God can declare righteous whoever he wants to. One minute an apposer like Paul or the Roman soldier who was not even a Christian had more faith than anyone. In the blink of an eye peoples perception of Christ will be changed.

Does consciousness end with the death of the body
by givemejustalittlemoretime inapparently, the carvakas in anceint hinduism were materialists and skeptics, arguing that consciousness ends with the death of the body and that therefore we should take pleasure in this life while we possess it and practice compassion toward others.
they also argued that direct observation is the only certain way to know anything, and thus the existence of supernatural forces and realities cannot be established and must be rejected.

Christ conciouness exists for eternity so therefore it does go on after death. If someone is not christ consious by the time they die in the flesh then ? THe fusion between his conciouness and yours takes place. Existing outside of time and motion. We are all Christ conscious even if we do not beleive in him. Because the fathers plan is to reconcile ALL back to himself

Losing Faith in Faith..
by Dis-Member ini came across this lecture at 3am not being able to sleep by dan baker.
it details his transition from christian fundamentalist to atheist and the various shades in-between.
he realises that every denomination of christian can open the bible and prove to you that they have the right interpretation and everyone else is wrong.

Science cannot debunk faith, it cannot be measured, the revealtion of Jesus Christ within cannot be measured either

How much did the other countries pay for the 1000 kingdom halls in the philippines!
by StephaneLaliberte inref: http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/activities/construction/1000-kingdom-halls-philippines/.
while looking at the article one thousand kingdom halls and counting on jw.org, it immediately made me think: ahhh, this is where a large portion of the funds for the construction projects must go.
clearly, the philippinos are all poor and they need the financial support of richer countries.

Thats right abe AMEN. THeseperation of knowing about Christ in a book and knowing him personally is taking place, those who are surrendering to the living word are stepping out of the shadows and the churches to be set free from mans ways to be taught by him alone. In him aloneyou will find rest not in a religion or church, he doe snotdwell in man made structures or temples, he dwells in you

Silence after stating my confusion about "144,000"
by tidalblitz inthe other night, i was told about a question that a friend's bible study had asked them.
the bible study asked: "if jesus is perfect, why does he need the 144,000 to help him rule?
" this friend does not know how to answer this question.

The 144,000 was a special arrangement for Israel , they came from the twelve tribes and redeemed in the 1st century. But the oneness withthose who rule with Christ now is him in them and us so there is no seperation. The invitation to eat with Christ is extended to all

The bible is the testimony of Christ and what he did as a man to show us the way to live in love and mercy for others. THe written word was for when we were under law which has been done away with, "you keepsearching thescriptures thinking in them you have life", we have life by the living word of him inside, whichshould flow once werelease ourselves of living under law, once we are the lord himself will teach each of us the way to walk andno one will needanyoneto teach usanything. Though we have to watch how we walk in that freedom as not an exuce to do whatever we want. SO Christ within is revealed in the fullness ,the fruits of which will be living a life of love and mercy for all

Shunning is not of the spirit. Its a fleshly process that encapultes all that is wrong with mankind. Jesus died for all to be saved for all time whether that person or not accepts it. True Christians are to have the same mercy that was shown us for our wrongs past, present and future. In true love there is no judgment or condemnation. SO true loves demands we have the same mindset. Where is the love and mercy in shunning,there is none

Can God Really see the Future?
by Randomthoughts inthis is regarding the garden of eden/apple dispute.. if the all knowing, all powerful god sees/knows the future then surely the angels (that he created) should know the god knows the future.. now god knows that humans cannot rule themselves, hence the angels should also know this 'fact'.. why does he need to prove this point to the angels (as is taught by the wt)?.
do the angels doubt the almighty god or do they have a reason not to trust or believe him?.

It was Gods desire to fellowship with man. Adam had the opportunity to grow into perfection.He chose the wrong fruit. He had at his disposal every other fruit and living waters, which were symbolic of being at one with God in the fullness of the spirit. The same thing applies today, so when we decide we will eat of that good fruit whichis from Christ ,the way is opend up to reveal Christ in you and once again reconciled with God. It does not come from a religion or a book, He is the living word, within you either buried by layers upon layers from man and religion stop the fullness of him in you or revealed the bible is the testimony of Christ and now all mankind is forgiven so he will be made manifest in everyone
