  Moo, so....you're suggesting best two out of three? I don't think anyone here is giving Jehovah the benefit of his wisdom.

  Hey, not a bad idea makes more sense then what the jaydubeeyas teach ; Did Jehovah's servants really obey him out of love or might all of them abandon God and follow the lead being given by Satan ? This latter issue was further developed by Satan in the days of Job. These issues could not be settled by merely executing the rebels. God has permitted both Satan and humans to try every form of government of their own making. None have brought lasting happiness.

  Satan wanted to prove that humans don't need Jehovah, so Jehovah decided to let humans try and fail

  I hear ya, the automated Jdub response .

  Jehovah rigged the contest though. Only a couple of obstacles death, sickness ect..... and quit talking to each other and start babeling.

  To have a fair test why not start over with another perfect couple, let them have perfect kids then see where that goes.

  'Christ's simple way is the only way, and it alone leads to eternal life.'
  
  Are you sure that it's the ONLY way?

  I meant this as encouragement to people who are looking for the biblical way to salvation, not as a debate for which form of belief system is correct.

  At least it did for me for.

  Thought I'd Share this chart from the Life applicaton study bible.

  Salvation through faith

  
  Religon by Self-effort Salvation by Faith

  Goal Please God by our own good works Trust in Christ and then live to
  please God
  
  Means Practice, diligent service, discipline, Confess, submit, and commit
  and obedience, in hope of reward yourself to Christ's control
  
  Power Good, honest effort through self- The Holy spirit in us helps us do
  determination good work for Christ's kingdom
  
  Control Self-motivation, self-control Christ in me; I in Christ
  
  Results Chronic guilt, apath, depression, Joy, thankfulness, love,
  failure, constant desire for approval guidance, service, forgiveness

  Salvation by faith in Christ sounds to easy for many people. They would rather think that they have done something
  to save themselves. Their religon becomes one of self-effort that leads either to disappointment or pride, but finally to eternal death.
  Christ's simple way is the only way, and it alone leads to eternal life.

  2. friends

  i was thinking back on some of the people i knew growing up, as well as my own family - many of whom are dubs... tell me what your own experiences are of these kind of people, did you notice a large prevalence of these types of people in the congs you attended:.

  1. health nuts: into all sorts of alternative health theories like iridology, reflexology, homeopathy etc?

  2. get rich quick folk: always getting involved in this scheme or that, this business or that - especially pyramid type things?.

  I think they should have included this story in the bible story book. That Jacob ..... his children were a chip off the old block.

  Oh, btw why don't the politically correct children have a New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures bible?

  2 There Judah met the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua. He married her and lay with her; 3 she became pregnant and gave birth to a son, who was named Er.

  15 When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. 16 Not realizing that she was his daughter-in-law, he went over to her by the roadside and said, "Come now, let me sleep with you."

  24 About three months later Judah was told, "Your daughter-in-law Tamar is guilty of prostitution, and as a result she is now pregnant."
  Judah said, "Bring her out and have her burned to death!"

  25 As she was being brought out, she sent a message to her father-in-law. "I am pregnant by the man who owns these," she said. And she added, "See if you recognize whose seal and cord and staff these are."

  26 Judah recognized them and said, "She is more righteous than I, since I wouldn't give her to my son Shelah." And he did not sleep with her again.

  If The Gov't In Myanmar Refuses Relief Assistance Should We Invade To Help?

  by minimus in

  personally, i think it's not our job to make sure aid is provided for humanitarian needs.

  if the government refuses the help, why should we force aid?

  Why invade?

  We can bomb like we always do to all countries.
