can we rely solely on christ and his sacrifice for our sins to be forgiven, or do we have to attribute our own works upon his finished work?
this video gives an explanation of the sacrifices made for israel under the law and what it meant at that time, and the sacrifice which christ made for ourselves under the age of grace today.
Means that some people will choose to not be in the presence of God. Then God will take his grace away from these people. They would be isolated from God by their own request. Hell is a place separated from God.
Just like you hate to hear about God and would want to live in a place where nobody will talk about God. We call this place hell because we think humans were created to worship God. So a place without God is unnatural to human beings.

It's very easy to notice that human nature has something broken. But not totally broken.
Jesus will not torture anyone. Hell is closed from inside.
i asked the question on quora: .
if the governing body abandoned the 1914 teaching, would you leave jehovah's witnesses or you would remain a member regardless?.

They can drop 1914 and embrace the doctrine of hell. No JW would care...
They are a social club based on 1950's clothing and fashion.
i think this is a well developed discussion, of ian stevenson's work in investigating people's past lives claims.

The body is the actuality and the soul is the potentiality.
So there's a correlation between the body and the soul.
The cause of the body is the soul. Souls can only function without a body if they are separated by death.
i'm an atheist as i do not see any evidence for the existance of a god.
i encourage critical thinking in everyone and am ready to debate anyone on whether or not there is a god and what that god might be like.

You can only reason if you have premises first.
The premise that says "the human mind is capable of understanding the universe better than any other animal" cannot be proved by any reasoning but it must be taken as true.
This particular premise it's the first block of any reasoning.

Faith is a product of grace (God's free gift). Grace can be resisted. Faith it's not based on reason. Faith it's not irrational but beyond reason. Reason it's based on faith. Reason is built upon premises of faith (self evident truths).

Look at their flags... Lol
BTW belief in God it's a gift. If you don't have it then you don't have it. Belief in God it's not achieved by persuasive reasoning.

Yes we are still haunted by the same colors. Now they are only vertically different.

The Atheists here talk more about God than the average JW.
Even if God doesn't exist (compared to what?) certainly the idea of God truly exists.
This idea it's the most powerful idea in human history. People literally live and die for it. And a lot of time is spent discussing this idea more than any other.
How Atheists explain this phenomenon? Is it only a coincidence? Why the idea of God is the most popular idea in a Godless world?
