I did research 😂 using that book, and other means. And I don't believe the book is outdated for a minute. The Bible is scientifically accurate.
This chat is getting a tad toxic. I'll leave you all to your discussion.
Enjoy your day.
I'm not sure if I've offended. Believe me, it was unintentional. However, since I was told I'm believing a pack of lies, well.
I believe it takes courage to say what you believe, and I respect you all for that.
And yes. I agree it's about a relationship with God. But in order to please him, I like to follow the guidelines he set. The arrangements he set. Because they truly make me happy. And he knows best because he created them.
Actually, I really can't believe any of that.
I firmly believe that being gay is against God.
God made the arrangement of one man and one woman. I like to respect that.
And Satan. He was an angel that wanted more power. He caused the suffering. He warped himself.
I don't celebrate...
Here are my thoughts.
The Bible says the ruler of the world is Satan. Therefore it is Satan, not God, causing the suffering.
Satan tempted Adam and Eve.
However. God sent his son as a sacrifice to erase sin and death. Through Jesus, we can have a relationship with God.
'For God loved the...
Interesting.
I wouldn't be happy without my religion. Even without the hope of living forever. Because I live a happier, more meaningful life for it.
And I believe it all.
My favourite scripture is Philippians 4;6,7
The peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and...
"Not everyone calling on the name of Jehovah will be saved"
"Not a hearer but a doer of the word"
I believe it takes more than having faith.
"Faith without works is dead"
And I agree about the wages sin pays is death.
Not everlasting torment.

Please remember the Bible is an old book.
Translated from Hebrew and Greek. And there are many different versions.
The Bible says the dead 'know nothing at all'
How could the dead be tormented in hell when they are unconscious?
And the Bible...
I don't believe in hell.
I don't believe a loving God would create a fiery torment for people that don't believe the right thing.
Hell is not in the scriptures.
Some scriptures have been misread as that.
In fact, when people were sacrificing their children to idols and making them walk through...
Why was Jesus praying to himself?
Why did Jesus send himself down to the earth?
Why did Jesus call God his father?
Why did Jesus stop someone worshipping him, saying that only God is to be worshipped?
Where?
These are the questions that I would ask myself ...and partly why I believe he...
Still just my beliefs, no hard feelings.
It says everyone who believes and does the will of God will be saved.
Not go to heaven.
And of course. More than 144,000 have accepted God. Millions more. But only 144,000 will go to heaven. The other people who are faithful still get their reward...
Revelation 7:4 and Revelation 14:1 talk about 144,000 people.
It's kind of deep 😂 all this is what I believe, I'm not saying anyone else is wrong.
So I believe that 144,000 people will/have been chosen to go to heaven. This is the 'little flock' that's talked about in the scriptures.
Then on...
