Abe, you believe that God will destroy even those who have never had the opportunity to get to know him?
Sunny,
Did you never have an opportunity?

So you are obliged to approve of genocide, infanticide, kidnap, foreced-marriage/rape, slavery and beating children.
You have the moral compass of a Taliban warlord.
He once destroyed a whole world full of wicked people.
I am 100% convinced he will do it again.
2 Peter 3:5-7
For, according to their wish, this fact escapes their notice, that there were heavens from of old and an earth standing compactly out of water and in the midst of water by the word of God; 6 and by those [means] the world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water. 7 But by the same word the heavens and the earth that are now are stored up for fire and are being reserved to the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly men.
What convinces me is the overwhelming amount of evidence that should drive any thought of scepticism beyond reasonable limits.
Everything Jesus Christ said would happen, is really happening!
A good place to start examining the evidence is in this video:

So knowing God is a qualification required to receive his undeserved kindness. "If you haven't heard about me, I kill you." Nice
Is that what you are going to say to Jesus Christ?
I have never heard about you!

What does that say about your moral compass?
That everything was created by God and it is entirely up to him to decide what is moral or just.
The determiation of what is moral does not belong to the people who he created.
Even if they imagine that it is.
That does leave an obligation for God to carefully communicate what is moral or just to his creation.
An obligation he has thoroughly communicated through the bible so that there will be absolutely no excuses.
My moral compass is guided by what Jesus Christ said in the sermon on the mount.

However this scripture says that God will destroy with fire those that don't even know of him. How do they "deserve" punishment by a God of Undeserved Kindness?
Read it again.
The undeserved kindness is towards the people that DO know him!

"Do you believe that those who don't believe in Jesus will be destroyed, when he comes at some time in the future, as stated at 2Thessalonians 1:7-9?"
Yep!
abe
i believe in god but i'm not sure of anything....what about you?.
I absolutely 100% believe in God, Jesus Christ and everything recorded in the bible.
The reason why is because of the overwhelming amount of evidence.
There is so much evidence that it has taken me years to examine what has cemented my own convictions.
The overwhelming amount of evidence should drive any thought of scepticism well beyond any reasonable limits.
Everything Jesus Christ said would happen, is really happening!
There is lots more after that!

You could just remain wilfully ignorant.

every paragraph and every article in this issue is nonstop heavy artillery fire propaganda.
i have never seen a wt so full of logical fallacies, appeals to emotion, appeals to authority, guilt tripping and bite techniques all in one issue!
paragraph 9 states clearly that even though the gb is imperfect, that does not matter, we must obey them anyways.
Watchtower-Free,
Here is one of the most blatant hypocrisies I have found in a Watchtower magazine:
w55 7/1 p. 411 Christian Baptism for the New World Society
A Christian, therefore, cannot be baptized in the name of the one actually doing the immersing or in the name of any man, nor in the name of any organization, but in the name of the Father, the Son and the holy spirit.

"... obedience to his organization..."
Has this never been said outright?
Seriously, I've read obedience to Jehovah. But to say "obedience to his organization? "
Those with knowledge of the history of the borg, please confirm!
w59 5/1 p. 269 Attain Completeness in the New World Society
To hold to the headship of Christ, it is therefore necessary to obey the organization that he is personally directing. Doing what the organization says is to do what he says. Resisting the organization is to resist him.
Here is Jesus Christ's commandment regarding these prophesied end time events:
Luke 21:8
He said: "Look out that YOU are not misled; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The due time has approached.’ Do not go after them.
Everything Jesus Christ said would happen, is really happening!!
