Having a Bible lesson can be so freeing and makes for a lot of clear thinking.
I agree as long as truth is coming from it

All the natural disasters are sad.Hurricanes,earthquakes etc.

So let us ask ourselves that think a loving Creator exists,why does he permit this?

Scripture in James tells us God doesnt try us with evil or wickedness.Never.

A&E rebelled under the influence of a rebellious angel that NOT only doomed mankind but has allowed this world to be what it is.

God told Adam the ground was cursed on his account.

Ponder this.JW.org speaks of Gods enemy Satan quite a bit to educate us why this world is so wicked.

ALL the other religeons hardly a whimper of him even tho the bible itself doesnt hold back info RE the devil.

Well if the whole world lies in the power of the wicked one and he is in control of all its political/religeous BS,it only makes sense for him to NOT include himself why the world is what it is.Satan realizes its much easier to blind many that his existence is a farce.The bible actually says he transforms himself into an angel of light for more deception.

Then he also makes it sound like he is in some type of hell and others will join him after their life is over on earth.Satan actually makes Jehovah look wicked or mean if he would punish his creation forever and burn in a hell.Just how Satan has blinded Christendom to believe such garbage.Jesus said once you knew the truth it will set you free from such nonsense.

Satan and devil mean slanderer or adversary.Exactly what he is to Jehovah God,the ONLY True God.

True Christians DONT go to war.

You cant support bible and go to war explained.

https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/why-dont-jw-go-to-war/

I was very fortunate in 1970.I passed my army physical.President Nixon and congress passed a birthday lottery who would get drafted.My # came out 160.They drafted up to 125 that yr.Vietnam was going strong.Those drafted had a good chance going there.

If i knew in 1970 what i knew what bible said i would have gone to jail instead of being drafted.

Thank you Nixon and congress.

In todays 30 minute public talk the speaker put emphasis on Math 5.Jesus Sermon on the Mountain.

2. What did a Hindu leader say about the practical value of the Sermon on the Mount?

2 The Bible can be of tremendous practical value to us. Many thinking persons have acknowledged  this fact. As an example, there is the following report in Treasury of the Christian Faith by S. J. Corey concerning a conversation between the Hindu leader Mahatma Gandhi and the former British Viceroy of India, Lord Irwin:

“Lord Irwin paid a visit to the Mahatma in his ashram. During the conversation Lord Irwin put this question to his host: ‘Mahatma, as man to man, tell me what you consider to be the solution to the problems of your country and mine.’ Taking up a little book from the nearby lampstand, Gandhi opened it to the fifth chapter of Matthew and replied, ‘When your country and mine shall get together on the teachings laid down by Christ in this Sermon on the Mount, we shall have solved the problems not only of our countries but those of the whole world.’ That from a Hindu!”

Most have a bible.Instead of picking up a newspaper read Jesus Sermon on the Mt in Math 5

“HAPPY are those who mourn”? “What a contradiction!” someone may well exclaim upon reading those words in Jesus’ sermon on the mount. Mourning and happy at the same time? How can that be?

A little reflection, however, will make it plain. True, among the many definitions of the word “happy” is “having the feeling arising from the consciousness of well-being”; and among its synonyms are gay, cheerful, pleasant, glad and joyous. However, “happy” also has a deeper meaning, such as fortunate, or, from the Bible viewpoint, “favored by God.” It is this weightier meaning that attaches to Jesus’ words: “Happy are those who mourn, since they will be comforted.”—Matt. 5:4.

I just put this piece up in a 9/11 topic.It belongs here too.

Do Not Look at “the Things Behind”

“No man that has put his hand to a plow and looks at the things behind is well fitted for the kingdom of God.”​—LUKE 9:62.

https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2012206

This parable Jesus gives is important to all of us.

It might be a good time now to thank the many that have supported and thanked myself,Hitch and Drutts over the past 10 plus years for our support of Jehovahs kingdom and HIS bible truths.

Unless FC folds we arent going anywheres.FC is a great venue to witness bible truths now with the pandemic going on almost 2 yrs.We will know when its safe to go out in the world by the governing body of Gods rule.

If you just need a break from this Satanic/manmade world please feel free to always stop by and view or chat here.

The few from the past that disrupted us are not or hardly here.Jehovah has supported what the 3 of us have done in ways that have proved that.

I know there are stilll many here that are not interested or dont support Jehovahs organization,but the members here now at least have stayed away and thats fine.Jesus didnt run for office or threaten those that didnt heed his message.Oh yeah he scolded and spoke the truth and using the bible i will gladly do so if any come in and disrupt our message.

Just remember what the bible says......the beginning of wisdom is the fear of Jehovah and it is Gods hope that all of us are taught the truth but remember we arent forced and have freedom of choice.Thats not a fear in a dreaded way.Its a fear just like when you have disobeyed your parents and they became disappointed in you.

Thank you.

Many have questions why those that serve and obey Jehovah dont celebrate certain days.

Its very simple.If you had an enemy would you support or celebrate days etc from them?Of course not.I dont think you would wish them Happy Birthday.

Satan is clearly Gods enemy through-out the bible and days such as Xmas,Easter,Halloween originated with Satan,NOT Jehovah.JW.org explains why those days are pagan.

God is clear especially to his chosen people in book of Exodus how he felt about false gods and worshipping them.Many lost their lives cos of that especially after he saved them from the Egyptians and proved there are NO other gods before him.

The time will come for all of us to choose to obey the first command that Jesus gave.LOve Jehovah and 2nd to love our neighbor.

We can clearly see the whole world lies in power of wicked one.Love and wars dont mix.

But we can be be sure God will end it soon and bring in a righteous system.

The devil knows his time is short and he is doing everything he can to bring down the human race.He will succeed to a degree but far from what he claimed.

Math 7:13 New International Version
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.

 Romans (6:23): “The wages of sin is death.”

1st Corinth 15:22:For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.

If man had an immortal soul Jesus would NOT have had to suffer and die.


Since death constitutes “wages” for sin, the Bible principle is, “He who has died has been acquitted [justified] from his sin.” (Rom. 6:7,

This scripture backs up we are dust and dont exist at death or asleep as Jesus referred to Lazarus right before he resurrected him.

Proving the hell theory is a crock from manmade/satanic doctrine.

Ill betcha NOT too many in Christendom know the biblical story of Ananias and his wife Sapphira in the book of Acts.

If they did maybe their conscience would kick in.

I often wonder how the Lord feels about all the evil people who will take a life without a thought.  I look around, On TV to see all the different types of hatred, prejudices that is going on in the World that he/she created.  To see a World I am sure was never to happen.

Thanx for the post Mrisha.

Thou shall not murder was 1 of the 10 commandments.So God is not too happy when somebody takes anothers life.

You are sooo right.God didnt create a world we have now.A rebellious angel <Satan>sinned and wanted worship from A&E by lying to them about their life and that God was holding something better back from them.Then in book of Job he said mankind doesnt love him and would only obey him cos he gives them everything.Let me <Satan>turn Job or anyone into poverty and they will curse you to your face.

We all know how that turned out.Many have proven the devil a liar with the best example coming from when Jesus was a man.Jesus showed under more trying conditions Adam could have loved and obeyed God.They didnt and doomed the human race into death.

God has allowed the wicked world to exist to see what is really in peoples hearts and to prove a manmade government with Satan behind the scenes will fail.

6000 yrs have proven that it fails and soon God will bring to ruin those ruining the earth and his original purpose with mankind turning the earth into a paradise and loving peaceful conditions will come to pass with Jesus ruling the earth from heaven as the Lords prayer says.And the wicked will be NOOOOOOOOOO more and the laws will be Jehovahs.

Jesus said he that is not on my side scatters.I dont think i need to explain that.
“The world is passing away and so is its desire,” says 1 John 2:17. ... Because the world in question has 'desires' that merit God's disapproval, ...

The bible says 1000 of our years is like 1 day to Jehovah who always existed and never will have an ending.

I bring that up cos man has existed for 6000 yrs and the nonsense that has been going on in this world is 6 days to God.

NOT very long.BUTTTTTTT from bible scripture we have been living in the last days of this Satanic/manmade system since 1914 and Jesus said as a sign that some living in 1914 would see the end.They are quite old now.
