the jehovah's witnesses claim that at death you cease to exist... however, what if they have been taught wrong?
what if the bible explains that there is life immediately after death?
what if more than 8 people in scripture from old testament to new experienced, acknowledged or taught that there was life straight after death?
Hi Vander. I think you have valid objections for some, but I will try answering others.
5) Stephen was ready to go to Heaven at death
He is probably referring to Acts 7:59.
6) Paul knew at death, he would be immediately with the Lord,
Philippians 1:23
Why would Paul almost wish for death, saying being with Christ is far better.
if humans have to suffer to have free will and to disprove satan's challenge to god as mentioned in the bible...then why the f*ck do animals have to suffer as well?
.
satan's challenge involved humans and not poor animals.. i'm looking for an honest explanation from believers.. at this point, the older i get, the less i believe in a god who is "love"..
smiddy3, yes, atonement of sins requires a sacrifice. Besides, most of the meat was eaten anyways.
Adam and Eve chose to sin. Do perfect beings have free will?
i know that a lot of the people on here have turned their backs on the idea of a deity deciding that god does not exist.
but what about the unseen spirit world generally such as poltergeists, jinns, voodoo, etc.
if you have become agnostic, atheist, or just don't care since leaving, do you think that there are spirits out there or have you decided that is also hokum?
Nathan, I'm not talking about illusionists here. I'm talking about a few legitimate experiences I had that, alas, are irreproducible.
No sleight of hand, no mental disease.
I was a staunch atheist before. Seeing and experiencing convinced me otherwise. It wasn't a laboratory experiment, but then it didn't need to be.

God cursed the Earth because of sin. We and all creation get to see a world without God's good and full stewardship.

It's very real. Seeing was believing for me. I would be lying if I said otherwise.
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.
The charge that Jesus expects you to keep the Law comes from Matthew 5:17-20.
That's true up until Jesus' death. Once he fulfilled the Law, what was there to keep? No one could keep the Law perfectly, that's why he came.
hello one and all.. i've been a lurker on here for a few weeks now and i am finally starting to post on some threads.
a lot of the subjects that i wanted to talk about have already been covered so i wont bother restarting a topic that's been done to death.. im a 3rd generation, born-in, jw.
currently faded.
Wow, those look awful, honestly. I didn't look through all of them, but I'm not sure who would benefit from them.
I didn't mean to accuse you of lying, I'm just saying that it's OK, ethically, for a Satanist to do so, as you set your own rules.

The concept of defining your own good works if you are already inclined for good.
I can tell you from personal experience that there is a spiritual world out there.
Lying is perfectly acceptable to Satanists, so that's also something to consider.
how in the hell would it ever work?
everyone is youthful, everyone is perfect, everyone's personality is loving and kind.
how would you choose somebody?
