Ecc 5:18 ..it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.

Two questions: Why do you continually attack JW's when you both believe in Christ and why do you also say only those who believe in Christ will be saved, etc., when there are people on earth who never have and never will even hear the name Christ so what do you think will happen to those people? They automatically go to your hell because they never got the ...[text shortened]... eaven because they didn't know about original sin?
Don't you see a problem with all this?

(I would claim that other "higher entities" have "talked" to me now and then. I would also like to add, that I dont think these voices are in my head. I think I know the difference. As any well educated person ,(in these matters), would tell you .)
Originally posted by RJHindsThe only take I have on "Satan" is that "He" is a misguided "soul" that God takes account of.

The Holy Bible says to test the spirits that they are from God.

Yes and Satan and the spirits have never read the bible and thus wouldn't know how to pass these tests....
Originally posted by googlefudgeYou are probably right but they probably don't understand fully what it says. First the Bible says that ones who do not want to learn the truths in the Bible, God will not let them see. One has to have the right heart condition and it's for sure Satan and the demons don't have that.

Originally posted by galveston75So I ask again, what happens to those who all through their lives never heard and never will hear of Jesus, Christianity, original sin, etc.? Like tribes deep in the Amazon we have never met and never will.

But then the demons are said to be in Tarturas which is not an actual ...[text shortened]... nderworld and committed them to chains of darkness, keeping them there until the judgment.

Originally posted by josephwWhat if the mores and such are way different from ours, like in some tribes it is ok to cut out a girl's clitoris and has been going on for hundreds of years. So would your god condemn them for that practice or others that we would consider bad?
