If I HAD to make a choice between becoming a Jehovah Witness or Catholic or Morman I would become a Jehovah Witness. 100%. Theyre not guilty as an organisation for shedding blood.

I can understand that, about Jesus the mediator between man and God. Thanks IreneI can also see JNFC post, how…God is Spirit Jesus a man. Gods spirit went into the body of Jesus God in the flesh.Is this what you mean…[Read more]

Wow.My mum was a Baptist, I enjoyed the church actually (Baptist) but when my Dad returned from no church attendance to his Catholicism the church had a meeting with them and told my mum she had to be a Catholic too. She had to give some sort of a vow to go under the Popes authority and submission or something, and she said she only goes under…[Read more]

There is something what you say makes sense .But then I get confused with what the bible says.

God taught me and I just knew there was God-there-with me. That was all. It wasnt confusing. Then I read literature that confused me against trinity or for it, and diferent beliefs, and I still get confused.Who do I pray to/through/? It was easier before.

Catholic teaching : Outside the (Catholic) Church there is no salvation.I used to sit in church, which stunk like polish, and look at the mother Mary statue, and Jesus on the cross, and I felt nothing at all. No salvation. I felt coldness and emptyness .Then, 20 years later, I found God alone, at home, with the bible.My family are Catholic, my dad…[Read more]

Quote (bodhitharta @ Aug. 25 2009,12:36)But, I ask once again would anyone here standby and watch a village of women and children be raped, sodomized and tortured? Would you just sit there and pray or would you fight?OF COURSE ID FIGHT!!(That is a good question it had me thinking today).

Yup, no point lol. Tis good though that your son and grandsons go to church. Our oldest 18 year old does too. I just hope his sister follows him. I know shes good at heart, she does read the bible I know, but its been a worrying time. Peace and love to you.

The way I see it, this is a testing place, we are given free will to either follow God or not. God could have programmed us to all be perfect but then wed be robots. God is sorting us out, strengthening us spiritually, were either strengthened or weak. And when Jesus comes, he will not come as the gentle one of the New Testement, but as the…[Read more]

This looks interesting, Im giong to read the thread when I have some time. What is the something specific you have to do Douglas if you dont mind me asking,

Hi Irene, yes my mum is still alive, we are very close. It is impossible to change some peoples viewpoints on the hell teaching though I have learned that. Theres no point even trying. They just dont see it. Or know. We are lucky.:) Blessings, Karmarie.

Hello,The old testament and quran do have these in them. The new testament doesnt. Only in the end when evil and badness is destroyed:)

Hmmm I agree Irene. I used to study Islam and Christianity and the eternal burning hell part I didnt question or even give it any thought.All I knew was that I didnt want to go there! Then one day I was thinking about it and I asked my mother “We never asked to come into this world, its hell enough as it is, why does God send people to eternal…[Read more]
