hi good life I often read your article and I take time - I to try to understand where you are coming from I don't just read what I want to read ,( within my mind) , I I stop and think about it what you are trying to say and ponder over the word in what you are saying -- as aI class myself as a Christian I tried to understand other people point of view and try to put myself in their shoes. As I a class of Bible as God book . I still think over the Scriptures I am reaching and try to get a good understand of what it is trying to tell me.. I do not want to chase down the Highway and there is no Bridge .like some people.

A Saint will surely have the ear of God. Asking one to intercede on your behalf seems the way to go.

DT @You too obviously read what you want and not what is there! poor you.

////Of course, believers in all these religions claim that their religion is the true one. Yet we have to ask ourselves: Why have none of these religions prevented mankind from coming into the critical situation that we see around us today?////

But neither has your religion goodlife.

[Canary42]

Tut tut divebuddy, you'll be getting venerate disease.

Canary@ If God had prevented all such acts of domination, would he not, in effect, have turned his own words into a lie? so if you know your Bible you should know why.

Remember, too, that Satan claims that people serve God only for selfish reasons. (Job 1:9, 10; 2:4) If God protected all his servants from all forms of domination, would that not tend to substantiate Satan’s claims? And if God prevented all forms of oppression for everyone, would he not be responsible for an even greater falsehood.

But God’s Word says the very opposite—that man is completely incapable of governing himself. (Jeremiah 10:23)

locust, what does this mean? "As I a class of Bible as God book" ?

\\ But God’s Word says the very opposite—that man is completely incapable of governing himself. (Jeremiah 10:23) //
So god was incapable of creating a man able to govern himself or deliberately created a flawed man.

[goodlife]

Vulcan poor you, but yes Because he created us with the marvelous gift of free will, the faculty of freedom of choice.

It would be folly for you to think that this world could successfully regulate society without Jehovah ruling them. It would be contrary to the way we were made.

Independence from Jehovah’s rule would, without fail, result in selfishness, hate, cruelty, violence, wars, and death. ‘Man would dominate man to his injury.’—Ecclesiastes 8:9. you got a lot to learn.

[sandyRoe]

But when is this rule coming? Man does dominate man to his injury.

It's at times like this that I miss Naomi's cool, even handed and fair, responses to posters like Goodlife. Is she on holiday, does anyone know?

locust, sorry for the bad translation
I class the bible as the word of god

Bible was written by man and put down in written form so human could understand the word God (yes he could have written its himself) but he gave it to humans to write it for him... Like a boss- who was dictating to his secretary's and written down what he was proposing for the future for his company in the same way it created (God) did the same.

Hope they weren't on zero hour contracts and were paid above minimum wage ;-)

sandyRoe if you know your Bible you should know why and when. (Matt 24:14)

[scorpiojo]

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come...still doesn't explain when

scorpiojo@ These are matters for Jehovah alone to determine. (Matthew 24:36) When the witness is given to Jehovah’s satisfaction, he will bring an end to this wicked system of things. Only then will Christians discern that the preaching work has been accomplished to the extent Jehovah purposed.
