Eden one, god, allah, Yahweh. the lord has many names. He loves them all. I'm sure he loves how we humans can spread the love and cheer of him through title expression.

Why people don't believe in God
by pressman indo you want to know why i think people don't believe in god?
well i believe people don't want to believe in god because they are scared.
they know that if they finally do gorge the confidence to believe in him, he might discipline them for their skepticism.

cofty, God is not threating and emotionally blackmailing you. You see, that is the problem with the world today. People are so quick to reject the lord after they say they have considered all the "facts and evidence". god is a truth and you should know that belief in God is not something you can see or not see with just facts and evidence. you have to believe. not study, but believe. You see, studying so called evidence takes nothing from you to do. You just open a book and let your eyes twirl. Having faith takes the integrity mixed with your inner power. Do not be afraid to be strong and believe just because some book says so. I am only giving you the best advice on this I can. -

Do you want to know why I think people don't believe in God? Well I believe people don't want to believe in God because they are scared. They know that if they finally do gorge the confidence to believe in him, he might discipline them for their skepticism. Now I would like to invite everyone on this forum to wake up and open your eyes to see that God is true and real. For he is God the Lord. The creator and ruler of all. As the scrolls say: "But as ye God is trueth, our wordeth toward you was not yea and nay." (2 Cor. chap. 1 v. 18)
And remember that just because you don't have proof of the lord, doesn't mean he isn't real. Believing in the Allah, the greatest spirit to ever live, will make your life pure. All he wants us to do is recognize him and live everyday for him. I realize that anyone who says they don't believe in God either had a rough childhood or just doesn't want to admit there is something greater than them, someone who gives them moral absolutes to follow. I beg all you who don't believe to not be afraid. God does not want you to be misled into oblivion. All he wants is the best from you and for you. Anyone who does not believe in the Lord is part of the worldwide religious problem. You need to wake up and stop being selfish for everyone's sake. Do not live your entire life without recognizing the true Yahweh because you will truly regret it when your dead.

The Bible Gods Word or Mans
by azor ini remember studying this book years ago and how it impacted my belief system.
i no longer believe the bible is god's word.
however i do have a couple of lingering questions on this subject.

truthfully god wrote the bible. the only one name that is necessary is god. otherwise you'd have to name all the other men who wrote the first few books of the bible. -

How do you feel about religion as a whole?
by FatherFirst init just seems to me religion in general primarily makes truly bad people worse, not genuinly good people better; and in many cases has even made good people do bad things in the name of their religion.
just curious, a personal poll if you will.
what are you guys' current views on religion as a whole?

well said. we all need some sort of illusion that something, such as religion, is the key to success. but it isn't so. Rationals will always be a rarity saidly. -

The Watchtower are Right About Blood...
by cofty in... but, they fail to take note of one important detail.. i believe that if we are going to have any chance of reasoning with a jw about blood, this is the place we need to begin.. don't try to convince them that it was only a dietary law.
it wasn't, and they will never go along with it.. don't tell them that saving a life is more important than obeying a law, even a seemingly trivial one.
they take pride in obedience.

I misinterpreted the original post. i was wrong because i thought acknowledging that blood is crucial to life was siding with what the witnesses believe. Now i realize it is true thanks to faye. -

the Fink, just because some archaeologists made up stuff does not mean the bible is false and that is was made by power driven people. It was made out of love from god. I suppose you have not read the tower of babel through because you will see why we speak different languages today. the scientific methods on creation are all false and nothing but assumptions just like jehovahs witness claims of people who are not one of them. -

Faye dunaway, great words. That is the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I like that you kept it simple and that is how you would have to do to get a witness to understand. there are some witnesses that can see the falseness of the blood doctrine by way of what you said or something along those lines. But you have to be shrewd to get it to the ones who will listen. keeping it real and simple is the best way. -

wizzstick, if anyone changed it, it was through the lord god. I don't think that is even true about leaving out an entire pslam book. What psalms? The first psalms or the second one? Even though I don't believe it is true, i would like your input on the matter. also may i ask what the hebrew word chug has to do with anything? the circle of the earth from the bible is the best proof that it is true. If you cannot see that you are blind. May i also ask you how can you refute the holy book when prophecies are still being fulfilled to this very day? when interpreted honestly, accurately and without any preconceived notions proves the Biblical account. no other legitimate viewpoint exists because the only alternative to the truth is a lie. this is why the god's scriptures is true. im indifferent about the end of times though because i believe based on what is written and said that it is meant for then not now and i believe scalps of fear for the end is what has failed most purposed religion. all the visions of daniel were figurative to me and my church and they help us all to learn to be nice people and care for our fellow man. this is why I got out of the jw religion, it does not constitute the true message of the bible. -

Jonathan Drake, I meant that god allowed christians he was contacted with to misinterpret it because they are humans. What i am really saying is that no man who was not communicating with god directly would be able to change the scriptures which is what a lot of people would have us believe. How do we know they used the moon and sun to assert the earth was a sphere. They could not see the earth from a far. it was really the bible that let people know that information. If you really think about it, it all makes sense that god would give them that info. and since humans have got away from god since then, its logical that they would create lies about the bible to claim its false. The truth of the bible is obvious to anyone willing to fairly investigate it. it is uniquely self-consistent and extraordinarily authentic. It has changed the lives of millions of people who have placed their faith in Christ. it has been confirmed countless times by archaeology and other sciences. it possesses divine insight into the nature of the universe and has made correct predictions about distant future events with perfect accuracy. when christians read the Bible, we cannot help but recognize the voice of their creator. the proof of the bible is that unless its truth is presupposed, we couldn’t prove anything at all.
