Where would we go, is the question

by Pistoff in

what better place, what better world can be offered, is the question tossed at those who have left.. what if it is just the same place, without taking everything we hear at the kingdom hall as gospel?.

can we just take with a grain of salt the things we know deep down are without basis?.

it is the same place, with the same friends, but without the drama of feeling that you can never do enough, that you were born sinful.. a faith that does not ask you to treat your family as disposable; a place that does not kick people to the curb when they need their family the most; a faith that lets you trust your heart, not ignore it.. can we just stay in the same place, and realize that we do not have to sacrifice our childrens lives by denying them blood if desperately needed?

There is a far better place to go.The place Messiah told beleivers to enter into. The Messiah himself, he dwells in you not man made churches . The true church is not made with stones or bricks but dwells within you, Christ is within you, lives in you and he is revealing himself in people who strip away the layers of everything of this world.The KIngdom is within you and hasbeen ruling since the 1st century, there is no need of any other kingdom or thing seen, Messiah did away with that system 2000 years ago.In him there is no law, the seperation of the written wordwhich is the testimony about Christ with the living word has to take place for all to enter into him

Is there Such a Thing as TIme

by givemejustalittlemoretime in

the present moment is real.

however much you may remember the past or anticipate the future, you live in the present.

the next second of your life is the future.

The present moment is real. However much you may remember the past or anticipate the future, you live in the present. The next second of your life is the future. Of course, the moment during which you read that sentence is no longer happening. This one is. In other words, it feels as though time flows, in the sense that the present is constantly updating itself. We have a deep intuition that the future is open until it becomes present and that the past is fixed. As time flows, this structure of fixed past, immediate present and open future gets carried forward in time. This structure is built into our language, thought and behavior. How we live our lives hangs on it. Does mans concept of time meaning, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks etc etc fit in with the flow of the universe

Silence after stating my confusion about "144,000"

by tidalblitz in

the 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.

givemejustalittlemoretime

The 144,000 suffered for being faithful we ahve the testimony of what happened to them in the scriptures old and new. The Great Tribulation was in the 1st century a one time event never to be seen again THe 1000 year rule is symbolic of eternity. As his Kingship is eternal

The Image of Jesus

by givemejustalittlemoretime in

why do wts portraythe messiah with neatly combed, cut hair and western origin looking in their pictures.

givemejustalittlemoretime

It's irrelevant what color or what Messiah looked like, it's what he did that counts

The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Bad

by God_Delusion in

hi guys and gals!.

i've just put the finishing touches to my latest article, which talks about the tree of the knowledge of good and bad.. you see, i've always been fascinated with the tree of knowledge and the tree of life.

both are incredibly weird stories.

givemejustalittlemoretime

It was symbolic spiritual metaphor .The tree of the knowledge ofgood and bad was the fruit from satan. THe garden of eden was full of good fruit which they could eatwhich was Jesus. The fruit represents knowledge of how to grow to become Christ like and become immortal, the fruit Satan offered was one that lead ot death, he lied to them and they choose the wrong fruit to partake so could not enter into that covenant arrangement under God.

Does consciousness end with the death of the body

by givemejustalittlemoretime in

apparently, 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.
