There are 2 Questions that generate more Pain,Suffering & Death, than any other question in existence.

These 2 questions are :

"Does God Exist?"
"Who is God"?

There is another question, that can bring Peace & Harmony, instead of Hatred & Pride.. This question is "What is God like".

When the answer to "What is God like" is properly understood, the other two questions will lose their relevance. We're not asking "Who God is" we're asking what is He/She/It Like... For this reason we can substitute God with "Universe","Evolution","Nature". The question can be asked like this.. "What is the Universe | God | Nature like?"

There is a Current Thread entitled 'Does Anyone Still Believe in God?' In this Thread, the comment is made "if God exists, then it is up to him to let people know." - LoveUniHateExams

By examining what God is Like, we can see Who he is, and we can prove his existence.

In Matthew 6:4 Jesus implores his Disciples to "Give in Secret".. If this is taken literal, the receiver of a Gift would not even know that they have received a Gift.. Rather they will think that they owe their good fortune to themselves, and no one else..

If God commands us to do something, he is likewise bound to the command.. God cannot expect us to be Truthful, if he himself Lies, He cannot expect us to Give in Secret, if he himself Gives, simply to be Observed by others.

To help understand God's style of Leadership.. I'll quote Lao Tzu {Tao Te Ching}

"A leader is best When people barely know he exists. Of a good leader, who talks little, When his work is done, his aim fulfilled,
They will say, “We did this ourselves."

God is Like a Silent Ruler, who puts the Interest's of his Troops above his own fame or notoriety.

God is Manifest & Unmanifest.. God is Manifest in all Living Beings, and Unmanifest as a Super Natural God in Heaven.. Through out all Holy Books, there is one consistent message, namely.. Man is made in the Image of God.. Meaning God is in Man.. Meaning Man is God.. Meaning the Way in Which we treat Mankind is the Way we treat God.

To understand the Question "What is God Like" we must First Understand what All Living Beings are Like. Following this Path will lead to finding the Truth.

Is it worth making a JW Talk profile?

by Lemonp in

i have looked at the jw talk forums every now and again.

is it any use making a profile to get in?

mainly just to laugh at the pathetic discussion that they carry on with.

Whose God are you worshipping??

by Crazyguy in

in the early writings of the bible its mentioned that the israelites worshiped false gods, gods of the stars and other celestial bodies.

ezekiel even bloviates against this in his writings and king josiah is said to have abolish these practices.

jeremiah mentions that god would even destroy the city were sun worship was being practiced a place called bethshemesh in egypt.

LAWHFol

Nice points crazy, I believe that you're on to something for sure. Outside of scriptures & history, this can be considered With Logic & Reason alone.

The God that created the Universe, is a God of Order, when he sets one law in place, he does not at a later time scrap that law, and replace it. If this God were to change principles in nature, because he was emotional or mad.. The Universe would fall apart..

Wih this Unchangeable nature in Mind.. Things like this can't happen - Prov 12:10 "Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel." Compared to Joshua 11:6 "Joshua did to them as the LORD had directed: He hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots."

I don't know when and where the different Gods interchange, however it seems to be a sure thing, that there were many or several Gods. Another forum member, recently brought this to my attention- "Stephen, the first martry, quoted someting in Isaiah about when Israel wandered for 40 years they weren't following God but following a different one and his star."

JW Threatened me with Violence Today :)

by cofty in

i popped into the supermarket for a few things after work today and found myself walking up an aisle alongside a couple who used to be in my tuesday group.

i see them reasonably often and always say hello much to their obvious annoyance.

i noticed that ian was sporting a shaggy beard.

Good job Cofty - Keep up the fine fight.

Ray Franz was an Idiot

by vinman in

ray franz who gave us insight into the gb due to a crisis of conscience was an absolute moron, with absolutely no critical thinking skills whatsoever like all of us have.

i mean, to have a conscience based on some magic man in the sky.. how stupid can you be?

in search of christian freedom?

LAWHFol

Vinman - People will read this post of yours after you have died, and they will say of you "what a moron"

The Vedas - Scientific Knowledge - Prophecy - The Truth?

by LAWHFol in

the vedas are the core sacred texts for the people of the east.

generally the vedas are to the east as the hebrew scriptures are to the west.

supporters of the bible, boast of it's scientific accuracy,prophetic accuracy & general infallibility.

LAWHFol

DoofdDaddy - Thanks for the link, which contains a quote, further emphasizing my point.. Oppenheimer - “access to the Vedas is the greatest privilege this century may claim over all previous centuries.”

Are you implying that Oppenheimer was actually some type of Cult Leader?

Perhaps you're saying that this is a Cult kind of like Scientology, but instead of Having Tons of Celebrities as Members, This Cult has Top-Tier Physicists,Philosophers & Politicians?

You might be onto something..
