  Welcome Stephen, I hope you find someone here to discuss the Bible with you, if not the Site you were directed to above is worth a look.

  I have on a number of occasions used the Christadelphians as an example when speaking with JW's, who claim that Jesus chose them in 1919 as his Organization on Earth.

  The JW's ridiculous claim makes no sense when you compare what their religion under Rutherford was like at the time, supporting the War effort etc, and the peace loving Christadelphians, who were truly Conscientious Objectors, from the time of the American Civil War, I believe.

  I think galaxie made some excellent points.

  I guess before I could get into a biblical discussion with you I would need to know what you believe about the bible. Do you believe that it is literally god's word? Is the bible more or less good stories that we can learn life lessons from? If you in fact believe it is inspired by the creator of the universe, before I pattern my life after its teachings, I would need to know what proof do you have of this? and how is your proof different or more convincing then muslims have for their koran?

  Yes i would agree with you that many people and many religions believe that unless you are part of their religion you have no hope

  However i believe and i know that many others believe now that that is not true

  ... three things to get eternal life.
  

  ..

  Repent and be baptised

  This is a contradiction, since you believe eternal life is based on being a Christian. Yet half the world know nothing of Christianity and have no opportunity to ever be baptised. Such a belief is an relic from a past time when people had no idea of how large the world was or the varied belief systems of the different continents.

  Acts5v29

  Good afternoon Billy,

  By the way, I'm not really trying to start a new religion, nor to explain Revelation (Chinese whispers)

  It was once believed that when a person is part of the "right" religion you get a free pass to whatever blessing you believe to be coming

  I do not think this way, more Christ says three things to get eternal life.

  Love thy God

  Love Thy neighbour as thyself

  Repent and be baptised

  I believe whatever the religion if you do these things you will be given the blessings through the grace and mercy of God

  I think where I differ from you is in the view of what the issue is. Many religions say they can help us get personal salvation, but I believe the issue is far greater than that. As for our ultimate salvation, I think we're in good hands if we trust our Friends in the Heavens.

  "Billy's Got A Gun"
  
  

  Billy's got a gun, he's on the run
  Confusion in his mind, the blind leads the blind
  Oh, Billy's got a gun, he's gonna shoot ya down
  He's got evil in his eyes, got a reason to despise
  There's danger in the air
  
  Can you feel it in the air?
  Danger (Such a strange emotion)
  Can you feel it in the air?
  
  Oh he was locked inside a room without a door
  His innocence he suffered for
  In a world of black and white, they were wrong and he was right
  Just looking for a clue, it's a nightmare come true
  He's going underground to track that danger down
  Oh Billy, why you got that gun?
  
  Never give him an even break
  Gettin' caught is the chance you take
  It could be your last mistake
  (You could be so helpless)
  As a bird with a broken wing
  Like a sheep in a lion's den
  Gonna fall but you won't know when
  
  You hear footsteps in the night, see shadows on the wall
  And the ghastly sound of silence, as the mist begins to fall
  Then a scream rang out like thunder, but the lightning was too late
  
  As the rain came down on the crimson ground
  It was the hand of fate
  And a crowd of people gathered round, but Billy couldn't wait

  Welcome Billy. I was once a JW but now atheist. I have seen no evidence that the bible is from a god/s or that god/s exist. Sorry I can't answer any of your questions.

  Oh come on Acts 529, the real reason you are here is to peddle your website and " your ministry" which is nothing more than regurgitated Watchtower spin off doomsday bullspit.
  

  Chinese whispers? Really?
  

  I doubt your "friends in heaven" have any room for a racist (insert colorful word here) like you.

  FYI we call it the whisper game or messenger game in classrooms here in Asia (Try and guess why)

  Acts5v29

  Bonsai,

  Of course I will recommend what I have found to be useful - don't we all - but as a removal of fear with no strings attached. Do not confuse it with the manner of fear-inducing religions.

  I doubt your "friends in heaven" have any room for a racist (insert colorful word here) like you.

  That slander should be beneath you - I an not racist.
