything else. Just ask and see what happens.

Well, soulfinder -- that is about as clear as a bucket of mud.

You came on here spouting scripture and giving us all a dose of your lifes purpose, and you are either unwilling or unable to give us a straight answer as to why you are here.

We simply want to understand what your past connection to the JW world was, and if you cannot give an honest answer that is understandable to an ordinary poster, then ---

I am going to have to conjure up Hans Christian Anderson.

Go figure.

Of course you can follow what a very old collection ancient writtings say, and believe they are God's word, but you must understand that just because these words were written so long ago does not make them any truer then if they were written say 50 years ago. Why is it that we believe simply because it is an ancient book that has been the basis of 2 general types of religion(Jews & Chrisitans).

It seems that the older a story is the more beleivable it becomes to many, for these same people (the majority of them), if somebody told them a story about a miracle worker doing the same things the Jesus of the bible did, they would not beleive it, they would probably call the guy an imposter, a fruad, they would probably be more critical in their examination of supposed evidence, to make sure they didn't get decieved. But let these stories be found in a ancient book, and all critical thinking gets shoved aside, and the story gets swallowed, hook, line, and sinker as true.

It is funny how the passage of time makes a story more believable to people, when really the opposite is true.

Like I've been saying, I don't just follow a book, I know Jesus personally. Perhaps if you were to ask Him yourself whether or not He is there and the bible is the truth, He would show you Himself.

As far as my connection to the jw's, I posted earlier that I just follow the Lord. I do not fall into any denomination, nor do I choose to. I know Jesus, and mostly what He wants from me is to love His God, Him, and my brothers and sisters, and to follow Him.

Denominations have become pretty political, and you can choose to worship the Lord in their specific ways, but the truth is that both Jehova and His Son are real people, and if you want to know them, all you have to do is go to them and ask. You don't have to be a member of a specific church, read certain material, go through any school, do any sort of work, all you have to do is ask.

Relationships take work, and if you want to have one with the Lord (as a son, daughter, or whathaveyou) then it takes commitment, sacrifice, honesty, and of course love. There are good times and bad times, but sharing all your times with someone you love and who loves you makes even the bad times better. I can tell you, just by spending time talking with Jesus, and going through life with Him and His Father that they are good people, really patient, kind, and understanding.

Why not ask God to know Him? What do you have to lose? I'm not a liar, nor do I believe in lying. I'm not trying to get you to join a church, or anything. Just want to introduce you to the two who created you and love you. You can go to them anytime, anywhere, and it's something you can do on your own, without me or anyone else. The choice is yours.

Soul,

I can tell you, just by spending time talking with Jesus, and going through life with Him and His Father that they are good people, really patient, kind, and understanding.

So I take by this statement you do all the talking in this relationship, and Jesus never speaks to you back like a normal conversation.

soulfinder

He speaks to me directly, person to person. I don't mean to say that I'm special or anything, the Lord talks to whomever He chooses. I'm not the only one either. There are several accounts of Him talking to people, even to children.

If you don't believe me, just ask Him to talk to you. Please remember to be humble, and straightforward. He just might.

Soul,

How do you know it is not you own thoughts that makes it seem as if Jesu is talking to you?
