Find the bible's answer to these questions at JW.org.

Wouldn't you find the bible's answer in the bible?

Just a piece of paper folded in half, how lame.

Depending on how far you look into the sky from earth, the heavens are still being created from our perspective.

Does that make sense?

Gerrit Lösch Tells his life story/ One word SICKENING

by suavojr in

this article is sickening, not a single word about love towards others, care for the needy or any kind act.

but since i worked 72 hours each week in a hotel restaurant, i first had to make some changes.. i asked my boss whether he would allow me to work 60 hours instead.

i next asked to be allowed to work only 36 hours per week, or 6 hours on 6 days, and that request was also granted.

What a differance in boasting compared to Pauls reluctant boasting. (1Cor. 11:5 - 1Cor. 12:13)

Good Lawd, I wouldn't want to be a governing body when it comes time to meet your maker!

Why did God test Abraham?

by jws in

when jws come around with their articles asking "is god cruel?

", i often point them to genesis 22:2:.

2 then god said, take your son, your only son, whom you loveisaacand go to the region of moriah.

The reason God tested Abraham was to show us what not to do.

Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord
your God to the test.'"

It was a common belief at the time that the gods wanted child sacrifices,

by having their god intervene the story showed the Jews that their god didn't approve of this act and they weren't to follow that ritual.

God also sacrificed his son to show us what not to do.

i admit i no longer believe in god and holy books.. thinking of the made up 'universal sovereignty' thing, surely if god existed in the way the holy books describe him then he could have thought of something better than humankind suffering thousands of years and the slaughter of jesus?.

couldn't god have said: 'well, satan is a very naughty boy but you all know how great i am so we can end it now.

i will lovingly kill satan and his mates and that's that.
