ive been to hospital and had a biopsy taken from a lump in my breast today
by looloo ini was expecting to just get examined then told it was nothing to worry about but i also had a mamogram , then scan .
the lump i was worried about was ok but the scanner found one behind it that she was not sure about , she took a biopsy from it after i had a local anesthetic and sent me back to the doctor who told me i would now have to wait a week for those results !
when i had arrived i was told i would be told today if everything is ok !

A FOUR LETTER WORD FOR DEBATOR

Why would GOD/Jehovah ( I presume a perfect deity ) rely on imperfect, sinfull humans to spread his word of" truth". Look at all the interpretations , rationale, conflicting beleifs that men and women have to the various translations of the bible..and this has been going on for near 2000 years ....Nobody can agree on anything...Yet supposedly getting the right information is essential for gaining everlasting life.

Satan gets off scot free with his rebellion !!
by smiddy inthink about it..... eve was supposedly deceived by satan,and adam, afraid of losing his partner went along with her folly.the outcome??.
adam & eve were told they would die in the" day" of their eating of the forbidden fruit.. that didn`t happen,they both lived hundreds of years after this event,fathering and mothering sons & daughters.
did god lie or was he just inadequate in articulating his judgement.. god said in the day you eat of it`s fruit you will surely die.

Adam & Eve were told they would die in the" day" of their eating of the forbidden fruit.

Did God lie or was he just inadequate in articulating his judgement.
God said in the day you eat of it`s fruit you will surely die. Well we know they didn`t die in that" day"but what`s worth noting is he didn`t say a word about the multitude of sicknesses, illnesses,.diseases,mental illnesses,and afflictions,including old age,alzheimers,dementia,cancers,heart attacks,and a million other afflictions that affect humankind today.and a great deal of those that are suffering are millions of young children. So what`s my point???,if you beleive the scriptual veiw....,humans have experienced the afflictions and more since at least the last 6000 years,compare that suffering with what the originator of that lie, Satan the devil, has had to deal with over the same period of time .Absolutely none,...of what Adam and Eve and their offspring have endured all these centuries ago.I ask again what physical suffering has Satan and his demons experienced??If none because they are spiritual beings , arent the scales of justice biased towards them?? We have a lifespan of 3score and ten,or theirabouts ,they apparently are still alive since b4 the earth was founded.It seems to me that humans have got the short end of the stick since day one.Comparing the two it seems to me that Satan has got the better deal by far.

If God truly loved humans...why not reveal himself ? So that they could make an informed decision ?
by smiddy inwe learn from the bible that god spoke to adam ,then certain faithful ones,then after moses only the preisthood that was established,and individuals, raised as prophets,and this by the way is only a a small select group on the planet.never mind about other groups of humans.
fastforward to the era of christ ,again, god is only dealing with a small select group to advise and admonish.during the time from moses to christ he was only dealing with what became one small nation.the rest of humankind were left to their own devices.fastforward down to this 21st century we have no guidance/instruction/prophets to instruct or guide us.
( i know this is where jw`s would say but we have been preaching & teaching you god`s truths since 1879 ) all i can say their, is take your head out of the sand and look at all the changes ,corrections adjustments,re-adjustments,reversals,and failed expectations of prophecy you have published over this last century )so as to my question why hasn`t the god of the universe revealed himself to all humans of every race on all continents instead of just a small select group, if he truly was interested in the human race.

Hey Guys
Some of you have gone off on a tangent (typical jehovah`s witness strategy,even if you didn`t intentionally mean to) Keep to the subject knowing their are more non christian people on earth today,and the gap gets wider with every passing hour,so why are beleivers relying on something that was written ( or supposedly written ) 2000 odd years ago??? Where is GOD today???

Those that defend God still fall back on the writings of 2000 odd years ago and the beleif you have to have faith.I see a problem with those looking back 2000 years ,with the knowledge we have today, and applying it to the writers of that day....As for having faith?..,well we can see where that can lead you, up the garden path!!!.That`s why the majority of us are here....2000 years of no direct communication with God,and what do we find according to the Britanica Book Of The Year for the year 1999 ? .World wide christians, 1billion 974 million 181 thousand,....included in this is, 1 Billion 044 million 236 thousand Roman Catholics..... Non christians 4 Billion,004 million,220 thousand.....included in this 1,billion,155 million,109 thousand Muslims for a total population the of 5 billion 979 million 3 thousand in 1998 .I`m no rocket scientist but it begs the question, in this day and age. "If God Truly loved Humans...Why not reveal himself ? So that they can make an informed decision?"
