Abe you obviously cannot quote anything jesus said without the mouthpiece of a mere mortal, and we know absolutely how unreliable they can be.
Time for some serious thinking.
Remember jesus wrote not a syllable of the bible, dont you think his followers had an agenda?
It is only their words via multy renditions/translations/additions/subtractions, you are giving credence to.

ABe is your life not worth more than information and other opinion on mediums like videos. These are only other people's opinions.
You have avoided my questions.
Are you able to answer in your own words.
It does require thinking of course.
as of yet, no member of the jehovah's witness faith can defend their unique beliefs.
when the dust settles, it all comes down to blind faith in men's ever-changing ideas.
this "unique belief" was not a "true teaching of the bible.
Heavens, You are quoting scripture to support your OWN premise.
You are following the example of the G.B.
DOt seems to be starting to discern things for himself.
THAT IS ENCOURAGED on this forum, unlike your man made organisation.
1) if an atheist becomes selfish, others have no reason to be discouraged.
but see what happens if a religious leader becomes selfish, many may copy his behavior.

Hii FHN, SORRY! .If you review post 20434 you may see some arrogance.
Which category do you fit into?
Coming to a belief in god as an adult is a different ball game than child inculcation.
Wouldn't you agree.?

Abe your correct but what I heard had nothing to do with my questions.
Are you saying because you read an ancient scripture that has given you
Discernment of inspired? Utterances.
Do you honestly believe that?
Where's the proof? Your just guessing.
Why weren't you given different tongues?
Cmon abe wise up dont insult your intelligence.
Why are you paying heed to jesus supposed words through
other mouthpieces can you really trust ancient mortals
Why not drag youself into the present.

Thanks able,..BUT , what is it proof of ? I saw and heard nothing that has givin me an
answer to the questions I posed.
Why not try your own words.
Your premise re the bible and JWs seems a bit skewed.
Are you sure being that exJWs are pretty small in comparison to
mankinds population, is that not the audience the bible was supposed
to be written for? Mmmmmm I think you need to review your understanding.

Thanks FHN, I can put you into the god exists just because catagory.
Possibly someday you might consider the implications of accepting this young
child learned concept and do some grown up thinking on it
Things happen.

Able , can you quote me anything jesus said without using the words of another?
Therefore what is happening that someone said jesus said?
You dont need faith because you have proof?
1 proof of what ?
2 be sure to let those with faith know your evidence, you never know you
could be hailed as the new messiah!!

Fhn, do you think god is aware of you? You wrote "if god exists", does that imply doubt?
Whatever happens in the future is no more than conjecture as it is unpredictable.
Are you a theist? I'm not reading your understanding of the god thing.
I am interested as part of my interest into why those who have a need to believe in supernaturalism
come to their reasoning especially if self calculated as opposed to being born into a belief or
inculcated from an early age.
Any way if you dont feel like explaining anything thats cool.
Best wishes to you.

Hi FHN, no i dont blame god for for mankinds situations good or bad, that is squarely mans doing.
I do not have a belief in god.
I was intrigued by the notion of god just happening it seems an odd expression,more reminiscent
of human understanding of gods ways ie thinking on behalf of or presuming he does things now and again.
I agree we dont understand everything,but i personally am not trying to understand god i have no need.
Whereas if you do believe in a deity who has the ability to intervene to prevent tragedy befalling his
creations (which he loves so much) wouldnt you love and worship him more,after all is that not
what he has supposedly required from his creations?
You say your not a xian but surely the same must apply,or dont you see god as a loving creator?
