    My Catholic faith has become a liability -- where do I dump it?

    Blackrock - The Bible is older than the Catholic church and the counsel in the Bible is reliable while teachings of religions are not reliable. Love is the most important teaching in the Bible according to Jesus - see Matthew 22:37-40. Prayer is important - pray for your wife. Love your...

    My Catholic faith has become a liability -- where do I dump it?

    It will do good for you even if your wife does not accept pleas for forgiveness and reconciliation. At least you would still love her and want to do what the Bible really teaches. There are medications for bipolar I think. See these articles for encouragement...

    My Catholic faith has become a liability -- where do I dump it?

    It would help if you tried to follow what the Bible really teaches instead of the doctrines of a religion. This verse answers some of your questions: Acts 24:15 And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection+ of both the...

    What is the good news of God's kingdom - Matthew 24:14?

    You think the Holocaust was a hoax? Then how do you explain the experiences of Lutheran pastor Niemoller. Our literature quotes him: https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1997005?q=niem%C3%B6ller&p=par "IS God to blame for the wars fought by humankind? “No, God does not want war.” That is how...

    So, is there proof of INTELLIGENT DESIGN?

    OK, I'll be specific - again from: https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1101998021 "Equally vital is the intensity of the electromagnetic force in relation to the other three. For example, some physicists figure this force to be 10,000,- 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (1040)...

    In Praise of Virtue

    So, do you believe we should love Jehovah with our whole mind? Matthew 22:37-40 He said to him: “‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’+ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 The second, like it, is this: ‘You must...

    Biblical Wisdom

    Good points but on what basis do you think Ham was 'black'? See the table of nations in Genesis chapter 10 - many 'races' came from Ham. From our Bible dictionary under "Ham": https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200001832#h=5:582-5:884 Excerpt: "Some persons have incorrectly held that the...

    For those of strong faith, did you ever lose your faith, and if so, how did you recover it?

    Yes, Jesus is our shelter (so is Jehovah) and we are in times of storm. The fulfillment of prophecies of Jesus about the last days in Matthew chapters 24,25, Mark 13, Luke 21 is faith strengthening. For example, this is the second pandemic since the last days began in 1914 (the first was the...

    What is Rosicrucianism, and how can it help the world?

    Well, yes, both the Hebrew and Greek words translated in the Bible as "spirit" do mean invisible active force (aka invisible energy) - i.e. Hebrew ruach, Greek pnuema. However, the Bible also refers to life forms that are spirits - likely this means energy based rather than matter based life...

    So, is there proof of INTELLIGENT DESIGN?

    d Not to you - agreed. Perhaps that is because you are not willing to examine the evidence! Here is one way to discern God's power (just one attribute): Romans 1:20 For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things...

    For those of strong faith, did you ever lose your faith, and if so, how did you recover it?

    We see the fulfillment of Bible prophecy right before our eyes.m For example: 2 Timothy 3:1-5 But know this, that in the last days+ critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents...

    So, is there proof of INTELLIGENT DESIGN?

    Who is we? I was posting on thread title. First you say I posted no evidence - then you say no one knows anything about it. The truth is that while we do not know everything, we do know allot about the fine tuning of our universe that made the creation of life as we know it possible. I...

    In Praise of Virtue

    Perhaps I am misunderstanding you. The apostle Paul explained: Romans 7:14-25 For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.+ 15 For I do not understand what I am doing. For I do not practice what I wish,* but I do what I hate. 16 However, if I do what I do not wish...
