The KJV is the word of God. If you are reading from or teaching from any Bible other than the KJV, you are of Satan.
Little girls are the devil, so is fooz-ball.

Please clear up a confusion I have Do Christians believe that the AntiChrist will be Satan the Devil in human form?
by booker-t infor years i have been told different scenarios from different christian groups about who the antichrist will be.
some born agains have told me that the antichrist will be satan the devil stripped of all his powers and trapped in a human body on earth.
he will still have the same attitude and try to get people to worship him instead of jehovah and jesus.

My IFB preachers taught that the AC was a man who will be empowered by Satan and will bring about world peace for 42 months or times time and a half (3 and 1/2 years). This, of course, happens after the rapture of the church and during the 7 year tribulation period (basically the plot in the Left Behind movies).

RANDOM THOUGHTS on this and that
by Terry inour dependence on getting the answers from others is what got us in trouble in the first place.
my view is this: nobody has a secret pipeline to absolute knowledge about anything.
they are all pretending and then convincing themselves they are certain.. _________________***________________________ .

Well, I use to correspond with a muslim woman who lived in the UK (I live in the US). Just penpals, strictly platonic, but to say there was zero attraction. I certainly could not say no and I don't think she could either. Still though, we kept is just friends if for no other reason than because we had an ocean between us and we had no plans to actually meet up.
There is a part of me that would like to seek her out and renew our friendship but I feel that it is probably best to let it go. I already know my wife would not appreciate it and I doubt whatever husband she has would not either. Before our friendship faded, she was dating an atheist and was becoming one herself but her older sister was a devout muslim. Don't know where she is religiously now. I was an IFB then and I sometimes wonder if my being so devout back then caused any dissonance. If that chick could see me now.

what proves jw's aren't true?
by jwfacts ini am inactive and it took years of doubt to convince myself the jw's arent true.
i started doubting because i hated the idea that jehovah would kill 6 billion non-jw's.
the thing now that is the most important proof for me is that until 1954 jw's worshipped jesus and it is still in the watchtower charter, even though you now get disfellowshipped for worshipping jesus.

I lot of things summed it up for me. I was not a witness but was seriously considering becoming one as I was beginning to think after 6 years of off and on study that they may be on to something. Among the things that changed my mind were:
- Misrepresentation of the Trinity doctrine. Sadly, most trinitarians don't really understand it either (such as I until I began researching it more closely) and are therefore easily misled by the witnesses interpretation of it.
- The whole idea that the 144,000 mediate for the great crowd while Jesus mediates for the 144,000. This is in direct contradiction to what the Bible says.
- The fact that witnesses teach that our death provides payment for ours sins by misquoting the Bible passage that speaks of our dying to our sins by being made alive in Christ (not our literal dying).
- A few other Bible contradictions to their doctrines that I discovered but do not have time to go into detail now.
Then, of course, there is their double sided stance on blood, their numerous false dates, and their many doctrinal changes and flip flops. Even if I wanted to consider them another denomination of Christianity, their stance on blood, holidays, birthdays, and practically everything that seems normal to me would prohibit me from ever being a good witness. Sadly, as long as I am not one of them, they would never recognize my relationship with God. Oh well, who needs them.

Why is God speaking in riddles?
by sosoconfused init seems for most of the bible that god spoke directly to people and told them what to do.
he wrote things on rocks.
he gave them laws.

What is with all this other stuff? Calculations? Days for years added to some obscure events?
I obviously believe that all of that stuff is manmade if for no other reason than to make the inventor and/or the followers feel special. (as rebel8 pointed out) I believe that real truth that is closest to anything that would come from G-d would be so simple and yet so profound that many would not choose to believe it simply because truth just cannot be that simple. Especially to the individuals who love riddles.

Theists - Why does Morality require the existence of God?
by cantleave in"without god in your life, you cannot have a moral compass",,,, please explain to me why you think that should be so?

As others pointed out, it is easy to see why there seems to be two kinds of morality. One seems relativistic and the other is absolute. The absolute would imply that their needs to be a source of authority which for the theist (and I assume you mean Christian) would be G-d. However, the Christian paints himself into a corner (often unknowingly) when he states that without G-d he would be a sinner. Considering that the true test of character is whether or not you would do the right thing even when no one is watching, this assertion says little about that person's character.
