I Wonder Why This Number Is Rising So...
Politics1 min ago
Many people are concerned about the damage that they believe humans are doing to the earth and the life it supports
Will humans ruin the earth? Or will they ever be able to live in closer harmony with nature? Will Man Ruin the Earth Beyond Repair?
A reason for hope
The Bible gives us assurance that the future of our planet is secure. It explains why human efforts are not enough to save the earth, and it describes the real change that must be made. It also identifies how this change will come about.

Locust, ..I am asking you have you ever read this Bible and can you justify your accusations,for I will illustrate two passages for your investigation. king james. Revelation 22.18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and rom the things which are written in this book.
New World Translation (jw) Rev 22 .18 “I am bearing witness to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone makes an addition to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this scroll; 9 and if anyone takes anything away from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, God will take his portion away from the trees of life and out of the holy city, things that are written about in this scroll.
American Standard Version Psalm 83.18 That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth.
Psalm 83 King James Version 18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
New World Translation jw.psaLM 83 .18 May people know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth
The meaning of the sentence is that all they have done is update or transform into Modern English, and there is no real difference in the translation. They also mention having a free place for God or Lord and putting Jehovah in his correct position.

I think I'm right in saying the JWs believe that when you die you go to the grave and stay there until the end of the world when they will be physically resurrected and the rest of us will stay there - dead.
Locust, to clarify once again you're wrong. we are not the only ones. Go to paradise on Earth. we have to be judged the same as those who are resurrected. from the dead. and that means other people. not just JW's. it is not for us to judge.it is for our creator to judge. who has arrived the king - Christ Jesus. and .who has to be cast off. into death for eternity
17:42 Tue 25th Jun 2024 Locust, please stop quoting the Bible to me.
15:18 Mon 13th May 2024 Locust, you flatter yourself. Believing that which is fabricated isn't wisdom. -----I do you know butter up people just to make an impression on myself I speak the truth even if it hurts some people.
yes, I will not quote the Bible to you any more but you have shown your True Colors . and I will not communicate with you, or answer any of your questions. because you feel that I am false and untrue to my belief and Faith. which is my undergo to fulfil my purpose. to my creator who I believe in is the true god and the life giver of All Mankind.
Locust, I believe you are being disingenuous. Yes, you believe all will be judged but you also believe that only Jehovah's Witnesses will be saved - which is why you distance yourselves from the rest by calling yourselves 'True' Christians.
Communicate with me or not, I will still challenge your dangerous, damaging nonsense - and your arrogance - whenever I see fit.
Incidentally, your Bible, in many respects, does not align with others. I've a copy on my shelf and I've read that too.
