What is the purpose of life?

by slimboyfat in

while reading the magazines the other day it occurred to me that jws never really had a very good answer to that question.

because it was aimed at young people and it said something along the lines, "if you believe in god you have a purpose, but if you don't believe in god your life has no purpose or meaning".

i think that is a faulty analysis of the situation.

Our fulfilling the law in loving others is not the ground of our justification. The ground of justification is the obedience and blood-shedding of Christ alone, appropriated through faith alone before any other acts are performed. Our fulfilling the law is the fruit and evidence of being justified by faith. But how and can we justify this faith? In just one scripture it adequately describes how we all let alone this demonstration, of what is to be expected of the Lord. Orphan Crow, I'll have you know that it indeed was not purposeless why and God let his own son go through that. It cannot be purchased in the wrong way because we read in Romans: "By the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin. But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction" Why did I have hat scripture because I wanted you to know why I think it isn't "pointless" as you say.

BB, Viviane is a know-it-all so I guess her brain is shrinking by the day and hour. I'm not a know-it-all, I just believe that God is the true God and I have no plans to stop that please because I have begin to think for myself ever since I quit the organization due to learning TATTT.

You are very wrong. Children don't know any better to believe in those things but God's faithful followers know better that he exists. Belief in God is not something that's only attributed to children. That's a dumb thing to believe. Lots of great hearted people believe that they were created. And for your information, I am a very mature adult, probably more mature than you, in spirit.

Even though I don't agree with what you said about the tooth fairy, you're right in most of the things you said. I came here myself to a place where most people don't have faith, so what did I expect? I expected at least some form of respect, and I got it from a FEW great people on here. It's true that I don't have to take the crap by those who disrespect God because at the end of their life, they will be the ones to receive judgement, not me. It's just really hard to imagine that a person could live their life and have no regard for their responsibilities to respect, trust, and serve God. It's just crazy to me, but like you said, everyone is different and has their own motive even if it is crazy and lacks holiness. Again, this is the internet after all, and disrespectful people are inevitable but like you said Lisa, I don't have to take their mess because I have blessings, and they don't.

So you're okay with people disrespecting other people's belief just because they don't believe the same thing? I thought this was a board with a lot of adults, not children. I'm sure you and others have the capacity to disagree with me without having to resort to disrespecting what I believe in by mocking and treating God like trash all because of your own lack of faith which is not a bad thing, by the way, you just lack it according to my opinion.

Whatshalllcallmyself, you said I was promoting a mass-murdering God, just stop while you're ahead. God does not permit people to murder as evident in his Ten Commandments to Abraham. And I abide by that rule promptly. Don't put me in the same category with those who use God for promoting their malicious acts because I am not like that nor do I promote it. So please, stop lying. And my belief does deserve respect as I'm not advising any wrongness at all. I'm advising happiness, worship, and overall sanctity involving morals through Jesus Christ. It's silly for you to assume that me, as a God-fearing man, condone murder and other wrongness just because I believe in God. That's prejudice. And you should know that there are loads of other rules that tell of badness that humans should stray away.

I was being disrespectful and I apologize but let's not act like I wasn't being kind in the beginning. But then a certain someone started to continue to harass and ridicule the Lord just because they don't believe in him and have no intention of believing. The fact that most of you on here will go along with that is just wrong to me. It's sad that most condone the ridicule of God himself on the internet but in real life you never see them saying the things that they say here because they know no one is going for that, but then again, this is the internet afterall like I sad.

"In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets." No I'm not going to name any names but some of you need to hear this essential principle because it seems that some of you don't have it.

OrphanCrow, that's okay you feel that way and I can't change your mind because that's the way you feel. All I can do is tell you that it was not pointless because he paid the price of sin in which we all would have died if he didn't. Studying the bible without witnessess can help us to think more independently about it.
