Aren't you dreaming?
About the future, about your plans, desires ...?
Dreaming is not bad, especially if the dreams have a solid foundation. My dreams are based on the promises of God.

And pretending is disgusting.
But I will not convince anyone that I am not pretending.
It is enough that God sees and knows that I am not pretending.

Hebrews 11: 1 (New World Translation) says what faith is:
"Faith is the assured expectation of what is hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities that are not seen."

For seeking friends.


You are absolutely right!
It's nice to meet a like-minded person.

About Mary ...
Yes, Maria became pregnant without being married.
But she became pregnant not by a man, but by the holy spirit of God.

When the angel Gabriel brought Mary the news of her future pregnancy, she asked him: how can I get pregnant if I have never had intimacy with a man?

What did Gabriel say to her?
Luke 1:35 (New World Translation) says: "In answer the angel said to her:" Holy spirit will come upon you, and power of the Most High will overshadow you... "

Mary's pregnancy is not the result of sin.
It was the will of God.

We're talking about sex outside of marriage.
Sex outside of marriage is a sin. Definitely.

To satisfy...
If a couple does not succeed with sex, they need to discuss this problem among themselves, to rub against each other. And not to run to look for an alternative - so you can run all your life and not find anything.

Agree with you. There are no good or bad nations. All nations have good and bad people.

Yes, that's right. God will destroy evil and everything connected with it: disease, poverty, hunger, injustice, crime ...
And the world will be completely different. The way God intended it.


Yes, humans are created in the image and likeness of God. Right.
And God has always been, He has no beginning and will not have an end.
Therefore, creating man, God endowed him with the ability to live forever. And it is not God's fault that man has lost this ability. The quote from Ecclesiastes 3:11 in the New World translation: "... he has even put eternity in their heart ...".

Why do people want to stay young for a long time, not get sick and live forever? Where did they get this desire?

Because God created them for eternal life, not for life in 70-80 years.
 

Indeed, God is and he is loving. And not only that: God has many qualities.

Anyone who believes in God has hope for the best.
And the one who does not believe in God, does not recognize Him, denies His
existence, what does he have, what can he count on?
No matter what!

What is faith, what do you think?

Like any Kingdom (state), God's Kingdom has a King, territory, subjects ...

God's Kingdom was established in 1914.
And Jehovah God appointed Jesus Christ the King of this Kingdom.

This Kingdom is in heaven (and not on earth), therefore it is also called the heavenly Kingdom.

The subjects of the Kingdom are millions of angels.

Very soon, God's Kingdom will be established on earth.
And that will be?

There will be no wars, crimes, injustice, poverty,
hunger, corruption and much other than the rich life of people now.
People will gradually become perfect, diseases, grief will disappear, death will not be ... Paradise conditions of life on earth will be restored. You can't list everything!
 

I totally agree with Toodygirl5!

In Matthew 5:32 and 19: 9 (New World Translation), Jesus Christ clearly shows that the only reason for divorce in the eyes of God, which actually breaks the bond of marriage, is the adultery of one of the spouses.

Yes, sex without marriage is a sin and very serious.

Sweet sin?
Consequences of "sweet sin":
Sexually transmitted diseases, emotional distress,
remorse, divorce, loneliness ... Nothing good.

Sweet sin isn't worth it.

Yes, that's right.
I completely agree with you.

Sir!
I will not answer your barbs addressed to me, let alone argue.

I don't know what translation of the Bible you are using.
But Rev 4:11 of our translation does not mention the word "pleasure". You have probably mixed up the verses.

The tone of your message suggests that your relationship with Jehovah is very difficult. I can also guess who you are, judging by your appeal.

I wish you all the best. Goodbye.

I really like people who show self-control and patience in everything. Respect!

WHY IS THERE SO MANY EVIL IN THE WORLD?

Why?
This is the question we ask ourselves when we hear about the misfortunes and calamities in the world. We are all concerned about why there is so much hatred and suffering in the world. Similar questions were asked even by people who had strong faith, for example, the prophet Habakkuk.

God hates evil and suffering even more than we do. Then why is there so much evil in the world? The answer is in the Bible.

Why do people suffer?
1.
Many priests and religious leaders claim that people suffer because this is the will of God.
Others believe that God decides in advance what misfortunes will happen in a person's life.
Still others think that people (including children) are dying because God takes them to his heaven. But that's a lie! Job 34:10 says, "...it is unthinkable for the true God to act wickedly, for the Almighty to do wrong!"

People believe that God is to blame for all bad things. After all, it is he who rules the world. But 1 John 5: 19 says "... the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one." And the Evil (Satan) is very cruel, because of his influence, people also become cruel.

2.
Another reason is that when Adam and Eve sinned, they stopped being perfect and passed on sin to their descendants - you and me. Sin is another cause of unhappiness. Because of their sinfulness, people compete with each other, fight for power, fight, oppress each other ... It is rightly said in Ec 8: 9 "...during the time that man has dominated man to his harm."

3.
Another cause of unhappiness is "time and chance." This means that a person can get into trouble simply by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

God is not guilty of people committing crimes, fighting and oppressing each other. Nor is it His fault that earthquakes, hurricanes, floods occur ...

Why does God allow us to suffer?

In the Garden of Eden, Satan deceived Adam and Eve and declared that God was a bad ruler. Satan wanted to convince people that he (Satan) will rule better than Jehovah and people do not need God. The first people believed Satan, they thought that they themselves would decide what is good and what is bad.

Jehovah did not begin to destroy the rebels. He acted wiser. God gave Satan time to prove that he was right. God gave time to people so that they could prove that they can live and manage themselves well without Him.

For thousands of years people have tried to control themselves, but they have not been able to do it well. And it became clear that Satan is a liar and people cannot successfully rule each other without the help of God. As Jeremiah 10:23 says, "I well know, O Jehovah, that man's way does not belong to him. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step."
 

Thank you for your reply.

I believe that God did not create people for his own pleasure and we are not
toys for him.

God is love.
==================
God's creations, including people, are an expression of God's love. As a loving
Father, he wants us not to just live, but to find pleasure in everything that
God has created for us. 1 John 4: 8 - "Whoever does not love has not come to
know God, because God is love."


Death
==========
Also, when a person dies, he cannot do, speak, think. And naturally, he cannot
return to earth. He is simply in the grave, asleep in death (as Jesus Christ
said).
Psalm 146: 4: "His spirit goes out, he returns to the ground. On that very day
his thoughts perish."

Yes, to understand God's truths you need to study God's Word - the Bible.
 

PRAYER.

Prayer is a respectful appeal to God, a conversation with God. Prayer is
associated with devotion, trust, respect and understanding of one's dependence
on who it is addressed to.

The Bible says:

that one should pray only to Jehovah God;

that God is the Hearer of prayer. Psalm 66:19 - "But God has heard; He paid
attention to my prayer";

that He always helps those who make requests of Him. Mark 11:24 - "This is why i
tell you, all the things you pray and ask for, have faith that you have received
them, and you will have them."

Some people believe that you can pray not only to God, but also to God's Son or
someone else. But this is not the case.

Any person of any nationality, material or social status can apply to the
"Listener of Prayers". Of course, turning to God in prayer, a person must
believe in him and that he will help.

In prayers, you can confess your sins, pray and ask God for something, express
gratitude and make vows.

Matthew 6: 9-13 records an example of prayer to God.

God's answer to prayer can be seen when He delivers his servants from enemies,
takes care of their physical needs,
gives a person moral strength to endure trials ...

Usually a person turns to God when he feels bad, when he is in trouble. And when
everything is good and beautiful, a person forgets about God.

Is this right?

Thank you!

Yes, the Bible is not a textbook, much less propaganda.
The Bible is the Word of God. And they began to write it when such concepts did not
exist.
God does not force anyone to serve himself. Therefore, he does not need to propagate
anything.
