Subject: And your point is? Author: BTL [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 02/27/04 5:44pm In reply to: QUITTNER 's message, "There are very many "Truths"" on 02/27/04 12:27pm The thing is without sounding arrogant is that we follow the Bible carefully. We do not say it is the truth to gain credability or gain money. We are a non profitable organisation. We give from our hearts donations to help the preaching work as admonished by Jesus Christ. The Bible was not for intellectuals, God would not have wrote the scriptures in riddles that man could not fully understand. Rather he gives us clear cut commandments, prophecy and insight as to things to come in the very near future. Many will quibble as to which "Religion" is the right one right down the time when Armageddon comes and it is to late. Rather they should be trying seek answers from the Gods instructions as to how to attain the the truth in all matters. Many pick and choose from the Bible to suit their lifestyles. We do not. All scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, that the man of God maybe fully competant, completely equipped for every good work. We do not adhere to a creed based on human tradition. We hold to the Bible as the standard for all our beliefs. We are called Jehovah's Witnesses because we worship Jehovah as the only true God and freely speak to others about him and his loving purposes toward mankind. We believe it is important to apply the counsel of Gods word in everyday life now, at home, in school, in business, in their congregation. We show genuine christian love for our neighbors, but we do not share in the politics and the wars of any nation. We provide for our families but shun the worlds avid pursuit of material things and personal fame and its excessive indulgence in pleasure. From these things alone we are very different than just another faith. Jesus sais that his disciples would be readily identified because of having love among themselves. this is the case with Jehovah's Witnesses.
