Yeah I mean what the hell is that about honestly accusing everyone worshipping the devil

That would be great on a t-shirt 😁

If you're not on God's side you automatically belong to Satan regardless of what your beliefs are. As long as you don't worship God Jehovah, he's content cuz ultimately that's what he wants.

But it doesn't make any sense. Your whole religion is contradictory. Your god is supposed to be all powerful, right? And your prophet said that your god loves everyone. So your god has the power to end everyone's suffering, cure disease and end war and all that, but he just.... doesn't? And he also has the power to let everyone into heaven, but he leaves some folks to suffer for eternity because they didn't worship him hard enough? That's pretty f****d. That guy doesn't sound like the kind of god I'd want to get behind. And I'm not judging you for choosing that religion. If you can reconcile that in a way that makes sense and works for you, more power to ya. Just don't try to sell it to me, or fit my beliefs into the flawed framework of yours. It's not the same. I'm not interested in being inserted into your narrative. Do you and leave me and my folks out of it .

To Novel Idesa I say, Amen!

it's about choice. my body my choice.

ye

Ahh okay this is were people get confused. See God dose love us. for the same reason we have democracy. Free will. He lets people choose what they can and what they won't do. Getting made at God for allowing free will is pretty much hatting what the USA is suppose to stand for. freedom of speech. or your parents. if done right, they can teach you and guide you in the right direction. but ultimately its the kids will when they reach adult hood to decide what they wanna do with it the real problem is people twist God's actual teaching. and honestly as a christian myself it makes me sick. So if anything we can blame man for all this suffering. God soe work tho. most of the time its hard to see. But i know for a fact that god wanted us to have free will so we can choose to love him,and try have a heart change .once we except him its up to use whether we want to spend time with him . He doesn' aks you to pray a hundre times adai. or what ever he simply asks you to spend time with him

You say 'But i know for a fact that god wanted us to have free will so we can choose to love him, and try have a heart change .once we except him its up to use whether we want to spend time with him; but can't you reconcile what you said with what Novel Ideas said, 'And [your god] also has the power to let everyone into heaven, but he leaves some folks to suffer for eternity because they didn't worship him hard enough? That's pretty f****d. According to you, your god gave you free will so you can CHOOSE to love him, but if you don't love him enough, you don't get to go to his special place in the sky. Right. Got it.

Nope. The USA and your parents are not omnipotent. As your god is omnipotent, all the evils in the world are his doing, either by act or omission. Cancer is not caused by free will.

LMAOOOOO - Man, ppl in cults are nuts! Wait, do you know your in a cult? Does everyone that is a Jehovah's Witnesses know that it's widely known to be a cult? You guys & the scientologist are neck and neck on ridiculousness - however, in your defense, all organized religions are cult like, some worse than others.

This I liked.

?

Several posters here argue and.... are all wrong. Satan in hebrew means rival. It is literally used as the term for "enemy" several times in regards to human warfare. It is mentioned in the book of Job as an angel who simply had an argument with god. It is by no means a deity in its Jewish origin. The Christianity view of Satan comes from a whole other can of worms. The whole Goat like image is actually based on Pan from Greek Mythology.

Pan. The god of iron skillets. ;)

" satan is responsible...." that may be, but has satan killed almost the entire human race with a giant flood because he didn't like the way it was going?

Jeremiah is Old Testament, so people who are actually Christian as opposed to just guessing would consider it to have been supplanted by the New Covenant of Grace. Also, Satan doesn't want anything, because he's NOT REAL.

Nope. He meant the Roman Empire. Sorry you don't understand your own theology.

J-A Laine I'm personally Christian but having some trouble with the beliefs right now. So does that mean I'm automatically on Satan's side?!?! I try to serve the people around me and not gossip and all the things most Christians try to do. But I'm not entirely on God's side. So am I on Satan's?!?

Of course you aren't, and people who believe that you are are honestly pretty dumb.

I applaud you for questioning your beliefs with the clear eyes of logic. Becoming a true adult is difficult but life without fear of a deity's wrath is wonderful!

"People are ignorant about things that only exist in my head". OK champ

Raised in a religious cult. Better read regarding christian beliefs than any "christians" I've met. J-A Laine, I am far from ignorant; it's all a bunch of b******t designed to control people and gain power and wealth. Your ignorance is your bliss. But, I'll say it again, most people don't like to be confused by facts.

Awww.... How sweet for the devil to be so supportive!

He is a loving diety :)

God definitely believes in me. He believes in you too.

lol ok jehovahs witness, have you disowned any of your kids? Been told by an elder to ignore abuse and to abandon your family over a cult?

I live in a small apartment complex where easily 1/3 of the residents are JW. They welcomed me when I arrived, we talked for about 10 minutes and that was it. I know other people do not have the same experiences. We all co-exist and help each other out. Even a group this morning going to a meeting, about 20 or so, waved and said Hi, but nothing more.
